George said, “That is an excellent question” and then he used almost exactly that question. Hannity asked George if he was “going to ask him about Ayers”.

Hannity’s number two. Its only fair to give credit appropriately. Steve is not a local host. He’s been in the business for decades and at a time was number one on WABC. His current show is in syndication.

Some day, Sean will be called a “local host”.

It is time to answer the question Sean…

The answer is, because Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dorne are something like royalty to the elite liberal Hyde Park set, to which Barack Obama so desperately wants to belong. Obama needed the support of these unreconstructed leftists in order to run for Illinois State Senate and again when he ran for the US Senate. Kissing the ring of Bill Ayers is a necessary step in gaining this support.

It is ridiculous to suggest that Barack Obama was unaware of this. Bill Ayers is famous for his association with the Weather Underground and has parlayed that association into a lucrative life as the icon of the radical elites. Absent the influence he has with these people, influence that is entirely dependent on his terrorist past, Ayers would just be another English professor and Obama would not give him the time of day.

The damaging thing about this association is that it shows that Obama seeks and receives the support of the most radical elements of society, and that these people are his political base, and will be first in line for political favors. Barack Obama is from Chicago, where political favors are akin to a Holy Obligation. Just as with Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama knew exactly who he was jumping into bed with, and it is dishonest in the extreme to pretend otherwise now.

He did not care then, and he does not care now, because his is an elitist. He accepts the radicalism of his associates because he is “down for the struggle”, but he thinks the mass of Americans are just too stupid, too bitter, or too blinded by the things to which they cling to understand and accept his radical friends. So he lies about knowing them, and expects us to take his word for it.

Sean has done an excellent job framing the question. Now it is time to give the answer, and in giving it, reinforce the accurate perception that Barack Obama is a radical elitist, and hopelessly out of touch with ordinary Americans.

Good heavens. This is just unbelievable. These are the choices the Democrats are offering.

The democrats of today would never vote up to be the nominee someone like Joe Lieberman.

This is today’s democrat party.

And here I was thinking that America wouldn’t vote for McCain.
It’s going to be a long 6 months …

I’ve been watching John Adams. Are men like that completely extinct?

Update: Wait ’til the left sees this. Wear a helmet, George.

Oh, dear. Another partisan Democrat and former Dem administration staffer puts his life at risk by speaking some minor truth.

Note that the history departments of our sorry university system are routinely cited as the worst of the bad in terms of the % of radical leftists and partisan Democrats.

Right you are.

Orwell may have gotten the date wrong (1984), but the concepts he wrote about are becoming more and more true in the world around us.

As one example, note that any mention of the Republican Debate originally planned for February 28, 2008 (but cancelled by CNN because they considered McCain the “presumptive nominee”) has now been erased from wikipedia.

Original, historical primary source documents are disappearing from the National Archives. Why? Some people don’t want you to know the truth about this country’s Christian Heritage.

You’re part of the “Ultra-Right” and Obama wants to marginalize you, ostracize you, and defeat you.

If you don’t believe Obama is a Communist, compare his “A MORE PERFECT UNION” speech to the Preamble of the Communist Constitution.

The problem is, both Clinton and McCain also appear to be Communists…they just do a better job of disguising it and appearing more mainstream.

Bingo!!!

Excellent job understanding how to parse what comes out of the mouth of a Democrat (whether it be Obama or either one of the Clintons)

I mean, you can either play the “the company I keep is irrelevant” card, or the “she started it, mom!” card, and I think he just picked the wrong card.

He’s got a lot more to lose by agreeing that it’s legitimate to attack an opponent with someone else’s skeletons.

I can’t stand them both but Obama was ambushed by ABC working for the Clintons.

The netroots goes ballistic and demand the President Barack pull ABC’s license! When did I know that they would go ballistic? When Obama was asked about William Ayers, and he made it sound like he was just being neighborly. The Debate: A Sham…

If anyone should be really bothered by last night’s Democratic debate it’s Senator Tom Coburn. In a question about his relationship with former Weather Underground member William Ayers Sen. Barack Obama dodged by talking about Coburn&#8217…

Guess the visit to Abramoff’s law firm got out.

Congrats to ABC which did a very good, honest job.

And a bulletproof vest. You know how peaceful those pacifists are.
