Obama’s admission in a debate that he briefly served on “a board” with Ayers with little contact gets shot down. CNN followed up on Kurtz’ work with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and debunks that notion. They also — amazingly — report on the nature of the grants made by the CAC while Obama ran it to Ayers’ favored schools with radical agendas.
Griffin also tells a somewhat nonplussed Cooper that Obama has lied about his “coming out party” at the home of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in 1995. Obama has said that Alice Palmer arranged the fundraiser and the venue, but Griffin spoke to two people who attended the event, who claim Obama lied. Palmer had nothing to do with that event outside of being invited to it. Obama and Ayers planned the event themselves.
OK- so a guy (Ayers) became an anti war activist in his 20s (late 1960s) . Said guy was never prosecuted. Almost 30 years later he is a Distinguished Professor at a large University and participates actively in various grass roots education initiatives.
Another guy, who was in elementary school while the first guy was an active radical and is a young idealistic lawyer meets this first guy almost 30 years later when he is already an established intellectual and highly regarded educator. He works on some projects with this first guy. First guy supports his political endeavors by hosting a coffee meet & greet at his home.
And first guy has not been in trouble with the law since the 60s.

What's the problem?
Because, as late as 2000 or 2001, Ayers said that they should have done more bombings, and wish they would have killed more people.
Stop trying to blow this off by saying Obama was 8 years old when Ayers allegedly committed these crimes.
The fact that Obama decided to work with this known domestic terrorist, making statements such as the ones I listed above, as late as 2001, shows to the world that Obama either is connected with domestic terrorist, or doesn't care to examine the backgrounds of people he chooses to have relationships with.

Clearly you are just repeating what you've heard - with no real knowledge yourself - and possibly embellishing things as you see fit.
1) Ayers never killed anyone.
2) Ayers never said "should have done more bombings, and wish they would have killed more people" He said he wished he had of done more" (to end the war):"The one thing I don't regret is opposing the war in Vietnam with every ounce of my being.... When I say, 'We didn't do enough,' a lot of people rush to think, 'That must mean, "We didn't bomb enough (sh*t). But that's not the point at all. It's not a tactical statement, it's an obvious political and ethical statement. In this context, 'we' means 'everyone.'"
But I guess the truth is just a "technicality"
I'm not defending Ayers actions, but YOU shouldn't have to LIE or embellish to make your case if it's that strong.
The fact is, Ayers has lived a law-abiding life for almost 30 years and Obama's links to him are pretty weak in any event. He knows the guy and worked with him on a couple of committees - one that was focused on school reform (OH MY GOODNESS - THAT MAKES THEM TERRORISTS!!!!) and another of fighting poverty (HOW UNAMERICAN!!!!!!).
A smear...is that all you have left? Oh yeah, that is it...
