” He’s never apologized for that.”

That’s it? He should simply apologize and everything would be all right? How about a long prison term?

"Only a few weeks after the attack, the New York contingent of the Weathermen blew themselves up making more bombs in a Greenwich Village townhouse. The same cell had bombed my house, writes Ron Jacobs in The Way the Wind Blew: A History of the Weather Underground."

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6808

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherman_(organization)#Chronology_of_events

So much to say here. And I don’t think too many would like all my responses.

Here’s an intersting aside: the author of this article is a Yonkers City Councilman. If Obama is elected President, he could run for higher office.

As I’ve said before, the Weather Underground are no better than the 1965 Alabama church bombers.

If any Republican had been friendly with some of them, how well do you think the “I was 8 years old when they blew up those girls” excuse would play?

this story is strange for me, because i have been through somewhat similar circumstances. my father has been a common pleas court judge for 35 years and my mother was a schoolteacher. growing up, i had to deal with trashcans being run over by a car, slashed tires, a $100,000 hit put out on my dad (in 1982 dollars), and an unexploded pipe bomb left in the front yard.

we were not provided police protection, but my dad purchased many guns over the years.

two states away, in tennessee, i met a few guys at a campsite. we started talking and finally exchanged full names. when they found out what my last name was, they went into a frenzy and literally ripped apart a park bench, threatening my life with the boards removed from it.

not that anything in my experience can come close to what's included in this article. i still remain slightly paranoid when it comes to meeting new people. i always question their motives if they want to get to know me a little better.

I read this and I ask myself what has happened to our country. Have we reached the point where we will ignore anything just for the sake of change? How can a man like Obama be leading in the polls? HOW!

No, on second thought I will say some of the things on my mind.

I’m sorry that you lived through this bombing.

But being the progeny of a judge from New York and stating that you were in favor of Obama up to the point that the Ayres connection was brought up makes me want to puke.

I’m willing to bet that your father was a part of the liberal establishment. I’m willing to bet that if I dug a little, I’d find out that your father was one of the people who (like their counterparts today) are acting as the willing idiots for terrorists today. And in typical left wing fashion, being as this happened to YOU PERSONALLY is the only reason you have a problem with it.

Meanwhile there are people just like you all over the United States who know everything you just said, but because it didn’t happen to THEM PERSONALLY they don’t care.

So - how does it feel to think that you’re very possibly contributing to the deaths of your fellow 9 year old countrymen? Is it reasonable to assume that unless you know said 9 year olds personally, you don’t care?

I’m just curious.

Not big on reading comprehension, huh?

“Though never a supporter of Obama, I admired him for a time...”

It would be like if Timothy McVeigh were alive today and not locked up and I had a role in politics and were pals with him. I could say, well you know, he did that stuff when I was 11, so its not an issue.

“But being the progeny of a judge from New York and stating that you were in favor of Obama up to the point that the Ayres connection was brought up makes me want to puke.”

And to think, all that effort that you spent typing up that rant could have been saved if you wouldn’t have skipped the part about him never supporting Obama.

“I’m willing to bet that your father was a part of the liberal establishment. I’m willing to bet that if I dug a little, I’d find out that your father was one of the people who (like their counterparts today) are acting as the willing idiots for terrorists today. And in typical left wing fashion, being as this happened to YOU PERSONALLY is the only reason you have a problem with it.”

And I am willing to bet that if you would dig a little you would find that John Murtagh is a Republican Councilman from Yonkers running for a seat in the NY State Senate.

Guess we can say that your rant literally contained not one word of factually accurate or intellectually significant material. Good work.
