Bill Ayers talks back

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.

    Could you tell me what you know about Obama?

    “bungo pony

    Hey, Republicans - YOU LOST! YOU LOST! YOU LOST!”

    Could you stop the childish rant?

    If the so called Messiah proves to be what many are afraid he is you will find yourself in a place you would not want to be.

    And this is precisely where the liberal media and articles like this have failed miserably: we do not know who the real Obama is.

    Could you tell me what you know about him, his accomplishments, his shortcomings, his graduation thesis, what hospital he was born in, whether he was an Indonesian citizen, whether he had a foreign passport, what he did in Pakistan, etc., etc.?
