Thank you. Exactly! Ayers never hurt anyone and all charges against him were dropped.

Doesn't anyone remember Abbie Hoffman? That guy was a hero during the sixties. If it were not for the people like him and Ayers, that realized that the Viet Nam War had to be brought here to show the horrors of it, it probably would have gone on for much longer.

Details on the Ayers-Obama school reform:

Chosen to receive a grant:
The South Shore African Village Collaborative for their "Celebrate African-American Holiday of Juneteenth" (celebrating the Emancipation Proclamation). Some African-Americans celebrate Juneteenth instead of the Fourth of July (a report fromTexas).

Turned down to receive a grant:
*The Chicago Algebra Project: goal to increase student achievement

*The District 5 Math Initiative: goal to aid Hispanic students in the process of learning English, to further learn math and science.

You demos have really lost it now. you are on here stating it is okay to blow chit up when you disagree with something? Are you listening to yourselves!?!? So, if I disagree with something, this is how I should handle it.

LISTEN TO YOURSELVES SPEAK! "oh, it was a vietnam war protest, he had a right to kill and blow things and people up." You people have seriously lost it! You are as anti-American as they come by. NUTS!

Did you read what I posted? Ayers' actions never hurt or killed anyone. If it were not for his actions, the Viet Nam War would have dragged on forever. McCain bombed innocent people in Viet Nam. He is the terrorist! How old are you? It is obvious that you were not around for The Viet Nam War, when we had real news coverage and we were able to see the horrors!

This is right up there with nuts blowing up abortion clinics.
Bet you are not fond of them, huh??
Any time someone fights violence with violence it is wrong.
Abbie Hoffam is no hero, neither is Ayers and neither is Obama.

All of this needs to be blown wide open and Obama's feet need to be held to the fire.

Tell that to Brian V. McDonnell, a police sergeants family.
