this looks dangerously like policing what people think.
Wendy, quoting someone is the same as thought police? Nobody's saying Ayers ought to be arrested (he should have been, decades ago, for crimes committed back then, but that's water under the bridge). That's nowhere near the point. The point is, examining a man's allies will tell you something about him, and when a man's got lots and lots of repulsive allies, you gotta start wondering what all he agrees with them on. That's a legitimate area of inquiry.
And if Barack Obama is telling the truth that he didn't know what Ayers was all about, then obviously the man's too stupid to be president.
