Right here you have proof that Republicans were more than happy to accept donations from a prominent Republican who was funding Bill Ayers.
Rightwingunderground, it might be time to break ties with your party, I think:
"In their best efforts to portray Barack as out of the mainstream, some on the right have tried characterizing the Chicago Annenberg Challenge as a dangerous fringe organization. What they do not discuss is the fact that the CAC was funded by a foundation belonging to Walter Annenberg, the billionaire Republican philanthropist who served as Richard M. Nixon's ambassador to the U.K. Annenberg and his wife, Leonore, gave the CAC $50 million in the 90's."
"But Walter and Leonore weren't just giving money to educational foundations started by William Ayers. They were also giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Republican National Committee and various other Republican groups, as well as to a whole host of Republican candidates, including the following:
* George W. Bush $4000
* Mitt Romney $5000
* Strom Thurmond $1000
* Fred Thompson $500
* Rick Santorum $3000"
So, does that make them guilty by association as well? Nobody says that Ayers is anything other than a piece of shit. The question is how much can you benefit from him before the stink gets on you.
