Obama Praised 'Searing and Timely' Book by Ayers

Barack Obama, who has consistently downplayed his relationship with William Ayers during his presidential campaign, once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by the former domestic terrorist and was mentioned by name in the book itself. A blogger unearthed the Dec. 21, 1997, endorsement in the Chicago Tribune and posted photographs of the praise for Ayers' book on Zombietime.com Saturday. Featured next to a smiling photograph of himself, then-State Senator Obama called Ayers' book, "A Kind and Just Parent: Children of the Juvenile Court," a "searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair."

Regardless of this election or its outcome, Bill Ayers, his wife, Bernadine Dorhn, and other anarchist bombers of the 60s and 70s need to be shunned; and driven from public life. These criminals cannot be rehabilitated as "educators" and "reformers" until some atonement for their murderous activities has been exacted. That means no more symposiums, honorariums, seminars, or posh speaking engagements. They must be challenged at every expenditure in an academic venue. The fact that such vile revolutionaries are ensconced in privilege is truly a travesty. Bill Ayers has the chutzpa to write books about "teaching", "ethics", and "morality". It's all drek in view of his heinous and arrogant embrace of the bomb. Can we imagine this fiend, willing to incinerate judges, police officers, their families, and even his own girlfriend in the pursuit of his mad utopian fantasy, as a TEACHER? Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorhn, and all of their complicit entourage are scum. Let's say it plainly and deny them the sanctuary they seek among the schoolkids.

What bothers me is that all these associations, Ayers, Acorn,Fannie/Freddie don’t seem to mean a thing. This EVIL man keeps climbing in the polls like none of this ever happened.
