Who is this Ayers guy anyway?

It's easy to be swayed by the spin that Senator Obama's supporters create for our consumption. A lot of us weren't even around in the 60s and 70s when the United States experienced tremendous turmoil.

A lot of us never even heard the other side's perspective either. When we hear people talk about the 60s, we think about hippies who just wanted to live in peace with everyone. We think about people who just wanted to be free to do their own thing. "Free love." "Make love, not war." "Flower power." We think of people using psychedelic drugs intended to bring about mind-blowing "religious experiences".

Harmless stuff, mostly. At least, we say, those activities really don't harm anyone who doesn't chose to live that way. It doesn't harm anyone else.

When we hear this stuff about Senator Obama being connected somehow with Bill Ayers, our response might be, "What's the big deal? I don't even know who this Ayers guy is anyway." I think that if you do take the time to actually find out, you definitely won't be thinking that any more.

I hope you do watch this YouTube video. It is made up of both old and new video clips of news footage and interviews.



The thing that a lot of us are asking is this. Are you sure that you can trust Senator Obama's judgment? Really, are you?
