Yes, dear, they were and are communists.

Beating Dead Horses Because They Aren't Really Dead should be, but they ain't

Prairie Fire "We are communist women and men..." For the record, and just to be complete, here are links documenting some of Obama's many connections to William Ayers:  • Ayers and Obama worked together for years on a school reform program called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.  • Ayers and Obama also served together on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago, a separate charity organization.  • Obama had his political coming-out party in William Ayers' home.  • Ayers mentions Obama by name in a book he wrote in 1997, and mentions that the two are very close neighbors.  • Obama gave a short glowing review of that same Ayers book for the Chicago Tribune.  • Obama and Ayers were both presenters together on a panel about juvenile justice (organized by Michelle Obama).  • Both Obama and Ayers were close friends with the same person, Rashid Kalidi.  • There are also several unverified rumors swirling around that have not been documented: That Ayers may have helped to write part (or all) of Obama's autobiography; that Obama and Ayers shared an office space together for three years, on the same floor of the same building in Chicago; and that Ayers and Obama may have known each other as far back as 1981.  Absolutely none of this will be new to most of y'all.  Just doing my bit to keep it alive in case some, suddenly eager for truth,  journalist at CBS decides to do penance.
