Thanks to Chicago's "With Both Hands'" blogger Pat Hickey, we've been made aware of a blogging movement that has gotten little media attention, but which has become a powerful mechanism on the Obama beat.
This group of bloggers, led by local Chicagoans Anne Leary, John Ruberry and Bill Baar as well as a Santa Clara University faculty member, is effectively exposing more and more about the Obama-Ayers relationship and how it is another piece in the puzzle of helping us to discover exactly who this mysterious man who wants to rule the most powerful nation in the world is . . .
vIs the emerging debate about the relationship between Senator Obama and former Weather Underground leader and now Distinguished Professor of Education Bill Ayers simply about the past?
I believe that that is not the only question at stake - at stake is the possibility that Bill Ayers continues to play a significant role in influencing the candidacy and potentially the presidency of Barack Obama, in particular on vital questions of educational policy. In particular, as this blog post will explain, at least one advisor on education policy to the Obama campaign advocates a form of reparations to black and other minority Americans for hundreds of years of alleged “education debt” owed them by white Americans. And Bill Ayers is an advocate of the same policy.
That history nonetheless deserves full exploration because it lays the ground work for understanding the current Ayers-Obama relationship. Incredibly, however, the MSM continues to ignore the crucial fact that the ties between Ayers and Obama pre-date the November 1995 “meet and greet” held for Obama at the home of Ayers and Dohrn in Hyde Park.
