I don’t think the video says ACORN was founded by Ayers... I think it says that ACORN and Weather Underground were both formed out of SDS...

Correct. Ayers and Rathke were SDS members together. Ayers former WUO in 1968, Rathke formed ACORN in 1970. Both groups are breakaways from Students for a Democratic Society.

Ayers and Obama helped finance ACORN together at the Annenberg Challenge, then again at the Woods Fund.

Klonsky, another SDS'er, received Annenberg grants from Obama/Ayers for a different project, the Small Schools Workshop (which was also created by Ayers; Klonsky was pulled from his job as a cab driver to run Small Schools).

Also, until very recently, Klonsky ran a blog on Obama's official website until the campaign scrubbed it.

One big happy Hyde Park family.

Do we know if anyone has screenshots of this? I'd love to see that 'blog.'

You’re never going to escape the “lengthy” tag, btw. I prefer to describe them as “epic”.

Thank you for all your efforts.

However, in 1992 Obama and Michelle founded Public Allies which was the merger of the Black Liberation Army and the radical leftists including Bill Ayers. Note Obama never talks about Public Allies.
