Reply #20: Hannity changes the kid's reason from "fair trials" to Ayers [View All]

[janet118]

He didn't want to talk about fair trials so he drags up William Ayers, a former member of the Weather Underground, claiming Ayers was a "close friend" of Barack Obama. This, according to Hannity, was the reason for the shirt's slogan about Obama being the Terrorists' Best Friend despite the facts that Obama was younger than Dexx (????) during the hey-day of the Weathermen and that the kid had already stated he was not referring to Ayers but to Obama's support of fair trials for "terrorists."

Obama's connection to William Ayers, now a professor at the University of Chicago:

The two served together on the Woods Fund Board from 1999 until Obama left in 2002. Ayers had other contact with Obama as a resident of Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, hosting a meet-and-greet at his house to introduce Obama to his neighbors during Obama's first Illinois state Senate campaign in 1995, appearing on education panels together, and donating $200 to Obama's campaign in April 2001.
