Sarah Palin called him a terrorist, Barack Obama called him an acquaintance. A Salon editor who knew Ayers back when talks to the ex-Weather Underground member turned Republican talking point.

    It was Farrakhan who called Obama “The Messiah”.

    bungo pony and others,

    It was Farrakhan who called Obama “The Messiah”. If you did not know about that is because you read, watch and read only the liberal media that was in the tank with Obama.

    And the episode about the nails bomb is very relevant to whom Ayers is: a terrorist and a wanna be murderer.

    Now Shapiro did not ask him about that because Shapiro wanted to present mellow and nostalgic Ayers who has become a “distinguished professor” and a friend of The Messiah.

    My point is that people tend to associate with, be friends with other people that are likewise minded.

    Obama had too many “associations” that are questionable.
