Ayers 2008: Has not left radicalism behind

October 10, 11:56 AM
by Rick Pearcey, Top News Examiner
 
 
"Bill Ayers isn't out bombing anymore, but he has never stopped being a radical. His ties to hostile Marxist regimes remain, raising more questions about Barack Obama's refusal to fully repudiate him," states Investor's Business Daily. . . .

"Obama says he barely knows [Ayers], but in the years when he was meeting and serving together on the Annenberg Challenge and the Woods Fund, as well as launching his career with a fundraiser in Ayers' Che Guevara-festooned house, Ayers made at least four Marxist pilgrimages to Caracas to praise Chavez's dictatorial regime," continues IBD. . . . 

"[Ayers] sits on the board of a Venezuelan government think tank called Miranda International Center, focused on bringing Cuba-style education to Venezuelan school children. . . .

"The reality is, either Obama is naive or he doesn't care that Ayers remains an anti-American radical who would hurt his country.

"His ties to the rising radicalism in Latin America continue.

"Could anything be more useful to Chavez than to have someone like Ayers as a go-between with a U.S. president?

"Obama still has repudiated only Ayers' past terrorist actions. What about his present?"
