I don't understand how Bill Ayers, the 70s political activist, giving $200 to the Obama campaign and the both of them serving on the same board make Obama a terrorist! (Did you know Ayers is a respected professor now? He was a "child of the 60s and 70s" when Obama was just a child!)
Please read this link and see if the information doesn't help you with this controversy:http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/02/obamas_weatherman_connection.html
I'd like to know what you think? Especially where something to the effect that if I work on a worthwhile committee and later find out that criminals worked on it too, does that mean I'm a criminal by association? Oh my goodness - how narrow-minded can we be?

Obama likes to say that he was 8 years old when Ayers was trying to bomb the Pentagon. That wasn't the end of the story, though. Ayers hasn't changed since then. He has said that he wished he'd done more bombing and he has said that he hates America. It's not smart to have any kind of relationship with someone like that. As to a "respected" professor, respect may be in the eye of the beholder - certainly not mine.
How narrow minded can we be? A lot more than this. What's wrong with a little caution? It's our safety and nation that's at stake.

So I take it you're voting for the gambling womanizer who graduated fifth from last in his military class? Wow - our nation would be in great hands then! Ha! No wonder the rest of the world feels sorry for America! Three cheers for President Palin! (We're doomed!)

Did you even read the link? You missed the point and used this discussion only inflict others with your political views.
