Divisive Obama associate heads to FSU

The Tallahassee Democrat reports: William Ayers, a Chicago professor who was a leader of the radical Weather Underground in the 1960s and a flashpoint in the presidential campaign, has been invited to speak at Florida State University.

Ayers was asked to campus by a student organization, the Institute for Liberal Studies, that is paying for and handling all aspects of his visit, FSU officials said. Ayers is scheduled to speak at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 12 at the Oglesby Union Ballroom.
