The Ayers-Obama Media Primer
The Weathermen were not a 1960s group.
The Weathermen formed in 1969, declared war on “AmeriKKKa” (yes, that is where the popular spelling you hear in the rants of Rev. Jeremiah Wright and on left-wing political blogs comes from) in 1970, and carried out a string of attacks that finally ended with the arrests of the final remaining Weathermen, now called the May 19 Communist Movement, in 1985. One remaining Weatherman, Elizabeth Duke, is still a fugitive from the FBI and is considered armed and dangerous.
Calling the Weathermen a 60s terrorist group, when it did almost all of its bombing in the 1970s and 1980s, is as intellectually honest as calling Duran Duran a 50s rock and roll band because Simon Le Bon was born in 1958.
Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn are domestic terrorists.
They not an “anti-war activists” nor “radicals.” Activists and radicals organize protests and sit-ins and harass elected officials.
A person that uses a bomb instead of a ballot is a terrorist. A person that leads a group of individuals that likes to use bombs instead of ballets is a terrorist leader. As this particular group of terrorists waged war against their own country, they are called domestic terrorists.
Contrary to a meme being pushed by interested parties, the Weather Underground killed innocent people.
Brian V. McDonnell an officer with the San Francisco Police, was ripped apart by shrapnel Feb 16, 1970. He succumbed to his injuries two days later. Officer Robert Fogarty was permanently injured in the same blast. FBI mole Larry Grathwohl says Bill Ayers built the bomb, and that Bernadine Dohrn placed it on the station window ledge. Nyack, NY Police Officer Waverly Brown and Sergeant Ed O’Grady, along with Brinks guard Peter Paige, were killed in an armored car robbery that was a joint operation between the Weather Underground and elements of the Black Liberation Army in 1981.
In addition to their successful homicide bombings, the Weather Underground failed in several attempts at mass murder.
On March 6, 1970, a pipe-bomb being constructed in a Greenwich Village townhouse detonated, killing three Weathermen and causing two others to flee. Recovered amid the rumble were four 12″ dynamite-filled pipe-bombs and several fused eight-stick bundles of dynamite that had been destined for a non-commissioned officers dance that night at Fort Dix, NJ, targeting American soldiers and their civilian dates. The attack would likely have been the worst terrorist attack on American soil prior to Timothy McVeigh’s attack in Oklahoma City.
Lesser known mass murder attempts of the Weathermen that same year included the attempted bombing of the Detroit Police Officers’ Association, which Ayers wanted to occur when the building was fully occupied. An FBI mole within the Weathermen, Larry Grathwohl tipped police. A 13-stick bundle of dynamite was recovered and defused. A separate bombing targeting Detroit police foiled by Grathwohl involved 2 bombs, using 44 sticks of dynamite.
In 1984, Weathermen Susan Rosenberg and Linda Evans were arrested while transporting 740 pounds of explosives and a cache of almost two dozen weapons, including a submachine gun.
Barack Obama and Bill Ayers do not cross paths casually, but have a lucrative multi-decade relationship.
Barack Obama and Bill Ayers met no later than 1987, where the worked together in the Alliance for Better Chicago Schools. There is some speculation that Ayers and Obama may have met even earlier in New York, perhaps as far back as 1984, but that connection hasn’t been firmly established.
Ayers was instrumental in forming the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and arranged for Obama to be chairman of the Board of Directors over more qualified Board members. Obama returned the favor by funneling more than a million dollars in grants to Ayers’ Small School Workshop. Obama and Ayers served together for years on the Board of Directors of the Woods Fund. Obama was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Joyce Foundation, which may have influenced several grants made to Ayers.
Barack Obama “didnt know the history” of Bill Ayers’ and Bernadine Dohrn’s terrorist past when he kicked off his political career in their home in 1995.
Barack Obama has known Bill Ayers at least since 1987, and perhaps as far back as 1983-84. Bernardine Dohrn, once publicly labeled “the most dangerous woman in America” by none other than J. Edgar Hoover, was also well known as the inspiration for the 1988 movie Running on Empty. Subtle terrorists they were not.
Both Ayers and Dohrn were very well known throughout Chicago for their role in the “Days of Rage” riots and their terrorist leadership, and were minor celebrities among the radical leftist community Ayers, Dohrn, and Obama shared in Hyde Park.

What’s amazing to me is that Ayer’s degrees are in Early Childhood Education. Where I teach we have people seeking Associate degrees in EC Development who cannot even get a job in a daycare setting with so much as a traffic conviction, yet here we have a ‘distinguished’ professor who is responsible for deaths…..and he is directing the educational experiences of the next generation. Yikes!
Ayres’ degree is in early childhood manipulation. Communists always focus on the hearts and minds of the children.
The Obama children’s choir and the Obamacorps are examples of this tactic.
Heliotrope-You mean the way some social conservatives indoctrinate children on morality (and against the LGBT community) through those abstienence-focused sex education programs the predominantly leave us out of the picture?
Neither side is totally innocent, and neither side has a monopoly on what’s best for the country.
Conservatives have this quaint belief that parents have the right to teach children their values. Leftists believe that the state should indoctrinate children with values. Much more progressive for the state to be telling children to reject their parent’s values, n’est-ce pas?
A teacher had a saying posted on her desk, and I’m not sure of the origin.
“Teach a man what to think, and you make him a slave to knowledge. Teach a man how to think, and you shall make knowledge his slave.”
That is a very good summary. Thanks for reposting it. There is a rumor flying around about Hannity having a special on this tomorrow night.
It’s so disgusting the moral equivalence liberals use when the guy bombed and killed people in our country!
I meant to continue: You can see that with J’s “Neither side is totally innocent, and neither side has a monopoly on what’s best for the country.”
In a large generalization that may be true. But, for the topic at hand (Obama’s friendship with a domestic terrorist) that statement seems highly irresponsible.
Obama is a Muslim, a Terrorist, an Arab, a Socialist, a Communist, is he all that? No he is a black man (half race but he appears black in our prejudiced eyes) and “we are not going to vote for a black man”. Much less led a black family occupy the White House( how ironic, no?). These are the thoughts of many conservative white bigots in this country. When that woman told McCain Obama was an Arab what she meant was a that he is black man. How prejudiced and racist we still are!!. How a gay group could host a site so conservative. What the conservatives have done for us, gay men? Have they advance and promote our causes???. Every civilized progressive gay man and woman must vote for Obama. He is our future.

I’m waiting for the Palin- Troopergate primer.
THANKS
I cannot believe how blind people are and how the MSM gives Obama the free ride.
rusty, here it is:

You’re welcome.
P.S. Part of the point is that it’s from Confederate Yankee again, mapping to his Obama-Ayers primer. CY correctly and accurately notes:
This is like complaining about the color of the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Dan, if by “the Titanic” you mean “things we can do nothing about, like the disastrous Obama Presidency that is pretty likely to happen”… Sure. Whatever. Although some here are looking forward to the victory of Palin-Jindal or Jindal-Palin in 2012, a la Reagan’s victory after Jimmuh Carter’s disastrous Presidency.
Let’s see if I understand this:
Wanting a bad cop/wife-abuser/child abuser fired … scandal.
Consorting with terrorists, kicking back taxpayer money to politically-connected slumlords, engaging in massive vote fraud, paying off organizations that are up to their necks in vote fraud… not scandals.
Tell me, exactly when did I wake up in the evil Spock-has-a-goatee universe?
BTW, if it was a gross abuse of power for Sarah Palin to inquire into the firing of a dirty cop, what does that make Bill Clinton firing all U.S. Attorneys-General in 1993 (including those investigating Democrat corruption)? What does that make Bill Clinton firing the White House Travel office, replacing them with political cronies, and then prosecuting them on trumped-up charges of malfeasance?
Didn’t the Weatherman sing “its raining men”?
I live in New York City, aka Obamapolis. I have to admit that I am dumbfounded that over 80 percent of my social circles and nearly half of America is willing to take a chance on a junior senator who has done nothing but run for the Oval Office since he was sworn in. While he keeps drumming up George W. Bush when referring to McCain, all I see when I review Obama’s plans is Jimmy Carter. When I bring this up to Obamaniacs, I am painfully reminded that most of them have no recollection of Carter.
just a comparison: that Rudolph guy bombed a number of abortion clinics, and put at least one person in a wheelchair for life; he hid out for a long time in the wilderness; and when he was finally captured, he was tried and jailed.
Ayers/Dohrn spend a decade bombing and murdering; they went underground, and lived in various nice houses on the West Coast, indicating that they were well-financed by someone during that time; when they came up for air, they went to trial; they were NOT jailed because of ‘technicalities” established by very expensive lawyers hired by ‘someone.’ and now, this splendid pair lives in a great house in a trendy area, he with a phd or something, and his hands on hundreds of millions of dollars (a fund that was made possible by a ‘capitalist pig’, Annenberg, who is now dead, and probably spinning in his grave… NEVER LEAVE MONEY TO A NONPROFIT FOUNDATION!!!)
Have you watched the TV doc on the Weatherman? It is on youtube in 10 parts. One part is about the nasty death of George Jackson, presented here as a martyr, murdered by his jailers. Well, George Jackson boasted of killing 12 people; he was a thug, a drug dealer, and a general all round bad guy.
My conclusion is that these people were attracted to their ‘anti war’ activities because they were attracted to violence and evil; they worked very diligently to rid themselves of any respect for law or kindliness, so as to be accepted and admired by such as the Black Panthers.
In response to a friend who, not knowing much about this stuff, told me yesterday, “Ayers wasn’t a terrorist!”, and innumerable blog commenters saying, “Ayers has reformed, it’s not fair to tar this respected professional with stuff he did decades ago”, I spent way too much time in the wee hours putting together a timeline of quotes and a couple of videos to hopefully help people refute this stuff in no uncertain terms.
I don’t bother getting into the politics of the Obama connection, since I think until you agree on who the Ayers family are and what they believe in today, there’s no benefit to talking about the rest:
The terrorism myth: Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn
Ronald Hayden, thanks for doing that work. with the Gaypatriot outline, this is very useful; it’s time those lying haters are revealed for what they really are..
#10: Jorge – that is typical liberal bilge.
I, for one, am damn tired be being told that I’m a racists because I don’t subscribe to Obama’s politics. If his race IS an issue, it’s that in an Obama administration, every single disagreement over policy will come down to race. A lot of people (me, part Cherokee) are sick and tired of the race issue. It’s the libs who’ve made race a hot-button issue. What, pray, do you think of James Carville’s comment the other day on CNN hinting that there may be riots if Barry doesn’t win?
And I’m also sick and tired of being told I’m “self-loathing” because I don’t want to turn this country over to a bunch of multi-culti socialists who want to drag us down the same road Europe is on.
If the US is so bloody awful, why is it that billions of people from all over the world (and that includes a lot of Europeans and Canadians) want to come here?
I really don’t get this. What is the difference between Ayers/Dohrn and Ted Kaczynski,Eric Rudolph, or Timothy McVeigh? Nothing! If McCain were consorting with any of those characters, Republicans would have abandoned him long ago, and rightfully so.
Obama says ACORN will “shape his agenda”.
Michael Barone: The Coming Obama Thugocracy.
I am old enough to remember the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers and the Symbionese Liberation Army ……….. they are a all a far cry from the nonviolence groups that I admire.
How can you indoctrinate against someone you dont mention?
And no, I dont think thats what she means. i think she means like teaching kids to “rise up and kill your parents” … I believe those were Ayers exact words. I suspect she means how when Ayers was recently in Venezuela, kickin it up with Hugo Chavez, he said something to the effect that the way to revolution is through the children (or something very similar)
How is bombing the capital and firebombing a judges house when the family is asleep inside any different than teaching kids that contraceptives dont always work and the only way to guarantee you wont get an STD is to not have sex?
Its totally the same you fascist!
No
No, but he hangs out with unrepentant terrorists
No
Definately
Borderline, he even talks in his book about seeking out the Communists to hang out with in college. Black liberation theology, the theology of his church, is steeped in Marxism, his asspciate Bill Ayers is an admitted communist
I can think of several black men and women I’d be more than happy to vote for.
No, youre just an idiot who is probably voting for Obama because of his skin color, so you assume anyone voting against him is doing so for the same reason.
You really do think youre a mind-reader dont you!
Speak for yourself.
Protected your freedom to live your life as you see fit with as little interference from government as possible.
Yes! Individual liberty and the rule of law!
Only if by “civilized” you mean ignorant, by “progressive” you mean fascist, and “future” you mean downfall, in which case you have it spot on.
