Bill Ayers, Barack Obama and Che Guevara

George recently posted a video showing longtime Barack Obama chum, Bill Ayers holding court with some Chavista socialists.

Now it should be noted that Obama has tried to whitewash Ayers past and present, claiming he is now mainstream. But in the video which was filmed just two years ago Ayers doesn't seem to regret any of his past as a leader in the terrorist Weather Underground that among other things bombed the U.S. Capitol Building.

Also note that Ayers seems comfortable under the gaze of one Ernest "Che" Guevara de la Serna. As we have documented here time and again Obama's ranks seem to include scores of Guevara-loving Marxists. I remember a Cuban-American acquaintance who supports Obama telling me that I was blowing the Maria Isabel incident out of proportion. Really? What if a Republican candidate had a few supporters who happened to hang pictures of murderers in their office?

Does the fact that Obama has Marxist supporters make him a Marxist? No, of course not. But his inability to distance himself from his "friends" is certainly troubling.
