Obama, Ayers, and Farrakhan all live within 2 blocks of each other — and yet Obama will not be truthful about their relationships, and keeps claiming both are just “some guys from the neighborhood”.
Farrakhan has declared Obama the “world Messiah”, and Ayers tried to blow up New York Police Headquarters in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972, and the US Capital in 1973. And then in 1996 he launched Obama’s political career in his living room.
Tim McVeigh blew up the Oklahoma City federal builing in 1995.
Would it be okay, and would McVeigh be “just some guy from the neighborhood”, if a politician had launched his career from McVeigh’s living room?
Or, is Ayers just “some guy from the neighborhood” because his bombs only killed a few people and didn’t level the building, while McVeigh’s bombs were more devastating to their targets?
And considering 1996 was just one year after Oklahoma City, who in their right mind would embrace a serial bomber who wanted to destroy the ULTIMATE federal building of all — the United States Capital?
There is just not enough Kool-Aid in all of the world for people to be able to excuse Obama’s embrace of Ayers away. Ayers is Timothy McVeigh with a (thankfully) lower success rate.

Does anyone know why Ayers wasn’t put away for life? He shouldn’t even be seeing the light of day, much less playing an influential role at a university.

I am not sure exactly why he got off but it was on some kind of technicality. He is quoted as saying “guilty as hell, free as a bird”

I lived roughly in that same area when I was a grad student at the U of Chicago. We used to go by Farrakhan’s house (it’s really more like a military compound) just to get a laugh. That’s some pretty shady company the Obamessiah keeps!

[...] Hillary Site Hillbuzz has a map that shows Obama’s neighborhood and a few of his neighbors – Ayers, Rezko and Farrakhan. [...]

But obama is so squeaky clean that just the best of people campaign for him..further pushing the people’s heads in the sand. The media which no longer exists is too busy feeling tingling up their legs and getting goose bumps when the annointed one speaks. They don’t have time to investigate and report. Anyway…isn’t it a fact that these people just live somewhere on his block and he really doesn’t know them?
