No need to feel guilty, even if the LA Times once intoned that Bill Ayers is “toxic”. (So Obama better not have him as an advisor) I have no such qualms so I’m interviewing Ayers again (15 December 2008 at 9 am) on Subversity. He’ll talk about what educational reform he expects under Obama. The last time Ayers was on (in April 2002), rightwing forces (six and a half years later) spirited the audio of our 2002 interview and made a smear video — attempting unsuccessfully it turned out — to get voters to vote against Obama. (In the two weeks before the election, over 70,000 saw that video on YouTube — now over 82,000 have.) Have a look and let us know what you think: smear video.
