Guilt by Association…but with Walter Annenberg?

John McCain joined in with Sarah Palin today in attacking Barack Obama as being associated with William Ayers, a Vietnam War-era radical and now a professor at the University of Illinois. A McCain TV ad laid it on too: It claimed that one of the nonprofits on which Obama and Ayers worked was a radical education foundation.
The foundation? Why the Annenberg Challenge funded by the Annenberg Foundation, which was founded by the late Walter Annenberg.
If Walter Annenberg, the sometimes testy publisher of The Philadelphia Inquirer, founder of the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and Richard Nixon’s ambassador to Great Britain, had ever heard himself described as a radical…, oh my! (Annenberg founded the Annenberg Challenge to improve school performance.)
