Never - ever - have I heard more a vacuous, vapid response to a question from a major candidate for public office:

Please, people. Please. You cannot put this bimbo in the White House.

<<I am so tired of every conservative bringing up Ayers as a convicted terrorist! First of all, Ayers was NEVER convicted, Second, Obama was nine years old when Ayers was active,>>
You are correct.
<<LOL, whatever are you talking about? Ayers is not a terrorist, or he would be in jail! When Ayers was active with the Weathermen, Obama was nine years old. The same groups they are in? The only "groups" they have been in,

It is easy to grasp how the Republican party seems to have been overtaken by extremists.

Only in the olfactory sense of the word. But even that's not strictly true, either, since you actually told antineocon you had "proof" (your words).
A few satellite photos of trucks at a compound and a pile of Sean Inanity's fever-dreams don't actually add up to "evidence," you know. But keep trying; maybe you'll get there someday.
I don't think anyone's losing sleep over it, either....but it - along with the Parsley one - will be a nice one-or-two-sentence way to simply dispose of the whole "Rev. Wright" crap, if (when) McCain re-dredges THAT up (because he's got nothing left to run on.
More to the point, though, is reflecting back upon the great(ly silly) rhetorical lengths to deny that anyone could prove (and therefore couldn't conclude) that McCain had indeed sought out Hagee's endorsement. It was true, of course....but that didn't stop you from trying to deny that fact until it could no longer be denied.
Like I said: BWAHAHAHAHA. :D

The salient point about Obama's association with Ayers is that, during the time that Ayers committed what Obama has later (and repeatedly) described as "detestable acts," Obama was 8 and 9 years old. And, when they met as adults, many years later, Ayers' radical activist past was already many years behind him. You can say what you like about "he's never repented, said he didn't do enough," etc....but the facts are that he HASN'T done anything like that in years, and if the police thought he was a terrorist and/or dangerous today, he'd be in jail for those crimes. The G. Gordon Liddy analogy is 100% on-target as a comparison, because Liddy - like Ayers - never repented (in fact insists he is proud of) not only his crimes, but his having shut up and taken other secrets to jail with him, instead of testifying against others who were also plotting to disrupt the process of America's democracy (among other things).
(once again, Digby cuts right to the core of it:
She goes on at some length (worth reading) about other things, including an academic study of political attitudes over the years, which resulted in data which showed a marked upswing among the general population in attitudes consistent with both authoritarianism andindividualized, atomized, "rage-filled" anomie, at once both more puritanical and more nihilistic. Digby goes on to mention that:
Indeed, sadly.
