Wright More Politically Damaging, Ayers More Dangerous To Potential Obama Commander in Chief
Reverend Jeremiah Wright explained himself with Bill Moyers and also managed to not so subtly put down Barack Obama as another cheesy politician - and has continued to damage him politically for the general election.
But the more dangerous and damaging person is in fact former terrorist cum academic Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadette Dohrn. Obama has tried to brush off his relationship with Ayers and claimed youth and lack of knowledge - despite their notoriety.
Barack Obama wishes to be commander-in-chief and yet wishes to be connected to those who ran with murderers and who would have been pleased to blow up the Pentagon and kill innocents.

While Wright is the more visceral and showier impediment to Obama, Ayers is far more dangerous. Wright, for all his rhetoric, has calibrated his sermons to garner the largest flock and appeals to a certain niche. In his own way, he is a cool an operator as Barack Obama and is retiring in style as any CEO might in a mostly white enclase in Illinois.
Ayers is unrepentent and would have been happy to make sure that violence was done to innocents - a big step over the line. Wright, for all his rhetoric, is basically exercising his First Amendment, however his remarks and the venue are despicable.
Ayers and his wife are educators - with her at a law school. They have no racial, class or economic oppression to even offer a fig leaf of an excuse. They are unapologetic Marxists - which reflects on the far left-wing ideology - as well as their willingness to do what it takes - and then cut, run and whine about it all.
Ayers has been the more dangerous to America and to a future commander in chief - although both men are detrimental to his credentials and bonafides for the Oval Office.
