Jojo,

I respect your decision to bow out of the discussion.

For the sake of those who were might be reading along, I will say the following:

Jojo maintains that Ayers is a changed man who regrets his terrorist past and is now atoning for his crimes through community service. I say he is a militant radical who has merely changed tactics while remaining true to his ideological objectives. The media and Obama's campaign say Ayers is a man of no consequence in Obama’s life who happens to live in his neighborhood. I say he is someone who, over the course of a close and ongoing personal and professional relationship spanning more than a decade, has greatly influenced Obama’s thinking, and the way he views America.

This is not a question of “you say tomato and I say tomahto.” It is not a question of “believe whatever you want to believe.”
