Fully Understanding Fully Understanding the Bill Ayres “Distraction”

It is true that most voters vote their pocketbooks. But that doesn’t mean they would elect Mao Zedong president — even if they believed he could guarantee robust job growth, low inflation, and a roaring stock market.

Therefore, another truth is that voters want to know (and are “entitled to know,” as pollster Frank Luntz put it so well and John McCain didn’t) facts that help them draw conclusions about a candidate’s politics and character.

Why is it, then, that Democratic politicians and their liberal allies pooh-pooh the Bill Ayres issue as a “distraction”?

Why is they mock demands for full knowledge of a presidential candidate’s alliance with a far-left, unrepentant former terrorist leader to “improve” education for Chicago’s children, not by enriching them with effective teaching in the three R’s but by corrupting them with the R of leftist radicalism?

Why is it they blithely dismiss the significance of a presidential candidate’s alliance with a former terrorist who as recently as 2001 said, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” (Remember that part of the “didn’t do enough” was a failed attempt to bomb a dance at a New Jersey army base.)

Barack’s love of terrorists is something the mainstream media has done its best to keep under wraps. Barack has been endorsed by Hamas and hailed by Hezbollah supporters. He has a long association with domestic terrorist, and mad bomber William Ayers; an association Obama has unsuccessfully tried to distance himself from. In fact Obama blurbed one of Ayers books, a fact that his campaign has lied about when issuing their original denials.

Who Barak has chosen to associated with should give all Americans pause.

**But that doesn’t mean they would elect Mao Zedong president ...**

If it was Mao Zedong (D)... he’d get minimum 28% of the vote.

He’s still a puss that wants to be like the real tough guys. “My friend could beat you up.”

My daughter (She’s 21) couldn’t understand all this AYERS stuff. So I used ME for Obama and TIMOTHY McVeigh for Ayers, and told here the basic timeline. SHE Understands now!
