Whaddya know, Ayers and Obama were tight after all *snort*.
“We had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fund-raiser at my house, where I’d made a small donation to his earliest political campaign,” he writes.
Belated confirmation of something some of us already knew; Obama lied about his relationship with Ayers. Fan-tastic.
UPDATE – Just in case you thought Ayers had changed his mind about his past activities.
“What you call the violent past, that was a time when thousands of people were being murdered every month by our own government. … We were on the right side,” he told “GMA.”
The co-founder of the Weather Underground was, as McCain has claimed, unrepentant about the the bombings his group committed during the 1960s.
“The content of the Vietnam protest is that there were despicable acts going on, but the despicable acts were being done by our government. … I never hurt or killed anyone,” Ayers said.
“Frankly, I don’t think we did enough, just as today I don’t think we’ve done enough to stop these wars,” he said.
Yep, you never hurt or killed anyone. Except for those three people you killed. And yes, directing others to hurt and/or kill people makes you culpable in both the moral and legal sense.

Here is the whole sentence in the forward of Bill Ayers book:
“In 2008 there was a lot of CHATTER ON THE BLOGOSPHERE about my relationship with Barack Obama: we had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fundraiser at my house, where I’d made a small donation to his earliest political campaign.”
What part of that says he is indeed “family friends” with Obama? HE IS SAYING the BLOGOSHPHERE said these things about him.
I swear.. the comprehension of you people is as bad as Sarah Palin and the 1st amendment.
