William Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, were principal operatives in the Weatherman terrorist group. Mr. Ayers is unrepentant, unlike Eldridge Cleaver. He told The New York Times, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

I doubt very highly that this qualifies him for membership in the LDS Church. His wife is directly responsible for the killing of a San Francisco policeman in February of 1970. Both he and his wife were never convicted because of a technicality in the way evidence was collected by the FBI.

I doubt very much that Barack Obama could survive the type of scrutiny that has been heaped on Gov. Sarah Palin.
