Striking while the “Bill Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist” iron is hot, AJ Schnack has published a post on his blog by Sam Green, the co-director of the Oscar-nominated documentary The Weather Underground. Green, who says Ayers has “become a good friend” of he and his co-director Bill Siegel, talks about the frustrations of watching his subject become a Republican talking point. As Green points out, the McCain/Palin argument connecting Obama to Ayers compltely omits any explanation for how a “terrorist” can become a “Distinguished Professor” thanks to thirty years of cultural evolution. “To have all of his work, and what he’s about, so publicly misrepresented must be extremely painful,” Green writes. “There really is nothing, or at least nothing significant, at the heart of the Ayers-Obama connection.” More here.
