From the Chicago Sun Times via Ace of Spades:
In a new afterword to his 2001 book ["Fugitive Days"], Bill Ayers, former leader of the 1960s radical group Weather Underground, describes President-elect Barack Obama as a family friend....Okay, so now Mr. Ayers has confirmed that he and Obama were "family friends". However, there's another point that needs to be made:“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,” he writes....
On October 6 of this year [2008], the Obama campaign released a memorandum, entitled, "Will the McCain Camp be Challenged on their Lies?":
The memorandum states: "Please find, below, a list of the most common lies the McCain campaign tells about Ayers and the actual facts that prove them false."
And among those lies and facts, it states the following: LIE:
Senator Obama's political career was launched at a fundraiser hosted by Ayers. FACT:....As the New York Times [10/3/08] confirmed, previous coffees had been hosted for Obama's State Senate campaign. State Senator Alice Palmer, Obama's predecessor, introduced some of her longtime supporters to Obama at Ayers home. That's it. It wasn't even a fundraiser.And on October 30, the New York Times also colluded with the Obama campaign in this farce, and wrote the following:
"An article in some editions on Monday about an appearance by William Ayers, the 1960s radical, at a symposium in Manhattan referred incorrectly to the event he held in 1995 for Barack Obama , who was then running for a seat in the Illinois Senate. It was a neighborhood gathering, not a fund-raiser."But now we know from Bill Ayers' own pen that the aforementioned gathering was indeed, a political fundraiser. As Bill Ayers writes in the afterword to his 2001 book: “We... 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."
Hopefully, the Obama campaign will add the October 6 memorandum/smear to their "Fight the Smears" website. It's the least they can do to atone for their many blatant lies and smears.
All Marxist monkeys are liars. People who vote for liars are fools. Not complicated!
It would have all of the political benefit (and more) and none of the downside that using his relationship with Rev Wright would have.
The guy is an admitted America hating bomber, for *&^ sake.
All Marxist monkeys are liars. People who vote for liars are fools. Not complicated!
Means to an end...
If I am not mistaken, Ayers has been a guest at the White House.

BREITBART STRIKES AGAIN
From the website:
As a presidential candidate in 2008, Barack Obama disavowed any connection with former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground radical who was one of Obama’s early backers and his colleague on the board of the Woods Fund in Chicago. We now have proof that Obama’s association with Ayers continued even after Obama had been elected to represent Illinois in the U.S. Senate—in the form of a now-scrubbed blog post placing Obama at the home of Ayers and his wife, fellow radical Bernadine Dohrn, on July 4, 2005.
Well, of course the relationship continued despite Obama’s lies to the contrary.
In March of this year, I wrote that maybe Obama’s association with the two terrorists was about to be exposed:
Back in the election of 2008, I wrote a post titled, “The Relationship Obama Doesn’t Want You To Know About.” The relationship was one of many questionable—and somewhat characterologically revealing— relationships that should have made anyone question whether Obama should even be considered to occupy the highest position in the land. The Obama machine attempted furiously to squelch any and all attempts to shed light on these relationships; and the sheep-like media went along because they were blinded by worship. Consequently, Obama’s connection with Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground was never throroughly vetted. In fact, Ayers even enjoyed a round of rather positive media coverage which attempted to show he wasn’t such a bad guy after all. I mean, all he did was try to blow up and kill a few people (see here). But Ayers and Obama have always been dead serious about their committment to “social justice.”
You can read it all at the two links.
As I said then and repeat now:
We simply can’t afford four more years of a President with the Bill Ayers mentality in the White House.
Even in death, I’m hoping that Andrew Breitbart will have the last laugh .
You were expecting this crowd to tell the truth about anything?
