Whew! I was waiting for CNN to tell me if there was real connection there, and now we know. This actually is a weird video. First of all, they call themselves the "Truth Squad," which is exactly the same title the Obama campaign is using for groups of police and prosecutors in Missouri it has asked to go after people who "lie" about Obama.
These guys are so glib and are practically laughing at how silly and non-sensical this whole thing is.
Video at the link.

Notice the discliamer in the CNN piece: “in the past three years”
Before that???? Why should we look into that?
CNN has a “Truth Squad”? Fat Chance, Communist Network News.
Unfortunately, I have to listen to this “Truth Squad” sometimes. They are unilaterally in the tank for Obama, plain and simple. They are just the intellectual equivalent (as best the MSM leftists can muster up) of the Obama Paramilitary Squad seen lately goose-stepping their way into Obamaland’s hearts. Combined, they are the prime example of intellectual and racial bigotry only seen outside this country heretofore.
Communist news truth squad. Come on they are A JOKE. CNN should be changed to the Comedy News Network. They are so obviously liars they can not be taken seriously ever on anything they report.
We have met the enemy of America and they are CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS.
If you haven’t read this thread/article... please do. Also talks about OBambi’s “digital brownshirts”.

Allow me to parse this BS. They are not hanging around right now because Obozo is running for President. Bill Ayers has stopped terrorist bombings because the FBI keeps a close eye on him. Ayers and Wright however are useually in the basement safely out of sight when Obozo speaks. WEAK really Really weak. And transparent. ANYONE who buys this has no brain in the head.
Yeah, they haven’t had an ongoing relationship in the past three years. You know, since Obama went to Washington, and then fanned out across the country running for president, and Ayers stayed in Chicago where he works as a professor. The fact that they were quite close before that is “irrelevant”.
I guess this means Stalin was an okay leader in 1935 since his ongoing association with Lenin ended years earlier with Lenin’s death.
They are using a classic straw man here. They debunked something alright, but it surely wasn’t the accusations that have been leveled.
There is currently no evidence that Osama Bin laden is still controlling Al-Qaeda. Shouldn’t we just let bygones be bygones?

BTW, here are some earlier threads regarding this story/topic/issue:

In 1985, Ayers’ Woods Fund provided $25,000 to the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious Conference (CCRC) in Chicago. The “Project” brought Obama from New York to Chicago, where he began his career as an Alinsky “community organizer.” His job was to “rub raw the sores of discontent” among the residents of Chicago’s South Side.
In 1989, Barack Obama joined the Chicago law firm of Sidley & Austin as a summer intern. Michelle Robinson, his future wife, was his adviser. Michelle introduced Obama to her associate, the terrorist Bernadine Dohrn, who also worked at the firm.
There are many that believe Obama met Ayers in 1982 or 1983 when Obama was at Columbia and Ayers was receiving his Masters in Early Childhood Education at at Bank Street College - - 371 yards down the street from Columbia.

Incidentally, where is the CNN truth squad saying that John McCain and George Bush are best friends and McCain wants to run his third term? CNN is a joke!
bump
I am not a Troskyite. Trotsky died.
Exactly. Read and parse every word. They twisted the truth to the absolute extent possible, so they could 1) pronounce Palin a liar, and 2) issue the ever popular, “nothing to see here. move along.”
Bill Ayers still advocates the communist overthrow of the American government.
Bill Ayers TODAY (April 6, 2008), from his own red communist star-headed website, begging to debate communism vs capitalism with Sean Hannity and STILL calling for revolution!
"Imperialism. I’m against it, and if Sean Hannity and others were honest, this is the ground they would fight me on. Capitalism played its role historically and is exhausted as a force for progress: built on exploitation, theft, conquest, war, and racism, capitalism and imperialism must be defeated and a world revolution—a revolution against war and racism and materialism, a revolution based on human solidarity and love, cooperation and the common good —must win.
We begin by releasing our most hopeful dreams and our most radical imaginations: a better world is both possible and necessary.

"a better world is both possible and necessary"
Looks to me like Bill Ayers stole (or borrowed) this phrase from Bob Avakian, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Both the Weather Underground and RCP have roots in the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) organization.
"The following is an excerpt from an historic talk by [Revolutionary Communist Party] Chairman Bob Avakian, soon to be available on video and DVD from Three Q Productions-REVOLUTION: Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible, What It's All About. This talk, delivered in 2003, followed by questions and answers, is a wide- ranging revolutionary journey, covering many topics."

Interview with Bill Ayers:
"On Progressive Education, Critical Thinking and the Cowardice of Some in Dangerous Times"
http://rwor.org/a/063/ayers-en.html

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:
"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.
One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.'
The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide."

[Obama] is named Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge founded by Bill Ayers
(article typo has Ayers instead of Obama)
In late 1993, Bill Ayers, now an associate professor of education at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus, organized a team to put together a grant proposal to secure nearly $50 million from the Annenberg Challenge. The money was to be used by Ayers and co. to bolster the radical Local School Councils reform project that Ayers and Obama had championed back in 1988 through the ABCs.
The grant application was successful and in early 1995 Barack Obama was named chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Ayers was named co-chair of the Challenge’s operative and strategic body, the Chicago School Reform Collaborative. Ayers and Obama work together for the next five years on raising an additional $60 million in matching money from local foundations and corporations and using the money to intervene in the governance of the Chicago public schools.
The Challenge through a multi-million dollar Leadership Development Initiative intervened in the School Council elections in the middle of what was known as the Chicago School Wars. At the same time Chicago Mayor Richard Daley was pushing, successfully, to gut the power of the Councils.

"The Small Schools Workshop was founded in 1991 at the University of Illinois at Chicago to provide support for teachers who were trying to create new smaller learning environments. Its director is Michael Klonsky, a former professor of education at UIC."

Some background on Bill Ayers' SDS comrade, Michael Klonsky
(Chicago Annenberg Challenge-related)
"One of Bill Ayers’ and Bernardine Dohrn’s comrades in the late 60s Students for a Democratic Society was Mike Klonsky. When Dohrn and Ayers moved in one direction toward the violent tactics of the Weather Underground, Klonsky, in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, dropped the pro-Russian communist politics of his parents and became a committed Maoist. As leader of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) in 1977 [not to be confused with Communist Party USA. CPML no longer exists, CPUSA formed decades earlier and is still around-ETL], he travelled to Beijing and was toasted by the senior Beijing leadership.
When the crazy left of the 70s died in the 80s, Klonsky went to graduate school in education in Florida and then moved to Chicago.
While driving a cab there he [Michael Klonsky] was recruited by his old friend Bill Ayers to head up a new project called the Small Schools Workshop in 1991. It’s offices were in the Department of Education building at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus where Ayers taught.
In 1995 the newly formed Chicago Annenberg Challenge headed by Ayers and Obama gave the Workshop a grant of $175,000.
The Annenberg Challenge also had its office space in the same building as Ayers Department and the Workshop, rent free courtesy of the University.
In 2008 Klonsky ran a blog on the official Obama campaign website on education policy and “social justice” teaching. When discussion of the Klonsky blog emerged in the blogosphere, it was promptly shut down by the campaign and all of the posts made by Klonsky were removed from the site."
________________________________________________________
In 1977, the October League was reorganized as the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) [again, not Communist Party USA (CPUSA) -ETL] and former SDS activist Michael Klonsky became party chairman. Also in 1977, Klonsky traveled to China and the CPML was recognized by the Chinese Communist Party as its official sister party in America.
(snip)
In January 1981, Michael Klonsky resigned as party chairman, and the CPML disbanded that same year.
The previous Red Encyclopedia description of the CPML was incorrectly combined with that of the Communist Party USA (Marxist-Leninist).
