Misguided?
The Press and the media are playing gleefully with the association Barack Obama had with William Ayers, almost as if it is a “gotcha”. Ayers was a former (1960’s) militant and member of the group “Weathermen”. This group engaged in some unlawful actions protesting our Governments policies, particularly the Vietnam War. The use of violence (other than when associated with the American Revolution) is always considered wrong, and so should the tactics of the Weathermen. Obama’s association was not in the 60’s but was in the 2000’s!
Hillary’s husband pardoned Marc Rich and his ex-wife, Denise, gave money to the Clinton library. John McCain accepted the endorsement of Pastor John Hagy, a cetified hate monger and “for profit” church leader. These associations when put in context with Obama’s past Ayers connection should make the media hang their heads in shame.
As with Rev Jerimiah Wright, Ayers and Wright are who they are and they will not play any role in an Obama Government. It is time to focus again on the big issues facing the country and which candidate will represent the best direction for the US.
