RONALD REAGAN had no problems with Bill Ayers.
WALTER ANNENBERG had no problems with Bill Ayers.

Today's "republicans" must see Ronald Reagan and Walter Annenberg (and many current republicans currently working with Bill Ayers) as "terrorist pals", too.

How about all the kids who've taken courses under Bill Ayers? Oops, kids, you're now "terrorist pals" too!

4. Walter Annenberg was a very close personal friend of Ronald Reagan's.
In fact, Reagan presented Annenberg with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Walter Annenberg worked closely with Bill Ayers.

Ronald Reagan remained a lifelong personal friend of Walter Annenberg who worked closely (for years) with Bill Ayers.

Ronald Reagan had no problem with Bill Ayers working closely with his friend Walter.

But rightwingnuts have a "problem" (manufactured) with Obama having worked not-closely with Bill Ayers.



Do they also have a problem with the fact that Ronald Reagan was a good friend with a man who worked closely -for years- with Bill Ayers?

I betcha not.

5. Some more targets for the rightwingnuttery:
Arnold Weber-- Republican (Nixon's). Donated to John McCain. Worked with William Ayers

The Annenbergs (Reagan's friends)-- Republicans. Bankrolled William Ayers with $50 million

Rick Santorum-- former Republican Senator. Received $3000 from Ayers' backers.

"It was never a concern by any of us in the Chicago school reform movement that he had led a fugitive life years earlier," said former Illinois state Republican Rep. Diana Nelson, who worked with both Obama and Ayers over the years. "It's ridiculous. There is no reason at all to smear Barack Obama with this association. It's nonsensical, and it just makes me crazy. It's so silly."

So many republicans, so many "terrorist pals".

6. The "kids" argument doesn't work with the rightwingnutjobs
they think his classroom is his new terror tool, he will change the world by warping the yut of today and making them marxist and socialists - marxists and socialists are communists and communists are terrorists and terrorists are eebil.
