Bill Ayers Speaks…Plans on Attending Grant Park Obama Party
The Washington Compost ^ | 11-04-08 | Peter Slevin

CHICAGO -- In his first interview since he became an issue in the 2008 presidential campaign, Bill Ayers, the former Weather Underground leader, said today that he had a distant relationship with Barack Obama and that Obama's opponents had turned him into "a cartoon character."

Ayers, now an education professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago, said he thought the accusation by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin that Obama had been "palling around with terrorists" was absurd.

"Pal around together? What does that mean? Share a milkshake with two straws?"Ayers said. "I think my relationship with Obama was probably like thousands of others in Chicago. And, like millions and millions of others, I wish I knew him better."

Ayers said he blames what he called liberal media outlets for failing to dismiss Obama's acquaintance with him as a case of guilt by association, likening it to the way the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth created a narrative that helped doom Sen. John F. Kerry four years ago.

Can you believe this?

President Elect Bill Ayers (Barack is only his carefully-coached spokesperson) is, of course, a VICTIM!

And, as a true Stalinist, he is full of BLAMES.

Welcome, my FRiends, to the next four years...

Ugh.

Black nationalism is the part of the Obama equation that scares me most.

Good God....that's small potatoes.It's the fact that when you read various things that Hussein has said about the US and compare them to things that Iran,North Korea,Venezuela and Sweden say about us you ***cannot*** tell the difference.

I think "paling around together" would include Ayers giving Obama $50 million to distribute to so-called community organizations.

Hey Bill, where've you been? Keep talking, and helping to lay the groundwork for Obama's defeat in 2012.

After Carter came Reagan.

If a President Obama thinks he can appoint either Ayers or Klonsky (Maoist and former SDS member) to Secretary of Education status, he has made a grave error in judgement.

It's actually impossible for schools to get any worse. Sure, they could kill every kid who walks through the door, but schools kill souls every day, which is far, far worse.

I also believe that alot of white Americans have chosen a free hand out, over Jesus Christ and their country.

I don't know where you are but in *my* neck of the woods white folks gave up the idea of God long ago and only have their unending guilt about the trust fund that mommy and daddy set up for them to fall back on.That's why some of the richest suburbs in the country (which are located near where I am) vote 70% to 30% for Osama Hussein and 75% for Baaaaaarney Frank.

Yeah, I would definitely name someone that I didn’t know well to be the co-chairman of the board of a foundation I established and ask them to allocate $50-100 million for my pet projects. I would just find some young, inexperienced guy in the neighborhood who didn’t share my ideology to do this. Geez, the American people are really stupid!! I blame the media most of all for allowing this disgrace to take place. They are all worthless pukes!

And who in God's name is gonna stop him?? The Anything-But-Honorable Lady from (San Francisco) California? Harry Reid? John F'ing Kerry? (Up)Chuck Schummer?I hate to say this but you're living in a dream world if you think he can't do it.

You are right! These last few days he has be hinting what he has in store for the country. A Civilian National Force! Combine that direction with the likes of some of his associations such as Saudi Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal, Hatem El-Hady,Islamist fundraiser for Terrorist, Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour, a wicked wicked man and adivisor to the Prince, Rashid Khalidi- Columbia Prof. and the list just goes on and on and not a soul in the mainstream media want to do any of the reporting. This country is in deep, deep crap now!

No Surprise as Obama has not been honest as to the relationships and friendship that he has.... Over time we will see the truth and that so many Americans have been fooled....

I am thinking about the families of the people who were killed by Bernadene and Bill.

What must they be feeling right now?
