There’s a question worth asking

“However, if Barack Obama wants to have a discussion about truly questionable associations, let’s start with his relationship with the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, at whose home Obama’s political career was reportedly launched. Mr. Ayers was a leader of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group responsible for countless bombings against targets including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and numerous police stations, courthouses and banks. In recent years, Mr. Ayers has stated, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs … I feel we didn’t do enough.’
There’s an undeniable joy in seeing this particular bit of excrement hit the fan. I can still recall my grandfather, an FDR man to the core, utterly enraged over the WU antics. Being about 7 or 8, I had not Clue Numero Uno what he was on about, but it was not happy-time with him over the bomb-throwing pinkos. He was right, of course, and he’d be sick to death about Barry and his buds being the Lead Donkies.
I never could convince him, in later years, that FDR was the main enabler for the filthy hippies, but he lived through the Depression and I didn’t, so he trumped me pretty handily. I still owe that man a lot for what he taught me.
