Quote:

Ain't Obama's fault that Weatherjerks like Mark Rudd, Bernadine Dohrn, and Bill Ayers were essentially given a free pass by the criminal justice justice in the late 70s, back when Obama was still in high school.




No one says it is.

The criticism is that he chose to launch his first race for elective office in Ayers' living room, and didn't repudiate him after Ayers said "I don't regret setting bombs" and that he and the Weathermen "didn't do enough."


I also get a kick out of Obama's attempt to deny it during the third debate:


McCain: Well, again, while you were on the board of the Woods Foundation, you and Mr. Ayers, together, you sent $230,000 to ACORN. So -- and you launched your political campaign in Mr. Ayers' living room.

Obama: That's absolutely not true.
