What is it with you people and your need to lie (excuse me, mislead) in your thread titles? Not just you, but the paper's headline, too. Fascinating.
Are you afraid people wouldnt read your thread if you didnt lure them in with a misleading headline? Is that what you're used to from the papers and websites you are comfortable looking at, I mean reading?
And Obama is close friends with this man, the man who got him started running for this office, one of his mentors, one of his fellow board members.
Wow, when will people see this?
Time to wake up America.
Another avid reader.
"In Ayers's new memoir, Fugitive Days, he reconciles his militant past with his present identity: father of three, esteemed professor at UIC—and unabashed patron of the great bourgeois coffee chain, Starbucks."

I hope they wake up too, before it is too late. Obama gets elected with a Democrat Congress, America will be doomed. He'll get a free hand and a blank check to do anything he likes.

It IS scary. He could start a stupid, unnecessary war. Or run up the biggest budget deficit in history. Or stand idly by while the entire U.S. economy is run into the ground. Or have the government take over the financial markets. Or screw up the recovery from the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history.
Well, I find I actually have to agree with you. It is a very interesting read, something of an 'only in America' story. Both Mr. Ayers and his wife were willing (and she did) to pay their debt to society, and turned themselves in to do so.
Since that time neither has been suspected of nor convicted of any other crime, despite, I am sure, being watched constantly by the FBI and other authorities.
They have organized a philanthropic organization that has donated money to many worthy causes and they have successfully raised three children.
As a Christian, this seems like a classic story of redemption to me although I guess you would have us all suffer our entire lives for our youthful indiscretions.
Thank God that you will not be the one manning the gates when the day of judgment comes.
In the words of the Lord:
"If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple." (Luke 14:26)
Let's see - the right wing here at CD has trotted out the Illinois statute about abortions and the Bill Ayers straw man again. And they even brought back the stuff about Obama trying to keep radio stations from airing advertising (because it's illegal advertising, but they never seem to mention that part).
Don't you guys have anything new?
