That was the ideology that drove him to bomb American targets, it is the ideology he has taken to America’s classrooms (which are just a different front in the same war he has been raging against our society for 40 years), it is the ideology he has never hidden from anyone, and — here’s the point — it is the ideology that drove his partnership with Barack Obama. That’s the reason Obama is minimizing the relationship. Obama and Ayers worked well together — happily funding the same communists, socialists, America haters, Israel haters, etc. — because they were ideologically aligned. Obama is smoother and more marketable than Ayers, but ideologically they’re coming from the same place: American society needs drastic change. And if you want to know the change Obama and Ayers have in mind, look at what they did at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Look at Obama’s Chicago years, which explains why Ayers and Dohrn would host the launching of his political career from their living room. That’s where Obama doesn’t want to go — because if voters look there, he’s toast.
McCain shouldn’t just focus on the guilt by association aspect of the relationship but should ask the question: why would a radical leftist who was driven to terrorism choose to support Obama? Obviously the answer is Obama shares his views. And if that’s the case, is this the kind of change we want in America? Give the public a clear understanding of the choice they are about to make. The MSM won’t do it, so it’s left to McCain and so far he has made the case.
