[KoRn]

Incredible article!

The reporting out the the UK during this campaign has been far better than our own national media here at home.

[housedeep]

one of the things i think freepers should join together and do...is create a list of 25 questions we want to ask obama...we could circulate it via email and blogs...it could be a powerful viral tool.

[wastoute]

This election has just been one massive manipulation by the lamestream media. They have spent twelve years creating the legend of McCain for the express purpose of beating him. Check it out, the NYSlimes never ran a negative piece on him until within 24 hours of his being the nominee. Meanwhile as this article points out they have known about Obama’s past all along and specifically failed to publish anything about it. The truly distressing aspect of all this is that 50% of our fellow citizens are falling for it.

"This is a guy [Bill Ayers] who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis."

[Obama] is named Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge founded by Bill Ayers
(article typo has Ayers instead of Obama)

In late 1993, Bill Ayers, now an associate professor of education at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus, organized a team to put together a grant proposal to secure nearly $50 million from the Annenberg Challenge. The money was to be used by Ayers and co. to bolster the radical Local School Councils reform project that Ayers and Obama had championed back in 1988 through the ABCs.

The grant application was successful and in early 1995 Barack Obama was named chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Ayers was named co-chair of the Challenge’s operative and strategic body, the Chicago School Reform Collaborative. Ayers and Obama work together for the next five years on raising an additional $60 million in matching money from local foundations and corporations and using the money to intervene in the governance of the Chicago public schools.

The Challenge through a multi-million dollar Leadership Development Initiative intervened in the School Council elections in the middle of what was known as the Chicago School Wars. At the same time Chicago Mayor Richard Daley was pushing, successfully, to gut the power of the Councils.

"The Small Schools Workshop was founded in 1991 at the University of Illinois at Chicago to provide support for teachers who were trying to create new smaller learning environments. Its director is Michael Klonsky, a former professor of education at UIC."

Some background on Bill Ayers' SDS comrade, Michael Klonsky
(Chicago Annenberg Challenge-related)

"One of Bill Ayers’ and Bernardine Dohrn’s comrades in the late 60s Students for a Democratic Society was Mike Klonsky. When Dohrn and Ayers moved in one direction toward the violent tactics of the Weather Underground, Klonsky, in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, dropped the pro-Russian communist politics of his parents and became a committed Maoist. As leader of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) in 1977 [not to be confused with Communist Party USA. CPML no longer exists, CPUSA formed decades earlier and is still around-ETL], he travelled to Beijing and was toasted by the senior Beijing leadership.

When the crazy left of the 70s died in the 80s, Klonsky went to graduate school in education in Florida and then moved to Chicago.

While driving a cab there he [Michael Klonsky] was recruited by his old friend Bill Ayers to head up a new project called the Small Schools Workshop in 1991. It’s offices were in the Department of Education building at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus where Ayers taught.

In 1995 the newly formed Chicago Annenberg Challenge headed by Ayers and Obama gave the Workshop a grant of $175,000.

The Annenberg Challenge also had its office space in the same building as Ayers Department and the Workshop, rent free courtesy of the University.

In 2008 Klonsky ran a blog on the official Obama campaign website on education policy and “social justice” teaching. When discussion of the Klonsky blog emerged in the blogosphere, it was promptly shut down by the campaign and all of the posts made by Klonsky were removed from the site."

________________________________________________________

In 1977, the October League was reorganized as the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) [again, not Communist Party USA (CPUSA) -ETL] and former SDS activist Michael Klonsky became party chairman. Also in 1977, Klonsky traveled to China and the CPML was recognized by the Chinese Communist Party as its official sister party in America.

(snip)

In January 1981, Michael Klonsky resigned as party chairman, and the CPML disbanded that same year.

The previous Red Encyclopedia description of the CPML was incorrectly combined with that of the Communist Party USA (Marxist-Leninist).

Article title: "No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives; In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen"

"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.

Bill Ayers TODAY (April 6, 2008), from his own red communist star-headed website, begging to debate communism vs capitalism with Sean Hannity and STILL calling for revolution!

"Imperialism. I’m against it, and if Sean Hannity and others were honest, this is the ground they would fight me on. Capitalism played its role historically and is exhausted as a force for progress: built on exploitation, theft, conquest, war, and racism, capitalism and imperialism must be defeated and a world revolution—a revolution against war and racism and materialism, a revolution based on human solidarity and love, cooperation and the common good —must win.

We begin by releasing our most hopeful dreams and our most radical imaginations: a better world is both possible and necessary.

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:

"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.

The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

"Bill Ayers"
Arrrrrrgh!!!!! Every time I see that maggot's name I wanna .....

Anyway, I get really, really, really 'ticked' that MY state taxes help to pay this (expletive deleted) salary at the U of I Chicago.

As far as I'm concerned he should be sitting in an 8'x10' at the AdMax (ADX) Prison in Florence Colorado with the rest of the terrorists. Not walking around free as a bird and breathing MY air!

great article

how sad for our country that this man is even running for president

And there was concern about Bill and the Arkansas Mafia ...

Obama, last night at the debate, talked about a bracelet he had received from the mom of a deceased soldier who had urged him to bring the troops home immediately in order to get them out of harm's way. But what he didn't say is that his buddy and Annenberg Challenge partner, Bill Ayers, received a bracelet from the North Vietnamese communists. The ring was made from the metal of U.S. aircraft shot down over Vietnam. Gee, I wonder why he didn't mention that?

From American Thinker, September 16, 2008
Article: Obama's Foul Weather Friends
By Scott Swett and Roger Canfield

"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' He said, 'I realized...America was an evil... and that I was... living inside the belly of the beast...' "

When discussing this with liberals, don’t try to memorize this information!
Use your awareness to ask questions of the BO supporter:

How did B.O. pay for Harvard?
How did he become president of the the Harvard Law Review?
Don’t you usually have to WRITE SOMETHING?
Where are B.O.’s writings?

1. He didn’t pay, a Saudi paid.
2. He was “plugged in” to the Law Review position, as there is no evidence that he earned it.
3. He either wrote NOTHING, or they are afraid to reveal what he wrote. WHICH IS IT?

From The Gateway Pundit, June 26, 2008:

Obama Throws Maoist Hardliner and Weatherman Pal Under the Bus

Mike Klonsky, the Maoist Hardliner, Obama supporter and former best friend of the Weatherman terrorist group founders William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, received a $175,000 grant from the William Ayers/Barack Obama-led Annenberg Challenge to run the Small Schools Workshop.

Klonsky belonged to the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and was best friends with William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn who later became famous for their acts of terrorism when the SDS broke up and the Weathermen terror group was formed.

Between 1979 and 1981, Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) (CPML) [not Communist Party USA] chairman and Obama supporter Mike Klonsky was repeatedly feted with state-dinner-level visits to Beijing.

Yesterday, Klonsky was posting a blog on the Obama website:

But, that was yesterday.

Today [June 2008] his blog was removed from the Obama website.
Comrade Klonsky is no longer with us.

“...let alone his relationship with fraudster Tony Rezko.”

Whose money came from N. Auchi whom is the Billionaire Gun Runner and World villain whom also happened to be Sadam Hussein’s Oil Minister at the time of the UN “Oil for food” scandal.

One can only marvel at the lot of quality associations one finds surrounding Obama on his travels to this point of his history.

[Ron C.]

This post omits significant links in the Phillips article, the most awesome being the link to Trevor Loudon’s expose of Obama – where you’ll find (in my estimation) the most devastating documentation of Obama’s ties to ‘Reds, Radicals, Terrorists and Traitors’ that I have seen anywhere.

See Loudon’s ‘Obama File 27’ – and click prior and subsequent File numbers at the top of each of Loudon’s posts to see how thoroughly Louden has tied Obama to ‘Reds’ like Tom Haden, Jane Fonda and all the rest of the 60’s radical and traitorous pukes that we know so well.

They all support, endorse, and/or friends and mentors and advisors of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

They all hate America, they all want to destroy America as we know it. They all want the United States to retreat in the war on terror, and they all want to make over the United States into a marxist/socialist/collective nation

Obama’s own core ideology/theology, coincide with these people.
This says all you need to know about Obama.. You can and should judge a man by the company he keeps.
Maybe this explains Obama hands were over his crotch instead of saluting the flag/anthem and refusing to wear the flag pin- claiming to do so was ‘false patriotism’.

Isn’t it amazing all the hoopla during Bush’s presidential run about his drinking troubles in his youth, but all these troubling connections and associations leading directly to obama and there’s crickets from the media.
