The difference between Glenn Reynolds and Marc Ambinder.

Putz on Obama/Ayers:

"What does that say about Obama’s idea of mainstream, as he has repeatedly described Ayers and Dohrn?"

And what does it say about the mainstream media, whose organs have quite consciously and deliberately ignored and minimized this subject?

Ambinder on Obama/Ayers:

What "radical" ideas did Obama and Bill Ayres come up with to foist on the Chicago school system?

What specific projects -- "radical" projects -- did Obama work on with Ayres? Is there evidence that they collaborated and schemed to ... do anything "radical" together? Ever?

Or just that they served on a board of a fairly well-respected liberal charity at the same time? And that left-leaning charities tend to give money to left-leaning organizations, a la ACORN?

Is the real story here that Obama once served on the board of a liberal education charity?

And there you have the difference between a professional conservative journalist and a drooling Malkinite wingnut.
