First, Bill Ayres was involved with the Weathermen, not the far more violent Black Panthers.
OOO! So they were violent terrorist, but weren't really violent terrorist, which means they were not using really deadly bombs, only deadly bombs that killed Bill Ayers girl friend at the time. (she was killed while making bombs to kill others)
No one gives a rats butt about whether they were involved in the Black Panthers. That like saying I'd rather be killed in a soviet gulag, than a Moaist slaughter. Big whoopty freking do.
Second, a retiring IL senator took Obama (who was running for her seat) to a number of 'meet and greet' type parties to introduce him to party members. One of these was at Bill Ayres home. This is a far cry from launching his entire career from Ayres home.
It was his coming out. Yes he was politically motivated prior, but his first open gathering in which he publicly stated his intentions to run was there. The irrelevance of whether he launched hit entire career there is laughable. He was good enough friends that Terrorist Ayers offered his home as a political gathering, and Obama accepted it when offered. Nothing else makes the slightest difference in the world.
If Ted Kaczynski offered you his home for any frekin reason, would you accept it? It would be sick enough if Ted Kaczynski thought so highly of you, and felt your relationship was close enough to make the offer.
Here, let's really turn the screws. If an anti-abortionist murderer, who shot doctors and blew up clinics in the 60s, who said just a few years ago he only felt bad that he hadn't murdered enough doctors and blown up enough stuff, offered to host your first major fund raiser, would you accept it?
According to an Obama spokesman, the two men first met in 1995, when Obama was tapped to chair the board of the newly formed Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Ayers had been instrumental in creating the organization, which was to dispense grants for projects that would improve Chicago's schools.
Yeah, we've already covered that. Very little funds went to schools. Most went to special interest groups, liberal organizations, and shockingly, Obama and other politicians in contributions. Liberal corruption.
Obama and Ayers also were on the board of an antipoverty charity, the Woods Fund of Chicago, where their service overlapped from 2000 to 2002. And Ayers contributed $200 to Obama's campaign for the Illinois state Senate on March 2, 2001.
LOL Woods Fund went to antipoverty charity? Try $6,000 grant to Rev. J. Wright church of hate, despite the fact the Woods Fund charter says religious organizations are ineligible for grants. Try $355,000 to Acorn, one of the most left-wing voter fraud organizations in the US today. Try Obama's former boss at Neighborhood Rejuvenation Partners, where Obama promised $1 Million to the organization run by Allison S. Davis, who surprisingly returned $25,000 to Obama's Senate run. They invested $382K into Countrywide, and $327K into WALMART....
Now, where do you see help for poverty and charity? It's a typical liberal organization setup to help other liberals, and not much else.
