Obama and Ayers, the Terrorist.

[Lazarus]

For starters, consider Obama's friends and neighbors, William Ayers and
Bernardine Dohrn.

Ayers and Dohrn were leaders of the Weather Underground, a violent group of
radical Leftovers from the Revolutionary Youth Movement, a wing of Students
for a Democratic Society. Ayers and Dohrn split from the Maoist RYM, insisting
that a revolution against the United States and capitalists everywhere should
commence immediately.

In 1969, Ayers and Dohrn were founding signatories of the Weathermen's
declaration of unification with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other
"anti-colonial" vanguards, to ensure "the destruction of U.S. imperialism
and the achievement of a classless world: world Communism."

In 1970 the Weather Underground issued a "Declaration of a State of War"
against the United States and commenced a campaign of terror including
bombings, jailbreaks, and the instigation of riots. Between 1969 and 1975,
they bombed the U.S. Capitol twice, the Pentagon, the Department of State and
several federal courthouses. They also attacked state and local government
buildings and "capitalist targets" such as banks. The terrorist organization
began to disband after the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam and the fall of
Saigon, though one of their last acts of violence was a Brinks robbery in
1981, in which two police officers and a security guard were murdered during
that robbery.

Ayers and Dohrn scurried underground in 1970, after a bomb being constructed
in New York to kill Army officers at Fort Dix detonated prematurely, killing
three fellow Weathermen. (In the jargon of bomb technicians and investigators,
this is known as "self solving.")

They surrendered to authorities a decade later but were never prosecuted
because of "improper" FBI surveillance methods. Ayers is now a professor at
the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Dohrn is an associate professor
of law at Northwestern University. Isn't that special.

Asked about his association with Ayers, Obama said, "This is a guy who lives in
my neighborhood... who I know... He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on
a regular basis." So, he only exchanges ideas with him on an irregular basis?

Obama added the disclaimer that he was only eight years old when Ayers was
bombing buildings. However, Obama was 40 when an unrepentant Ayers told
The New York Times, "I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do
enough." (No small irony that interview was published on 11 September 2001.)

For her part, Dohrn once offered the following assessment of the Manson
family murders: "Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner
in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into [pregnant actress
Sharon Tate's] stomach! Wild!"

Nonetheless, Obama has maintained his association with Ayers and Dohrn,
and the connection goes quite a bit deeper than just neighborhood proximity.

Ayers and Dohrn actually hosted the party to launch Obama's successful
1996 Illinois State Senate campaign at their fashionable Hyde Park home,
a campaign endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America. Incidentally,
the DSA would later note in a newsletter that State Senator Obama gave the
eulogy for socialist Saul Mendelson, a "champion" of the "democratic left."

Obama and Ayers also served together on the Woods Fund board, which,
incidentally, awarded $6,000 to Obama's "pastor," Jeremiah Wright, noting
the grant was "in recognition of Barack Obama's contributions to Woods
Fund as a director." This is the same board that supports such anti-Semitic
organizations as the Arab-American Action Network.

A more in-depth look at Obama reveals he may indeed be a "hard-core academic
Marxist" as accused by his 2004 Senate campaign opponent, and sacrificial
lamb, Alan Keyes.

Obama admits to having attended "socialist conferences" as a "community
organizer" in Chicago in the late 1980s, where he broke bread with Democratic
Socialists of America lefties---also with full-circle connections to William
Ayers.

But that is hardly the extent of Obama's fascination with Marxist ideology.

According to my colleague, Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy in Media editor and
president of the UN watchdog group America's Survival, Obama was mentored
for most of his formative years by black radical Frank Marshall Davis, a
Communist Party USA member. Obama had "a close relationship, almost like a
son, with Davis," writes Kincaid.

In his book, Dreams from My Father, Obama refers to "Frank" repeatedly, and
said that Davis "and his old Black Power dashiki self" was still mentoring
him as late as 1979, when he was a student in California. Davis warned Obama
that college would give him "an advanced degree in compromise" and not to
"start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American
way and all that s**t."

Kincaid notes that a CPUSA devotee recently said of Obama's political fortunes,
"Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who
sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his
movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary 'mole,' not only
showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through."

Obama's record speaks for itself. In 2006, Senator Obama campaigned for
the re-election of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who openly lists his
party affiliation as "Socialist." Sanders applauded freshman Sen. Obama as
"one of the great leaders of the United States Senate," and understandably
so. Last year, National Journal, which rates members of Congress strictly
by their voting records, ranked Obama as the single most liberal member of
the Senate---a remarkable "achievement," given the Socialist bona fides of
the aforementioned Sanders.

When questioned why he refuses to wear an American flag on his lapel,
Obama said, "I won't wear it on my chest. It's a substitute for... true
patriotism. You show your patriotism by being true to our values and ideals."

No doubt, the true colors of Obama's "values and ideals" are bright red.

Laz,
Did you write this or is this from another publication? If you didn't write it you should really cite your source.

Obama added the disclaimer that he was only eight years old when Ayers was
bombing buildings.

I watched an interview of Obama by Chris Wallace today, Wallace asked him about Ayers, he said he was only 5 or 6 at the time Ayers was doing the bombings. He just keeps getting younger and younger.

Obama is clearly a radical Marxist to anyone paying even a little bit of attention.

[Lazarus]

Raymondo. Quite right....it was sent to me and I needed to track down the original source.

Hama's Hanyeh sees him as friendly to their cause also... not quite an endorsement, but on a radio interview the Hamas Prime Minister( can terrorists have PM's?) stated they would like to see him as the next president, and think he would be good for the American People. Of course Obama would be great for Iran and its puppets, Obama has promised unconditional talks with Iran if he became POTUS.
Take it for what its worth- but if terrorist organizations around the world like you- that has got to be a sign. Not a very good sign for Americans, but a sign none the less....

[flatfloor]

Laz, rather than print out these long articles we ask everyone to please just post a link to them. Thanks.

[Lazarus]

Jim...I normally would have done that, but it came to my inbox...and I had no immediate way to link it.

For her part, Dohrn once offered the following assessment of the Manson
family murders: "Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner

Would any of you hang around someone who had EVER made a statement like that? Whether they said it when you were 5 or 6 or 8 or 38? What a real sleaze bag this woman is.

Here's another gem of information about this piece of human waste. Broadway Babies.

What really kills me is these two idiots (Ayers and Dohrn) are tenured professors. If that isn't a testimony as to the state of modern liberalism, I don't know what is. How could two "former" terrorists ever become tenured professors at an institute of "higher" learning, with a past like that?

Here's a quote from Ayers from this month:

Capitalism played its role historically and is exhausted as a force for progress: built on exploitation, theft, conquest, war, and racism, capitalism and imperialism must be defeated and a world revolution—a revolution against war and racism and materialism, a revolution based on human solidarity and love, cooperation and the common good—must win.

Soooo, did this moron hum Kumbaya while he was setting bombs off at the Pentagon, and other places?

[HS345]

Show me who you roll with, and I'll know what kinda person you are.

Obama not wanting to wear a flag pin, or place his hand over his heart during the national anthem comes a little more into focus, doesn't it?

Here's a pic of Obama's buddy, William Ayers.

[e3]

it has been proven that both of those claims about Obama were false.(the pin and his hand over his heart)

[HS345]

Sorry Eric, wrong.

[sandbagger]

in one of Obama's books he clearly describes how he intentionally aligned himself with the most radical elements of the student body back in his college days. Guilt by association? Well, there's clearly a pattern of association.

very intresting!!!

Art,
Which book is that? From your phrasing, I'm getting that this is hear-say which you are passing along. If you could please cite tile and page, that might make your point more credible. I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't true. I'm just saying that your delivery invites doubt, and that's damaging to your cause.

[sandbagger]

not hearsay, Shaughnn, but Obama's own words. Hugh Hewitt played a number of excerpts from the audio version of the book - read by Obama himself. I believe it was "Dreams from My Father," but I'll have to see if I can find the transcript. Unfortunately that as about a month ago, so I'll have to do some digging and that will have to wait. Hewitt played the clip several times, so I have not doubt it's there.
