Bill Ayers: I was Sarah Palin’s road kill
Salon ^ | October 6, 2013 | Bill Ayers

Posted on 10/06/2013 10:40:43 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Excerpted from "Public Enemy: Confessions of an American Dissident"

“This is not a man who sees America as you see it and how I see America,” vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin cried out to the agitated crowd during a 2008 campaign rally, referring to then-Senator Barack Obama. “We see America as the greatest force for good in this world” and as a “beacon of light and hope for others who seek freedom and democracy.” This was how “real Americans” saw things, according to Palin. As for Obama, he’s “someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country!”

There it was: the punch line that would resonate no matter what else was said or done— palling around. It had a special creepy ring to it, for sure.

When Governor Palin—or, as our late friend Studs Terkel called her, “Joe McCarthy in drag”—uttered it that first time (and ever after) the crowd exploded: “Kill him! Kill him!” I couldn’t tell for sure whether it was me or Senator Obama who was the target of those chants— perhaps both. I’d been designated a public enemy before. I knew the territory pretty well and accepted the consequences with some equanimity, but now poor Barack Obama as well was forced to play Ibsen’s brilliant character, the embattled Dr. Thomas Stockmann, the “enemy of the people.” Stockmann was viciously taunted in the public square by a chorus of townspeople bent on delusion and self-deception: Kill the enemy of the people!

There was no way to prepare for what was about to hit me, of course....

Violence is a legitimate means of political change, eh Bill?

But you're lying about the chanting. Never happened.

Read an article not that long ago by one of his former followers - a female. She told of how - back in the day - she was verbally bullied into having sex while Ayers watched. Not wanting to do it but trying to be a good little revolutionary she did it and all these years later finally came out with the truth about what a disgusting person Ayers is.

Satan has always pretended to be Jesus.

And well over half of the so-called “Christians” have happily given him a pat on the head.

If she could find him walking a back road in Alaska, I am sure she would consider making him road kill.

Has more to do with being a public figure. Defamation is nigh unto impossible to win once your name is out there as part of the public discourse. Free speech issue. About the only realistic recourse is more free speech, I.e., Ayers putting out articles and interviews in an attempt to rehabilitate his reputation.

It only matters if the low information voters are influenced by this.

Otherwise it’s just name calling.

Thank you very much for pinging this one, because I’m not going to read it.

I saw someone say crowds chant “kill him” a couple of days ago on Facebook too. Weird

LOL. The “tin foil hat” excuse no longer hold in this age of Obama and the Internet... but do you mean to say you don't believe freemasonry exists? Or are you saying you don't believe it is ultimately anti-Christian and Satanic?

Bernadine Dohrn throws the “clenched fist” as well as the satanic peace sign of death with Breitbart: http://chicagoist.com/2012/03/01/andrew_breitbarts_dinner_with_bill.php

Note the checkered floor as Hitler practices his Thule Society freemason hand signs.

Or are you saying that you don't believe Saul Alinsky really dedicated his book to Satan?

Or are you saying don't understand that Stalin and Hitler were Satanists and freemasons? http://www.thehereticmagazine.com/page_stalin.html

Sometime a peace sign is just a peace sign.....I seriously doubt most hippies who used it were not aware of it’s occult symbolism....

Wouldn’t you agree his “brand” was improved with his core audience by his mention from Sarah Palin, and is not in need of “rehabilitating?” For Bill Ayers to claim any kind of damage is laughable.

Most hippies didn't believe in the culling of 30 million people from the population as do Ayers and Dohrn (and as do satanic freemasons).

Most hippies didn't murder people, either. But Satanists and freemasons do -- and Ayers and Dohrn did. Just saying that her ‘peace sign”, thrown inverted over her chest, and the clenched fist on her friend's shoulder, posed with Andrew Breitbart for this photo when he was in her hone — is suspicious.

There is no one more sensitive than an American liberal/leftist criminal or terrorist who has been caught and called out in public.

Look how Obama snivels whenever someone points out the truth about him.

Pure propaganda. The people who read Salon and perhaps the writers of same are completely brainwashed.

They have been so intensely subjected to hard left conditioning that anything not conformed perfectly to it must be in error and therefore discarded as untrue.
