Obama's Buddy Bill Ayers Stomping The American Flag (Picture Of Ayers Stomping The US Flag Surfaces
NewsBusters ^ | 5/5/2008 | John Stephenson

Posted on 05/06/2008 7:42:26 AM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist

There is a huge blogswarm going on about this photo, from Chicago Magazine, of Obama's unrepentant terrorist associate, Bill Ayers stomping on the American flag. The photo was taken in 2001, the same time Obama served on the Woods Fund Board with Ayers. This was also the same time that Ayers donated to Obama's campaign.

... many political bloggers are saying it is long past due for Obama to disown his association with this controversial radical.

... It's worthy of recycling this to further probe into Obama's judgment, the one thing he says he should be measured by.

Obama did not give back Ayers campaign contribution, either. Nor did he condemn Ayers at that time in 2001 for being unrepentant.

Obama went and met in Ayer's living room when he started running for the Illinois Senate, and Ayers intorduced Obama to the Hyde Park community.

Obama has said that he and Ayers still have a friendly relationship.

BTW, does something like this put Obama's refusal to wear an American flag pin in a new light? I think it does.

Is it true that the Ayers photo was from 2001?

If it was, then I guess that blows Obama’s whole “I was only eight years old” excuse.

Obama has to much excess baggage to be the President of our country. He appears to like associations with political misfits.

Even today, Ears is still eight years old.

The Marathon Pundit image is even worse because he appears to be enjoying a dance on the flag.

He's not stomping on it. He's standing on it.

And he still deserves a punch in the nose for it.

Obama will never make it.

He’s weak, inexperienced, and has dreadful associates(and, oh yeah, a real angry wife).

As for Mr. Ayers, I think it would be appropriate to put him on the four point program.

"What say you?"

Waiting for Obama to defend him ("I never saw him do anything like that in all these years!") before throwing him under the bus ("Why, he is not the man I thought he was!")

Getting pretty crowded under that bus.

....

Perhaps you will agree that he is standing on the US flag - just as bad as stomping on it.

And the Marathon Pundit image apparently has him dancing a jig on the US flag.

Is that picture supposed to look artistic?

But then again, America-hating has been all the rage for quite some time.

Obama should have thrown his presidential candidacy under the bus.

This is the man who wants to meet with Armadihinijad and make peace. He has seen him on TV and will look into his eyes and Know him.

This is the same man who did not understand his pastor of twenty years and trusted his wife and family to him.

This is the same man who did not notice that his wife was starting to sound like his pastor.

This is the same man that it took weeks and weeks of full exposure to reverend Wrights views in the media till he started to understand who he was.

Obama is either a slow learn or he thinks the people are stupid.

He might be right about the people, at least the Democrats.

Of course I agree it’s just as bad, hence my wanting to bloody his schnozzola.

Obama's criticism of his America-hating associates is exactly the same as his expression of love of our country, our culture and our customs...

Guarded and tepid.

I suspect that there are many more such photos of Ayers (and Dohrn), and that Obama has many more such close allies.

The Dem power brokers may soon rue their land rush to Obama.

As current event analysts (like F.R.) continue to reveal Obama's America-hating Marxist/Stalinist/radical inner self, voters of the once-great Democratic party will be repelled away from their America-hating poser in anger and disgust.

  1. Refusal to wear flag pin.
  2. Che flag.
  3. Refusal to at least PRETEND respect to the flag during playing of Star Spangled Banner.
  4. Long, close relationship with a man who preaches "GD America".
  5. Long friendship with a known, unrepentant terrorist who only got off on a legal technicality...and who posed for a post 9/11 pic while desecrating the American flag.

I think we've had the answer to your question for quite a while now.

As for the fact that he didn't condemn Ayers at the time...it's a given that his very first claim will be that he didn't know.

"Getting pretty crowded under that bus."

And poor ol' granny is still wondering what she did to deserve getting thrown under there with excremental scumbags like Ayers and Wright...... she simply didn't want to be robbed at the bus stop and now she's been branded forever as a hopeless racist. Poor granny.
