Unrepentant, anti-capitalist terrorist cashes in

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 12, 2008 10:03 PM

Weather Underground bomber Bill Ayers is a busy bee.

The violence-embracing Marxist is on the lecture and media circuit, hawking his repackaged memoir, promoting a new book on race, and basking in all the post-Obama victory attention.

He’ll be at Georgetown Law School on Monday and at a book-signing at Busboys & Poets at 14th and V St in Washington DC on Monday night at 6:30PM.

God damn America, eh, Billy boy?

Ron Radosh at PJM gives Ayers a proper roasting:

Today is the publication date of the new edition of his book Fugitive Days, and now that the election is over, Ayers has chosen to speak out in his own defense in the pages of a democratic socialist newsweekly, In These Times.

By choosing this vehicle, Ayers is skillfully engaging in his own sanitized rewriting of history. His effort is to paint himself as just another honest dissenter, a man whose valiant socialist principles have caused the media to unfairly demonize him as a terrorist. All he did in his memoir, he writes, is to go back to those “exhilarating and difficult years of resistance against the American war in Vietnam.”

I have already on this site linked to my review of Ayers memoir. But anyone who actually reads it knows immediately that what he is defending is not opposition to the Vietnam War, but his own and his comrade’s record of terrorism. There were thousands of patriotic Americans who opposed that war — a miniscule minority supported or endorsed the actions of the Weatherman faction of SDS and the bombing campaign they undertook when they went underground. Indeed, most of the mainstream cadre of the organization viewed Ayers and his group as a force that undermined their own credibility and helped to isolate what they hoped was a genuine peace movement.

Ayers’ new apologia is, as one reads it, completely amazing in his disingenuous argument. He was active, he writes, at “a time when the world was in flames, revolution was in the air, and the serial assassinations of black leaders disrupted our utopian dreams.” Let us look at the last claim. Was he eluding to Martin Luther King, Jr. as one of those black leaders? If so, all one has to do is recall that Ayers and company, who supported “black power” and not non-violent resistance to segregation, considered King an Uncle Tom, and regularly blasted him as a sell-out. As for the assassination of blacks, one of the offshoots of his own group killed a black policeman in the Brinks robbery, and another killed a black school superintendent in Oakland, California. And of course, the Weather Underground saw Huey Newton’s gang of thugs, The Black Panther Party, as the vanguard of the revolution, and declared their own support for their activities. Newton killed plenty of blacks who opposed him, as well as others in gang wars over drugs.

Now, as a would-be good plain democrat, he has the chutzpah to complain of how the media has unfairly tried to paint him as “un-American, alien, linked to radical ideas, a closet terrorist….”
You get the idea. Perhaps it had something to do with the photo he posed for tramping an American flag underfoot, his open espousal of the glories of bombing in his memoir, and his espousing revolutionary socialism as his goal in his two year old interview. The late Irving Howe once said that Tom Hayden “gave opportunism a bad name.” I would revise that estimate, and give that award to Ayers.

    Oh, the irony.

    Ayers’ words and actions are well beyond “free speech.” Treason is NOT free speech. Attempted murder is NOT free speech. Why doesn’t this man just crawl back under his rock and GO AWAY? He’s only a legend in his own mind.

    1. Now stop that. This holds as much water as an argument that you do not have to pay taxes because you are convinced the 16th Amendment was a bad idea. Honestly putting it this way just alienates people and undermines serious opposition to Obama. If anyone has a credible case with evidence or a case that stands up in court to make Obama produce evidence then go for it. Otherwise spare the bandwidth. And BTW it is very poor form to abuse our Host by pasting a long document that could be linked to.
    2. My sympathies but the real work is to get control of the State government in Illinois and then wean Mr Ayers off of the taxpayers teat.
    3. Because he hasn’t been convicted in a court of law. That is what the Constitution says and I swore an oath about it.

    Look guys I agree with what I believe to be your goals but we don’t do ourselves any good if we just sound angry and anything that sounds like violence is right out.

    Oh no, of course this would never happen to these pieces of trash. They’re put on a pedestal by the left! They’re heroes! Now, if these two were Republicans, well…they probably would’ve been “taken care of” a long time ago.

    Just remember, our president elect started his career in their living room.

    Sorry, but it’s really hard for me to call him “my president”.

    Actually, it was – and still is – a valid question, Life O’Da Mind. The only legal question is who has the authority to force Obama to cough up his legal vault-copy birth certificate.

    The only basis the courts have given in refusing to advance this is that the parties bringing the suits don’t have the legal standing to ask for it to be produced. It’s extremely strange that the Governor of Hawaii has personally ordered it sealed. That Obama and the DNC are desperate not to have it made public is, to say the very least, odd. It should just be no problem.

    And BTW it is very poor form to abuse our Host by pasting a long document that could be linked to.

    Yup, I mentioned that above. Along with being disrespectful, it’s a diversion from the the topic at hand.

    The law in Hawaii is clear, it can’t be revealed unless the person makes it available. The Governor simply noted that unlike Ohio, people here wouldn’t go poking around illegally. Should he cough it up – I think so, but it’s not the Govs fault the law is written the way it is.

    Actually, considering where the law school is located (not on the pretty campus in the posh neighborhood but rather down by Union Station) and taking into account that it is now dark at 6:30 pm, the answer is yes.

    Though it doesn’t have anything to do with him being a reformed 60’s social activist and current education expert.

    The left consistently use the system to their advantage. The courts, free speech, and they have most of the media in their pocket. Their tactic #1 seems to be , when they do something wrong or underhanded the first thing is to lie and accuse someone on the right of doing just that. Bill Clinton was a master at it and of course Obama has most of his staff in his new path for America. Notice Obama ran on tax cuts for the middle class, isn’t even in office and is saying because of the economy being bad it will take a while. The media picked it up , ran a pol and of course the sheep don’t mind. He is setting the stage.
    If we are going win , play for the long haul, put impulse on hold, and everyone play the game to advantage. Use the Courts, friendly media, and get those idiots in the RNC to embrace conservative principles. Look to the Governors and watch what they do and support where they go as a start.

    I cant really argue so much with the statement. But I see it as at least a point of contention and suspicion.

    If you were a manager for a bank, and a convicted thief came into your bank asking for a job…would you trust him? Reformed or not?

    I suppose thats my point with Ayers, that i was making with MJ before…that regardless of how they are now, their past and their activities (both previous and current) cast doubt on them.

    To often we use the word “traitor” far too loosely. You see people write that Obama, Murtha, Bush, Cheney, Schumer, Clinton, etc. etc. is a traitor.

    I do not like that, because it ends up confusing things when a REAL traitor appears.

    Ayers and his wife are the real deal and fit the description of a traitor. They are peole who wear rings made from shot down US aircraft. The celebrated the loss of Vietnam. They visited North Vietnam. They gave aid and comfort to that nemy. They have attacked U.S. government buildings and have killed and attempted to kill.

    I find it interesting that our military is continually accused of atrocities. If they were the cold-blooded killers the Daily Kos crowd and John Murtha describe, Ayers and his wife would have been wasted long ago.

    I hope I’m not the only one concerned about Obama’s plan for a compulsory service ‘civil defense’ force for people 18 to 25. Gives me a creepy feeling for the “H” word, and his praetorian guard, the SS

    The H word is all wrong, of course. Obama was a student of Alinsky, a Marxist, and launched his political career from the home of communist terrorists Ayers and Dohrn. And we can track Obama’s political legacy back to George McGovern, who was a campaign staffer for Henry Wallace, who visited the USSR in the 1930s, even saw the gulags, and still fell in love with Soviet Communism. Wallace split from the Democrats in 1948 and ran on the pro-Soviet “Progressive Party” ticket, because he opposed Harry Truman’s opposition to Communist expansion.

    So I’m thinking the “S” word. And it has symmetry. Walter Duranty wrote glowing articles about the Soviet Union in the 30s and 40s for the New York Times, and the Times and its brethren still cheerlead for our new leader. Getting back to the “H” word, which, again, is inappropriate, and The One’s new civilian army, something I found on the internet:

    It will be interesting to see how this develops. In the late 1930’s The German National Socialists Workers Party, controlled the entire population of Germany of 78,000,000, with only about 80,000 Gestapo and SS. The Sr. Officers of the regular military at that time, again, were controlled by the SS.

    They were effective at controlling, without computer databases, just paper files and telephones and internal police 78 Million Germans using only 1/10 of 1% of the population, as a highly motivated, internal secret police force, answerable only to “the one”.

    IIRC, Georgetown is run by Jesuits, an order of Catholic priests who consider themselves the intellectuals of the Church, and embraced Marxism in the 60s and 70s. A Jesuit served in the Sandanista government in the 1980s as a top advisor to Daniel Ortega-Saavedra, and the Reverend Bob Drinan, SJ, served as an ultra-lefty Congressman from Massachusetts until Pope John Paul II gave him the choice of not running again or continuing to serve in the priesthood. I’m amazed he chose to leave Congress.

    JPII tried to reign in the Jesuits, but while the Pope is head of the Catholic church, he doesn’t control everything within the vast reach of the church.

    I won’t agree or disagree with what you say about the Jesuit order in general, but having gone to a Jesuit undergrad and then Georgetown Law, I can tell you the Jesuits have little, if anything to do with the law school. They all stay up on the main campus.

    There was, as I recall only one Jesuit professor at the law school when I was there, the now-departed Father Drinan, who interestingly was the only member of Congress who was also a priest. His old seat now belongs to Barney Frank.

    But still this is again a sad commentary on modern day America that this turd is a college professor, and has the audacity to actually appear in public at a book signing.

    I hope he lands in my area to do a book signing. I’ll buy his book, and place a nice little note to him where I want him to sign, expressing my First Amendment right to tell him what I think of him. He could then keep his disgusting book.

    I had the displeasure of reading Ayers’ and Dohrn’s diatribe, Prairie Fire. While they wrote this ode to Marxism and armed insurrection against the US back in 1974, they republished their work in 2006 in a book entitled Sing A Battle Song. In their forewords to the 2006 renewal of their 70’s views on the world, Ayers and Dorhn proved that they have no regrets for their acts and that they continue to believe our Constitution needs to be destroyed and replaced with a Communist foundation.

    Wade Rathke, the founder of ACORN, is an Ayers and Dohrn minion from their Weather Underground/Students for a Democratic Society days. As is the founder of the Tides Foundation, Drummond Pike.

    Ayers, Dohrn and company never ended their quest to destroy the US; they merely changed their tactics. And we have just seen the culmination of their deeds via the Presidential election. If Obama succeeds in forming his “civilian security force”, the Rubicon will have been breached, and our survival as a constitutional republic will be a grim prospect indeed.

    Perhapd Fact Check needs to consult with Obama’s new COS, who made it pretty clear this was not the case.

    And if that is not convincing enough, break down Obama’s words into their component paarts. His Peace Corps discussion was in addition to, and not included in, his discussions regarding his civilian security force.

    A 3 to 4 month basic training? Basic training in the military is only 6 weeks long. Perhps they need the additional time to run the type of “diversity” programs we saw at the University of Delaware (white=racist).

    I don’t think Obama can get a super-majority of the states needed to repeal the 22nd amendment (term limits), but if he can get one justice onto the SCOTUS to replace one of the five that aren’t already partisan leftists (four Constitutionalists and Kennedy), I can see a declaration of emergency prior to the 2012 or 2016 elections, as needed, that delays indefintely the elections that would pass SCOTUS scrutiny.

    Alakska’s Senate seat may go Dem, Franken is stealing every vote he can in the Minnesota recount, the health of five men, in their fifties through seventies, may alone determine whether this country survives as a true representative democracy.

    You are most welcome. And it is also time to cll on Obama to reveal just who he is. We still know nothing about the man. But, what we do know about him would lead a reasonable person to conclude that he is a Marxist, through and through.

    Black liberation theology is Marxist in both its doctrine and approach. Obama spent over 20 years sitting in the congregation of such an organiztion, and did not find anything from his experience so objectionable that caused him to disassociate himself from Trinity Church.

    His associaations with Bill Ayers and ACORN are Marxist associations.

    A student of Alinsky? Marxist.

    His mentor in Hawaii, Frank Marshall Davis, was card-carrying member of the Communist Party. And it appears possible that Davis handed Obama off to Ayers for further development. Obama and Ayers were at Columbia at the same time. Obama moves to Chicago, of all places, after he graduates from Harvard. Bernardine Dohrn just happens to work at the law firm where Obama clerked one summer. The firm where he met his bride.

    All just a little too coincidental.
