The real Bill Ayers
It was refreshing to read what felt like unadulterated truth. This op-ed by the man accused of being one of Obama's skeletons, is just a man who has had many experiences and regrets which have made him the man he is today, a well educated, well respected man. The media tried to take that away. I just read a quote from Lincoln a minute ago that is apropos for this very man, " Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thin." I am glad to know the tree now. It is clear reminder to us who have been drowning in media buzz around this election for the last 2 years. To remember that we all hold individuals truths that are often distorted and manipulated by whomever. This is only exaggerated ridiculously when there is something to gain:power. Then, all bets are off. Truths are stretched, pulled and often completely glossed over to paint a different picture entirely.
