The Chicago Tribune reported:
1960s radical William Ayers has written a new afterword to his old book, "Fugitive Days: Memoirs of an Anti-War Activist." In it, he stated,
“We had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fund-raiser at my house, where I’d made a small donation to his earliest political campaign.”

President-elect Obama, throughout the election, had denied he had a close relationship with Bill Ayers. What else that had been denied will be found to have been true?

Poor Barry. He keeps getting caught with his pants down when it comes to Mr. Ayers. Obama's judgment has been faulty from day one and now it has come back to haunt him. Good luck, sucker!
closet conservative,
You are grasping at straws. Obama's relationship with Ayers is far less damaging that Sen. McCain's relationship with a convicted felon named G. Gordon Liddy. The only difference is that Obama has renounced what Ayers did back when Obama was 8 years old while McCain is close personal friend of Liddy right now.
In fact, Liddy held fund raiser for McCain at the Liddy home just recently and Sen. McCain defended Liddy on the Letterman show in the past few weeks.
So if you are looking for skeletons in closets look at the ones that are both the most recent and the most relevent.
So because McCain hangs out with a jerk, we are supposed to believe Obama's family friendship with a man who feels no remorse for bombing the home of the Murtagh family is okay?
We aren't to be concerned that this friend of Obama's led his group, the Weather Underground, to bomb not only the Pentagon, but the home of a judge whose 8-year-old boy was there, sleeping in bed when more than one bomb was let off, and who just the other day repeated his assertion that he "didn't do enough"?
Ayers says he was "active in the anti-war movement," but how does this justify bombing the home of a judge who was presiding over a Black Panther case?
Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground central committee. In early 1970, he instructed people on how to build bombs. He told them the bombs should contain fence staples and nails in order to injure and kill people. He told them where to bomb and when. He said, "Sometimes innocent people have to die in a revolution."
And the other day, he reiterated on Good Morning America that he doesn't "think they did enough."
This man, who got off on a technicality, was photographed stomping on the American Flag and said, "Guilty as hell - Free as a bird. What a great country."
This horrible person is someone Obama and other libs think is a great resource for tips on how to help and teach kids. Does it dawn on any of them that they and their great ideas are the reason many of us don't want our children in public schools?
McCain has nothing to do with this. Don't try to change the subject. McCain isn't going to be president. Obama is. McCain's history.
Our future president's consistent choice to befriend violent, angry, and/or corrupt friends is scary and we have every right to be concerned.
