Greta van Susteren interviewed John Murtaugh on Fox last night to discuss the 1970 attack on his family by the Weather Underground. Murtaugh wrote an op-ed piece last week reminding people that William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn didn’t just target military assets with their domestic terrorism. Murtaugh’s father, a judge presiding over the trial of 21 Black Panthers accused of a conspiracy to commit their own acts of terror, became the WU’s target as a strategy to force the state to release the defendants:

Please watch the video. Ayers is an evil man and Obama is excusing it by associating with him. My prayers go out to Mr Murtaugh and all he has gone through.

Greta van Susteren interviewed John Murtaugh

Oooh, oooh! Greta and Faux News are involved! Was there...

- a dead blonde?
- a white Bronco?
- any tie-in to Anna Nicole? Or...
- can she tie in Paris or LiLo?

[Dawnsblood]

None of the above Sarge... She actually gets to talk about something important this time. (I am suprised too!)

I watched the interview last night. What an intelligent, articulate, well spoken gentleman. He’s also a registered Republican!

Did you bother to watch this interview?

Murtaugh was 9 years old when his house was firebombed.

So...no...no

- a dead blonde?
- a white Bronco?
- any tie-in to Anna Nicole? Or...
- can she tie in Paris or LiLo?

Just a judge who was in charge of a terrorist defendant’s courtroom...that’s all it was.

[dixiechick2000]

BTW...hopefully Ayers chickens are coming home to roost.

With the upcoming Denver convention, and continuing to expose Recreate 69, Obama’s connection to Ayers-

I’m looking at this and wondering if this topic/these discussions (because this includes bombing of recruiting stations) should be referenced and/or footnoted in future communications with the Justice Department/FBI about the Sedition Report.

[tsmith130]

I think you mean ‘Recreate 68’.

[Loyal Buckeye]

It’s pretty clear that B-HO is on the same page as Wright, Ayers, et. al.

Councilman Murtagh was on with the Friends this week, too. Excellent interview. Brian tried to defend Barry by mentioning the associations of Clinton, Inc. but Steve would have none of it by saying—Ayres tried to kill this man and his family.

What is particularly ironic about this is that Barak was claiming he was ONLY 6 years old when Ayres was pulling off the attacks.

John Murtaugh was 9 years old.

[freema]

I think you’re right.
