"Bossie says he is assembling material for TV spots about Obama's ties with Ayers, a Chicago professor and unrepentant former member of the Weather Underground, a group that bombed several government buildings [the Capitol building and the Pentagon] to protest the Vietnam War. The Ayers issue bounced around right-wing media for months, but it received broad exposure at last week's debate on ABC, when Obama was asked a question about their relationship. Obama, who lives near Ayers in Chicago's Hyde Park, attended an event at Ayers's house when Obama ran for the state Senate in 1995—and served on the board of a nonprofit with him for several years. "Obama is aware of the acts Ayers committed when he was 8 years old and has called them 'detestable'," says spokesman Ben LaBolt, adding that Obama occasionally bumps into Ayers in his neighborhood "but has not seen him for months."
Ok, let me get this straight. Ayers is an "urepentant" terrorist (he said "we didn't do enough and that he was guilty but free) and Obama is aware of these facts and yet Obama launched his political career from Ayers home and served on several boards with him.
I think you just swift boated (the term means to expose the lies of someone) youself Senator.
