Is the argument that Bill Ayers does not regret his crimes, Obama was friendly with Ayers in the past and has not adequately found Jesus about it, and therefore Obama is by association guilty of the Weathermen’s crimes and therefore we should work to make Obama fail? Remind me what the point is again and how the Weathermen are at all relevant to the problems we face today. Does their existence de-legitimize our president? Is he even “our” president at all? Who is BHO anyway, that’s what I’d like to know.

And why was Douglas Haig so blockheaded and stubborn? The Battle of the Somme was a rather thick one, old boy.

Ayers is perfectly representative of a type of radical, hate-filled radicalism that Locker (whose comment started this whole chain) noted as being happily absent from the left but distressingly prevalent on the right.

Obama’s association with Ayers is not as much an indictment of Obama as it is of the entire structure of the Left in the united states. Bomb-tosser, unrepentant, proud of it, in fact - and firmly in the establishment.

Don’t give a damn about Ayers finding Jesus as you put it. The term drips with sneering condescension even to these Semitic ears.

The Weathermen are relevant to where we are today because they have become part of the establishment. Do you understand that? Do you comprehend or grasp the significance of the radicalism that is at the core of much of the mainstream left in the united states? This is very relevant.

Obama’s the president. Who he is in terms of his ideology and background is known, more or less, but what effect that has on his actions is unknown.
