Well, even if it is true, would you prefer a guy who is friends with a bomber, or a guy who actually bombed and killed civilians in vietnam ?
Just to make a point...
I don't know why anyone thinks this election is so important.
Both candidates were picked by the same people.
Two names, one game...

This is perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone ever say on ATS, --snip--

How many of you knew who Ayers was prior to this contorversy?

Here's a man who Obama is friends with. (Note: This is still the one part of the ad that I'm not sure is true. I haven't seen proof that these two are friends.)

I don't think that's what it's saying at all. What it's saying is:
-----------
Here's a man who Obama is friends with. (Note: This is still the one part of the ad that I'm not sure is true. I haven't seen proof that these two are friends.)
This man was co-founder of an organization that bombed the pentagon, the capital building, and many police stations. Other members of this group went on to murder police officers.
Did you know Obama was friends with people like this? What else don't you know?
-------------
That's the commercial. Regardless, you have to admit that Obama has some strange acquaintances. I agree with other posters earlier in the thread, I'm really confused as to why Ayers isn't in prison since he admitted that he participated in the bombings of many government facilities.

Obama should let this one slide-on-by. Afterall, he has nothing to worry about, right?
Sadly there are enough people out there who will believe anything they are told, so he actually does have something to worry about from those people.

It is reported they are neighbors and their children play together. They serve together on a Board and have been at least friendly for many years. Nobody has disputed that.
Beyond that?????????????

Also, notice how "the usual suspects" (obamaphiles) here are not really trying to refute the message, instead they're attempting to shoot the messenger or deflect the topic.

Oh that's right. What was the message again that the "obamaphiles" aren't trying to refute?
That Obama knows Ayers? That they are Neighbors? Served on a board together where Ayers was appointed by Richard M. Dailey to help reform Chicago schools?
Is that the damning message that "obamaphiles" refuse to refute?
Ayers was part of the Weather Underground ...Obama knows Ayers...so...Obama must be what?
I am confused about the message.
Again...the American people are not that stupid, though some of the posts here would make me think otherwise.

Wait, let's turn this logic around...
McCain associates with Vietmanese Communist Torture Masters! He spent YEARS with these people! McCain spent his youth associating with men who TORTURED AMERICAN CITIZENS! HE SPENT YEARS WITH THESE MEN WHO TORTURED AMERICAN TROOPS! How dare anyone vote for a man who associated with these evil communist pigs who tortured American Men in Uniform!
Now sure he was one of them being tortured but hey, we're using Republican logic here so it works.
