The Truth Behind the Obama/Ayers Connection Exposed by CNN. What???

Radarsite ^ | 10 October 2008 | Roger W. Gardner

[tpanther]

My hunch is enough old school libs even begin to see the light and question this clown, who somehow didn’t know he attended a hate-filled racist church for TWENTY YEARS.

The Clinton’s will drop a bomb IMO.

McCain would do well to hammer away at Wright, Ayers, Odinga, Farrakhan, ACORN, Michelle saying she was never proud of this country, bambi saying US troops air raided civilians...

the more bambi is talking about Ayers, every single day if necessary, the better.

The media failed to do their job so keep up the pressure until he cracks!

[Kevmo]

Anyway, people are just concerned our candidate refuses to fight. We are up against a liar, a socialist, a lover of terrorists and we aren’t trying to win.
***McCain isn’t a fighter by nature. He’s a middle-of-the-road accommodater. That’s why there’s always this terrible risk that he’ll put the gloves back on, which is probably what he will do anyways. It’s in his nature. As soon as he does that, he loses the race.

He came out of the convention pumped up and fighting, but soon reverted to his old ways of reaching across the aisle in that financial crisis. As soon as he took the gloves off, his poll numbers started to plummet. It’s almost like Moses holding up his arms while the troops fight. So what, that he needs to get someone else to prop up his arms? Keep up the fight, whatever it takes.

[Hugin]

You beat me to it...”How many times have you heard people say, “Oh, it’s the Clinton News Network...”

“I’m Hillary Clinton, and I approved this story”.

[Kevmo]

My hunch is enough old school libs even begin to see the light and question this clown, who somehow didn’t know he attended a hate-filled racist church for TWENTY YEARS.
***I think your hunch is not well placed. 60% of Americans self-identify as conservative. Only 6% of journalists do.

The Clinton’s will drop a bomb IMO.
***That’s an old paradigm, the unbeatable Clintons. They got their butts handed to them by Obama. There is no bomb to drop.

McCain would do well to hammer away at Wright, Ayers, Odinga, Farrakhan, ACORN, Michelle saying she was never proud of this country, bambi saying US troops air raided civilians...
***Yes. And have Palin hold daily press conferences, each one detailing a new scandal until the election. All she needs to do is read some thread from Free Republic. 95% of it is better substantiated than the garbage that the media came up with against her, and she can hold their feet to the fire as a result.

the more bambi is talking about Ayers, every single day if necessary, the better.

The media failed to do their job so keep up the pressure until he cracks!

[Kevmo]

looks like I misposted a little bit at the end...

the more bambi is talking about Ayers, every single day if necessary, the better.
***Yes, I agree. For the next 30 days, alternating press conferences. One from McCain, one from Palin. A scandal a day keeps the Messiah away.

The media failed to do their job so keep up the pressure until he cracks!
***That is no longer their job. It’s ours. The material is all here, but the RNC has not availed themselves of it. Either they do so, NOW, or they face the formation of a splintered conservative party like the FALCONS, starting November 5.

[NRA2BFree]

They check everything six ways to Sunday. Believe me, I know. I have to play this report from Anderson Cooper.

I saw Anderson say that. I almost fell off of my chair. LOL I don't watch him but I was tired of listening to O'Reilly so I switched to see what CNN had on and I did just in time to hear Anderson. I looked out the window to see if the pigs were flying by. :o)

[politicalmerc]

I Smell Clinton<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As Glenn Beck often says: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." If Hillary derails Obama I'll be her friend (for a minute).

[ETL]

COOPER: And the board gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Bill Ayers' small schools project, promoting alternative education, the peace school with a curriculum centered around a United Nations theme.

Of course he didn't mention that the "Small Schools Workshop" was headed by Ayers' SDS comrade, Michael Klonsky.

________________________________________________________

[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).

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.'..."

"Mr. Ayers, who in 1970 was said to have summed up the Weatherman philosophy as:

'Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at,' is today distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

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.

What a terrific informative reply. Thank you ETL.

Great work.

[himno hero]

I’ll bet on the same horse.

I’ll bet the lead horse will break a leg.

And as ridiculous as it sounds, the pack will move up and horse number three will come in.

[danamco]

The Clinton's could never come out in support of McCain, but they can cause problems for Obama in other ways.

nOmama Mohammed Barack is a very teflon resistance person, learning from the Master from Arkansas, nothing sticks!

Nothing of all this matters to the "half" of the nation's cool-aid drinking disciples (sheeples), who through our failed educational system have learned evolution and that all things goes to get power!!

IMHO, the ONLY thing that brings him in handcuff is Phillip J. Berg's lawsuit if our Constitution is going to be followed!!!

Be sure to add your name and town and email - or they won’t read them.
When emailing. they won’t read mass emails so put just one email add in the “to” line then click on BBC at the end of that line. a BCC line will open just above subject line. copy paste the rest of the addresses in there and each recipient will see ONLY their name

BTTT ... HOW LONG CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS? ...

Sounds like too little too late...

It'll build.

[GOPJ]

And while we’re at it, let’s try to wake up McCain.

Your comments should be a stand-alone post. Great stuff.

I believe Sarah is "waking up" McCain (and random Americans who attend his rallies) - there's hope.
