pustulant rot in the American far left KLAN MONSTER! lol- I love exaggerated writing. There was some discussion of Ayers on Fox last night (the difference between coverage is really noticeable between CNN and Fox- I prefer CNN because I love watching John play with his results board). General sentiment on Fox is that the Ayers story has yet to fully emerge, has a ways to go, and could be more serious for Obama. Unless it turns out that they are close friends and Ayers is his political advisor, I don't see that a minimal relationship based on sharing boards and having a fundraiser some time ago is particularly meaningful. The whole acquaintance thing seems grossly inflated to me, but it's obvious that conservatives will make as much of it as they can. If they discover that Ayers and Obama have been sneaking out to meet every night, I will think harder about it.

Okay, in a nutshell this is the real problem that Obama has with the unrepentant ex-terrorist Bill Ayers. If this is all problem there is, then we can all skip the general election. It's Obama in a walk. This piece is it's own worst parody. Ayers is a reasonably complicated guy in his later incarnations. And there is zero evidence that Ayers' 68 views have anything to do with Obama's 2008 views. It's clear that Chicago's Mayor Daley shares enough of Ayers' 2008 views to include him on some planning committees. Time for nuance here. Beating the proverbial dead horse.
