[Rhodes22-list] New York Radio Interviews in Harlem

[petelargo]

Stanley Kurtz has put himself into the headlines by pushing the
guilt-by-association link between Bill Ayers and Barack Obama because they
both worked on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge to improve public schools.
When Kurtz went to look at the Annenberg files at the University of Illinois
at Chicago, librarians temporarily blocked access out of concerns about
whether they had the proper permission to open them to the public. UIC
quickly changed their dumb decision, and Kurtz read the Annenberg papers.
Kurtz had speculated that "access to the CAC records promises to provide a
treasure trove of documentary evidence."

And what did he find? Absolutely nothing. Kurtz's great conclusion: Ayers
and Obama went to the same meetings. The rest is all conspiratorial
neo-mccarthyistic speculation. And the general attack by Kurtz: Obama is
"comfortable working with people" on the left. Well, that's no surprise,
since he's also comfortable working with people on the far right.
