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.

BIG DITTO.
They've been together since 1982 when 0bama was at Columbia and Ayers at Bank Street College.

And when did the pair first meet? While Bambi was at Columbia, perhaps? And how, and with whose help, did Bambi get into Harvard Law School?
He most certainly did!!!!!!!!
I think I may have been one of those who sent hate e-mail to Ayers............ :)
probably when hell freezes over... she hit on Ayers again yesterday in her interview with Blitzer; he looked like he wanted to puke when she brought it up.
I think there is a reason all signs of The O has been scrubbed at Columbia, I cannot believe more people were not concerned about it.
BTW has anyone sent this to BOR or Hannity?
Yeah - the Addams family.
Look back at my comments, as I’ve been claiming that for months...yes you are right on. Bill Ayers is going to be on Good Morning America today, and made a statement yesterday that he was “a family friend”...evidently O lied when he said “he is just a guy in neighborhood”...maybe Ayers will admit he knew O’s mother.
Ayers called the police after “Oreilly’s reporter” went to his house, what a “baby”.
or the Chaplain for Congress...it’s gonna get weird, and don’t forget Calypso Louie (the false prophet).
