Gail Collins’ column in The New York Times today — “Clearing the Ayers” — needs no comment on my part. Suffice it to say that, having once met James McGreevey at a christening, I should acknowledge my responsibility for his failed governorship, or maybe his ties to Golan Cipel, the Israeli government, the settler movement …
We could keep going.

It\’s more like guilt by a$$es, the a$$es being McCain-Palin. Ayers is a respected professor at the University of Illinois. So are the people who hired him all terrorists, are his students terrorists, are all the professors who interact with him terrorists? Is Chicago a terrorist city for housing Ayers and for awarding him a citizen of the year award? Are the Annenbergs terrorists? Are the GOPers who have had dealings with Ayers all terrorists, too? This is just a stupid GOP misdirection and ploy to keep people\’s minds off of the economic Armageddon caused by GOP policies.
