Communist “scholar” whose career is dedicated to radicalizing the youth (bombing didn’t work so well).

Obama’s Real Problem With Ayers
INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY ^ | October 07, 2008

Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2008 12:02:43 PM by jessduntno

Election ‘08: At an education forum in Venezuela, Bill Ayers showed the real issue is not his terrorist past. It’s the socialist revolutionary agenda that he and Barack Obama want to impose on the nation’s schools.

Still more evidence of how the media are in the tank for Obama was evident in Tom Brokaw’s description of Ayers on Sunday’s “Meet The Press.”

“School reformer” is how Brokaw identified the co-founder of the Weather Underground, the radical organization that, among other activities, bombed government buildings, banks, police departments and military bases in the early 1970s.

Yeah, right: Ayers is a school reformer in the same sense, as City Journal’s Sol Stern put it, as Joe Stalin was an agricultural reformer.

An idea of what Ayers has in mind for America’s schools was provided in his own words not 40 years ago when Obama was eight years old, but less than two years ago in November 2006 at the World Education Forum in Caracas hosted by dictator Hugo Chavez.

With Chavez at his side, Ayers voiced his support for “the political educational reforms under way here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chavez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution. . . . I look forward to seeing how . . . all of you continue to overcome the failures of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane.”

Ayers told the great humanitarian Chavez: “Teaching invites transformations, it urges revolutions large and small. La educacion es revolucion.” It is that form of socialist revolution that Ayers, and Obama, have worked to bring to America.

Perhaps the AP will also grace us with an article on what Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh might have become if he had survived the mistakes of his youth.

Geeeez, they continue to call him a 'radical'!! Unbelievable.

In addition to being a radical,,,

He is a TERRORIST!!!

Many radicals are NOT TERRORISTS--another of the many nice efforts by the MSM to continue to 'sugar coat' a reference to an unrepentant TERRORIST!!

Ayers worked up a scheme to funnel $100+ million to leftist agitprop “educators” and got Obamessiah to be his point person as Chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

What a great plan, create countless radical “workshops” to propagandize teachers on politically correct b.s. and radical “hope-change” hate-America nonsense. Ayers has merely taken “The Revolution” into schools and colleges because he didn’t get too far with it “in the streets” — because he discovered many years ago that trying to overthrow the US govt. and the entire economic system is a bit harder than simply bombing, robbing, shooting, and propagandizing. It takes longer - you need agitprop organizations like ACORN working like termites over many years, and you need an empty suit propagandist like Obamessiah to weasel his way into power.

Ayers is the same anti-America scumbag he’s always been (”America makes me puke” and “I don’t regret setting bombs. I don’t feel we did enough.”).

He merely found a “gig” that does not involve current overt violence because he found that to be less than successful.

“He is just a superb individual.” Who would use a word like “superb” to describe anyone, ever? Oh...right.

Some half wit at the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) write a similiar editorial and he was a WSJ staffer. Murdoch bought WSJ/Dow Jones about 6 months ago. The paper has been going downhill. The editorial page was conservative but always pro-illegal. The writers of stories were okay usually conservative.

Now the writers of stories sound like AP writers - awful. The editorial board is also going downhill. Peggy noonan’s stupid editorial the other day bashing Palin was more evidence. I will be dumping WSJ for Investors Business Daily (IBD) very soon. I have subscribed to WSJ for at least 15 years. IBD is awesome.

Incredible. From terrorist to university professor. From setting bombs to shaping the minds of young people. From loathing the United States to launching the career of someone who could be the next President of the US.

And perhaps there is more. Much more. A big juicy story for the media to dig into. But they aren’t biting. How strange!

Questions need to be asked but apparently it’s up to us to ask them, not the media. Ah but wait, i forgot. If you dare to ask a question of The One you might become Public Enemy #1, at least to the Obama-adoring and yet no doubt totally objective press corps. Your life might well be destroyed. No, not because you asked a bad question but because Obama might slip and fall into the trap of giving a truthful answer. Can’t have that. And can’t blame Obama. Blame everyone but Obama. Destroy everyone but The One and his friends. It should be a new law. But really, there’s no need. It’s already being enforced.

Let’s look on the bright side though. This at least is the kind of America that makes Ayers proud, and this is the kind of mainstream media that i’m sure Ayers appreciates. Who knows, perhaps with the way things are going this will turn into a country that will always make Ayers proud. He certainly has been working awfully hard to do just that, hasn’t he? What a lucky break for us that he hasn’t been wasting away in jail all these years.

Still, though, i think i’ll go ahead and risk asking a few questions. But only here. We should be safe here, at least for a few more months. Not that i expect any answers to be forthcoming. Sen. Obama is only running for President, after all. It’s not like he’s trying to start a plumbing business or something. Therefore no need to know anything about his past, well other than what he wrote in his books of course.

So why don’t we start with those books. And out of respect for the media why don’t we ask questions in the style of a journalist berating...er...interviewing a republican. Let’s get started then.

Sen. Obama, it’s looking more and more certain that Ayers ghostwrote your books. Come on, admit it. He did, didn’t he? And how long before that did your relationship with this angry, unrepentant bomber start? Might he not have recognized your potential during your Columbia years, when he just happened to be taking courses at a school right next to yours? Did he start working on you way back then? Or did it only start when you
both—coincidentally enough, i’m sure—happened to be living in the same neighborhood in Chicago? Building your career, honing your image, making connections, writing your books, shaping you for surely wholesome All-American reasons......isn’t that right, Mr. Obama?

And then of course he even launched your first foray into politics right in his own house, didn’t he? How proud he must have been that day. How excited. How expectant!

So what makes you tick, Sen. Obama? Wasn’t it Ayers that set you to ticking a long time ago? Hoping you’d keep on ticking all the way to the White House? If all this is true, then it will have turned out to be quite a worthwhile coup...er...project for the still unrepentant Ayers. Wouldn’t it? He must be swelling with pride all the time now. Mustn’t he? Perhaps feeling somewhat akin to a proud papa. Is he a papa figure to you, Mr. Obama?


And in a few more weeks his Chosen One, his Trojan One, could be all set to be loaded into the White House. A gift from Ayers to America. We should be grateful, i’m sure. And we shouldn’t question it. No, we mustn’t do that. Ignore the ticking sound, folks. It’s nothing. Move along. Don’t look inside the package. Don’t question The One. Just go back to sleep.

Ayers Known As Scholar, Not Radical...yeah, and like most scholars he's totally ineffective in the real world - he spent $50 million of Annenberg's money on his experimental educational system which chose teaching political philosophy over useful subjects like math and science, and the evaluation of the project showed that the schools hadn't improved one bit - only a scholar could turn a failure like that into a high prestige position like professor..........

Ah, yes, invoke the magic word scholar and immediately turn a pile of dung into a gold brick. The alchemist's dream has come true at last.
