Who is Bill Ayers?

There is a much larger question to be asked concerning Ayers: How did he gain access to the high levels of the democratic party in Chicago?

Bill Ayers (and now it seems, also fellow radical Bernadine Dorhn) was involved in kicking off Obama's political career. In politics, one keeps these connections, despite what Obama says.

But how did Ayers get there, into the circle of political kingmakers? How did he know them, why was he invited to these get-togethers?

There's more to this story, I believe; not necessarily indicting Obama, but the Democratic Party, certainly in Chicago.

Renegade Eye: Who is Bill Ayers?: "
The NY Times reported that in 1995 State Senator Alice Palmer “introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.” In other words, Ayers and Dohrn were involved with the Democratic Party at a fairly high level. Ayers, a professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago, served as an adviser to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, the son of the former Mayor who unleashed the cops on peaceful demonstrators in 1968."
