Doesn't the whole "was on the board of an institution funded by Republicans" saying something about the notion that he's at least somewhat rehabilitated? Not to mention that the Weather Underground intentionally acted in ways to avoid killing people? Not that I think there's anything to the notion of the Obama - Ayers connection, given that they haven't really had anything to do with each other for the past ten years. McCain is far more closely connected with Keating, to pick a random example. I'm just saying that even if the connection were somewhat closer, it wouldn't really make a difference to me.
