It’s a f***ing disgrace - this is driving me nuts.
the little -known one?
It was pretty much already established that Ayers was at this dinner. And that Obama was up there with him.
The controversy is whether Obama was APPLAUDING the antisemitic statements.
TOWNHALL.com: "EGO AND MOUTH" by Thomas Sowell (COLUMN SNIPPET: "The kind of self-righteous self-confidence that has become Obama's trademark is usually found in sophomores in Ivy League colleges-- very bright and articulate students, utterly untempered by experience in real world. The signs of Barack Obama's self-centered immaturity are painfully obvious, though ignored by true believers who have poured their hopes into him, and by the media who just want the symbolism and the ideology that Obama represents.") (October 31, 2008)
I guess a week or two from now we’ll know the answer to that one. Thanks for the post.
I can only imagine what the wall-to-wall coverage would be like had this been McCain at this dinner. Or for that matter, ANY Republican!
A profound lessons is being taught in this election: Ayers and his fellow ‘60s domestic terrorists should have been locked up for the crimes they committed back in the day.
Half the left-tards in this country were blowing things up and plotting revolution at one point. Sane people choose to let them get away with it. How much will we pay for being tolerant and decent people? Everything?
They all should have got the electric chair. One Molotov cocktail should be enough to be punished with death on the first offense, every time.

For “just a guy in my neighborhood”, Ayers sure seems to turn up together with Obama an awful lot. More than some married couples.
I think one can also look at this in the same light as Obama being in the congregation at Trinity.
He knew the players, he knew the line-up and he knew what they were going to be pitching. He didn’t think he was going to an ice cream social or a fish fry.
He knew, and whether he applauded or not, he was there. He was one of them and was counted among them. He had no idea a Marxist idiot such as himself would be in a position to be the POTUS then.
One does not have to applaud to approve. I would think the reason the tape is being held back is not about what he applauded, but rather, what he said when he spoke. He is a narcissist and it is all about him and I can not imagine that he would allow himself to be outdone by any of the rest of the vermin who spoke that night.
Yes, the bottom line is he was/is palling around with terrorists and is determined to bring their ideals and way of life to the United States of America and her citizens.
I respectfully disagree. In 2000, George W. Bush merely made a speech at Bob Jones Univ. in Greenville, SC. The Democrats went NUTS because at that time, BJU had a policy that forbade interracial dating between students. The Dems tried to make the case that by his very presence, GWB approved of and supported that policy.
I believe that it is time that we started holding these folks to the same "standards" that they hold others to.
they were traitors to the United States during the Vietnam War and publicly declared war on the united state. they should have been tried and executed. The claim was that there was a bungle of the prosecution. This was during the era of post-vietnam “forgetfulness” that let Jane Fonda and other enemies of the state also go without prosecution beacause they wanted these skeletons just to go remain hidden in a closet and never again discussed in polite company.
They are Stalinists. they have no standards. They shout for power and will cover up any of their own transgressions. George Orwell saw it in his day and it turned him off of socialism. He wrote Animal Farm and 1984 as a result.
Bill Ayers had sex with a male member of the Weather Underground. His girlfriend died in the apartment explosion. He ended up marrying another woman from the Underground. They were swingers. They wanted to smash the institution of marriage.
Who’s to say that barry “O” wasn’t put in a compromising position. There was antoher gay communist that he sat on’s knee and then the lingering Larry Sinclair allegation.
“.....Sane people choose to let them get away with it....”
Ciao Mad_as_heck,
Bad enough, but the same sane people then allowed them to become educators. They regaled them with millions and millions to teach CHILDREN. That’s the real rub.
Amnesties one might understand in certain circumstances, but amnesty+social respectability+monetary reward... THAT to me is insanity. Add the unrepentance of Ayers and Signora, and then we really have insanity.
Ayers, Wright, Pfleger, Odinga, Acorn, Rezko, Khahlidi... When is it that even the Happy Jack Kumbuyahs of the world start thinking?
If you think about it - this is really the last election that the counter-culture/60’s radicals can hold onto their power. If we choose to let them.
That’s why I’m voting for McCain/Palin...it’s time for those who grew up under the Reagan years to step up and lead the nation.
Didn’t Reagan in 1980 start to surge the Thursday before the election?
We are rich, fat, and self-satisfied. Most people in this country can't even imagine real hardship. We think the world is one big season of American Idol or Girls Gone Wild video. Soon the people will be finding out what hunger, cold, hopelessness, fear, and want really feel like. Maybe we need a little suffering...
It an outrage. These people are payed with our tax dollars to destroy the lives of our children. If Lee Harvey Oswald had missed he'd be a tenured college professor or a Senator....
