repeats or advocates any views of Ayers or Wright,

I'm pretty sure that Obama will repeat and advocate some of the views of Ayers and Wright. Both Ayers and Wright seem to do some good currently. The fact that they hold some nutty ideas does not nullify that.

Wright is simply a hooligan, but Ayers is by his own admission guilty as hell and free as a bird.

At this point, I am more interested in why the University of Illinois is paying the man than I am in any relationship he might or might not have with Obama. It's clear to me where the election is going and that Obama does not hold the 'nutty' (as he puts it) views that Ayers has.

I remember The Weathermen conspiracy very well, and I do not forgive them.

writes prolifically

What writing exists other than those two possibly ghost written memoirs?

There has been no legal scholarship published anywhere, which is astonishing considering his time at Harvard Law Review and lawprof at U. of Chicago. What happened to publish or perish?

We can't even read his dissertation from Columbia, it's disappeared from the archives. What do we really know about this guy? There is no paper trail.
