You never did answer my previous post, so I will repeat it again....


Did we not discuss this already on whether Obama was in Ayer's living room?

Hard to answer. i don't know any Distinguished Professors in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I don't know if I know anyone who was involved in subversive activities 30 years ago. I don't know anyone who founded the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a school reform effort to fund Chicago school educational programs. or who has served 10 years on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, an anti-poverty, philanthropic foundation established in 1941.

So the question isn't simple. It takes a complex issue and tries to make it black-and-white in a way that denigrates the the person in question.

PS Would you, as an adult, sleep in the bed with someone who gave money to support your states succession from the US, even if that person was your husband? It's a stupid question but ... it fits this discussion.

That's what I thought. Yikes! Do you have a link. I believe you but am curious to see.

I'd be interested in a link, too, as I haven't found any links myself in my searches.

Your wish is my command


From the Politico


In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

While Ayers and Dohrn may be thought of in Hyde Park as local activists, they’re better known nationally as two of the most notorious — and unrepentant — figures from the violent fringe of the 1960s anti-war movement.

Now, as Obama runs for president, what two guests recall as an unremarkable gathering on the road to a minor elected office stands as a symbol of how swiftly he has risen from a man in the Hyde Park left to one closing in fast on the Democratic nomination for president.

“I can remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers’ house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the senate and running for Congress,” said Dr. Quentin Young, a prominent Chicago physician and advocate for single-payer health care, of the informal gathering at the home of Ayers and his wife, Dohrn. “ identified as her successor.”

Obama and Palmer “were both there,” he said.
