Daley on Obama and Ayers: 'They're friends. So what?'
The Chicago Tribune's John Kass jumps on the story of Stanley Kurtz, the library at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and 132 boxes full of documents pertaining to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge - the project that Bill Ayers founded and Barack Obama chaired.
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley offers his non-answer on whether the library, named after his father, should release the documents:
"Bill Ayers—I've said this—his father was a great friend of my father," the mayor said. "I'll be very frank. Vietnam divided families, divided people. It was a terrible time of our country. People didn't know one another. Since then, I'll be very frank, [Ayers] has been in the forefront of a lot of education issues and helping us in public schools and things like that."
The mayor expressed his frustrations with outside agitators like Kurtz.
"People keep trying to align himself with Barack Obama," Daley said. "It's really unfortunate. They're friends. So what? People do make mistakes in the past. You move on. This is a new century, a new time. He reflects back and he's been making a strong contribution to our community."
Completely unmentioned is whether documents held at a state-run university's library, about a project to reform and improve public school systems, relating to a public figure who wants to be the next president, can be withheld from the public's eyes.
Also note that Daley says that "people do make mistakes in the past," although William Ayers has never expressed regret for setting bombs in places like the U.S. Capitol and women's bathrooms in the Pentagon.
That's just it, dufus. Ayers is unrepentant over his murderous past and does not think it a mistake. He said he didn't do enough in the way of bombings. THAT is the issue.
Exactly! This "mistake" goes to core character - and he still doesn't think he did anything wrong.
How many anarchists, Communists, terrorists, and Black Supremacists does The One need to hang around throughout his entire life before people understand that he is one of them?
And his counterattacks on McCain are pitiful - so McCain doesn't know how many houses his wife owns. So what? The One doesn't know how many states are in the US and no one outside of conservative bloggers cares about that gaffe.
I hope McCain's ad on this starts voters opening their eyes on this dangerous man that could possibly become President.
I guess you could say that about Osama too, then.
It yields a very specific guage of just exactly how far left the Democrat party has moved since 1968.
Ritchie should know.
So will *anyone* ever ask Ayers, now that the Statute of Limitations is expired, if he or other members of his Weather Underground were involved in the still-unsolved shooting and mugging of Senator Stennis, circa 1973?
It’s here already. I had someone on another forum say I’d rather know how his mind ticks than when someone thinks a baby is viable. Am working on the response now.
So what? This ad says "So what"!!!
Is there no depth to which Dimocraps will descend?
His wife declared war against the USA on behalf of the Weathemen who then carried out their threats by bombing this country. Ayers, like all the Weathermen, should have been tried for treason and put in front of a firing squad.
Daley thinks himself to be invincible. In fact, isn’t that the delusion of most Democrats?

If that's the case Mayor, then why are you blocking access to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge papers at the University of Illinois at Chicago?
That 15th hole with the bomb craters on the Tora Bora course is tough, isn't it?
“Obama and Satan? They’re friends, so what.”
“Obama and Stalin? They’re friends, so what?”
“Obama and Bin Laden? They’re friends, so what?”
“Obama and Pol Pot? They’re friends, so what?”
It’s not the craters that’s tough but the remaining bones and skeletons that get in the way of the putts.
Tell ‘em that it’s pretty obvious “how his mind ticks” -
he has core values that must be hidden, that’s why he won’t answer,
and that simply reveals that his core value are detestable to the majority of people.
The evidence on the infanticide issue has already become undeniable.
Sean Hannity’s been playing the audio tapes. This issue got hot on H&C tonight.
