willottica has it right. you're grabbing at straws. writer b obama is a "neighbor" along with several others mentioned without saying they did scrapbooking and worked puzzles in the living room of a cold december evening. how sadly pathetic for a passing reference to be construed as "palling" around.

now... an all expenses paid bahamanian vacation for the entire mccain family, including babysitter, at the private home of "charlie" keating... is more than a passing mention on page 82 of a book nobody ever heard of.
as usual, republicans find the miniscule, worthless scrap to chew on and fret over while ignoring the entire side of beef laying there bleeding in the middle of the living room. i'd laugh if you weren't so sickening.

Unless you bothered to take the time to READ the bloody article you posted.

From the page in question: "Our neighbors include Muhammad Ali, former mayor Eugene Sawyer, poets Gwendolyn Brooks and Elizabeth Alexander, and write Barack Obama."
In other words, Ayers is describing the guys in the neighborhood.
This thread is stupid, even for you, Wolfie.

Please do, because Wolfie clearly didn't if he thinks it's in any way incriminating. Here, I'll paste the relevant text for you:

It is time to start labelling these kinds of smears as what they really are - extremist and anti-american-democracy.

Obama the Subhuman
Increasingly, right-wing conservatives and Republican political leaders are issuing dire warnings to the American public that they – and only they – are the legitimate rulers of the United States and the world. This basic contempt for anything but one-party rule is manifested in a number of dire threats repeated by the party, with its members promising the end of Western civilization as we know it if they lose their dominant status in government. A review of Conservative and Republican contempt for bi-partisan politics is in order....
- On the culture war front, Republicans and conservatives have been unrelenting in their religious fanaticism and racism. Residents of West Virginia and Arkansas have received mailings directly from the Republican National Committee warning that liberals will ban the bible....
- Right-wing pundits, echoed by major conservative political leaders, have warned that a victory for Barack Obama will be a victory for Islam, radical terrorism, and anti-Americanism....
- Conservative legal officials have essentially declared war on the Democratic Party, not for violating the law, but due to their own ideological prejudices. Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was recently exposed for allowing politically motivated prosecutions against prominent Democratic political officials....
None of these right-wing hit jobs or smear tactics should strike voters as merely "more of the same" negative politicking in an election season....
The Democrats' attempt to appeal across party lines has clearly not been the preferred tactic of the Republican Party. Angry over their likely loss of power in the upcoming election, they have become increasingly desperate in their attacks on the Democrats and the legitimacy of the two party state. This is particularly disturbing at a time when it is becoming harder and harder to discern concrete or substantive differences in the economic policies of the two parties. In reality, Obama and Biden's vague references to "regulation" don't amount to a whole lot when they fail to follow them up with actual policy proposals. That these Democrats are demonized by Republicans as sub-human, dangerous, or terrorist is more a sign of the growing extremism of conservatives than of the moral weakness or treachery of the Democrats. The Democratic Party today may be morally bankrupt, spineless, and bland, but none of those are anywhere near as dangerous as the Republican Party's fundamentalist contempt for multi-party elections and bi-partisan politics.
