So it comes down to Bill Ayers mythology and Joe the Plumber???

Fact is stranger than fiction...

BTW, just for the record... The WeatherUnderground folks weren't the only folks on the front lines of the anti-war movement... There were hundreds of thousands of folks fightin' in various cities and towns, using various tactics and it is not surprising that anyone who knows a number of Baby Boomers probably also knows someone who was on those front lines...

I'm sure that John McCain has associated with plenty of people who fought against the Vietnam War... Okay, like Obama, he might not know it but face it, we are everywhere... And other than a few old hippies, like myself with my long gray ponytail, they look just like grandpa and grandma... And they are out there workin' in car dealerships, and insurance companies and fixin' washing machines and, and, and...

So for the McCain folks thinkin' that Obama's association with a former radical is damning is, in itself, very niave... Or very hypocritical... Either are reason not to take McCain or his charges seriously...
