Obama's mentor William Ayers is risky for McCain-Palin, alright.
He's already bombed the Pentagon. Who's next--- McCain/Palin HQ's?

(CNN) -- During the Democratic primaries, I wrote a column for CNN.com about how easy it is for any candidate to tar and feather another about their associations with less-than-acceptable figures.
Sen. Hillary Clinton tried to blast Sen. Barack Obama for unsolicited comments made by Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan, and folks like Fox News' Sean Hannity were happy to run with it, saying it was evidence that the junior senator from Illinois was unfit to be president.
But critics like Hannity never bothered to raise the issue of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Jack Kemp praising Farrakhan for his focus on self-help. Not only that, nearly everyone in the media was afraid to bring up the fact that Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell had high praise for Farrakhan when Rendell was mayor of Philadelphia, even as the Muslim leader sat just 20 feet away!
Again, blasting one person's associations can come back to bite you.
We now see Gov. Sarah Palin and the McCain campaign trying to stir the pot by invoking William Ayers, a 1960s radical who was a major figure in the Weather Underground, a group that bombed the Pentagon and committed other unspeakable acts of terrorism against their own country.
Palin has been hammering home the point on the campaign trail that Obama and Ayers were friends, "palling around" the Windy City, even though the Weather Underground committed these crimes when Obama was just a child. And never mind the fact that Ayers and Obama were involved in a multimillion-dollar education grant that was funded by a right-wing Republican, media magnate Walter Annenberg. Do you hear any of them castigating this late Republican pillar?

CNN can kiss my a$$!
Risky? You bet! Why, if those two don’t knock it off, they may get elected to the White House or something!
Aw, don’t worry, Roland.
If they would go after it, McCain and (mostly) Palin could keep busy 24/7 talking about all of O’Bambi’s OTHER risky associations.

The only way Barack Obama will be elected President is for us to fail to tell enough voters.

Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

Simpson documents his research in his article, providing Web links. He provides a rough flow chart.

And then there are... Herbert and Marion Sandler, the Pritzkers, and the "loose lips" of Charles Schumer and Harry Reid (and Henry Paulson is not above suspicion, with his control-freak power play and Goldman Sachs cronyism).
Get these articles and pictures out to everyone you know (or anything even more informative that comes up) -- voters, media, officials and staff of both parties, everyone. We have time if we act now.
“...and committed other unspeakable acts of terrorism against their own country.”
That’s the PROBLEM. The Leftist run media DOESN’T WANT TO SPEAK OF THEM!!!
Annenberg right wing? This BS about Ayers and Obama being 8 yrs old is tiresome. Obama launched his political jihad in Ayers house. Ayers is still a radical and unrepentant terrorist and Obama is not 8 yrs old. Why was Ayers so interested in that one? What does Ayers expect to gain from the relationship? A good question raised by a poster tagged Gargantua, earlier, today.
By a FOUNDATION. He's DEAD.
The Weathermen were initially part of the Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM) within the SDS, splitting from the RYM's Maoists by claiming there was no time to build a vanguard party and that revolutionary war against the United States government and the capitalist system should begin immediately. Their founding document called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements[1] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."
The group's first public demonstration:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_Rage
The Days of Rage riots in Chicago took place over a 4-day period beginning October 8, 1969, after members of the Weathermen, a militant offshoot of the Students for a Democratic Society, converged on the city to confront police in the streets in response to the trial of the group of anti-Vietnam War activists known as the "Chicago Eight".
Also good to read up on this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Left
Criticism of the legacy
As many of those who supported the New Left in the 1960s are now in charge of the kinds of institutions they once opposed, conservative opponents argue that their assumptions - which are sometimes described as politically correct multiculturalism - are now the establishment orthodoxy. In what has been described as the culture wars, conservative critics of this orthodoxy such as Allan Bloom and Roger Scruton assert that New Left radical egalitarianism is motivated by anti-Western nihilism.
This article is unbelievable. Roland Martin compares Obama’s relationship with Ayers to McCain’s relationship with Jesse Helms, Strom Thurmond, and Robert Byrd. In other words, he’s saying there is a moral equivalency in Obama cavorting with a terrorist and McCain serving in the Senate with racists.
What kind of twisted mental thought processes did he have to go through to come up with that one? And there countless people who will read that drivel and buy into it. It’s sad.
Obama's excuse was "he didn't know". What's the media's excuse? They dug up Palin's beauty pageant tapes within a month of her candidacy.
Roland should have stuck to bass fishing.
And never mind the fact that Ayers and Obama were involved in a multimillion-dollar education grant that was funded by a right-wing Republican, media magnate Walter Annenberg. Do you hear any of them castigating this late Republican pillar?
It'd be like taking Alfred Nobel to task for his foundation's prize being given to a known terrorist, Yassir Arafat. The BIGGER scandal there is that Al Gore still saw the Nobel Prize as an honorable thing after it was awarded to an antisemite terrorist thug.
Big Shocker . Roland Martin is Black and real Crackpot .
A Jesse Jackson type but dumber .
Is Annenberg running for president? Could the author be grasping at straws any more vigorously? I think that's a 'no' on both counts.
It certainly is thoughtful of all these Democrats to warn John McCain that mentioning Obama’s relationship with the terrorists Ayers and Dohrn might cost him votes. It’s rare to see people in politics looking out for the best interests of their opponents. I, for one, find it commendable and inspiring.
Bombing the Pentagon in a self-declared war against the United States AND meeting with North Vietnamese officials in Vietnam DURING the Vietnam war was an act of treason.
It is a crime as defined in the US Constitution. There is no statute of limitations that I see in the Constitution.
I won't defend the words of racists in the 1940s but it is a crime of a lower order than treason against the nation.
In 1970 the group issued a "Declaration of a State of War" against the United States government, under the name "Weather Underground Organization"

''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.''
Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970's as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago.
Walter Annenberg DIED in 1993. Ayers saw an opportunity to tap into the Education foundation Annenberg had set up to syphon money off to use for his own radical education agenda.
The fact that he plundered and duped the Annenberg Foundation is in no way an endorsement of Ayers' ideology.
Once he had purloined the funds he used his puppet, Obama, to channel the money to his pet projects while rejecting legitimate requests from schools.
Yes. The KKK was a terrorist organization. And in their earliest incarnation, they (Democrats who FOUNDED the KKK) waged an insurgent war against the United States and Republicans in the Reconstruction South. Just like those insurgents in Iraq that the Left supports.
For the record, Robert Byrd still uses the N-word. He defends this practice, saying that there are white n***ers as well as black n***ers. Castigate Senator Byrd all you want. I see him as a vile old bigot from an ancient era. Only a few heartbeats away from the Presidency.
And as to Ayers committing more actions. He has no regrets about setting the bombs and wishes he'd done more.
So, would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? ''I don't want to discount the possibility,'' he said. (from the same 9-11-2001 NY Times article cited above.)
