   These people just can’t keep their mouths shut. They don’t understand that they are not the intellectuals and saviors of the country that they think they are, so they constantly saying things that have the reverse effect. Obama’s campaign people must be rolling their eyes about this and I’m sure, once again, his spin doctors will be working overtime to cover it. One thing may come out of this Presidential campaign: Don’t throw your hat in the ring early, you’ll regret it. I still haven’t decided who I think should win the nomination. I don’t know who is the biggest “fool” is yet. There are much better democrats out there who could do a better job campaigning than these two. Glad to see the party is so fouled up (the usual) that it can’t use them.

   “But that’s par for the course” indeed.

   In the Boston Globe (surprise), they quote the first part of Ayers’ statement, “I don’t regret setting bombs,” to hightlight the – ahem – “associations” Obama has, which might be seen as radical. Funny, though, how they omitted the “I feel we didn’t do enough” part.

   Then again, unrepentant likes attract likes.

    Sadly, this only makes the mutant kool-aide drinkers adore Obama even more. The media has shown once again how much they are in the tank for Hussein by attacking Gibson’s and Stephanopoulis’ mere act of asking pertinent questions. And all that is supposed to have a chilling effect on reporters who monitor debates down the road. With “journalists” like Olbermann and Matthews already fawning over Hussein, doesn’t seem like the elite media has the cojones or desire to rattle that Marxist’s cage.
    Also my understanding is that there is an arrest warrant out for Ayer’s wife, Dorhn. So why isn’t she arrested? Too hard to find? Why would a college even have Ayer’s as a professor? Oh, right- he spoke truth to power. Another hate America first ward churchill clone.

    In this recent revival of interest in Ayres, no one I saw brought up the occasion in 2005 when Ayers, his terrorist wife Bernadette Dohrn, and Obama all spoke at the farewell dinner for Rashid Khalidi. Were we supposed to be saving that for an October surprise? Will video surface? I didn’t get that memo yet…

    Andrew C. McCarthy wrote an article last week laying out some of Obama’s questionable relationships. Khalidi included. Within he mentions that as board members of the Woods Fund both Obama and Ayers voted to donate $75,000 to the Arab American Action Network (cofounded by Khalidi). It also demonstrates a connection between Khalidi and the PLO.

    -William Ayers is the son of Thomas Ayers, former Chairman and CEO of Commonwealth Edison, a 1960s-era radical and former member of the Weather Underground.
    -Bernardine Dohrn is a former leader of the 1960s radical leftist organization Weatherman.
    -Dohrn traveled to Cuba and met with representatives of the North Vietnamese and Cuban governments.
    -Dohrn is a principal signatory on the group’s “Declaration of a State of War” (1970) which formally declared war on the U.S. Government, and completed the group’s transformation from political advocacy to armed resistance. Dohrn also co-wrote and published the subversive manifesto Prairie Fire (1974), and participated in the covertly-filmed Underground (1976).
    -After the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, in which three members (Ted Gold, Terry Robbins, and Diana Oughton, who was William Ayers’ girlfriend at the time) were killed while constructing a nail bomb, all members of Weatherman went underground and the group took on its last and most famous title, the Weather Underground.
    -The Weathermen and Weather Underground were suspected in various bombings–police cars, the National Guard Association building, the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon. Dohrn allegedly participated in many of the group’s revolutionary activities.
    -While on the run from police, Dohrn and Ayers married and had two children, Zayd and Malik.
    -While some charges relating to their activities with the Weathermen were dropped due to governmental misconduct, Dohrn pled guilty to charges of aggravated battery and bail jumping, receiving probation.
    -She later served less than a year of jail time, after refusing to testify against ex-Weatherman Susan Rosenberg in an armed robbery case.
    -From 1984 to 1988, Dohrn was employed by the law firm Sidley Austin, although her criminal record has prevented her from being admitted to either the New York or Illinois bar.
    -In 1991, she became a Clinical Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University in Chicago.
    -She now serves on the board of numerous human rights committees and teaches comparative law.
    -Since 2002, she has served as Visiting Law Faculty at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam.
    In the 1980s William Ayers undertook graduate training in education and earned his doctorate in 1987.
    -He has edited and written many books and articles on education theory, policy and practice.
    -He was tapped by Mayor Richard M. Daley to shape Chicago’s now nationally-renowned school reform program.
    -Since 1999, he has served on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago, an anti-poverty philanthropic foundation, with United States Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
    -In 2001, Ayers published Fugitive Days: A Memoir. Ayers’s interview with the New York Times about his book was published on September 11, 2001, and opens with his statement, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”

    It seems that liberals and democrats alike have rewarded these two criminal enemies of America very generously.

    It’s amazing how much the white ’60s radicals got away with (did the Black Panthers and other black radicals get those kinds of breaks?). But as I told my mom recently, there’s a continuum from looking the other way or romanticizing the middle class domestic terrorists of the ’60s to the national pity party for the jihadist terrorists today.

    I read a book about Diana Oughton a long time ago, basically about how she went from being a nice girl next door to a ’60s idealist Peace Corps volunteer with designs on medical school to blowing herself to bits in Greenwich Village.

    The unfortunate truth is that Ayers is not simply tolerated and coddled by the left, he is idolized by them. The “silent left majority” is very much like the “silent moderate Islamist majority”. Just because they are not at this moment pulling triggers and detonating suicide belts doesn’t mean that they don’t want to. They do. They just don’t have the courage to do it.

    So instead, they are “revolutiary wannabes.” Wearing their Che T-shirts, pimping for Castro and Chavez. Fainting for Obama. It’s the least they can do for the revolutionary cause.

    I’ve thought about this. I remember seeing many PBS documentaries during my youth which portrayed the Weather Underground as “misunderstood heroes.”

    I believe that the 1988 River Phoenix movie, “Running on Empty” was another attempt to diffuse the criminal and treasonous behavior of liberals like William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn.

    It’s no surprise that liberals in positions of power, from Mayor Richard M.Daley (D) to Senator Barack Obama (D), have rewarded these two anti-American criminals very generously within their subcultures.

    I don’t understand something and I guess things have changed since I was in college. For some reason, I thought a college English class would prepare a student to write essays and papers that would prepare them to be proffesionals in their chosen vocation. At least, the ones that I took had that purpose.
    Somewhere in time, did teachers get in such short supply that they had to combine English, history, and political science classes together?

    How many people did Ayers kill? Is anyone even claiming that he did? Not even the FBI’s website says Ayers or the Weather Underground killed anyone in bombing them, and the folks that did kill in a robbery were arrested. Bombing a government building is wrong, of course, but is it as wrong than killing people? I mean, how is this not an unwarranted equivocation. People’s lives are worth more than government property. Unless Ayers did in fact kill someone, tax evaders would be a legitimate comparison. In fact, given the number of Weather underground bombings compared to the number of bombing casualties (over 25:0, according to the FBI, and not counting an accident that killed 3 of their own), I’d say that, unlike Rudolph, Ayers went out of his way not to kill.

    Rooster,

    No, I do not have any inside information. However, I don’t see how someone can set off 25+ bombs and not kill anyone without intending not to kill anyone. It’s possible that that they are just amazingly incompetent, but it seems more likely that their intent was not to kill. I should’ve said “I would say that it seems very very likely that…” rather than just “I’d…” As they went 0-for-25+ without killing anyone, they are either the least competent terrorists in all of history, or they really weren’t trying to kill anyone.

    CW.

    Property does not equal people. That’s all I’m saying. Murder is not morally equivalent to not-murder. I said that bombs that destroy government property with the intent not to kill are more like tax evasion than bombs that destroy peole. (1) Tax evaders deprive the government of that which by law belongs to the government. (2) The weather underground destroyed that which belongs to the government. (3) Eric Rudolph killed people. (2) is inarguably worse than (1) by degree, but it is an of an entirely different kind than (3).

    And you assume because I disagree with the logic of the post that I’m pro-abortion-clinic? Maybe I’m just pro-not equating property with human life. Bombing an abortion clinic without killing anyone, so long as the intent as carried out was not to kill, is considerably different than bombing an abortion clinic with indifference as to whether or not one kills or with intent to kill. If someone manages to bomb 25 abortion clinics without killing anyone, I think I’d say the same them as I would about Ayers. The issue is whether or not property = people.

    Also, the name-calling doesn’t contribute anything useful.

    see-dubya,

    I hadn’t seen the quotes vis-a-vis the Fort Dix plan in the link you provided. That actually does change the issue. He does seem pretty indifferent to not-killing, and this brings him morally a lot closer to Rudolph. Granted, he said this way after the fact, so it could just be posturing, but he does make himself out to be very anti-killing people.

    Still, property is worth less than people. The initial post still treats the destruction of buildings as equivalent to the destruction of people, so the post is still wrong in how it comes to its conclusion, even though Ayers is likely equivalent or nearly equivalent to Rudolph.

    See, if you deal with the issue at hand (as you did in your last comment) rather than just name-calling (as in your previous comment), you can actually get somewhere.

    Michelle, nail on head:
    

    this is bigger than Obama.

    In fact, this is bigger than the Chicago liberal elite embracing radicalism, it simply reflects a worldview of all the leftists in this country. To paraphrase Jeane Kirkpatrick, it’s the “Hate America First” crowd. There is something deep within their souls that will not allow them to cherish their country. As a child of the 60′s and 70′s whose father and 5 uncles all fought in Vietnam, I believe the “hate America” attitude gained purchase during that period and it has been relentless ever since. President Reagan gave significant pushback to that viewpoint but the leftists have used Iraq to leverage themselves back in a dominant position. To preserve this nation, in light of the Obama-Ayers relationship (among a host of other reasons), it is clear that Obama must be defeated in the upcoming election.

    One should notice a key difference between these old 60s/70s lefty radicals and the hard-Right ones; the Lefties had very wealthy families who didn’t throw them to the dogs when the FBI and DOJ came knocking.

    This in turn exposes a systematic defect of the American justice system; regardless of the crime, if you have enough money and influence behind you, you will rarely pay full price via the System.

    “Full price” is only via extra-legal methods, usually a jailhouse murder or a lynch-mob.

    How in bloody hell can anyone with half a brain think that 25 bombings are not so bad because no one was killed. I can imagine me planting bombs to blow up schools when they are likely to be empty or going outside on an overpass and just firing a gun or tossing a rock onto traffic. Ayers and his crew should have been locked away at hard labor for an eternity in some Alaskan wilderness. Liberals don’t want ANWR for any drilling. So make it a gulag for scum like Dorhn and Ayers, Rudolph, the Unambomber, Chas. Manson et al. The fact is that Michelle Obama and Hussein idolize and associate with all sorts of terrorists and hate america whack jobs and yet the cult of personality is blind to his character flaws and sheer incompetency. I have liberal women telling me about his “outstanding” books and how electing him POTUS would show the world how great America is. What total BS. We don’t need no stinkin’ affirmative action in the White House. It will be a sad day if this phony messiah gets the keys to the WH. And who give a good damn what the europussies want anyway? I just had a Canadian jackass tell me how great Canadian medical care is and how so many Americans flock there for treatment. My observations are that the Euros and Canadians are coming here for timely and competent Rx. So many revisionist facts out there. Yes, let’s reward the Weather Underground with prestigious academic professorships and enable more traitorous and seditious behavior.

    From See-Dubya’s link in post #49:
    

    “A substantial portion of Ayers’ book Fugitive Days discusses the author’s penchant for building and deploying explosives. Ayers boast that he “participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972.” Of the day he bombed the Pentagon, Ayers says, “Everything was absolutely ideal. … The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.”

    EVERYONE, please find/make the time to go to this link and read the entire article!

    Obama claims that “guilt by association” is wrong and that he should not be held accountable for associating with someone who committed crimes 40 years ago. Did he learn those values at church – the same church that condemns children for the sins of their slave owning fathers? Not only are the children condemned but also all those who share the same skin color with them even if their ancestors never owned slaves. All whites are quilty by association for crimes that occurred before they were born according to Obama’s spiritual mentor.

    The phrases “typical white person” and “rich white people” imply guilt by association and so does the concept of affirmative action, which is based on both guilt by association and victimhood by association. I wonder where Obama stands on affirmative action and reparations for slavery? A Google search brings up links that claim he is for them and others that claim he is against them. What a surprise! Does anyone really know what Obama stands for? Is it too much to hope he is willing to treat others like he wants to be treated?

    And finally, when Democrats in Idaho vote in their presidential primary next month — they will choose between Hillary Clinton — Barack Obama — and a federal prison inmate from Texas named Keith Russell Judd. The Idaho Statesman Newspaper reports Judd took advantage of a loophole in the rules — and got his name on the ballot by submitting a notarized form and paying a $1,000 fee. A recent change in state election law eliminated the requirement that used to mandate 3,000 signatures on a petition. Idaho’s secretary of state says, “We got conned.” A state party official says the situation is particularly bad since another qualified candidate for local office was kept off the ballot on a technicality. “It’s a mockery of the system,” he says. “We have this really good candidate who can’t get on the ballot, and this yahoo prisoner in Texas who coughs up $1,000 can.”

    Based on what we’ve seen of Obama and Clinton, maybe this guy needs looking into.

    Hamas suicide bombers attack Israel-Gaza crossing; 13 hurt

    Meanwhile, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter met with senior Hamas leaders in Damascus, Syria, for a second day to hear their views, defying U.S. and Israeli warnings that doing so would grant the group legitimacy. The U.S. and Israel have labeled Hamas a terrorist organization.

    Bill Ayers, his terrorist wife Bernadette Dohrn, and Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, as well as Eric Rudolph, all share one goal–to take us where do not want to go. Mrs. Barrack Hussein Obama said so. A few bombs here, a few over there and we Right Wing Radicals get uppity. But perhaps Senator Barrack Hussein Obama did us one favor-he dismantaled the Arkansas Power Machine and it is now safe to listen to Tammy Wynett. So we hicks in the sticks, typical white persons bitterly clinging to our God and Guns can all hold hands and sing God D–n the US of KKK-A in Church this morning. Or not.

    Rudolph and Ayers are unrepentant domestic terrorists. They are evil. Decent people detest them. And if someone were to take money from Eric Rudolph, or get a start in politics from an endorsement in Eric Rudolph’s home, if someone were chummy with Eric Rudolph and kept moving in the same circles with him, that person would rightly be detested as well.

    My sentiments exactly. Hit the nail on the head. Hole in one. Correctomundo.
