Ayers radical ties are not ancient history

Our friends at Investors Business Daily have written another excellent editorial for your consideration. It destroys the Obama campaign's latest defense of that candidate's connection to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Obama and co. would have you believe that Ayers' past doesn't matter because when Ayers was bombing federal buildings Obama was but a lad. Well that's happy horseshit because Ayers has never repented or denounce what he did in the 60s and 70s and besides he's still a radical:

That Ayers' totalitarian revolutionary agenda isn't history is shown by Ayers today sitting on the directorate of the Miranda International Center, a think tank funded by the Venezuelan government of Hugo Chavez, unofficially a state sponsor of terror that just last weekend was found to be hosting terror training camps with Cuban and FARC operatives to attack its neighbors. Ayers is both a hero and adviser to Hugo Chavez and a colleague of Obama's.

A brief resume of Ayers on the Venezuelan government site describes him as "the leader of the revolutionary and anti-imperialist group The Weather Underground which initiated struggle against the government of the USA," which it calls "the empire."

Ayers is also described as having "developed courses around the urban reform (and) problems of capitalist education." That refers to Ayers' joint involvement with Obama in the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a school "reform" project Ayers used to insert a radical socialist curriculum into the Windy City's public schools.
