From the Obama Campaign “Action Wire”:
It is absolutely unacceptable that WGN would give a slimy character assassin like Kurtz time for his divisive, destructive ranting on our public airwaves. At the very least, they should offer sane, honest rebuttal to every one of Kurtz’s lies.
In the next few hours, we have a crucial opportunity to fight one of the most cynical and offensive smears ever launched against Barack.
Tonight, WGN radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears. He’s currently scheduled to spend a solid two-hour block from 9:00 to 11:00p.m. pushing lies, distortions, and manipulations about Barack and University of Illinois professor William Ayers.
Tell WGN that by providing Kurtz with airtime, they are legitimizing baseless attacks from a smear-merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse.
Call into the “Extension 720” show with Milt Rosenberg at (312) 591–7200
(Show airs from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. tonight)

Obama wire:"Tell WGN....they are lowering the standards of political discourse." Utterly shameful!Milt Rosenberg lowering standards?!!! Senator Obama needs to look in the mirror.
Truth Hurts says:
So much for collegiality among members of the University of Chicago faculty! Alright, Obama was only an adjunct lecturer, unlike Milt Rosenberg. By the way, the terrorist William Ayers is not on the faculty of the University of Illinois campus. He obtained his sinecure at the University of Illinois - Chicago, where political clout rules.
Perhaps H.R.H. Obama will reintroduce the Alien and Sedition Acts to prohibit criticism of his administration as soon as his coronation takes place.
