Steve Diamond on David Remnick's confirmation of William Ayers role in Obama's rise to power

On April 4 the New York Post's Ginger Adams Otis yawned her way through a review of David Remnick's exhaustively researched 585 page biography of Barack Obama (published yesterday). She observed that there's nothing startling in the few new details Remnick marshals. Ms Otis is not quite correct. Contained in Remnick's biography is a ticking time bomb.

In 2008 The New York Times got away with quashing law professor Steve Diamond's warning about the true relationship between William Ayers and Barack Obama. I'd like to see The Times try to quash David Remnick, one of the mandarins in the Liberal Media Establishment, although he might say I heap too much praise on him.

However, my greatest concern is that while the Right Wing Media Establishment will surely seize on Remnick's comments about the Obama-Ayers relationship, they will do as they did in 2008. What they did was divert public attention from the most crucial issue connected with the relationship by focusing on Ayers's past as a terrorist. His present is that he is an influential educator pushing social justice teachings and race-based education theories in American public schools.

Fox News Cable viewers who think they know the meaning of social justice teachings after hearing Glenn Beck's explanations -- sorry to say but he is behind the curve of Ayers and other educators pushing social justice curriculums in the public school system.

Glenn is describing a 1960s version of social justice concepts. The new, improved version, which has actually been around for several years, is so weird that when I first learned about it I figured it couldn't mean what it seemed to mean. My next stage of denial was, "They can't be serious."

They're completely serious about using every single subject taught in public schools, including math and science...

While Ayers and Dohrn have moved away from their violent past

Their past was child's play compared to what they're doing today.

So far everything I've read here is nothing new. Obama knew Ayers going back to the 80’s, no surprise and Ayers has been planning and using Obama as a vehicle to implement his school agenda in the public schools brainwashing the teachers, boards, students, etc. All this is nothing new! Just another accomplishment of liberal filthy crap to add to the heaping pile of liberal $HIT which never seems to pile up to a point where the people reach a breaking point.

It is like the more information we discover the more we slowly get accustomed to it and accept it with the blessings of the main stream media who do not want to challenge anything because they have been slowly brainwashed.

Ayers doesn’t have Secret Service protection does he? I know he visits the WH frequently.

Great post, neverdem.

The appointment to the board was a major step up in the career of the young lawyer Obama, who had recently returned to Chicago after graduating from Harvard Law School. A few months after his spring 1995 appointment to the CAC board Obama would be invited to the Hyde Park home of Bill Ayers and his wife ...

Do you remember the thread last year about Obama meeting with " ol moneybag/Mr Connection - Ayers father?

That's the meeting - the one the postman talked about - that holds the key.
