Bill Ayers: Barack Obama a 'family friend'

In a new afterword to his memoir, 1960s radical William Ayers describes himself as a "family friend" of President-elect Barack Obama and writes that the campaign controversy over their relationship was an effort by Obama's political enemies to "deepen a dishonest narrative" about the candidate.

Ayers describes phone threats and hate e-mail he received during the campaign, and he bemoans Obama's guilt by association.

During the campaign, Ayers' friendship with Obama was a favorite subject of conservative bloggers and talk show hosts who insisted the two were closer than the candidate was admitting. Ayers' new description of the relationship seems to contradict Obama's statements.

Obama had dismissed Ayers as "a guy who lives in my neighborhood" and "somebody who worked on education issues in Chicago that I know."

A campaign spokesman told The New York Times last month that Ayers and Obama hadn't spoken by phone or exchanged e-mail messages since Obama became a U.S. senator in January 2005. Obama himself denounced the "detestable acts" Ayers engaged in during the Vietnam era.

Ayers describes phone threats and hate e-mail This from a terrorist.

LOL. Trash their cars and apartments. Kill your parents. That's where it's at. (quoting Bill Ayers, in case someone doesn't know.)

As always with them, the end justifies the means.

Ain't that the truth.

Maybe Obama will be able to confiscate some of his earnings....Huh, Obama...The President Eject...doesn't need Ayres money

He collected more than 5 million dollars A DAY last month all the while whining about the ruined economy.

His rich friends here and abroad had no problem funneling millions to him through multiple anonymous credit cards and other nefarious means so his friends are doing just fine financially.

He owes many people and a lot of them not in this country.

Clinton redux with the financing.

Watch for favors to the Islamic country contributors from the new Renegade President

His appearance on GMA will be a love fest and denial of any close association with the President Eject B. Hussein Obama.

High fives all around the set...we suckered the American public once again...

codepink in Berkeley hate the cops and accuse them of brutality.

At one event several hours after their minions bashed Pro America Patriots with their signs (the cops were called on them and the police hung up) when they were losing verbal exchanges yelled out for the cops to protect them.

I'm sure Ayers would do the same.

Hopefully the cops will be from the precinct that he bombed and killed two of them

So, this confirms that Ayers and Obama did indeed “pal around.” When will the legion of Palin detractors offer to set the record straight and offer up an apology.

This admission by Ayers is only the beginning of lies and omissions by Obama seeing the light of day. There are going to be a lot of embarrassed people who voted for this jerk.

Clintons would almost be a relief after Obama ALREADY. I don't want to think about President Bush leaving, in spite of some disagreements, life will be excruciating after he is out of office.

Too bad this POS didn’t get nailed by the Fort Dix nail bomb he designed, that killed his comrades.

The really beautiful irony was watching a FOX reporter try to ask him questions on the sidewalk, and this anarcho-terrorist called the cops.

And another question avoided...Billy Ayers, did you write Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father”?

Thing is Ayers is estactic and can’t help but gloat and boast that his “work in progress, Obama” has made it. Watch Ayers take every opportunity to rub our faces in it. Calling the cops in Chicago was just another way of using a just society’s laws at their whim. Kind of like Islam does in their incremental take over of a society. When they finally are in control there will be no policeman to call to help the commoners out, just thugs to continue the punishment.

It disturbs me profoundly that voters could learn about this profane friendship, acknowledge it, and still vote for the scumbag.
