Real Clear Politics picked up Bill Ayres,
drove him around the block and asked the unapologetic terrorist whether he
thinks Mr. Obama should be tried for war crimes. The answer, Mr. Ayers said,
was “Absolutely!” Mr. Obama has yet to be driven around the block or asked what
his current feelings towards Mr. Ayres are.
Mr. Obama has
always claimed that his acquaintance
with Mr. Ayres was fleeting and unimportant, a characterization some
questioned. Their putatively historically “accurate” autobiographies are both
larded with fictitious characters and episodes. Mr. Obama recovered politically
from his momentary alliance with Mr. Ayres -- the publisher of “Prairie Fire,” a communist
manifesto -- who also recovered from his disreputable past. Presently, Mr.
Ayres is a celebrated pedagogue, a follower of Paulo Frere, author of “The
Pedagogy of the Oppressed," a book that had a certain revolutionary
cachet in the post Woodstock era and was thought by some to have ushered in
decades of educational destruction.
