    The Weather Underground had another round in the headlines when Obama was running. The far right (and the “liberal media” really didn’t help much, of course) tried to smear Obama by some kind of much later association of Obama with Ayers.

    The whole thing was hella stupid, of course. Obama was born in 1961, FFS, and would have been 16 years at the oldest when the Weather Underground was even still active.

    But being idiotic is what the far right does best, often with a big assist with dumb dumbs in the “liberal media”.
