Obama Served on Juvenile Justice Panel With Ayers

According to Barack Obama, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers is "just some guy in the neighborhood."

But WorldNetDaily reports Michelle Obama organized a panel discussion about whether child murderers should be tried as adults. Obama and Ayers sat on the same side--in favor of cutting a sprout for child murderers.

Barack Obama was billed as a leader "who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system."

Ayers, promoting the panel event, told the student newspaper, "We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn't suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?"

Ayers reportedly spent a year observing the juvenile detention system and in 1997 released a book, "A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court."

During his Weathermen days, Ayers once famously commented, "Kill all the rich people. ... Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents."

Boy, for some guy that Obama wants us to believe he vaguely saw every now and then in "the neighborhood," Obama has had quite a bit of interaction with this terrorist whose Weathermen organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, and several police stations and post offices.

Obama served on the board of an organization Ayers helped found, the Annenberg Challenge, with Ayers.

They also served on the board of the Woods Foundation together.

Ayers also held a meet-and-greet for Obama at his home to help launch Obama's political career.

And now we find that they both served on the same side of a panel discussion which promoted the view that juveniles who commit adult crimes should be cut some slack from serving commensurate penalties.

What else have Obama and Ayers done together that we don't yet know about?

Even if the list ends here, Obama's moral judgement and discernment in associating with an unrepentant terrorist is disgraceful.

Why would we even consider electing a man who associates so freely with someone who virulently hates the United States and has actually taken violent action against it?

Would you vote for someone who associated freely with Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh?

Children are not adults!

If they commit an adult crime, they should do adult time. The victim is just as dead, regardless of the perpetrator's age, and justice for the life taken is just as necessary.
