HIllary Clinton's campaign will try to drop the Ayers bomb and it will explode in their face [View All]

Yellow-toothed Wolfson was just on Keith Olbermann's show and tried to make an issue of the Ayers "connection" as per Boy Georgie's big "question" in the debate. It looks like this may be the next attack on Obama and like "Bittergate", it will backfire. Obama even mentioned how Bill Clinton pardoned Weather Undergrounders... I hope they step into the trap.

I did a Handy Guide on this:

Here's all you need to know about this "story:"

As Newsday pointed out, Clinton has her own, also tenuous, Weatherman connection. Her husband commuted the sentences of a couple of convicted Weather Underground members, Susan Rosenberg and Linda Sue Evans, shortly before leaving office in January 2001.

Which is worse: pardoning a convicted terrorist or accepting a campaign contribution from a former Weatherman who was never convicted?

Whatever his past, Ayers is now a respected member of the Chicago intelligentsia, and still a member of the Woods Fund Board. The president of the Woods Fund, Deborah Harrington, said he had been selected for the board because of his solid academic credentials and "passion for social justice."

"This whole connection is a stretch," Harrington told me. "Barack was very well known in Chicago, and a highly respected legislator. It would be difficult to find people round here who never volunteered or contributed money to one of his campaigns."
