I'm not sure on the best strategy for this but I find it interesting that William Ayers, terrorist extraordinaire according to McCain was chosen as Citizen of the Year in 1997 for his work on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Obviously, he has made some mistakes in the past, but his work as a college professor and with the Chicago public school system has dignified him.
So, the question is, should we engage the media in telling a deeper story about William Ayers, or still work the strategy of pointing out how tenuous the ties between Ayers and Obama really are.
