To listen to the Obama spin-masters you’d think that the McCain campaign’s questioning of their candidate’s association with unrepentant terrorist bomber Bill Ayers is a smear tactic falsely elevating a casual relationship between the two men into one where they worked together in promoting Ayers’ far-left goals.
Their reaction to the continuing revelations that disprove that claim is one of sheer panic -- and they have a good reason to be scared witless that any in-depth probe of what went on between the two comrades will reveal Obama’s true colors -- all of them dark red!
If the truth becomes better known -- and it will if the Ayers issue is doggedly pursued -- it will be clear that Obama was not only deeply immersed the fetid swamp of Chicago’s far-left political scene, but was from the very beginning of his career carefully groomed by the city’s socialist left to follow the path he’s on now in his quest for the presidency of the United States.
Giving credence to the charge that Obama was “groomed by an older generation of radical leftists for insertion into the American political process, trading on good looks, brains, educational pedigree, and the desire of the vast majority of the voting public to right the historical racial wrongs of the [past]” as the American Thinkers’ Thomas Lifson has written:
• Obama belonged to the socialist New Party, described by Lifson as “a radical left organization, established in 1992, to amalgamate far-left groups and push the United States into socialism by forcing the Democratic Party to the left.” A March 22, 1998 article by John Nichols in These Times revealed, “After six years, the party has built what is arguably the most sophisticated left-leaning political operation the country has seen since the decline of the Farmer-Labor, Progressive and Non-Partisan League groupings of the early part of the century.”
• Obama has been allied with ACORN and their Project Vote, the radical leftist group now charged with massive vote fraud aimed at electing Barack Obama president of the United States. Obama has long been directly involved with ACORN. An article by Toni Foulkes of ACORN, “Case Study: Chicago-The Barack Obama Campaign,” which appeared in Social Policy magazine in 2004, Foulkes revealed ACORN noticed Obama when he was organizing on the far south side of the city with the Developing Communities Project. Wrote Foulks: “He was a very good organizer. When he returned from law school, we asked him to help us with a lawsuit to challenge the state of Illinois’ refusal to abide by the National Voting Rights Act … Obama took the case, known as ACORN vs. Edgar … and we won. Obama then went on to run a voter registration project with Project VOTE in 1992 that made it possible for Carol Moseley Braun to win the Senate that year. Project VOTE delivered 50,000 newly registered voters in that campaign (ACORN delivered about 5000 of them). Since then, we have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office.”
• Obama and Bill Ayers were close associates for years, going back as far as 1995 if not earlier. According to CNN: “A review of board minutes and records by CNN show Obama crossed paths repeatedly with Ayers at board meetings of the Annenberg Challenge Project. The Annenberg Foundation gave the project a $50 million grant to match local private funds to improve schools… Obama was asked to serve as the board chairman in 1995… For seven years, Ayers and Obama -- among many others -- worked on funding for education projects, including some projects advocated by Ayers ... The board, for example, gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Bill Ayers' small schools project… The funding, according to records… CNN reviewed, came directly from the Annenberg foundation which Obama chaired. While working on the Annenberg project, Obama and Ayers also served together on a second charitable foundation, the Woods Fund.”
No wonder the Obama campaign wants the Ayers connection to be off-limits.
I think this is exactly right. Ayers chose Obama! Not the other way around.
Yup, even got Obama a book deal before he was even out of school, for $40,000 advance. When Obama produced nothing for that amount, Ayers got him another $40,000 advance and sent him to Hawaii, and a book was then produced, somewhere.
He not only got him a book deal, he wrote the book for him.
Dang, this whole thinks stinks!
Bingo!
Why was the MSM unable to discover this for the last year?
It's how the left works...
The sycophantic chickensh!t media sots one, don’t want to find anything negative on their Marxist messiah, and two, are too chicken to actually go to Chicago area and ask questions in ‘mixed’ neighborhoods. Chicagocide makes arkincide look tame.
Obama's Columbia years are the key -- will the public find out in time? I think Obama and Ayers have been working together (or, more precisely, Obama as a puppet [wittingly or no] of Ayers and Dohrn) since the early '80s.
The links are all there. Obama was involved in the SDS at Occidental... why not at Columbia, too, which is their spiritual home? Ayers and Dohrn would have been legends within the SDS, and Ayers was simultaneously going to a nearby school for his education degree. Dohrn's sister Jennifer, long suspected of being a member of the Weather Underground, but not proven to be, was a professor at Columbia at the time, and would have provided the link.
After Columbia, why Chicago? Connections and contacts -- again, that's Ayers and Dorhn. Bernadette Dohrn was an intern at the same law firm that Michelle Robinson (now Obama) worked for despite being ineligible for the Illinois bar, at the behest of Ayers' father. After Dohrn left, a new intern took her place -- Barack Omaba.
It is a virtual certainty that Dreams From My Father was ghostwritten, as the writing style in no way matches anything else by Obama. It is highly probable that the ghostwriter was none other than Bill Ayers.
Ayers and Dohrn have their fingerprints all over this guy. I'm certain that the web that includes Ayers, Dohrn, ACORN, and possibly even Rezco are all part of a multi-decade plan to subvert the United States from within, using the education and political systems.
Yeah. I had posted on FR, what seems now like months ago, I guess, the
comment that Obama inevitably would trigger a revival of the conservative
movement. People are genuinely horrified at the prospect of this Orwellian
left-wing dictator-messiah assuming power and while we are in the middle of
the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
As I posted earlier on other threads:
Americans are being frighteningly naive about Senator Obama, never seeming to question that the puppeteers who have programmed and introduced him onto the American stage have a plan for this nation that does not coincide with the ideals of the Declaration and United States Constitution.
The liberty of millions yet unborn hangs in the balance in this election, and between now and Election Day, someone needs to expose those who control Obama's agenda.

Thank you, Michael Reagan!
Interesting. I hadn’t known about Jennifer Dohrn being a professor at Columbia at the time. What I have read points to then comp. lit. professor Edward Said likely having been the one who introduced young Barry to Bill Ayers.
I’m more than ready to believe the Obama/Ayers association began at that time. Among other things, it’s the only way to explain that Obama, from those early days, was so careful never to write anything.
