Barack Obama Is Palling Around With Terrorist William Ayers

By Michael Barone

(US News)  This New York Times story is an attempted whitewash of Barack Obama's long-time relationship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers. Stanley Kurtz of National Review Online explains why the article is a whitewash. Other trenchant critiques come from Abe Greenwald at Commentary's Contentions blog and Scott Johnson at PowerLine. Sarah Palin raised the issue at a Carson, Calif., rally Saturday and characterized Obama, fairly, I think, as "palling around with terrorists."
