Bill Ayers Speaks…Plans on Attending Grant Park Obama Party
The Washington Compost ^ | 11-04-08 | Peter Slevin

CHICAGO -- In his first interview since he became an issue in the 2008 presidential campaign, Bill Ayers, the former Weather Underground leader, said today that he had a distant relationship with Barack Obama and that Obama's opponents had turned him into "a cartoon character."

Ayers, now an education professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago, said he thought the accusation by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin that Obama had been "palling around with terrorists" was absurd.

"Pal around together? What does that mean? Share a milkshake with two straws?"Ayers said. "I think my relationship with Obama was probably like thousands of others in Chicago. And, like millions and millions of others, I wish I knew him better."

This terrorist should have gotten the death penalty for what he did 30 years ago.

Oh God.

Amen.

Jeremiah Wright will be providing the invocation, Louis Farakkhan and the Nation of Islam will be providing security detail, and William Ayers will be putting on the fireworks display.

Welcome to a new world.

Pray.
