Hold on. Ayers loves Sirhan Sirhan, and is Obama's ghost writer. This is still just second-hand smoke. That this is a secondary connection does not change my generally unfavorable opinion of the Democratic candidate, but I'd like something out of Obama's own mouth that praises Sirhan Sirhan before I'd condemn him for such a connection.
