A CNN investigative report shows the Ayers connection is a problem and that Obama lied about how well he knew him. Stanley Kurtz is interviewed in the piece (YouTube). The 2001 "No Regrets" Bill Ayers Obama wants you to forget about (Chicago Magazine).
The GOP lays out the strong relationship (GOP). Obama people are now claiming he didn't know Ayer's past, prompting Palin to say "Wait a minute. He didn't know a few months ago that he had launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist?" (NY Post). Stanly Kurtz was on with Hugh Hewitt yesterday, explaining "it's awful hard to believe that Obama didn't know, and for a few reasons.
Obama was a big fan of the 60s, as he tells us in his writings. He kind of felt nostalgic and sad that he couldn't have been around back then. And when he was at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, he was surrounded by people who knew Bill Ayers, and who frankly idolized Bill Ayers because of Ayers' radicalism, because Ayers was the leader of a school of thought in education theory that proudly believed in politicizing the classroom. It's hard to believe that Obama could have hung out with all these people in Hyde Park and at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and who knew that he worked where Ayers worked, and not have somehow heard what was going on" (Townhall).
And suddenly Obama fundraiser Tony Rezko is back in the picture and may be "ready to spill his political secrets" (FOX News). From Frank Gaffney: The problem for Barack Obama is that convicted - and unrepentant - terrorist William Ayers is not the only person with a profound animosity toward this country with whom he has "palled around" since his youth. It is not, as the Democratic candidate maintains, a distraction or a sign of desperation on the part of his opponents that serious questions are finally being asked about the nature and the implications of the judgment he has exhibited in the past - and may exhibit in the future - as evidenced by his myriad and profoundly troubling personal ties. That is especially the case since so little is known about the junior senator from Illinois and what he really means by "change." Gaffney then looks at several other questionable characters close to Obama (Washington Times).
