Guilt by association needs to be weighed against the strength of the association. I’m not convinced that Obama was aware of Ayers’ personal history when they met, and it’s my understanding that Obama and Ayers were never really that closely associated. Jeremiah Wright is a bigger albatross around Obama’s neck, in my opinion. As a counterpoint, I can offer this photo of Donald Rumsfeld meeting an unsavory character. 😉
