Biden wheedles about “malarkey”
Stop smirking, smirky.
Joe Biden called Sarah Palin’s much-needed attacks on Barack Obama’s ties to Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers “malarkey.”
Yeah, “malarkey.”
Tell it to John Murtagh, Greasy Joe:
Today, John M. Murtagh made the following statement on Barack Obama’s relationship with William Ayers:
“When I was 9 years-old the Weather Underground, the terrorist group founded by Barack Obama’s friend William Ayers, firebombed my house. Barack Obama has dismissed concerns about his relationship with Ayers by noting that he was only a child when Ayers was planting bombs at the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol. But Ayers has never apologized for his crimes, he has reveled in them, expressing regret only for the fact that he didn’t do more.
“While Barack Obama once downplayed his relationship with Ayers, today his campaign took that deceit one step further. Barack Obama now denies he was even aware of his friend’s violent past when, in 1995, Ayers hosted a party launching Obama’s political career. Given Ayers’ celebrity status among the left, it’s difficult to believe. The question remains: what did Obama know, and when did he know it? When did Obama learn the truth about his friend? Barack Obama helped Ayers promote his book in 1997, served on charitable boards with him through 2002, and regularly exchanged emails and phone calls with him through 2005. At what point did Barack Obama discover that his friend was an unrepentant terrorist? And if he is so repulsed by the acts of terror committed by William Ayers, why did the relationship continue? Any honest accounting by Barack Obama will necessarily cast further doubt on his judgment and his fitness to serve as commander in chief.
“Barack Obama may have been a child when William Ayers was plotting attacks against U.S. targets — but I was one of those targets. Barack Obama’s friend tried to kill my family.”
In February 1970 John Murtagh’s father was a New York State Supreme Court justice presiding over the trial of the so-called “Panther 21,” members of the Black Panther Party indicted in a plot to bomb New York landmarks and department stores. Early on the morning of February 21, three gasoline-filled firebombs exploded at their home on the northern tip of Manhattan, two at the front door and the third tucked neatly under the gas tank of the family car. The same night, bombs were thrown at a police car in Manhattan and two military recruiting stations in Brooklyn. A few weeks after the attack, the New York contingent of the Weathermen blew themselves up making more bombs in a Greenwich Village townhouse. In late November that year, a letter to the Associated Press signed by Bernardine Dohrn, Ayers’s wife, promised more bombings.

On a lighter note: Joe Biden introduced as…John McCain.

well, i think Obamitler is lying, cause the attorneys for Bernadine Dohrn are the same attorneys that Michelle Obama worked for and isn’t that where Michelle Obama and Barry, met???? yeah, he had no idea.. right.. i am sorry, ain’t buyin’ that not one bit.
Is it true that Obama, Ayers and Malcolm X all live within a couple blocks of each other in Chicago?
If nothing else resonates with the media, just the fact that Obama lied about Ayers and said he only knew him in passing in the neighborhood and their kids went to school together should show what a creep Obama is. That was a proven lie. Of course, most people assume politicians lie, so what else is new…right? This is pathetic.

If you want a really good read – non-fiction – on the subject, try Richard Zacks The Pirate Coast; William Eaton, the hero of Derna, also figured prominently in the denouement of an old historical novel by Kenneth Roberts titled Lydia Bailey, which is chock full of other historical tidbits. It’s out of print last I checked (my copy is from 1963), but may still be hanging around the shelves of a public library somewhere.
Sorry. As you will learn in your new Mao re-education center, History books are the first to go.
Their younger years
I forwarded this to my democrat parents. I don’t expect them to change their vote, but I do expect them to think about this decision a bit more.
LMAO!
Obama knew -exactly- who Ayers was and what he did and what Ayers current feeling are with regard to his past actions.
It is in fact very likely that Obama supported what Ayers did. Why else would Obama associate with Ayers? Obama will deny it, but Obama -actions- speak louder than his lies.
That is true on so many points with Obama. His actions.
