Dohrn worked for Sidley Austin in New York Office, Michelle worked for Sidley Austin in Chicago...different times. This is a red herring.

This is a red herring.

Maybe so, but where there is a stench, there is Obama. Here is the connection we need to hammer them with:

Michelle Obama organized a University of Chicago panel about Bill Ayers's crime book in November 1997, just as the battle over the juvenile justice bill was heating up. That panel featured appearances by some of the key figures discussed in Ayers's book, along with Obama himself, who was identified in the press release as "working to block proposed legislation that would throw more juvenile offenders into the adult system." In effect, then, this public event was a joint Obama-Ayers effort to sink the juvenile justice bill-Obama's decision to plug Ayers's book in the Chicago Tribune the following month was part of the same political effort.

So...Obama's denial doesn't cut it. Here is a screen shot from the University Website:

It does make one wonder about Sidley Austin, though, and about its clients. Why would a major law firm be employing someone who has confessed to carrying out bombings, and been convicted of aggravated battery and bail jumping? This is one of the largest corporate law firms in the US, and does work for a long list of respectable corporate clients. You would think some of their big revenue clients would raise a major stink about their employing attorneys with backgrounds like this.

Didn’t Dohrn come back to Chicago in 87. When did Ayers finish at Columbia?
