Public Opinion: Barack Obama and William Ayers—a Legitimate Issue?

BARACK YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON IN THE WORLD

small note

First of all, wikipedia is the least acurate website in the world.

Next, to the first speaker: The fact that YOU do not want to hear about a speciific issue does not mean very much to anyone. Sorry, it just does not. However, you make an interesting point: being board members or affiliates with someone does not mean you both believe the same things or are the same kind of person. Yet, how do explain the fact that William Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn (Whom is also a former member of the Weather Underground) hosted a meet-n-greet for Obama to meet their neighborsand in the 1990s when he ran for Senator of Illinois and also donated $200 to Obama during his 2001 campaign? It does not seem as though they had trouble getting along.

Now, to the second speaker: How did you take an argument concerning whether or not the connection between William Ayers and Barack Obama is rellevent and turn it into a religious discussion on race? Also, what does Rev. Wright have to do with this? Getting back on track, you too make an intersting point: if you continually wind up close to a person "coincidence" becomes less and less plausible. I theink the first speaker did an alright job arguing agaist your point so I will not. Instead, I am going to write on the issue you for some reason shot into this article out of nowhere: Race. To answer the question which you felt your "relgion" teachers had not successfully explained: "Why God had a racial policy to begin with?", i will simply say, he never did :). Unfortunately, being a church member has never ment that a person will be as indiscriminent, wise, and all-inclusive as God. The main thing to understand is God gave us churches, bibles, and other forms of worshipfull devices, but Man has to learn to use them correctly.

NO, NO, NO

This is one of the stupidest, non-points being kept alive by the media today. Understand: 1) you don't get to pick the people you're on a board with, 2) you don't become a radical because one lives in your neighborhood, 3) you don't have to fall in love with, be persuaded by, or otherwise absorb the ideals of one you're on a board with, and 4) you can spend limited time with someone who you wish you hadn't spent time with and not be guilty of "pallin' around with" that person, which I assumes really becoming that person's friend.

Past being absolutely nauseating to those of us truly wanting to read some "news" that we have to continue to hear about this non-story, elements like this send a ridiculous message to the world about us and set an incredibly bad example for our children. I thought when you grew up, you were to be better able to discern truth from lies and become more responsible with what you say and do. I don't see much of that going on right now, especially in the media.

I don't care about Ayers. I never cared about Ayers. When people showed you they didn't care, you should have dropped it, and attempted to get back to your job of reporting the news.

I wish I had a job where I could whatever irresponsible thing I wanted to do and still keep my job AND get paid. On second thought, I don't. Great scam, though, you in the media have going.
