Billy Ayers is Planting Bombs
Posted by: Todd MacLeod - Category: Bill Ayers and Barack Obama, Presidential Politics
The American Issues Project has released an ad highlighting the past activities of the Weather Underground and Bill Ayers. It is starting to make its way around the blogosphere. Why would a Presidential Candidate not absolutely refute this man and his past deeds?

It’s a good Ad but too vague. They need to include the Major Point; that Ayers and his father HIRED Obama as the first Director of their Annenberg Challenge Project. I use the word “their” because both father and son worked to write the first grant for the CAC foundation. And, Ayers Sr. has an interesting relationship with Obama too, as well as strong ties to Major Daley. This ad raises questions, but doesn’t nail down the degree of closeness in their relationship. Obama’s people will just look at this one and claim..hey that’s just a guy that lived in my neighborhood and we sat on a board together for awhile–”I barely knew him”. Which is precisely how he got away with the first confrontation. Not enough specifics were provided to rip away his mask.
