You're devoting a lot of time to Mr. Ayers here.
1) The election is over and your guy lost.
2) Apparently, #1 bears repeating: The election is over and your guy lost.
3) Ayers wasn't/isn't running for office. I'm not here to defend Ayers, but what do you hope to achieve by attacking him? Nobody is denying his past misdeeds. He did some really bad stuff. A long time ago. It's over. Done.
4) If it wasn't for the Right's frothing at the mouth over this washed-up terrorist, he'd just fade into the past. Why do you insist on keeping his legacy alive? - Ayers is more popular now than he's been in 30 years, thanks to the Right.
5) Do you honestly believe that Obama is guilty of every single thing that Ayers has done? Bear in mind that those are two (2) different people.
6) Also bear in mind that guilt-by-association is a game anyone can play. Here's an example - Why did John McCain give money to the Contras (a.k.a. terrorists) in Central America in the 1980's? John McCain must be a terrorist-lover!
Cheers.
