Bill Ayers

Hmm...What does the Naval Academy say about McCain? Oh wait, his class rank is public information.

"They consider him to be a distinguished professor."

And why wouldn't they?

For heaven sakes, it has been 30 some years. Isn't anyone allowed to redeem themselves? Ayers was even honored in Chicago as Citizen of the Year in 1997. Isn't it time to move on or do you just like to keep throwing this stuff out hoping it will stick?

Bob, how foolish are you going to feel when you realize this "non-issue" was used to distract you from the fact that the Republican Party has nothing - zero - nada - to offer except more of the same corrupt bushit we've had the last eight years? Hope you are preparing your statement now, because someone will surely ridicule you later about being so foolish today.

S.K. Never assume anything. I only asked if UI has anything to say.

what does it say about the city of Chicago? He was citizen of the year.

What does it say about everyone else who worked on the board? Apparently a Reagan close friend, a Nixon State Department high ranking official, conservative republicans, other distinguished citizens who love America served with Ayers on that board and other boards throught the years.

This story is not going anywhere because it's bogus. At first, when they talked about this way back in April and during that debate with Hillary, it looked like a valid issue. The more you look like it, the more bogus it is.

The story is for low information voters. The many who will not google Ayers and his relationship with the board. If everything you read is from the far right and the RNC you will not know anything about this.

It's like reading about Keating 5 from Obama's new site on keatingeconomics. Both are gross amplifications of the real story.

Unfortunately low information voters make up the majority. Many Palinites actually believe that Obama is a arab muslim.

I would think everyone would be proud to have their child taught by someone who was with a domestic terrorist group.

Do you see yourself as a Christian, Paula? What did Jesus Christ teach about judgment and forgiveness?

I just might be proud. Depends on the person and the terrorist group. In Israel, which was a US ally last time I checked, people considered terrorists by the British became respected leaders after the 1948 war. In the US armed revolutionaries are revered as the Founding Fathers.

It's a matter of perspective.

We've heard from everyone from a frog to an L.I.V. I've been told my question was foolish and irrelevant. But, no one could answer it. So I guess the consensus is that the UI has made no comment.

S.K. Never assume anything. I only asked if UI has anything to say.

BS, when you post a couple of sentences that tell me nothing, I have to "assume" a lot. The first thing I can "assume" is that you are too lazy to type an article. The second thing I can "assume" is that you either don't want to share your opinion, or you want us to do it for you.

I think your mistake was in "assuming" that when people click on a link they don't expect to find information.

''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.''

So, would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? ''I don't want to discount the possibility,'' he said.

Is he repentant? No

Did he make atonement? No

Why should he receive forgiveness?

Dear Gather Pundits and future politicians,

Just like the debates last night, I asked a question and you all rambled on with your talking points without answering the question. Many of you thought that the question was irrelevant. And it may be. But, McCain brought it up again last night. I can only assume he is desperate.

McCain put his foot in his mouth on the abortion issue during the debate. In my book Am I the Only One That Signals? ( www.bbotw.com ) I discuss abortion. I included the subject of abortion in a book of comic essays not because it’s funny; it isn’t. But, because the next president of the U.S. may be selected solely on his position on abortion. And it looks like I may be right again. Like Obama, I am pro-choice. That doesn’t mean pro-abortion.

Let’s keep this friendly so please don’t call me BS, even though I may be full of it.
