The MSM, Obama Challenge on Ayers

Bill Ayers has surfaced to briefly talk to the Tribune, before he slinks back into his cushy ivory tower at our expense. The Trib characterizes him as just an unassuming guy trying to do his job. Is it any wonder too few of us here and most of the rest of the country view Chicago as suffering from acute moral myopia? It's an "unpleasant conversation". My God, murder is more than unpleasant. Waking up as a nine year old learning your family was nearly incinerated is more than unpleasant.

Ayers asks--what can I add? He says, "life happens", like he was some kind of passive observer rather than one of the most notorious domestic terrorists in American history.

I have a few questions of my own for "professor" Ayers.

When did you first meet Barack Obama--did you run into him or know of him in New York when you were studying there at the same time?

Did you suggest he come to Chicago and become a community organizer?

Did you have a role in his getting his first job as a community organizer?

Do you think Barack Obama knew you were a domestic terrorist when you first met him? When was that? His campaign initially said he didn't know of your radical past, now he says he thought you were "rehabilitated". Do you regret building and setting bombs as a member of the Weather Underground?

Did you have a role in getting Barack Obama a publishing contract for his first book?

Did you review drafts of his book?

Did you edit his book?

Did you write his book?

When did you first meet Barack Obama in Chicago?

Did you hire Barack Obama for the Annenberg Challenge?

Why would you hire someone so inexperienced with no background as an educator, nor as an executive?

Do you think it was ethical for Sen. Obama to fund your own projects under the Chicago Annenberg Challenge?

There are more. The MSM moderator should bring up Bill Ayers at the debate tonight--John McCain shouldn't have to. And the Rev. Wright as well.

One more point--the Tribune subhead is this all happened "decades ago". It was more recent than you think--some of this happened when Barack Obama--and Bill Ayers-- were in New York:

On October 20, 1981 -- long after the Weather Underground had ceased to exist -- former Underground member Kathy Boudin and her soon-to-be husband, David Gilbert, were accomplices in the robbery of a Brinks armored car in Nyack, New York. In the course of that heist, one Brinks guard and two Nyack police officers were murdered.

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin comments on the terrorist next door, uh what's on Bill Ayers' door, plus the ed school types who heart Ayers.
