September 11, 2001 I dont regret setting bombs. I feel we didnt do enough. Ayers is quoted in a New York Times article.
His name is AYERS! Not Ayres.
Please pardon my ignorance, but how is it that Ayers isn’t in jail for life? I suspect it’s some prosecutorial screw-up, but if someone can provide the specifics, I would greatly appreciate it.
another FYI, watch for a FReepmail
bump
Where does it say this in the linked video? It only says it was founded by Wade Rathke, a comrade of Ayers. It does our cause no good to spread lies.
There’s another thread up about this- making the same claim.
I’ve watched the video twice and there is no reference to Ayers being a co-founder of ACORN. An associate of his from the SDS days was a founder.
We know Ayers has a strong connection with ACORN- but as yet there’s no proof he was a co-founder.
If someone can show me at what point in this video it says otherwise- please let me know.
It’s WRONG. ACORN was founded be SEIU founder, Rathke. It received money from CAC which was put together by Ayers and run by Obama with Ayers as head of its operating arm.
Spreading falsehoods is not helpful. Intentionally or not, this is a falsehood.
Post #23, from the person who made the video, on the other thread:
I dont think the video says ACORN was founded by Ayers... I think it says that ACORN and Weather Underground were both formed out of SDS...
Correct. Ayers and Rathke were SDS members together. Ayers former WUO in 1968, Rathke formed ACORN in 1970. Both groups are breakaways from Students for a Democratic Society.
Ayers and Obama helped finance ACORN together at the Annenberg Challenge, then again at the Woods Fund.
Klonsky, another SDS'er, received Annenberg grants from Obama/Ayers for a different project, the Small Schools Workshop (which was also created by Ayers; Klonsky was pulled from his job as a cab driver to run Small Schools).
Also, until very recently, Klonsky ran a blog on Obama's official website until the campaign scrubbed it.
One big happy Hyde Park family.
