Frank Rich: ‘If You Put A Reloaded Gun’ Up To Palin Would She Know About Bill Ayers?

Mediaite ^ | August 3, 2011 | Matt Schneider

[2ndDivisionVet]

New York magazine’s Frank Rich stopped by Martin Bashir’s MSNBC show to express his disappointment with President Obama, his expectation that the backlash against Rupert Murdoch in England will soon come to America and his general bewilderment with everything Sarah Palin. Bashir didn’t let Rich have all the “fun” though, as he compared the Tea Party to recalcitrant children who took control of their parents and wondered about Palin what her purpose might be if she doesn’t run for President?

Rich suggested that Mitt Romney and Rick Perry have a great advantage over many other candidates in 2012, including Obama, since they didn’t have any part of the nightmare that just took place in Washington. And about Obama, Rich complains:

“There was not much leadership from him – that someone has given him the idea that if you’re the adult in the room and you’re willing to compromise and you’re an agreeable guy, that somehow will appeal to independents and get him re-elected. I’m not so sure.”

Turning their focus to Palin, after she defended the Tea Party against accusations of being “domestic terrorists” by bringing up Obama’s connection to Bill Ayers, Bashir commented “remarkable that she remembered Bill Ayers.” And Rich was confident she didn’t really even know anything about Ayers:

“If you put a reloaded gun in front of her, to use her language, would she be able to actually remember anything Bill Ayers actually did? Or what his relationship to Obama was? . . . Who knows what she’s up to?”

Despite some over-the-top gun imagery from Rich, he actually thinks it would be “hilarious” if she ran for President. Especially since Frank wonders whether “just being on the Fox payroll” is enough to satisfy her, he ultimately wouldn’t be shocked if Palin does jump into the race.

The more they attack her, the more I know she's the one. And what is it with Lavender Mafia?

Not only are they attacking her, they got the judas goats on this forum attacking her also.

From HumanEvents.com, April 29, 2008:
"By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung -- indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): 'We’re revolutionary Communists.'

He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir.

Ideal Bombing Weather:
'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,' he writes (although he concedes it was really a group effort). 'The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.' (p. 256 in the 2003 edition.)

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE/HAD
FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO BOMB FORT DIX

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."

2007 Fort Dix attack plot

A group of six radical Islamist[1] men, allegedly plotting to stage an attack on the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, United States, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on May 7, 2007. They were subsequently charged with planning an attack against U.S. soldiers. The alleged aim of the six men was said to be to "kill as many soldiers as possible".[2] Their trial began on October 20, 2008. [3]

Opening arguments were presented on October 20, 2008.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said the defendants were inspired by jihad saying "Their motive was to defend Islam. Their inspiration was Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

I don't get it - is Rich admitting that Obama and Ayers share a relationship?

[ETL]

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

Allies in War
By David Horowitz
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, September 17, 2001:

excerpt...

In 1969, Ayers and his wife convened a "War Council" in Flint Michigan, whose purpose was to launch a military front inside the United States with the purpose of helping Third World revolutionaries conquer and destroy it.

Taking charge of the podium, dressed in a high-heeled boots and a leather mini-skirt – her signature uniform – Dorhn incited the assembled radicals to join the war against "Amerikkka" and create chaos and destruction in the "belly of the beast."

Her voice rising to a fevered pitch, Dohrn raised three fingers in a "fork salute" to mass murderer Charles Manson whom she proposed as a symbol to her troops. Referring to the helpless victims of the Manson Family as the "Tate Eight" (the most famous was actress Sharon Tate) Dohrn shouted:

Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!..."

"Today William Ayers is not merely an author favored by the New York Times, but a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago.

His Lady Macbeth [Bernardine Dohrn] is not merely a lawyer, but a member of the American Bar Association’s governing elite, as well as the director of Northwestern University’s Children and Family Justice Center."

Must see video...

Undercover agent Larry Grathwohl discusses the Weather Underground's post-revolution governing plans for the United States:

Larry Grathwohl:

"I asked, 'well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?' and the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say 'eliminate,' I mean 'kill.' Twenty-five million people. I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people. And they were dead serious."

Obama Gave Bill Ayers' Book a Rave Review

[smokingfrog]

We gotta get the word “reaload” in there somehow, don’t we?

The MSM are the ones who don’t seem to be able to remember anything about Bill Ayers.

[Kickass Conservative]

What is a “reloaded gun”?

I know Liberals think a scary looking gun is an Assault Weapon, a Cartridge is a Bullet, a Magazine is a Clip and Gun Control protects the defenseless, but where did he come up with “reloaded gun”?

I guess “don't retreat, reload” is too much of a challenge for his tiny Libtard mind to comprehend.

Frank Rich would wet his panties if he heard a gun shot.

[Talisker]

Frank Rich: "If you put a reloaded gun in front of her [Sarah Palin], to use her language..."

No Frankie, that's your language.

But it's okay. Clarity is a good thing.

[Billthedrill]

Rich is a fool. Yes, Palin and the rest of us remember perfectly well what Ayers was and still is. And Rich had better pray that we don’t decide to embark on a course of action such as the one Ayers reveled in, because our “reloaded guns” are very real and both he and Ayers have some heavy dues to pay.

[FredZarguna]

Since she clearly identified that 0bama began his political career at a soiree in Ayers' living room, I think anyone who actually pays attention knows that she understands his relationship to 0bama.

Attention to details is an important attribute of the intelligent, Frank.

[ETL]

Sorry, this one needs repeating... Even Hillary Clinton brought it up (at the 2008 debate).

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

All this anti-Obama chatter from the Left will disappear once the campaign heats up and they all fall in line to get The Won re-elected.

Sarah Palin is like the anti-Christ to the queers...

[alstewartfan]

He BOMBED THE PENTAGON, Frank, and he is unrepentant. I think that Gov Palin knows that, Frank, even if the NYT and MSNBC don’t discuss it. You are a sick ticket, Frank.
