Let’s make everyone aware that we are talking about TRAITORS and TERRORISTS who banded together with our enemies in time of war:
# July, 1969 Members Bernardine Dohrn, Eleanor Raskin, Dianne Donghi, Peter Clapp, David Millstone and Diana Oughton travel to Cuba and meet representatives of the North Vietnamese and Cuban governments.
# August 1969 Weatherman member Linda Sue Evans travels to North Vietnam. Weatherman activists meet in Cleveland, Ohio, in preparation for “Days of Rage” protests scheduled for October, 1969 in Chicago.

This man, Ward Churchill, will address the Democrat convention. Now tell me. Is he a revolutionary or a terrorist?
The answer? Neither.
They are all cut from the same cloth , liberal socialists who have become fascists.They come from the same place that fascists of the 1930s did. They are certainly not "revolutionaries" as they think in justifying the threat of violence against free Americans in order to establish their socialist Utopia. Why do you think the Dems want to "Reasonably Regulate" 2nd amendment rights? They don't want anyone shooting back at them.
And Ayers is the same, an f'n stone cold fascisti.
And its high time we started to recognize them for what they are and call them on it. In public.

This man, Mumia Abu Jamal, is a convicted cop killer, will address the Dem convention through a video taken in prison. The Obama campaign thinks this is just fine.
The Dems are indeed turning into fascists. Look at the array of so called ,"revolutionaries" they bring forward to speak, people who have used violence or the threat of it to impose their socialist Utopia on America. And now they seek to cow America into voting for them?
That is genuine dyed in the wool fascism.
The outing of the Obama Ayers connetion is not in a vacuum. The Dems intend to parade a whole coterie of these petty fascists at their convention, in order to cause Democrats everywhere to rise up agianst their "Republican" oppressors, with Ward Churchill and Jamal among them.
Workers of America Untie, you have nothing to lose but your brains!.
What a sad state of politics into which the Dem party has descended.
Obama has just lost the election.

Re the October 21, 1981 Brinks Robbery (last on the list):
Bernardine Dohrn, wife of Bill Ayers and leader of the SDS, which gave birth to the Weathermen/Weather Underground, was sentenced to a year in prison for refusing to testify about her connection to the string of robberies which culminated in the 1981 Brinks heist.
Dohrn worked in a NYC boutique called "Broadway Babies," where ID's of customers were stolen and used to rent trucks used in the robberies.
Dohrn served seven months of the term in 1983, then she and Ayers (who had two kids at the time) married, and proceeded to adopt Chesa Boudin, son of Cathy Boudin and David Gilbert, former WU members, who were convicted of the 1981 crime which left nine children orphaned, the youngest being six months old.
And...Obama was 20 years old at the time of the 1981 robbery, and living in New York City, in the same Columbia University area where Ayers and Dohrn lived.
To: CedarDave
Clearly WUO ‘didn’t do enough’ as Ayers claims...no wonder he’s ‘proud’...my favorite:
“6 March 1970 WUO members Theodore Gold, Diana Oughton, and Terry Robbins are killed in the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, when a nailbomb they were constructing detonates. The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer’s dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.”
Now a dozen or two more of those ‘inconvenient explosions’, and the RIF in WUO personnel may have been enough to convince terrorists that the job description sucks!
