Time Bomb: A '70s Cop Killing Investigation Leads to a Chicago Law Professor Who Helped Launch Barack Obama's Political Career

[wbarmy]

When some of the most rabid supporters of the Obama campaign start publishing articles that are damaging to him, you know that his political fortunes are turning south quickly. This magazine was tireless in its advocacy for Barack Obama and never said anything bad about him or good about his opponents. The shift in this article is seismic.

If they would have REPORTED this way back when instead of trumping left vs right for a win no matter what....we would not be in the huge mess we are in with communist 0bama.

The Democrats want to get him the hell out of DC because he is dragging them all down with him.

Success has many fathers, failure is an orphan. Every democrat in DC is going to disavow him soon and act like they had nothing to do with him.

Ayers and Dohrn assert today that the group deliberately avoided killing people in a campaign of "symbolic" bombings of empty government buildings. They and other former Weathermen have dismissed as a right-wing conspiracy theory any suggestions that their organization was responsible for the Park Station bombing.

That's just the dumbest excuse I've ever heard. They admitted that they set bombs to avoid killing people. Maybe that's true, but, anytime you play with stuff like that, why would you be surprised that someone would/could get hurt or killed? It doesn't make you any less responsible.

This will leave a BIG MARK.

***They admitted that they set bombs to avoid killing people.***

Nonsense! The bomb that accidentally went off in their Manhattan apartment, killing several Underground members, was wrapped in a layer of NAILS! You don’t put nails in a bomb unless you are trying to kill and wound people.

My sense is that The New Times hates The Arizona Republic even more than they hate Republicans (with the exception of Joe Arpaio, who they hate above all).

For instance, when the AZ Republic started running stories in favor of 'the Phoenix Lights' UFO sightings, the New Times ran story after story ridiculing the idea that the Phoenix Lights were UFO's. Under other circumstances, however, they would have more likely ran stories about the government cover-up of the Phoenix Lights stories, chastising the AZ Republic for not covering the story.

Similarly, the New Times seems to hate the AZ Diamondbacks, for no better reason than the AZ Republic made a fortune off the land deal which created Bank One Ballpark (Chase Field).

So it could be that they finally figured out that the Obama saga is ripe for investigative journalism, and since The Arizona Republic is completely in the tank for Obama, this gives them a green light to launch after the guy.

Get Glen Beck on this!

I’d always regarded the Phoenix new times as a stoner/hippy rag. I didn’t know about their feud with the repugnant, oh well I suppose the enemy of my enemy is a useful idiot

[milagro]

Just read the whole thing. I went to Northwestern in the mid-sixties, and the Law School, as well as the J-school, were well thought of. Now knowing that Dohrn is teaching there makes me SICK!

[jonrick46]

Bump for later.

[milagro]

Hope Rush is all over this SOON!--and Beck too. The article is truly a "time-bomb"!

Makes me think of an early and absolutley hilarious Bill Cosby "funny" about the kids in shop class who threw a bullet in the boiler and sat there thinking: TINK.... TINK....

It is my very earnest and heart-felt prayer that no PHYSICAL harm be done to our president,(for his sake and the sake of this nation). But please, Lord, may he--and his leftist cronies--fall victim to what they truly deserve: a POLITICAL FRAGGING!

[antiRepublicrat]

Maybe that's true

I know you are just being accommodating in debate, but there is not a chance in hell that it's true.

If you want to symbolically blow up a buiding you put some dynamite in it. It's simple, does some structural damage and won't hurt anyone not near the explosion. Remember the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion? The Weathermen were assembling a nail bomb (dynamite wrapped with roofing nails) that blew up on them. The sole purpose of adding the nails is to kill people. They have no other use in bomb making.

They had planned to use this particluar bomb at an NCO dance at Fort Dix. They are lying. They meant to inflict the most possible bodily injury on people, and they are not sorry about it.

After a brief look @ The New Times, it’s what I thought it to be, another far left shi_y paper, low budget, no integrity rag that generally are free and seem to clutter the landscape as trash blowing in the wind.
What I wonder is why they would take the time to publish this article about the wetherman/Bill Ayers now...smoke & mirrors or deflection comes to mind!

[Tzimisce]

In the seventies, we blew up the government.

Today we work for the government.

That hope and change is working out great for us! LOL!

Now pay your taxes: we need raises, not that your money is going to make us like you any better!

Who says crime doesn’t pay? LOL!
