Andrew McCarthy

We are too hung up on the word terrorist. Yes, Ayers was a terrorist, but he's not anymore in the sense that he hasn't bombed anything in a long time. He is, however, and he has always been, a radical leftist revolutionary. Don't take my word for it -- he proudly says it himself, as I detailed in this post yesterday.

That was the ideology that drove him to bomb American targets, it is the ideology he has taken to America's classrooms (which are just a different front in the same war he has been raging against our society for 40 years), it is the ideology he has never hidden from anyone, and -- here's the point -- it is the ideology that drove his partnership with Barack Obama. That's the reason Obama is minimizing the relationship. Obama and Ayers worked well together -- happily funding the same communists, socialists, America haters, Israel haters, etc. -- because they were ideologically aligned. Obama is smoother and more marketable than Ayers, but ideologically they're coming from the same place: American society needs drastic change. And if you want to know the change Obama and Ayers have in mind, look at what they did at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Look at Obama's Chicago years, which explains why Ayers and Dohrn would host the launching of his political career from their living room. That's where Obama doesn't want to go -- because if voters look there, he's toast.

And democratic capitalism haters. For me it is this post that makes the case why the associations are important.

Oh, for Pete's sake. I thought we were done with this. You're transferring way too much of Ayers thoughts into Obama's head. If you want to know how Obama thinks, read his books. OK, don't bother with the policy book since you of course believe he's set forth palatable views while hiding his unpalatable views. But read the first one, and see if you can find any evidence of him being a crazy idealogue/revolutionary/radical like Ayers. He's just not. Do you realize how disappointed the far left is with him?! I'm disappointed, for example, that he's against gay marriage. Many are disappointed that he's not going to push for single-payer health care. On and on... he's been way too moderate and way too temperate for the taste of the far left.

Richard Quinn. McCain believes everything Richard Quinn does.

Dude, you are a f*ing broken record. Other than you, Rush and your boy Hannity, no one gives a sh*t about something that happened 40 years ago. Is Ayers running for President? If so, it would matter. He's not, so it doesn't. Did Obama build a bomb, throw a bomb? No, so it doesn't matter. The f*ing economy is going down the toliet and your obsession is this sh*t.
