Why people should really worry about Obama and Ayres |

Talk show host Sean Hannity continues to refer to William Ayres as "an unrepentant terrorist," which he most assuredly is. That, of course, allows Barack Obama to dismiss out-of-hand what Ayres did "when I was only eight years old." He can dismiss it as "gotcha politics." While what Ayres did should not be dismissed or ignored, the fact is Senator Obama has rightly deplored his "despicable acts." End of story. Right? Not so fast. The implication of this relationship goes much deeper and much farther. When Obama states they worked on "education reform" together, that’s a slow pitch anyone should be able to knock out of the park. Why? Because that is where Ayres is so dangerous to America. William Ayres’s reformation has been so complete and the media so in the tank for Obama that Tom Brokaw described the co-founder of the Weather Underground – the radical organization that, among other actions, bombed government buildings, banks, police departments and military bases in the 1960s – as merely a "school reformer." Of course, and William Ayres is a "school reformer" in the same way Chairman Mao was an "agrarian reformer." William Ayres, the proud, unrepentant terrorist, is now a tenured professor of Education at the University of Illinois. Just recently he was elected vice-president for curriculum for the 25,000 member American Educational Research Association, the largest organization of education-school professors and researchers in America. If Ayres were just some loony-tune rolling around out there, it would be one thing. But apparently he now wields great influence in academic circles and, obviously, has Barack Obama’s ear. So, the real issue is not his terrorist past, it’s the socialist revolutionary agenda he and Barack Obama want to impose on the nation’s educational system. What Ayres wants to do with America’s schools is found, not in his actions 40 years ago when Obama was eight years old, but as recently as two years ago, in 2006, when he traveled to the World Education Forum in Caracas, Venezuela. An event hosted by dictator and uber America-hater Hugo Chavez. (The full text of that speech can be found at http://billayres.wordpress.com/2006/11/). Standing beside the dictator Chavez, Ayres voiced his support of "the political reforms under way here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chavez. We share the belief that education is the motor of revolution…I look forward to seeing how…all of you continue to overcome the failures of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane." I could think of a lot of words to describe Hugo Chavez, but "humane" surely wouldn’t be among them. However, Ayres told the "humanitarian" Chavez: "Teaching invites transformations, it urges revolutions large and small. La educacion es revolucion." And therein lay the problem: Ayres and Obama have labored to bring the socialist revolution to America and the vehicle is to be the indoctrination of school children in the belief America is a racist, militarist nation and that the capitalist system is unfair and oppressive. In his speech, Ayres stated that "[c]apitalism promotes racism and militarism – turning people into consumers, not citizens." According to Senator Obama, his relationship with Ayres is "flimsy," just as his 20-year association with Reverend Wright contradicts his dismissive words. The evidence is mounting the Obama – Ayres relationship goes back much further than he has admitted. Obama’s wife, Michele, worked at the prestigious Sidley Austin law firm from 1988 through 1991, the same time terrorist Bill Ayres’s wife, Bernadine Dohrn, worked there. There is a lot to suggest Obama’s tenure at the same law firm was enabled by Tom Ayres, Bill Ayres father. This simply doesn’t pass the "smell test" of "flimsy." Ayres finished his speech at the World Education Forum with these words: "Viva Mission Sucre! Viva Presidente Chavez! Viva La Revolucion Bolivariana! Hasta La Victoria Siempre!" This is truly a man who hates America. He hates all it stands for. A man who has had a long, close relationship with Barack Hussein Obama. And, he’s a man who said that America makes him want to puke.

This is truly a man who hates America. He hates all it stands for. A man who has had a long, close relationship with Barack Hussein Obama. And, he’s a man who said that America makes him want to puke.William Ayres is an unrepentant domestic terrorist responsible for murder and bombings in this country.
He helped launch Obama's political career in Chicago in the mid ninties and is now heavily influencing education in this country.
The people went to Hitler and told him they did not want him to succeed with his programs.
He looked at them and said, "I already have your children"
It's much worse than that. 0bama and Ayers have been joined at the hip since 1982.
Obama and Ayers were at school in New York in 1982/3. Obama graduated from Columbia in 1983, Ayers graduated from Bank Street College, which is 371 yards down the road from Columbia, in 1984.
Obama took an English class from Edward Said who became his friend. Said was also a close friend of Bill Ayers. They also both became close friends of Rashid Khalidi, Said's successor as PLO spokesman. Ayers, Khalidi and 0bama all live within a few blocks of each other in Chicago.
Obama says in his own book that he "sought out foreign students, MARXIST Professors and punk poets" - Said was a Marxist.
Obama stayed working in New York until 1985, Ayers attended Columbia from 84-87 gaining two more degrees. You can verify Ayers degrees on Ayers CV on his own website.

This explains a lot, doesn't it? Like, for instance:
In 85 Obama left New York and moved to Ayers home town - Chicago - to work among Ayers' circle of friends. Ayers moved back to Chicago in 87.
Obama supposedly got into Harvard with the assistance of powerful connections of Ayers' father. Coincidence eh?
Obama met his wife while working a summer job in 1988 at the law firm of Sidley Austin that employed Ayers' wife in it's New York Office and had Ayers' father as a major corporate client in Chicago. Coincidence eh?
The Woods foundation.. Coincidence eh?
The Chicago Annenberg Challenge... where Ayers appointed his good buddy as chairman so he could sign off on funding for Ayer's radical education projects.... Coincidence eh?
Ayers and 0bama had offices on the same floor of the same small building at 115 South Sangamon from 1998 to 2001 - long before 0bama claims he met "some guy who just lives in my neighborhood"..
A book written in the early nineties that is starkly similar in it's metrics, phraseology, reading level, sentence length, vocabulary as the works of ....Bill Ayers.
These two GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1982/3 - a time when The Weather Underground were still active. The Brinks robbery occurred just a year earlier (1981) and Ayers and Dohrn had adopted Kathy Boudin's (one off the Brinks Robbers) child as she was in prison for the Robbery. Dohrn, herself, was on probation at that time for her crimes.
So when 0bama claims distance from Bill Ayers' past he is LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH.
OBAMA HAS TRIED TO CONCEAL THIS BY HIDING OR SEALING ALL INFORMATION ABOUT HIS TIME IN NEW YORK.
No transcript, no thesis, no list of friends or classmates, only one address where he lived part of the time, no nothing.
He may even have lived with Ayers and his wife - we don't know.
Ayers and Obama have been working in partnership to promote Ayers' radical education agenda since the 80's.
LOL
More:
Barack Obama has been asked about this guy at least three times and lied each time.
These idiots killed more of their own trying to build their bombs than they did their targets. Luckily they were a bunch of fools.
Just a reminder: in 2001, for an article in Chicago Magazine, Barack Obama’s friend William Ayers proudly allowed himself to be photographed stepping on a United States flag.The article was appropriately titled: No Regrets, and I’ve saved a copy of it in case it suddenly disappears, as articles exposing Obama’s associates often do.
One of Ayers victims released a statement.
ARLINGTON, VA — Today, John M. Murtagh made the following statement on Barack Obama’s relationship with William Ayers:
“When I was 9 years-old the Weather Underground, the terrorist group founded by Barack Obama’s friend William Ayers, firebombed my house. Barack Obama has dismissed concerns about his relationship with Ayers by noting that he was only a child when Ayers was planting bombs at the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol. But Ayers has never apologized for his crimes, he has reveled in them, expressing regret only for the fact that he didn’t do more.
“While Barack Obama once downplayed his relationship with Ayers, today his campaign took that deceit one step further. Barack Obama now denies he was even aware of his friend’s violent past when, in 1995, Ayers hosted a party launching Obama’s political career. Given Ayers’ celebrity status among the left, it’s difficult to believe. The question remains: what did Obama know, and when did he know it? When did Obama learn the truth about his friend? Barack Obama helped Ayers promote his book in 1997, served on charitable boards with him through 2002, and regularly exchanged emails and phone calls with him through 2005. At what point did Barack Obama discover that his friend was an unrepentant terrorist? And if he is so repulsed by the acts of terror committed by William Ayers, why did the relationship continue? Any honest accounting by Barack Obama will necessarily cast further doubt on his judgment and his fitness to serve as commander in chief.
“Barack Obama may have been a child when William Ayers was plotting attacks against U.S. targets — but I was one of those targets. Barack Obama’s friend tried to kill my family.”
Barack Obama Endorses William Ayers Book
We’ve all heard that they served on the same committees and boards, and the media yawns at this. However, if only they would dig just a little they would find that things are deep even just below the surface.
In 1997, Obama gave Ayer’s book rave reviews!

Active in the local control from below, on the “community” side of this effort, was Bill Ayers who had returned to Chicago in 1987 as an assistant professor of education at the University of Illinois’ Chicago Circle campus, after surfacing from the underground and earning his Ph.D. at Columbia. Another ally in this battle at the same time was Barack Obama’s Developing Communities Project (DCP), as Obama notes briefly in his Dreams From My Father. (See also, “Meeting on School Reform Halted,” Chicago Tribune, Feb. 19, 1988 at 3; and “Black Parents” A letter to the Chi. Trib. on Aug. 23, 1988 from a DCP member defending the 1988 local control reform bill) The DCP had its origins in the “radical” movement started by Saul Alinsky.Obama, of course, was an Alinsky disciple. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge comes in here.
Bill raised money to start the Small Schools Workshop in the early 90s and eventually hired another former maoist from the 60s (and actually someone who was a bitter opponent of Ayers as SDS disintegrated) named Mike Klonsky first as research director and then to head it up. Klonsky was a PhD student at UIC studying under Ayers. Obama would approved grants of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Workshop from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. [Bill’s brother John later got in on the small schools approach also, raising money in part from the Annenberg Challenge program started by Bill and chaired by Obama
Klonsky was the Obama web site blogger who was suddenly fired when his Weather Underground connections were revealed. He was driving a taxi when Ayres steered a large grant to him to start the Small Schools Workshop. The Annenberg money seems to have been distributed among this network of old-time radicals.
The MSM, ACORN, liberals, voter fraud, the Obama/Daley/Chicago/Mob/Clinton/DixieMafia and reapportionment will determine all future elections if something isn’t done.
Yes, you are right.
Learn something new. Edward Said introduced Obama to Ayers.
I’d like to see that video of Said/Obama at the Khalidi party the LA Times is sitting on.
Will you be a plaintiff?
One of the very worst things to ever happen to academe was the granting of an academic job to terrorist linchpin Edward Said, who through his zonbie students whom he placed into academic positions in Multicultural Studies and Middle Eastern Studies departments throughout the West, turned what had been fine universities that long had had academic integrity into huge and expensive propaganda mills operating a variety of Islamic-funded pseudo-academic departments as propaganda, brainwashing weapons against the state of Israel.
I misspell Ayres Ayers quite often.
As do others across the world of words.
Thanks to whoever put the alternative proper spelling in the keywords.
