Maybe they will let him promote his newly reissued book on the Weather Underground too! If so, perhaps they will ask him about this interesting quote in the book’s new afterword: 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. What convenient timing for Mr. Ayers to tell ...

... . Anyway, belated confirmation . “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. But right-wing commentators tried to use those connections to smear Obama, he says. “Obama’s political rivals and enemies apparently saw an opportunity to deepen a dishonest narrative about him, that he is somehow un-American, alien, linked to radical ideas, a closet terrorist, a sympathizer with extremism,” Ayers wrote. ...

... that, despite what he told us while running for President, Barack Obama really did sit in his “spiritual mentor’s” church every Sunday imbibing Black Liberation Theology. For 20 years. Where he picked up absolutely nothing that will affect his worldview. Unless he writes another autobiography — in which case I expect to find that the experience was transformative. Now, as a follow-up, comes the news most of us already knew: Bill Ayers was more to Obama than “just some guy from the neighborhood” : In a new afterword to his 2001 book, Bill Ayers, former leader of the 1960s ...

... man you entrusted with your vote lied about his relationship with domestic terrorist and attempted mass murderer Bill Ayers. Many of you either didn't hear about Ayers, or accepted Obama's evolving explanations that Ayers was "just a guy in his neighborhood," or someone that he thought had gone through some sort of terrorist rehabilitation perhaps at the Yasser Arafat wing of the Betty Ford Clinic. But now that Ayers has come out and admitted that their relationship is very close" family friends " is how he put it how does that make you feel? I ask, becuase as Malcolm once ...

... words. That’s, sticking with nice, round numbers, about 1,000 Sundays in the warm embrace of the deranged, America-hating, racist nutjob, “Rev.” Wright. Yet none of that ever influenced the Obamessiah in the slightest little bit. Nope, not at all. Which is either a blatant lie, or a grievous insult to the oratorical skills of Trinity Hate Emporium’s chief paranoid schizophrenic. Pick one.

MCCAIN: Well, again, while you were on the board of the Woods Foundation, you and Mr. Ayers, together, you sent $230,000 to ACORN. So — and you launched your political campaign in Mr. Ayers’ living room.
OBAMA: That’s absolutely not true.
From Ayers now:
