We are known by the company we keep
Barack Obama has been intimately involved in recent years (during his entry into political campaigns) with Bill Ayers, the unrepentant, anti-American, bomb throwing terrorist for many years, but claims that Ayers’s past is irrelevant because Ayers’s confessed bombings of the New York Police Station and other terrorist acts occurred when Obama was 8 years old so is just ancient history. He pretends that this has nothing to do with Ayers’s recent or current beliefs, etc. Fast Forward to 2007. He, Bill Ayers, was just recently presented with a ring that was fabricated from the metal of an American fighter plane shot down in Viet Nam, and he was so moved he left the room in tears. Ayers has been and remains as anti-American as one can get and has never regretted the carnage and other anti-American activities of his youth. This is the man who helped launch Obama into running for office, hosting his entry into one of his first campaigns. Also, within very recent years, Obama and Bill Ayers served together on the board of a foundation that has made donations supporting socialist agenda and some other leftist causes and activities. He has not severed his relationship with this man. Do you really admire such connection with man who would be President of the United States? Of course there is also the influence of Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, a primer for revolutionists, which he dedicated to Lucifer. We all know who he is. BHO has other radical, leftist, anti-American influences that, although he has claimed to disavow, are a part of his background and political development—Rev. Wright, Father Pfleger, and the shady (now a convict) Tony Rezko. None of this can be attributed to youthful naiveté. It is more as if he is a puppet on the strings of an extreme, radical, leftist group which backs him and orchestrates his campaign, someone who will drag us down into socialism and ruin. Unfortunately, the American public is so ill educated that they don’t even know American history as recent as 40 years ago, and never heard of Alinsky, the radical extremist revolutionary and his ilk. I find this downright scary.

You're writing as if Obama and this man have daily lunch together when they've merely crossed paths in the past. If a convicted rapist attended the same church that you did, I wouldn't think that you were consorting with a rapist daily. This is a long stretch that has already been played out in the media.
Chicago Sun Times: Obama's Connection To Ayers Is A "Phony Flap". The Chicago Sun-Times wrote in an editorial, "But Ayers, it is also true to say, has since followed in the footsteps of the great Chicago social worker Jane Addams, crusading for education and juvenile justice reform. His 1997 book, A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court, has been praised for exposing how Cook County's juvenile justice system all but eliminates a child's chance for redemption. Is Barack Obama consorting with a radical? Hardly. Ayers is nothing more than an aging lefty with a foolish past who is doing good. And while, yes, Obama is friendly with Ayers, it appears to be only in the way of two community activists whose circles overlap. Obama's middle name is Hussein. That doesn't make him an Islamic terrorist. He stopped wearing a flag pin. That doesn't make him unpatriotic. And he's friendly with UIC Professor William Ayers. That doesn't make him a bomb thrower. Time to move on to Phony Flap 6,537,204." [Chicago Sun-Times, 3/3/08]
Washington Post: Obama-Ayers Link "Is A Tenuous One." The Washington Post reported in a fact check, "But the Obama-Ayers link is a tenuous one." [Washington Post, 2/18/08]
Woods Fund President Harrington: "This Whole Connection Is A Stretch." The Washington Post reported in a fact check, "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.'" [Washington Post, 2/18/08]
Noam Scheiber Of TNR: "I Don't See Evidence Of Any Relationship" Between Obama And Ayers. Noam Scheiber of The New Republic wrote, "Ben says Ayers and Obama were, at best, casual friends. Even that seems to overstate things, though. I don't see evidence of any relationship. The only concrete connection we know of is the meeting, which was attended by a number of local liberals; their contemporaneous membership on the board of a local organization; and a $200-donation by Ayers to one of Obama's state senate campaigns. (Obama also once praised something Ayers had written about the juvenile justice system.) I'm not saying they couldn't have been casual friends; just that there isn't much evidence for that at this point." [The New Republic, 2/22/08]
Birdsell: Obama Links To Ayers Were "Pretty Slender Ties." The New York Sun reported, "'Those are pretty slender ties to a controversial figure,' the dean of Baruch College's School of Public Affairs, David Birdsell, said of Mr. Obama's links to Mr. Ayers." [New York Sun, 2/19/08]
