Obama's Ayers connection

Even by the shabby standards of this presidential campaign, it's outrageous for Sarah Palin to assert that Barack Obama is so deficient in patriotism that he would "pal around with terrorists who bomb their own country." Obama was wrong to associate with Bill Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground, but the suggestion that the two are political soul mates is absurd and insulting. John McCain should think twice before polluting tonight's second presidential debate with this noxious falsehood.
