Barack and Michelle and Bill and Bernardine: The Obama/Weather Underground compendium

The blogosphere and talk radio are turning up the heat on the Obamas’ cozy relations with Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

Hugh Hewitt and Power Line have 2007 audio of the America-bashing WU terrorists, dug up by Guy Benson of WYLL’s The Sandy Rios Show (Update: More from Benson at Power Line here.)

Erick Stakelbeck compiles archival video of the couple’s left-wing diatribes.

John Kass has a Chicago Trib column today recounting Dohrn’s role in the Broadway Baby boutique customer ID theft scam that abetted terrorism.

Rezko Watch (see also here) has a link-rich chronicle of the Obama/WU story.

Ed Morrissey explains why this matters. Allahpundit’s got vid of McCain taking on the story and background WU vid here.

Rick Moran reviews the MSM coverage to date and sums up the key facts:

There’s more to this relationship than Ayers simply being a “guy who lives in my neighborhood.” The two were introduced back in 1995 when Obama was presented by outgoing state senator Alice Palmer to Ayers and other far left activists in the University Chicago neighborhood of Hyde Park at Ayers house…RezkoWatch reports on 2 other forums where we know Obama and Ayers participated:

Wondering whether the three may have crossed paths is not speculation. It is a fact that they have. Ayers, Dohrn, and Obama have appeared together at a number of gatherings and academic events. In November 1997, Ayers and Obama participated in a panel at the University of Chicago entitled Should a child ever be called a “super predator?” to debate “the merits of the juvenile justice system”.

In April 2002, Ayers, Dohrn, and Obama, then an Illinois State Senator, participated together at a conference entitled “Intellectuals: Who Needs Them?” sponsored by The Center for Public Intellectuals and the University of Illinois-Chicago. Ayers and Obama were two of the six members of the “Intellectuals in Times of Crisis” panel.

And Campus Watch reports on a farewell dinner for the radical Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi, who was leaving the Arab American Action Network to take the Edward Said endowed chair at Colombia University, where Obama, Ayers, and Dohrn all gave glowing testimonials to Khalidi – whose group received $75,000 from the Woods Foundation

In bringing professor Khalidi to Morningside Heights from the University of Chicago, Columbia also got itself a twofer of Palestinian activism and advocacy. Mr. Khalidi’s wife, Mona, who also served in Beirut as chief editor of the English section of the WAFA press agency, was hired as dean of foreign students at Columbia’s SIPA, working under Dean Anderson. In Chicago, the Khalidis founded the Arab American Action Network, and Mona Khalidi served as its president. A big farewell dinner was held in their honor by AAAN with a commemorative book filled with testimonials from their friends and political allies. These included the left wing anti-war group Not In My Name, the Electronic Intifada, and the ex-Weatherman domestic terrorists Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers. (There were also testimonials from then-state Senator Barack Obama and the mayor of Chicago.)

This information along with the fact that Obama served with Ayers on the Board of the Woods Foundation, gives the lie to Obama’s claim that he doesn’t know Ayers very well. And both of those forums at U of C were set up by none other than Michelle Obama in her capacity as University of Chcago PR executive; evidently she too saw nothing wrong in glad handing with terrorists.

It is beyond belief that the press is just now getting around to this, the most incredible of all Obama radical associations. And the scary thought is that it will change few minds about Obama and his hypocritical brand of “new politics.”

Andy McCarthy penetrates Obama’s moral myopia:

Here in 2008, the point is not that we should hold Obama accountable for “detestable acts” Ayers committed decades ago.

It’s that the vision which drove Ayers to savagery back then — a revolutionary vision “progressives” have vaporously relabeled “social justice” — is the same vision to which he still clings: the vision of a racist, imperious, exploitative America in need of upheaval. A vision we have every reason to think Obama, the Agent of Change, shares.

In the alternative, you could, I suppose, just tell yourself that Obama — a star at Harvard Law School who has risen like a meteor to a seat in the United States Senate and the verge of his party’s presidential nomination — somehow managed the feat despite being utterly clueless. Perhaps he looks at Ayers and really does see an English teacher, looks at Wright and sees only your average Christian pastor.

The question then becomes, are you comfortable with a president who looks at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and thinks, “Oh yeah, he’s that engineering student who was mayor of Tehran”?

See-Dubya’s handy guide to which terrorists support which Dem candidates is so good, I’m reprinting it here:

And to round out the profile of Ayers and Dohrn, here’s a flashback to my 2002 column on radical red diaper baby Chesa Boudin, to whom the terrorist couple have served as legal guardians. The apple doesn’t fall far from the rotted tree:

Being the child of left-wing domestic terrorists means never having to say you’re sorry.

Such is the case of young Chesa Boudin, hailed on the front page of the New York Times this week for overcoming “striking challenges” and lifelong suffering to win a prestigious Rhodes scholarship. In a lengthy tear-jerker profile, Boudin is elevated to hero status as the article details his childhood bouts with epilepsy, dyslexia, and “temper tantrums,” before going on to Yale, traveling the world, and hitting the lecture circuit to exploit his celebrity status.

Boudin is the son of Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, members of the militant Weathermen. They’re the 1960s group of rich-kid radicals who bombed government buildings and corporate headquarters, aided convicted felons in jail breaks, and participated in a 1981 Brinks’ armored car holdup in Nyack, N.Y., that took the lives of three innocent Americans in the name of “peace.” Boudin’s mother and father were convicted for their participation in the Nyack murders and armed robbery, and remain remorselessly in prison today.

Two of the holdup victims gunned down in the botched Brinks’ robbery were police officers. One was a private security guard. All three were veterans from working-class backgrounds. Neither the Times nor any other media outlet that has breathlessly reported on Boudin’s Rhodes scholarship win has even seen fit to print the names of the Nyack victims: Waverly Brown, Edward O’Grady, and Peter Paige.

What about the “striking challenges” faced by these three officers’ children, who were robbed of their fathers forever and have never enjoyed the privileged lifestyle of a radical son like Chesa Boudin? Brown, who served in the Air Force after the Korean War, had two grown daughters and a teenage son. O’Grady, who served in the Marines and did two tours of duty in Vietnam, left behind a wife and three children – 6, 2, and 6 months old. Paige, a Navy veteran, also left behind a wife and three kids – 19, 16, and 9.

On the matter of their suffering and hardships, Chesa Boudin and his fawning interviewers are silent.

Chesa Boudin’s indifference to the victims of his parents’ ideological jihad was reinforced by his adoptive parents–unrepentant Weathermen colleagues Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers celebrated bombing the Pentagon in his recent radical memoir, “Fugitive Days,” and now teaches at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Dohrn declared war on “Amerikka,” helped stage the “Days of Rage” in Chicago, when Weathermen blew up a memorial statue to police officers and rioted violently, leaving 75 policemen wounded and one permanently injured in a wheelchair, and then spent years as a fugitive from justice before settling into a comfy post as director of the Legal Clinic’s Children and Family Justice Center at Northwestern University.

From both his biological and adoptive parents, Chesa Boudin has learned to stew in the indignant self-pity of Marxist leftovers. “When I was younger, I was angry,” the 22-year-old told his sympathetic Times interviewer. “Now I’m not angry. I’m sad that my parents have to suffer what they have to suffer on a daily basis, that millions of other people have to suffer as well.”

Boudin is not talking about the families of victims who died as a result of Weathermen-sponsored violence. No, Boudin is talking about “urban misery in Bolivia, homelessness in Santiago and illiteracy in Guatemala.” Praised by the p.c.-infected Rhodes scholarship committee for his “passion” and willingness to “fight the world’s fight,” Boudin stands by the Weathermen’s revolutionary agenda: “My parents were all dedicated to fighting U.S. imperialism around the world. I’m dedicated to the same thing.”

Cecil Rhodes must be turning in his grave. So, too, Waverly Brown, Edward O’Grady, and Peter Paige. What to do? While the Rhodes trustees lavish money on the red-diaper baby Boudin, there is a tiny fund to honor the officers who died in the brutal crime involving Boudin’s parents. The O’Grady Brown Memorial Scholarship Fund helps deserving Rockland County, N.Y., students pursuing careers of public service in law enforcement. Checks can be made payable to: O’Grady-Brown Memorial Scholarship Fund, Inc., P.O. Box 1024, Nyack, NY 10960.

    The Bush cronies and incompetents get bashed here pretty regularly for good reason, but I think people who actively hate America would be far worse.

    As it happens, the Washington Post has a blog post on Obama’s advisers. They seem to be distinguished people with strong reputations in their fields. Have a look and see what you can dig up on them.

    Please stop with the hate America line for whatever Democrat has annoyed you today.

    I think you are lowering the bar again, LGM. Just because these buffoons were just fine and dandy with some right-wingers, doesn’t mean Obama shouldn’t start showing better judgement with his associations. He is supposed to be about CHANGE remember. Regulus has the only clear headed points on this thread.

    Right_on, you are dead wrong. Obama can’t be held accountable for the America haters he hangs with.

    Uh, really? Does the old saying “Birds of a feather, flock together” ring a bell? I didn’t come up with that. How about, “A man is known by the company he keeps.” Didn’t come up with that one, either. “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” Not mine.

    You can assume anything you want about Obama, and if you make those assumptions without knowledge about “the man,” I would venture a guess that you would be, as you say, dead wrong in most of those assumptions.

    I have lived long enough to know that if it smells like a pig, looks like a pig, and sounds like a pig, it most likely IS a pig, even though I wish it were something more attractive. Nice try LC.

    This post is waaayyyy too logical to get any support here.

    If I may, let me just add that you can’t have it both ways. Either you believe that Obama spent two decades consorting with racists at his Christian church, or you believe he’s a covert Muslim operative. Pick your delusional fantasy, because you can’t have both.

    Yes, it does. And you know what sort of flocking I find far more troubling than sharing a stage with a terrorist? Doing business with them — as a family, no less. (see Bin Laden Family Could Profit From a Jump In Defense Spending Due to Ties to U.S. Bank , WSJ, 9.28.01). If you’re going to be up-in-arms about associating with terrorists, I’d be a little more upset about the well-established business dealings of the Bush family with the bin Ladens than the conspiracy theory-esq conjecture about Obama going on here.

    Please, do enlighten us! Proof, please, not assumptions. Just because you liberals say it, and in your hearts HOPE that it is true, that does not make it true, and in my mind, even discussing. You give me unadulterated proof, and show me that it is prosecutable, and I’ll listen, otherwise, keep your fantasies to yourself. I’m not interested. And by the way, I’m not “up in arms” about terrorist associations, just leery of a man whom we know nothing about.

    Don’t conservative hard-liners have a problem with the Bush/Bin-Laden family connections? Hannity and Beck laugh it off when asked on the radio. I’ve never understood why this never bothered people on the right. I’ll bet my kid’s eyes that Bin-Laden is captured or killed in the first term after Bush leaves office.

    Agreed. It was tiresome the first twenty-seven thousand times the left said it. What’s more – it didn’t work then, as President Bush was handily reelected, so what use is there for them to bring it back up now?

    Your list is not as sorry as you are. . .why don’t you take the next step and actually run down the transgressions of these folks? We are dying to peer deeper into the liberal mind. I’m surprised you didn’t list Halliburton or Big Oil on your long and sorry list.

    Could it be worse than Brown, Gonzalez, Rumsfeld, Rove, Whitman (”the 9/11 air is safe”), Robert Coughlin, Alfonso Jackson, Monica Goodling, …. (a long and sorry list)?

    What are the crimes here? Cronyism? “Warmongering”? “Stolen Election”ism? Are you just pissed and feeling inadequate because Rummy is 75 and could still kick your ass?

    I’m no fan of Whitman, but I’m not buying into the psychosomatic WTC illness business. Just another false syndrome cooked up by lawyers and a hypochondriac society.

    I admit I had to look up some of the names on Wikipedia, since some are so trivial and obscure, but I bet you are going to fill us in on how BIG these “scandals” are going to be, right?

    Rewarding suicide bombers. Again, we should invade Iran tomorrow if that’s the criteria.

    WMD infrastructure: You’ll admit as Bush has that there are no WMDs. Infrastructure, well I guess we’ll be invading Iran and N. Korea tomorrow.

    Shooting at our planes: I guess we’ll be invading Iran tomorrow. As far as Iraq doing that under Hussein, prove it.

    Clarke was right, Bush and Cheney always wanted to invade Iraq, and 9/11 just gave him his flimsy reason for it.

    No big deal though right, it’s just American blood being spilt to help Bush settle grudges, and Cheney’s “former” business associates to hit paydirt.

    Don’t tell me about patience, based on your phony criteria Iran should have been invaded months-if not a couple, three years ago. I guess Bush wants to salvage what’s left of his garbage of a legacy.

    Nyk…

    Are you suggesting that a WSJ article is proof of some kind of wrong-doing? If that is the criteria for making accusations, then may God help us.

    The fact that one family knows members of another family is not proof of wrong-doing, is it?

    I never said anything about your assertion being made up, I asked you to show me proof of some kind of wrong doing, and you can’t. It is wishful thinking by the meek who can’t follow logic without getting emotional, and make stupid allegations like…”yeah, well, so and so did it, too.” or “so and so is just as bad,” etc. etc. etc.

    I don’t believe the Bush family, nor any conservative I’ve heard address terrorism, for that matter, ever have anything but condemnation for UBL. I don’t know any conservative who has, or has ever said we should cozy up to terrorists, have you? OBAMA has associations with some, does he not?

    since I sensed this accusation of “making it up” would be hurled.

    And I had stated earlier…

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_no-fly_zones

    December 1998, Iraq announced it would no longer respect the no-fly zones and resumed its efforts in shooting down Allied aircraft. Saddam Hussein offered a $14,000 reward to anyone who could accomplish this task, but no manned aircraft were ever shot down by Iraq. Air strikes by the British and Americans against Iraqi claimed anti-aircraft and military targets continued weekly over the next few years.

    Gotta love history. I remember this first hand since I lived next to an Air Force base (Elmendorf) and joked about it with my fellow soldiers. Saddam failed miserably.

    Get a VP who appeals to that base. Next, turn McCain into the 3rd Bush brother, with a 3rd Bush term with his tax and economic policies and warhawk mentality. Embracing environmental sensitive ideas won’t be enough to clean the Bush funk off of him. There is still a long way to go, and a lot of the Obama stuff is hitting too early.

    See. It all makes sense if you just presume he is a closeted Muslim who uses evil Muslim deception to make us believe he is a racist Christian to throw us all off the trail while he plots his overthrow of the US. And any evidence to the contrary (like eating ham or attending a Christian church for 20 years) is just more Muslim trickery.
