Yes, in the same year Ayers picked Obama to chair his big education grant, he called himself a communist: And 2 years later he was Chicago Citizen of the Year! Maybe there is something to this communism business.

>Yes, in the same year Ayers picked Obama to chair his big education grant I'm not sure it really matters, but do you have any evidence that Ayers picked Obama? Ayers wasn't even on the board; he was on an advisory board. Do you know anything about boards? I do. I have one and I've served on a couple. -Z

Ayers 1995 says he's a communist (yr Obama picked to chair his grant) Yes, in the same year Ayers picked Obama to chair his big education grant, he called himself a communist: "In an interview published in 1995, Ayers characterized his political beliefs at that time and in the 1960s and 1970s: "I am a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist ... [Laughs] Maybe I'm the last communist who is willing to admit it. [Laughs] We have always been small 'c' communists in the sense that we were never in the [Communist] party and never Stalinists. The ethics of Communism still appeal to me. I don't like Lenin as much as the early Marx." Who cares? The dude is rebelling against his rich father. I met a lot of guys like that in college. They bore me to death. I am sure he lives in a fine house with all the trappings of an upper middle class existence.
