Here's how they are touting the 175 Featured "Visionary Speakers" for Seattle, June 5-6, 2010:
William Ayers, Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago.....
Bernardine Dohrn, activist, academic and child advocate, is Clinical Associate Professor of the Northwestern University School Law.
Dohrn was a national leader of SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) and the Weather Underground, and was on the FBIs 10 Most Wanted List for over a decade.
She is coauthor, with Bill Ayers, of Race Course: Against White Supremacy and coeditor of Sing A Battle Song: Documents of the Weather Underground, and wrote the introduction to Letters from Young Activists.

BTW, of the 162 members of the host committee, 24 are listed as public employees, mostly City of Seattle. Our tax dollars hard at work.
More violence from the left -- guilty as hell, free as a bird.
But there's hope that in this one long-dormant case there will be justice in the birds lifetime.
"[S]ome investigators say they are troubled by the impunity with which Ayers and Dohrn have peddled a version of the past wiped clean of bloodshed."
Weathermens Ticking Time Bomb
University employees and high ranking government and media employees are facing growing difficulties protecting Mr. and Mrs. Bill Ayers.
"[S]peaking publicly for the first time about the investigation, former FBI agents have told Village Voice Media the basis for their belief that the Weather Underground was behind McDonnells murder. The agents have revealed that two credible eyewitnesses both former left-wing radicals tied to the Weathermen gave detailed statements to investigators in the 1970s alleging that Dohrn and Howard Machtinger, another member of the group, were personally involved in organizing the deadly attack."
The fact that they are still alive and unmolested, goes to show that the liberals screaming that the right is inhabited by Nazi’s is a flat out lie.
This is sickening. Neither of these people deserve to be anywhere but a jail cell.
what City of Seattle employees???
The Green Movement clearly displays it’s ties and admiration to domestic terrorism and organized crime. When will the sheeple that think “being green” is wonderful, wake the hell up?
Conservatives should go down to those meetings with notepads and learn some lessons about political strategy. (In suitable disguise - peel those bumper stickers off or hire a Prius)
These communist terrorist freaks got Barry into the White House in a conservative nation; they are probably worth paying attention to in terms of the dark arts of electioneering.
Been reading a book about Goldwater’s campaign, and the way his team drew on the ruthless machiavellian strategies of 30s communists.

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

Article: Obama's Foul Weather Friends
By Scott Swett and Roger Canfield
"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who [Bernardine] Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' "
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/obamas_foul_weather_friends.html
"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.
One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.
The Annenberg papers are quite extensive 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

The Obama-Ayers Connection
By Dick Morris
###
In the best tradition of Bill Clinton’s famous declaration that the answer to the question of whether or not he was having an affair with Monica depended on “what the definition of ‘is’ is,” Barack Obama was clearly splitting hairs and concealing the truth when he said that William Ayers was “just a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”
The records of the administration of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), released last week by the University of Illinois, show that the Ayers-Obama connection was, in fact, an intimate collaboration and that it led to the only executive or administrative experience in Obama’s life.
After Walter Annenberg’s foundation offered several hundred million dollars to American public schools in the mid-’90s, William Ayers applied for $50 million for Chicago. The purpose of his application was to secure funds to “raise political consciousness” in Chicago’s public schools.
After he won the grant, Ayers’s group chose Barack Obama to distribute the money. Between 1995 and 1999, Obama distributed the $50 million and raised another $60 million from other civic groups to augment it.
In doing so, he was following Ayers’s admonition to grant the funds to “external” organizations, like American Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize the students and politicize them.
Reading, math and science achievement tests counted for little in the CAC grants, but the school’s success in preaching a radical political agenda determined how much money they got.
Barack Obama should have run screaming at the sight of William Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn. Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol building and the Pentagon, and his wife was sent to prison for failing to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink’s armored car in which two police officers were killed.
Far from remorse, Ayers told The New York Times in September 2001 that he “wished he could have done more.”
Ayers only avoided conviction when the evidence against him turned out to be contained in illegally obtained wiretaps by the FBI. He was, in fact, guilty as sin.
That Obama should ally himself with Ayers is almost beyond understanding. The former terrorist had not repented of his views and the education grants he got were expressly designed to further them.
So let’s sum up Obama’s Chicago connections. His chief financial supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to federal prison. His spiritual adviser and mentor was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, of “God damn America” fame. And the guy who got him his only administrative job and put him in charge of doling out $50 million is William Ayers, a terrorist who was a domestic Osama bin Laden in his youth.
Even apart from the details of the Obama/Ayers connection, two key points emerge:
a) Obama lied and misled the American people in his description of his relationship with Ayers as casual and arm’s-length; and
b) Obama was consciously guided by Ayers’s radical philosophy, rooted in the teachings of leftist Saul Alinksy, in his distribution of CAC grant funds.
Since Obama is asking us to let him direct education spending by the federal government and wants us to trust his veracity, these are difficulties he will have to explain in order to get the votes to win.
Now that Obama is comfortably ahead in the polls, attention will understandably shift to him. We will want to know what kind of president he would make. The fact that, within the past 10 years, he participated in a radical program of political education conceptualized by an admitted radical terrorist offers no reassurance.
Why did Obama put up with Ayers?
Because he got a big job and $50 million of patronage to distribute to his friends and supporters in Chicago.
Why did he hang out with Jeremiah Wright? Because he was new in town, having grown up in Hawaii and Indonesia and having been educated at Columbia and Harvard, and needed all the local introductions he could get to jump-start his political career.
Why was he so close to Rezko?
Because he funded Obama’s campaigns and helped him buy a house for $300,000 less than he otherwise would have had to pay.
Not a good recommendation for a president.

I agree.
A country that doesn’t hang or shoot its traitors will end up ruled by them.
Dohrn is a murderer.
If the gov had any guts they’d arrest her and try to prove it -— then she’d have her day in court.
