You owe it to yourself to take the time to listen to Stanley Kurtz on Milt Rosenberg's WGN show out of Chicago that aired last night. The audio is here. As readers of this site know from Jason's consistent reporting, Kurtz and others have been investigating Barack Obama's connection to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and education group that distributed tens of millions of dollars in the 1990s. Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers was part of this operation. Kurtz's point seems to be that the record indicates that Obama was far closer to Ayers than Obama has been willing to admit, certainly more than "just a guy in the neighborhood" that Obama happen to know.
What makes this show interesting? Milt Rosenberg is something of an institution in Chicago. A man of great learning, he has run a program of high minded debate for years on WGN. Listen to the program and hear the anger in the voices of Obama supporters and what's more the rote reliance on Obama campaign talking points. The callers really have no idea what Kurtz has done that's so bad other than he makes Obama look bad and therefore must be silenced. This is marvelous political theater.
