Or possibly you mean one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter?
That's exactly what I mean.
Osama bin Laden is part of the royal family of Saudi Arabia and the Bush family has had a relationship with them for decades, but no one would suggest that Bush hangs out with terrorists.
Suppose you work in an office. You have relationships with your co-workers. You like some people and you don't like some people. That's normal.
But, how often do you work side by side with a terrorist? If you worked with Ayers, you would know about his involvement as a terrorist. Would you go to your job every day and just ignore a terrorist? Or instead of ignoring him, have friendly conversation with this person. And then have this terrorist host a political fundraiser for you?
Democrats, are you listening? I know you're not.
Bill Ayers' past was known by Barack Obama when they became friends and Obama started to work for him. At the time, Bill Ayers was a pretty famous man. Ayers' wife was well known also.
Why ask Obama supporters to explain anything, you cited the Sun-Times, here is what they wrote:
Ayers and Obama both served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based charity that focuses on developing community groups to assist the poor. A variety of business executives, journalists and academics serve on the board.

McCain, the Leader America Deserves!
America deserves the best, but apparently you think we deserve a right wing radical. I am voting for Obama because he is not McCain and a whole lot of people feel the same way.

Barack Obama is enjoying his fifteen minutes + of frame.
He's not going to win anything. Next convention, he will be sitting with John Kerry.

"An issue certainly Republicans will be raising" should Obama be the Democratic nominee for president, Obama rival Hillary Clinton said.
Ayers, 63, spent 10 years as a fugitive in the 1970s when he was part of the "Weather Underground." (The FBI labeled a "domestic terrorist group.")

In the mid-1990s, Ayers and Dohrn hosted a meet-and-greet at their house to introduce Obama to their neighbors.

Barack Hussein Obama refers to radical Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers as "just a neighbor." As it turns out, Obama’s ties to Ayers have much deeper roots then just the guy next door.
Obama used to run a foundation called “The Annenberg Challenge on Excellence” – founded by William Ayers.
YOur anger, fear, and ignorance are ruling your existence.
I find this entire embrace our "first black president" and don't call him muslim or blame him for his family full of 1/2 sibilings based on his fathers actions most interesting....
his father was black/momma white. Raised by wealthy white people in Hawaii (grandparents), lived a white existance in "paradise" but claims to have suffered like some poor kid praying for heating oil in the ghetto in Chicago during the dead of winter...but now lays no claims to being anything but black.
On the other hand, has a butt load of 1/2 sibilings living in other countries in squallor and poverty with middle name Hussian, hangs out with known terrorist, and a "reverand" that spews hate and violence against white people, but does not want to be attached to them even tho this is where he has DECIDED to aligin himself with since adulthood????? His choice.
So those that have annointed him the "choosen one" do so because he is black. If you check his dance card folks, you would find him much more qualified to be called a risk to this country and nation based on his friends/actions as an adult than you would black because of his daddy's knocking up his momma before he ran off leaving Barry to be raised as a poor little white boy in Hawaii. Yet he clings to the one thing in his life he had NO control of and wants to be identified by them, but wants to be overlooked for those choices he has made and given a free pass without question...and you are picking on me because I am black is the excuse we are to accept for his poor choices of actions/friends/mentors/business dealings as an adult and you are pulling the race card when these crediable questions are being asked????
Thank you! You put into words exactly what I was thinking. I dont expect any of the followers to respond to you with anything but attacks and hate though. Interesting how he nor his followers will have a direct conversaton about these facts.
Obama is a lawyer and a politician, not a private investigator. I think most people would be filing for bankruptcy if they had to hire a private investigator to do a background check on every person within a 10 mile radius.
I can assure you, there are much creepier people than Ayers who live on my street, I'd hate to be considered responsible for their actions because they are 'my neighbors'.
