A little late on posting a thread on this but it might make for interesting discussion. I'm sure you're all aware of the controversy regarding Obama's "association" with Ayers, former member of the notorious Weather Underground radical anti-war group. While I don't think the majority of people consider Ayers the "top" issue when voting, I do think he's a polorizing figure that always sparks debate. With Revrend Wright, Obama had a problem, but Wright's comments were comming from more of a racial standpoint. Ayers however, was, and still is very public about his past, including many bombings of many US institutions. If you compare the two, I'd say Obama has a bigger problem with Ayers seeing as how Wright never commited violent acts.
Obama claims he and Ayers were simply on a pannel dealing with juvenile justice in Chicago. Others claim the two are more connected.
Your thoughts?
