"Which makes it better or different that Obama is consorting with a known, admitted terrorist how?" He is hardly a terrorist. He is an influential member of Chicago's political system. Anybody who wants to be anyone in Chicago has had dealings with the man. Obama is hardly unique. Ayers has distanced himself from the Weathermen a long time ago. He probably could have done a better job about distancing himself from his own activities and he is still unapologetic about his opposition to the war. He has shown no indication of wanting to plant bombs and has been, by all indications, an upstanding citizen for decades. Israel was led for many years by admitted, known terrorists. Ones who actually killed people and never, ever indicated that it was wrong. I have never seen you complain about that. So you clearly believe that it is possible to get beyond an association with terrorism.

It isn't a good comparison. Ayers father was very influential in Chicago. He was CEO of Commonwealth Edison and a well-known philanthropist. When Bill had the charges dropped, he pulled his son into the center of politics and influence in Chicago. Which makes it better or different that Obama is consorting with a known, admitted terrorist how? Of course it is an excellent comparison, which is the reason I borrowed it. Once again, rather than addressing the issue, you attempt to change the subject. Mr. Extreme.......Ayers is not a terrorist except in your rather weakly lit mind. In fact, you are making a fool of yourself by continuing to suggest it. Like I've said to you before, you may be a big, smart fish in pine bluff but you're barely a mentally challenged guppy in the rest of the real world.
