By this reasoning, everybody who knows Ayers in his world of education should be viewed suspiciously. These people would include politicians on both side of the aisle, educators and students. Perhaps employers should look askance at any student of Ayers who is seeking employment. Has he turned them all into dangerous radicals because of who he was 40 years ago? Clearly Republicans who worked with him on that charitable board cannot be trusted. Throw the bastards out. Lets go further. Anybody who knows anybody who knows Ayers cannot be trusted. Who knows how far this has gone?

The media loves these stories, whether it's a politician, well-known athlete or a celebrity, they love the guilt by association stories. This needs to stop across the board. After all, look who Jesus hung out with - what a story that would make these days.
- booksnmore4you, on 10/12/2008, -0/+1You can bet that students of Ayers, where Ayers is named as an adviser on a thesis or dissertation, have had the very fact of their education threatened over the past weeks, even though Ayers really is a respectable scholar and educator.
But why the hell would Republicans care about THAT? It's just a little collateral damage, to them.
