Nineteen months or seemingly an eternity ago, in March 2007, the Washington Post published a long background piece by Peter Slevin on senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama, and the relationship that connected both to Saul Alinsky (1909-72) of Chicago. The life experience Obama brings as his credentials for the White House is of a community organizer in Chicago. Slevin reported Alinsky's disciples hired Obama to "organize black residents on the south side, while learning and applying Alinsky's philosophy of street-level democracy." In 1985 Obama moved to Chicago and there discovered Alinsky through his disciples and writings. It...

It's time to twist the knife on this story... keep dripping in details the media doesn't like to talk about... Obama endorsed Ayer's book Ayer's gave Obama fundraisers Obama was serving with Ayers when his book fugitive days(September 10, 2001 publication date) came out when he gave this and this interviews... If you leave this alone it will be worthless, you've got to twist some more... take the focus off of "terrorist" and put it on left wing radical... who just happens to be an unrepentant terrorist...

Barack Obama was interviewed by Bill O'Reilly last week. BARACK OBAMA: ...on this Ayers thing, which you've been hyping, Bill. O'REILLY: Not that much. BARACK OBAMA: This guy did something despicable forty years ago. O'REILLY: Despicable last week. He said he didn't do enough bombing. That's last week. BARACK OBAMA: Here's a guy that does something despicable when I'm eight years old. Alright? I come to Chicago. He's working with Mayor Richard Daley, not known to be a radical. So, he and I know each other as a consequence of work he's doing on education. That is not an...

Santa Cruz -- The devices used in two firebombings targeting UC Santa Cruz biologists are similar to some used in the past by animal rights activists, investigators said Sunday. The bombs were so powerful they were like "Molotov cocktails on steroids," said Santa Cruz police Capt. Steve Clark.One struck the home of assistant biology Professor David Feldheim on Saturday morning, forcing him to flee with his family. The other exploded just a few minutes earlier, gutting a car parked outside the campus home of a second researcher.Later, Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputies went to the home of a third researcher...

SANTA CRUZ — Firebombs were intentionally set on a porch and in a car belonging to two UC Santa Cruz researchers in separate incidents early Saturday in what police have classified as acts of domestic terrorism. Police are calling one of the bombings an attempted homicide. In one incident, a faculty member's home on Village Circle off High Street was intentionally firebombed about 5:43 a.m., according to police. The residence belonged to UCSC researcher David Feldheim, a neuroscientist who works with mice. He was one of 13 researchers listed in threatening animal rights pamphlets found Tuesday in a downtown coffee...

For a number of years now, the DC Police Department has been afraid to do the job that we the citizens hired them to do. Fear of lawsuits brought by various radical, leftist, socialist and anarchist groups has for years rendered the DC Police Department impotent in carrying out their duties; but that may have changed this week. On Monday, May 5, 2008, officers of the Montgomery County (MD) Police, DC Police and US Park Police coordinated a search of the home of well-known DC radical (and bicycle messenger/delivery boy), Luke Kuhn (aka "Wook"). While officers were executing the search...

Santa Cruz, Calif. (AP) -- The FBI is investigating possible links between animal-rights activists in Southern California and a weekend attack on the home of a University of California, Santa Cruz researcher. Patti Hanson, an FBI spokeswoman, said the bureau was looking into possible connections to "domestic terrorism." A demonstration by six masked protesters in front of the UCSC scientist's Westside home Sunday afternoon turned violent when the group pounded on the door and were confronted by the researcher's husband, police reported. The incident invited comparison to recent attacks on UCLA researchers that were linked to animal-rights groups. No one...

...the University of New Mexico's African American Studies Program director says he's thrilled to have two of the Black Panther Party's founding members teaching at UNM this year. David Hilliard will begin teaching Tuesday ... through May. Elaine Brown, the only woman to chair the Panther party, will serve as a visiting lecturer. "Having them teach at UNM is unprecedented— all positive," Coleman said. The Black Panther Party, which was founded in 1966 and ended about 1980, is often remembered as a fist-raising group that took on the government, the police and anyone who stood in the way of its...

by Mark Finkelstein June 23, 2006 Even before the evidence on Haditha is in, Jack Murtha was ready to accuse American Marines of 'cold-blooded' killings. But let terrorists plan to kill Americans, and - what do you know? - liberals are quick to ascribe their acts to everything from poverty to insanity. Norah O'Donnell was the guest host on this evening's Hardball. Discussing the arrest of seven alleged domestic terrorists charged with plotting to blow up the Sears Tower among other targets, O'Donnell asked her panel of 'Hardball Hotshots': "where is this hatred coming from?" Mike Barnicle was first to...

CROW CANYON - Alameda County Sheriff's deputies are trying to find out who sprayed the initials "ALF," along with some other graffiti, first discovered Saturday at a Castro Valley horse boarding ranch. "ALF" could stand for Animal Liberation Front, a group that goes after organizations and corporations they suspect of animal abuse. ALF has been called a terrorist group by the FBI. But Sheriff's Lt. Bill Gaudinier said neither his office nor the FBI have yet connected group members to the vandalism. Sheriff's investigators also have not ruled out involvement by that group. The first example of graffiti was reported...

Some 60 Greenpeace student activists protested at the Knoxville offices of paper products manufacturer Kimberly-Clark, calling on the company to use recyclable fibers rather than wood from virgin forests. "We’re here today to send a message to Kimberly-Clark, the largest maker of tissue paper in the world, that we want them to stop wiping out ancient forests to make disposable products like Kleenex," said Ginger Cassady, Greenpeace forests campaigner from San Francisco. A statement released by Kimberly-Clark, which has administrative and accounting operations in Knoxville, said the company maintains "strict corporate policies that emphasize sustainability and sound environmental practices as...

Several gang members in Los Angeles, some known for statements of braggadocio, said they are going to riot if the scheduled execution takes place. “Took die, the city fry,” said Raymond “The Hatchet Man” Locket, a member of the West Side Harlem Crips, who says he knew Tookie back in the day. “That’s the word on the streets.”

During G-8 protest, riot team was on a different frequency. A communications glitch left a San Francisco police officer and his partner alone to confront a splinter group of anarchist demonstrators in the Mission District, an altercation that ended with protesters inflicting a head injury on one of the officers, police said Monday. Police promised to fix the breakdown in the dispatch system, which resulted in 100 officers -- dressed in riot gear and assigned to Friday night's protest against the Group of Eight summit -- unaware for several critical minutes of the brewing confrontation involving Officer Peter Shields. "If...

A San Francisco police officer was in serious condition with a head injury and three suspects were in custody Saturday following a demonstration by anarchists who broke windows in the Mission District to protest the gathering of the Group of 8 leaders in Scotland. Police did not release the name of the officer who was hurt in Friday night's melee. Deputy Police Chief Greg Suhr said Saturday that the officer was in serious but stable condition with brain swelling at San Francisco General Hospital. He has developed a blood clot, which doctors hope to dissolve before he is released, Suhr...

Jerrold Nadler's Two Faces on Terror By Jacob LaksinFrontPageMagazine.com | June 13, 2005Last Friday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Patriot Act had already been adjourned, but Jerrold Nadler, the Democratic blimpish congressman from New York and one of the leftmost members of the House Judiciary Committee, was too wound up to care: “We are not besmirching the honor of the United States, we are trying to uphold it,” bellowed the hefty Nadler. By this, Nadler meant to defend his attacks on the alleged abuses of the (in fact) privileged  prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. Thanks to the efforts of the...

Twenty years ago this Friday, Philadelphia became "The City That Bombed Itself." On the evening of May 13, 1985, in the Cobbs Creek section of West Philadelphia, police dropped explosives onto the headquarters of the radical group MOVE. The explosion started a fire that city officials allowed to burn. When the blaze was out, 61 homes were gone and 11 people, five of them children, were dead inside MOVE headquarters.
