Unabomber: ‘I favored Clinton and later Obama’
Washington Times ^ | 1-25-2016

Then-Sen. Hillary Clinton had been Ted Kaczynski's preferred pick for the Democratic nominee for president in 2008, but the incarcerated anarchist better known as the "Unabomber" ultimately backed then-Sen. Barack Obama's bid for the White House, newly published letters reveal.

Kaczynski, 73, lost his right to vote after being convicted in 1998 of crimes related to the nationwide bombing campaign that earned him notoriety as the "Unabomber," but he told a pen-pal in 2009 that he favored Mrs. Clinton over Mr. Obama in the Democratic presidential race before she lost the nomination.

I remembered the day after he was captured. He immediately received a suit, shave, haircut and a glowing article from the NY Slimes.

Another liberal, home grown terrorist... Is any one surprised that the likes of Al Gore could become a liberal, home grown terrorist?

Great guy. He an Charlie Manson would make a great team. Too bad Tim McVeigh is dead, he’d round that team out nicely.

I’m sitting here chuckling, thinking about if they were all made permanent roommates. Would that be a show or what?

So he didn’t like Gore? I guess he didn’t buy Gore’s environmentalism.

A copy of Algore’s book Earth in the Balance was found in the outhouse he lived in.

If he’s even half the Luddite he’s claimed to be then Obama was the perfect choice for him.

All terrorists support Democrats, because Democrats support terrorism.

I think I met the Unabomber as a kid. I lived in Montana and one year my best friend invited me to the cabin his dad was renting in Lincoln Montana. if I did run into him he was the wild guy in the woods that ran us off the swimming hole we had created in the creak. we ran into him a couple of times. for a fourteen year old kid he was just scary.

I have a sort of a similar story. My better half rented a house from Michael Moore and his dad in Davison, Michigan. I was over there one time when the Moore’s showed up to do something to the house. However, when the heat went out in the middle of a Michigan winter they refused to fix it. Lousy, lousy landlords they were.

Ted was a mathematician. His area of work was in complex variables , but he fried his brain with drugs. What a waste.

Virtually all murderous crackpots are Left Wing Democrats.

Is there anyone on FR who would disagree with this?:

"Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist's real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful."

Just shows that any determined anarchist and pigressive knows it's always been easier to destroy than it is to build and nurture.

I remember reading that from the Unabomber Manifesto and my thought at the time was that, nutty though his is, he really understands the left, but now to read that he believed in Obama is contradictory, so I think he’s just a nut, or...

Just had this thought...Maybe he’s angling for a pardon from Obama as he leaves office, and he might just get one.

An important endorsement that will help Hillary with the new, yet important refugee vote.
