The timing could not have been more terrible for Barack Milhous Obama. Here we are, seven years later, on the anniversary of 9-11-01-- during Obama's campaign. GOD IS SPEAKING TO US!

No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives; In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen
By DINITIA SMITH Published: September 11, 2001
'I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.'' Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970's as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago. [snip]

Wonder if the NY Times has enough balls to re-run this on their home page TODAY. *crickets*
9-11 History ping. The timing of this report — on 9-11— during this campaign, is miraculous.
It was your post yesterday which led me to post this.

Isn’t it ironic - here is a violent man, who wished (and still wishes) death upon hundreds or thousands of people, and even put his beliefs into action many times. Yet no one has ever attempted to kill him - and he lives in quietly, in upper-class peace and prosperity in one of America’s largest cities.
unreal.
“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.

THE AYERS/OBAMA TIMELINE: (Version 1.0; a work in progress; dates are approximate)
1987 William Ayers meets Barack Obama
1988 Ayers solicits Khalid Al-Mansour to raise money for Obama’s Harvard law School education
1989 Tom Ayers and William Ayers get Obama a summer job at Sidley & Austin (where he meets Michelle Obama); Ayers’ wife Bernadine Dohrn also worked at Sidley at about the same time as Barack and Michelle.
1993 Ayers places Obama on Woods Foundation
1995 Ayers makes Obama Chairman of Annenberg Challenge
1995 Ayers hosts a coffee klatch for Obama’s political debut (Obama falsely claims this is when he met Ayers)
2007-2008 The structure of Obama’s presidential campaign increasingly comes to resemble an Ayers-designed national “community organizer matrix” straight out of Maoist theory. This is not merely a presidential “campaign.” Obama’s organization is the first installment of an ongoing movement being paid for with tax-exempt contributions to his campaign, approaching half a billion dollars.
2008Obama In response to ABC News, Obama tells a national TV audience he was “six years old” when Ayers bombed federal buildings, and they are only casual neighborhood acquaintances. A lie.
[analysis]
Last week we asked why would Black Panther party revolutionary Khalid Al-Mansour start soliciting money for Obama’s legal education? The answer: Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, were close associates of the Black Panther Party and even unleashed a terrorist attack on a New York judge who heard a Panther case.
In the 1980’s, the Ayers/Dohrn revolutionary terror network was still working through individuals such as Al-Mansour, who had sufficiently laundered his radical past to assume respectability as a front for a Saudi Prince. The same way Ayers laundered his own past to become a professor of “education” at Illinois’ taxpayer-subsidized university.
Why did Obama get hired as a “summer associate” in 1989 at the law firm which had hired Ayers’ wife, and where Ayers’ father was a prominent friend of the managing partner at Sidley & Austin? The answer is obvious. Ayers was grooming Obama as his future “front.”
Where did Obama get his first and only legal job after Harvard? At a law firm where Tony Rezko was a prominent client and where name partner Judson Miner was a law school classmate of Bernadine Dohrn-Ayers.
Was Obama telling ABC the truth when he said met the Ayers’ at a coffee klatch at the Ayers home in 1995? Ayers had already been working with Obama for seven years; Ayers had appointed Obama to head a $50 million foundation. Did Ayers appoint a stranger? Or a front man? The answer is obvious.
David Horowitz:
David Horowitz talked about Bill Ayers’ father getting Barack his job at Sidley/Austin. Also talked about Barack Obama planning his presidential run, at the Ayers/Dorn kitchen table.
Bill Ayers’ father was VERY big in Chicago politics. The Ayers and Daleys are very close
We know that Ayers started Obama’s political career, and is very influential in Chicago politics. What hasn’t been really examined is HOW and WHY he’s influential
The HOW and WHY is his dad Thomas G Ayers (1915-2007). Tom Ayers was President of Commonwealth Edison from 1964, and was chairman and CEO from 1973 to 1980. Besides that:
“He had a great social conscience and believed in breaking down the barriers that confronted so many people, particularly minorities and women,” said James O’Connor, who succeeded Mr. Ayers as ComEd chairman. “Beyond what he did at Commonwealth Edison, he really set an example for other leaders in the Chicagoland business community to follow.”
Mr. Ayers also served on boards of nonprofit initiatives and chaired those of the Chicago Urban League, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Erikson Institute, Bank Street College of Education in New York, Community Renewal Society and the Chicago Community Trust.
While chairing the Northwestern University Board of Trustees, he helped start Chicago United, dedicated to racial minority group access to jobs and education. The project that made him most proud, son John Ayers said, was Dearborn Park, an integrated South Loop housing project, which he conceived and for which he raised funds.
With his sons deep in protest of the Vietnam War (one, Bill Ayers, was a member of the radical Students for a Democratic Society who went underground for about 11 years) the businessman supported his children and their campaign. “Our father always stood by us,” John Ayers said. “He was an establishment guy, but he believed in us. He believed in change.”
After the Board of Education’s financial collapse of 1979, Mayor Jane M. Byrne named Mr. Ayers as her choice for president of the new board.
Bill Ayers’ dad was a primary mover and shaker in Chicago politics, with strong ties to the Daley machine. Besides all the above:
He was the Chicago establishment, serving on the boards of Sears, G.D. Searle, Chicago Pacific Corp., Zenith Corp., Northwest Industries, General Dynamics Corp. of St. Louis, First National Bank of Chicago, the Chicago Cubs and the Tribune Co.
Mr. Ayers also was an agent for change, negotiating between Mayor Richard J. Daley’s administration and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s open housing campaign in the mid-1960s, and developing the Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities to fight racial discrimination in housing.
And how exactly was Obama connected up the the Ayers in Chicago? I’m suspecting that his long association with Frank Marshall Davis in Hawaii had a lot to do with his decision to settle in Chicago. Per Davis’s wiki entry:
In 1927, Davis moved to Chicago, where he worked variously for the Chicago Evening Bulletin, the Chicago Whip and the Gary American, all African-American newspapers.[5][6] He also wrote free-lance articles and short stories for African-American magazines. It was also during this time that Davis began a serious effort to write poetry, including his first long poem, entitled Chicago’s Congo, Sonata for an Orchestra.
[...]
In 1935, Davis moved back to Chicago to take the position of managing editor of the Associated Negro Press[9], a news service for black newspapers, which had begun in 1919. Eventually, Davis was named executive editor for the ANP. He held the position until 1947.
During the Depression, Davis participated in the federal Works Progress Administration Writers’ Project. In 1937, he received a Julius Rosenwald Fellowship.[10]
While in Chicago, Davis also started a photography club, worked for numerous political parties, and participated in the League of American Writers. With the encouragement of authors such as Richard Wright and Margaret Walker, Davis published in 1948 his most ambitious collection of poems, entitled 47th Street: Poems, which chronicles the varied life on Chicago’s South Side.
Sometime during the period 1943-1945, Davis joined the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA), although he never publicly admitted his party membership. Davis published pieces in CPUSA-supported publications.[citation needed]
Davis used his newspaper platform to call for integration of the sports world, and he began to engage himself with community organizing efforts, starting a Chicago labor newspaper, The Star, toward the end of World War II. In 1945, he taught one of the first jazz history courses in the United States, at the Abraham Lincoln School[11] in Chicago.
I think Obama chose to move to Chicago to take advantage of the network of connections that Davis still had with the Chicago Left.
Does anybody here doubt that there would be a connection between Davis and Ayers, given the connections between the Communist Party and the Weather Underground, particularly between black radicals like Davis and the Weather Underground coming from the Chicago Eight trial?

Correction, posted in part by invictus.
If the NY Times cared about ratings, they would have featured Ayers today, or even tomorrow. But they’re too agenda driven.
That must be why they're walking around free as birds today.
Why on earth would anybody in America vote for Obama, the man who will not categorically and emphatically condemn the words and actions of this terrorist?
[in article]
Mr. Ayers is probably safe from prosecution anyway. A spokeswoman for the Justice Department said there was a five-year statute of limitations on Federal crimes except in cases of murder or when a person has been indicted.
Obama’s only hope is to keep distracting his followers and to downplay his relationship with Ayers. I tried to bring up Ayers in Wikipedia. All someone would tell me is that ‘no credible source’ is able to link Obama closely with Ayers.
Any yet, other than Hannity, no one seems to care that this murdering scum is a good friend of the O’s.
Because this kind of information is not allowed to be publicized by the press. I am amazed at how little some people that I know-- actually know...and are literally on the fence over this election. It's depressing.
People care. I think that people are just incredulous. They can’t believe that someone so closely assoiciated with Ayers could possibly be connected with a Democrat nominee. It’s just ‘too stupid’ to believe.
"My position has always been clear: If you've got a terrorist, take him out," Obama said. "Anybody who was involved in 9/11, take 'em out."
I'm still waiting for Barry to "take out" Bill Ayers, the terrorist he befriend LONG AFTER the 1970s when Bill bombed the Pentagon.
I don’t recall a “statute of limitations” on treason as defined in our Constitution. The Weather Underground were a pro-North Vietnamese army group who engaged in guerilla warfare against the military and police in the United States.
