More importantly, Gibbs didn’t let Hannity hustle him into playing on his (Hannity’s) terms. Hannity kept wanting to frame the question as “unrepentant terrorist.” Gibbs wasn’t having it.
The correct answer on this question, though, is this:
Sean, Whatever we think about his past, today Bill Ayers is a college professor. Lots of people work with him including conservative Republicans, city officials in Chicago, state government officials in Illinois, and who knows how many educational organizations and foundations. In all, there are hundreds, probably even thousands of perfectly good people who work with Mr. Ayers.
Sean, are you going to tell us that the work of all those people is somehow tainted by their association with this one guy? If so, I’d like to hear you explain how we ought to deal with all these people who know Bill Ayers.
The Annenberg initiative where Obama and Ayers both worked was funded by bigtime McCain supporter Eleonore Annenberg.
I guess that makes McCain and Obama both terrorist supporters by association, huh?
Hannity is a jackass. Good to see him hoisted by his own petard.
I have much man love for Gibbs. Hannity is a self rightous bigot who was called out and exposed for what he is.
I happened to turn it on Fox just as Gibbs and Hannity were getting it on. For the next 28 days Hannity’s mantra will be associations.
Gibbs was absolutely genius in playing the “guilt by association” card back against Hannity. Hannity got Pwned!!
Did anyone else notice the Fox News poll at the bottom of the screen? 86% of viewers apparently thought that McCain won that debate.
Ooooooooookaaaaaaaaaay, psychos…

Hannity it weak and I am glad someone finally handed his ass to him. Fair and balanced he is not and Obama is going to win!
