Conservatives are stepping up efforts to turn 1960s radical Bill Ayers into a political liability for Barack Obama.
This spring, Obama's links to Ayers briefly became a campaign controversy. Now American Issues Project is spending $2.8 million to air a TV ad highlighting links between Obama and Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground Organization, which opposed the Vietnam War and was responsible for several bombings.
This issue has finally gone mainstream and it will not go away. The Obama campaign wants to pretend this is about what Ayers did in the 60's - that Ayers is a changed man that regrets his actions. Nothing could be further from the truth.
