Re: William Ayers
Note to media: now that the McCain/Palin campaign have made William Ayers a media celebrity, it would be nice to hear from him. To go from a radical anti-war movement leader in the 1960s to a present-day University of Illinois at Chicago Distinguished Professor and elementary education theorist sounds like a great American life story to me.
Why won't the corporate media let the man speak for himself?
If a person can never change for the better, if they are marked for life by stupid things they did in their youth, then our current president is a cowardly coke-head, John McCain is a reckless rich-boy drunk (though with plenty of wrecks in his history)and Palin is an air-headed local beauty pageant runner-up who had to shop around through five colleges until she found one lax enough to give her a degree. I guess that makes Obama a mixed-race child of a single mother who buckled down at his work, excelled in all of his classes at the best universities in the country and pulled himself up by his own bootstraps.
