Great Van Susteren: Possible connection between ACORN and Bill Ayers

Greta Wire (Fox News) ^ | October 16, 2008 | Greta Van Susteren

[Tree of Liberty]

Read this…

1. The Secretary of State of Ohio Jennifer Brunner filed a request in the Supreme Court relating to the underlying claim in her state that there has been voter registration fraud…with ties to the work of ACORN in registering voters.

2.  A group — the Service Employees International Union [SEIU] — filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court asking the Supreme Court to rule with the Secretary of State of Ohio (and essentially asking for a ruling that would be favorable to ACORN in that it would “call off the dogs.”)

3.  I thought it curious that SEIU would file an amicus brief for Brunner and did some quick research …and now I need more indepth research (which is where YOU come in.)  According to my quick research..the same person who started ACORN, started SIEU.  His name is Wade Rathke. So then I wondered, who is Wade Rathke?

4.  I did some really quick research and learned that Rathke was a member of the anti war group SDS.  This is where YOU come in again.  If you know 60’s history, you know that the Weather Underground was an offshoot of SDS.  There was some disagreement in the late 60’s and members of the SDS - Bill Ayers and his wife - left and formed/ joined the Weather Underground.

So now I am wondering: do Rathke and Ayers know each other (from SDS / Weather Underground days)? what is the connection now, if any, between them? between ACORN and SEIU? between them and Senator Obama?

Greta’s husband is an attorny and a PUMA. I have no doubt that they can take care of themselves.

Good analysis. One SDS member in particular is of interest. Mike Klonsky, during this time he became maoist communist. Was one of the first Americans to visit China when Americans were not allowed into China for various reasons.

Recently, within the past 10 years, he drive a taxi in Chicago and thru his earlier connections with Bill Ayers, he was hired to a position at the University of Illinois as an instructor or chair of a class or section call “Child Educational Workshop.” NO sure of the exact name.

Both Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn are admitted communists.

Since I'm a child of the 60’s, we had to sign a document before we were employable stating that we were not communists and that we did not “pal” around with commies.

That's why Ayers go a job outside the country working as a merchant marine about a ship with a foreign registry.

Ayers’ father was a very wealthy, of great means serving as the CEO of Common Wealth Edison. One of the nations largest electric power producers.

Ayers, like Marx, is just a upper middle class spoiled child who never grew up and never learned to be grateful for all the world provided to him. Neither probably ever did much in the way of real work.

Somebody please tell McCain... that Ayers is a lot more than just “an old, washed up terrorist”.

I have found that McCain doen't listen:D

The same Tides Center/Tides Foundation that Teresa Heinz Kerry supports with the money she inherited from the late Senator John Heinz (R-Pennsylvania)? The circle just goes ‘round and ‘round doesn’t it?

You have a point. I guess by involving your audience, you get more viewers. Also keeps staff costs down. Besides hosting a pretty good TV show, she is a smart business woman.

From what I have seen of Greta covering the election, she has been very fair. Thanks for posting this.

Please refresh my memory: what, exactly, is the “TUCC”?

[SERKIT]

Please refresh my memory: what, exactly, is the “TUCC”?

Trinity United Church of Christ - Wright's church where 3 members were murdered execution style. One of the victims apparently reached out to an Obama detractor just before being murdered. That detractor held a news conference in DC to discuss this and other issues and was arrested, extradited, and incarcerated by Delaware AG Beau Biden. He was released around the same time VP candidate Joe Biden was chosen. I think it stinks, but the issue is too radioactive to make it into the news.

I don’t for a second believe McCain doesn’t know more than we do about what Ayers has been up to all these years. The “old, washed-up terrorist” is just a line to rile Ayers, who still thinks he’s hot xhit.

[Technical Editor]

If he thought he was a old washed-up terrorist, do you think he’d be invoking his name? Why else is he asking for Obama to tell the truth about the full extent of the relationship?

I still think the guy in the headshot halfway down this page looks like Obama!!!!!

[proudtobeanamerican1]

Greta is pretty angry about Obama slamming Fox every day.

[Columbo]

Great stuff here. it's all tying together so nicely. Also note that the president of the Chicago ACORN in the early 1990's, Ted Thomas was a prominent New Party member.

[Columbo]

SEIU and ACORN dominated the New Party in Chicago.

“But the nature of Chicago ACORN is secondary to the inevitable dynamics of the situation. As the single 800 pound gorilla in the Chicago New Party, it doesn’t leave a lot of room for newcomers to participate except on ACORN’s terms. This will make it difficult for the New Party to have a life apart from ACORN.” http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng38.html#anchor1869108

“...the NP is a true “Rainbow Coalition” consisting of both young and aged African-Americans, Hispanics and Caucasians. Although ACORN and SEIU Local 880 were the harbingers of the NP there was a strong presence of CoC and DSA (15% DSA).” http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng42.html#anchor792932

Ah, yes: Trinity United Church of Christ. Certainly never been Christian!

Do you happen to have the names of the murdered victims? I know about two men Obama was linked with romantically.

“In 1970, one of George Wiley’s protégés, Wade Rathke — like Bill Ayers, a member of the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) — was sent to found the Arkansas Community Organizations for Reform Now.”

Wasn’t there some Wiley lady in ARK that Bill Clinton raped?
I wonder if he knows these people too?
