You see, most liberals view the Weather Underground as a misguided element of their coalition that just went too far 40 years ago. Their objectives of “ending the war” were commendable and their intentions were good, but they just went too far by bombing and killing. That’s how somebody like Obama can get away with saying “Bill Ayres is an English Professor in Chicago who happens to live in my neighborhood who did some bad things when I was eight years old.” WOW!
Either Obama is a extraordinarily naive, or he is doing some serious covering up here (perhaps a little of both). A quick reminder: Obama started his political career in William Ayres’ living room. He served for years on the same boards with him. They shard an office at the same address for years. Their wives worked at the same law firm for years (Ayres is married to terrorist Bernardine Dohrn). William Ayres has been loudly and publicly unrepentant… etc… etc… “just a guy who lives in my neighborhood” indeed.

Is a man ever to be judged by the company he keeps, or is everything a simple mater of “guilt by association”? If Charles Manson was my friend for many years, would any of that be a reflection on me? Or do I get a complete pass just by saying that I disagree with Manson’s behavior with regard to the people he murdered, and point out that Manson committed his crimes when I was eight years old? Hello? is there anybody home?
