Obama And Ayres

23 Sep 2008 11:45 am

Associations can be fair game, but here's my question about Barack Obama and William Ayres:

What "radical" ideas did Obama and Bill Ayres come up with to foist on the Chicago school system?

What specific projects -- "radical" projects -- did Obama work on with Ayres?  Is there evidence that they collaborated and schemed to  ... do anything "radical" together?   Ever?

Or just that they served on a board of a fairly well-respected liberal charity at the same time? And that left-leaning charities tend to give money to left-leaning organizations, a la ACORN?

Is the real story here that Obama once served on the board of a liberal education charity?
