Lets check those facts of yours again.

You are still getting spoon fed propaganda. The Ayers link is so weak you?re embarrassing
yourself and ruining any credibility you have.
"Obama was 8. No he was 11". Come on man. Lets work that Muslim school stuff or his drug
use. That at least is a first hand issue and not guilt by simple association.
Sure hope you dont make a living as an attorney.
Do you have a bomb shelter in your back yard and a tin foil hat collection as well ?</blockquote>
Bltserv-
Not atypical for a liberal to attack someone personally for simply presenting facts without, of course, facts of their own. Dispute it all you want, call Winex and whomever else a racist for questioning another man's judgment, call the Republicans as many bad names as you want, do whatever makes you feel good to publicize your own ignorance - it matters little unless you've got the facts to support your position. Facts are not propoganda - they are facts, they are stubborn things.
So here are the facts:
William Ayers is/was a member of the Weather Underground. Ayers bombed the United States Capitol. Ayers never apologized and to this day is "proud" of his terrorist past. This is a quote from Ayers "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." Ayers' father is a wealthy and well connected former executive of energy corporation Exelon. Ayers' father is good friends with the Daleys - of Chicago politcal fame.
Mr. Obama served on the Board of the Woods Fund of Chicago with Ayers with full knowledge he was a terrorist - see quote above. Ayers is now a professor at the University of Illinois. A recent journalists request to review the Woods Fund documents stored at the Univ. of Illinois' library - Ayers' employer - was denied by Ayers' father's friend, Mayor Daley. After several days and non-main stream media (read conservative media) uproar, access was recently granted. It remains unknown whether documents were destroyed. Upon entering politics, Ayers was a key advisor to Mr. Obama. Mr. Obama actually launched is first campaign from Ayers' apartment. There are reports that he planned his campaign from Ayers' house.
Question for you - are we (we being Americans - not Republicans/conservatives/racists/etc..) not allowed to question why Barack Obama would associate with a known, unrepentant terrorist? Should we not ask why he does not come clean about the details of their association? Should we not ask why he underplays their relationship? In 40 years, should Osama Bin Laden teach at Oxford and lead a model life - should we not still feel ill towards him?
These are the facts. Please let me know if these are illegitimate questions. To the extent possible, please avoid the personal attacks and respond with facts of your own to counter or refute the ones I presented. If you cannot, please admit that you treated Winex unfairly, that you did not know the extent of the relationship between Mr. Obama and Ayers and that as a defense mechanism - you insulted Winex, calling him a racist and that you were wrong. Thanks.
