I caught about 20 minutes of this yesterday while i was in the car... very interesting. the thing that occurs to me are obviously the parallels to today's situation with the iraq war - and not to defend anything that Ayers did in the 60s/70s...

I was on the metro this morning and saw a man reading the WSJ and on the opinion page was the following title "Obama and Ayers Pushed Radicalism on Schools." I did a little inward happy dance, and rushed off to work to download the article.
Some of you may remember that amid the Palin witch hunt a few weeks ago, the group that Obama was chair of and Ayers (a known domestic terrorist, if memory so fails you) was a board member - the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) made public their private archives.

Back in February, the Washington Post reported in a fact check, But the Obama-Ayers link is a tenuous one.(Washington Post, 2/18/08)
As part of a larger project where I'm compiling a long list of all the lies and smears spread about Obama, here are 30 lies about Ayers and Obama.
Tonight's Hannity's America featured more of these absurd lies about Obama and Ayers in Hannity's infomercial for idiocy, including an amazing interview with legendary anti-Semitic crackpot Andy Martin:
LIE: "My view is that the community organizer was really a sham event. Bill Ayers was testing him."(Andy Martin, Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism")
TRUTH: Bill Ayers had nothing to do with Obama's community organizing job.

Imagine if, as you chat with your child's first-grade teacher and ask about how he decided to embark on a career in education, he told you, "I walked out of jail and into my first teaching job."
Imagine him furthermore telling you that his days in jail and violent protesting were formative to his teaching philosophy.
Most parents would have a serious discussion with the principal, at the minimum.

Obama, the Mortal
By Charles Krauthammer (Washington Post)
What happened to President Obama? His wax wings having melted, he is the man who fell to earth. What happened to bring his popularity down further than that of any new president in polling history save Gerald Ford (post-Nixon pardon)?

Early this morning, the Obama family voted at the Beulah Shoesmith Elementary School, in Hyde Park. Long after they had gone, the lawn in front of the school was filled with reporters, mostly Europeans, filming voters. While I was talking to an eight-year-old kid dressed as George Washington, my colleague Peter Slevin, of the Washington Post was across the street, knocking on the door of someone else who had voted at the Shoesmith School this morning: William Ayers.

Hey, everyone. :wave: I hope you're having a lovely holiday weekend. :cocktail: I wanted to mention if for some reason I miss a day or many days from posting the other parts, it's due to the hurricane, and the fact we either evacuated or we have no power.
