And yet the mainstream media is curiously silent…
While Barack Obama has long downplayed his connection to Bill Ayers, a co-founder of the violent Weather Underground radical group, new documents show the two worked much more closely together in starting an educational foundation than has been previously known.
Recently released board-meeting minutes for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge show the two were present together at least six times in 1995 as the foundation’s members discussed how to organize and operate the project, which was Ayers’ brainchild.
Obama has always acknowledged he and Ayers both worked at the foundation, but has insisted they never had more than a passing acquaintance.
Peter Kirsanow, over at NRO, notes the media silence:
It’s been nearly a week since Stanley Kurtz presented evidence that Sen. Obama has seriously misrepresented his relationship with William Ayers, yet there’s no indication that news organizations are pressing the candidate for an explanation.
Among other things, Stanley shows that it’s reasonable to conclude that Ayers selected Obama, then a ” young and inexperienced lawyer”, to chair the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. There, Obama and Ayers directed substantial sums of money to radical organizations (see Stanley’s article today via the web briefing).
A few years later, Obama launched his political career at a gathering at Ayers home. The Ayers-Obama relationship certainly appears to be more like a mentor—protégé relationship than it does Obama’s description of a random acquaintance of two guys who happen to live in the same neighborhood.
Is this country going to elect someone who has a relationship with a domestic terrorist? Not a chance. Once this story gets the attention it deserves, Obama will be toast.
