That would be the talking point many respond with when Barack Obama’s relationship to William Ayers is brought up. Other strategies would include minimizing what Ayers, his wife Bernadine Dohrn and the Weatherman actually did ……

How can you assume he was rehabilitated if you didn’t know what he did?

Very good point!

It seems that Sen. Obama has changed his story from, “he’s just some guy in my neighborhood”, to a general I didn’t know. Now changed to “I thought he was rehabilitated”. Logically, it follows that he knew what he did in order for him to be considered rehabilitated.

To Sen. Obama,

Where you lying then, sir? Or are you lying now?

Unlike so many, Ayers will not go quietly under the bus. I imagine he has plenty on Obama and he’s willing to use it if double-crossed. Obama will have to try to keep a lid on this until after the election and then he’ll quietly utilize Ayers and his ideas and make certain grants and earmarks go to Ayers’ favorite projects.
I think Obama got in over his head with this relationship and he’s up against the wall. Obama should be afraid, be very afraid..to paraphrase Elmer Fudd. Ayers is going to demand reparations.

Abso-FRIGGIN-lutely scary.

May God have mercy on us all.

Will Obama name Ayers to be Secretary of Education?

DING,DING,DING,DING,DING,DING,DING,DING,DING!
We have a winner.

That is the scariest part of why this association truly matters.

Excellent post. Dead-on right.

Ayers still adheres to the radical ideology that he had in the seventies.

Move the focus from the personalities of Ayers and Dohrn to what was actually done at the CAC.

so how old was BO in 1998?

He takes a documentary on Ayers — in which the terrorist Ayers lovingly explains his IED building skills — and adds in some editorial juxtapositions. Read him. Here’s the vid, which I’m stealing myself because it’s important and because he……

The Weather Underground, part one of nine. Oscar-nominated 2004.

WOW! Thanks for linking that! Everyone needs to send this out. It really, really puts in perspective the mindset of Ayers and Dohrn. They are extremely radical, and appear to still be that way. So much that it is evident in their speech. “Comrade”, “bourgeois”, “collectives”, and on and on. Radical communists that were in their own words, “plotting the violent overthrow of the government of the United States.”

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.

I can’t believe Sen. Obama could very well be elected President when he would not be able to pass ANY security clearance investigation.

That’s what Michelle more or less said on Larry King…Oh well you can’t work in education in Chicago without coming across Ayers,

That may be true, but Obama didn’t have to work on Education. Furthermore, there was a battle going on bettween Daly and Ayres at that time. Obama could have worked with Daley. Even so, there was no reason in particular Obama had to work on education. It wasn’t his area of expertise. Obviously.

Which leads me to my final question. Will someone besides Drew Griffin now press Obama on what the CAC funded? It was a failure that gave money to ACORN and Klonsky. Now that it’s out in the open, will reporters ask him about his very relevant executive experience? Please!!

Do you have any resources for this?

He also needs to hit this Ayers connection hard.

He finally need to show that Obama was a member of the Socialist New Party.

This is about our only hope for winning.
