Then, unprompted he said--I wrote Dreams From My Father. I said, oh, so you admit it. He said--Michelle asked me to. I looked at him. He seemed eager. He's about my height, short. He went on to say--and if you can prove it, we can split the royalties. So I said, stop pulling my leg. Horrible thought. But he came again--I really wrote it, the wording was similar. I said I believe you probably heavily edited it. He said--I wrote it. I said--why would I believe you, you're a liar. He had no answer to that. Just looked at me....

Just found out that everyone’s favorite domestic terrorist is going to appear live on C-SPAN 2 this Sunday noon till 3:00. He will be answering questions from his fellow comrades and obfuscating all the rest. This is a perfect opportunity to pelt this nut job with some serious hardball questions and verbally harass him in the process. We need to do everything in our power to beat this a-hole up on live television and stir the proverbial pot a little. Lets see just what this guy can take before he looses his cool and reveals exactly who and what he...

Why people should really worry about Obama and Ayres   DUFF HALE January 29th, 2009 Talk show host Sean Hannity continues to refer to William Ayres as "an unrepentant terrorist," which he most assuredly is. That, of course, allows Barack Obama to dismiss out-of-hand what Ayres did "when I was only eight years old." He can dismiss it as "gotcha politics." While what Ayres did should not be dismissed or ignored, the fact is Senator Obama has rightly deplored his "despicable acts." End of story. Right?Not so fast. The implication of this relationship goes much deeper and much farther....

NEW YORK —  An education expert is warning that some American textbooks present a biased view of Islam and offer a sugarcoated picture of Islamic extremism, a trend that has parents worried about what's being taught in public schools.In numerous history textbooks, "key subjects like jihad, Islamic law, the status of women are whitewashed," said Gilbert T. Sewall, director of the American Textbook Council, an independent group that reviews history books and other education materials.Cindy Ross, the mother of a junior high school student in Marin County, Calif., said she couldn't believe her eyes when she read her son's textbook...

Jan. 28, 7:30 p.m.: Bill Ayers: “Trudging Toward Freedom” (public lecture) Bill Ayers is a Professor of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago and has just released the Handbook of Social Justice in Education. He is noted for his work in education reform and also for his controversial history as a founder of the Weather Underground. He will discuss his life and work and their inevitable intersection in the pursuit of social justice.

I predicted it days after it happened: That the beloved and woefully incompetent terrorist Bill Ayers would join his fellow travelers at the Huffington Post blog. And so, this week, he's written some hilarious nonsense about education, using a kind of mental terrorism meant to blow your mind, but instead only blows. But what a great idea for the frustrated bomber inside all of us! I mean, let's say you're in a hurry and you need some nutty Marxist rhetoric to impress a co-ed from Brown, as well as advice on how to make a bomb! Wouldn't it be great...

Rahm the Enforcer 12/28/08 In Washington, where big personalities create even bigger legends, Democrat Rahm Emanuel has achieved mythic status. He throws cells phones. He once sent a dead fish to a pollster who displeased him. At a dinner to celebrate Bill Clinton’s 1992 election, Emanuel repeatedly stabbed the table with a steak knife, shouting the names of his political enemies. Journalists have trouble quoting him, because his routine utterances are replete with profanity.“Rahm is a little intense,” Barack Obama once said.As even Emanuel concedes, “I wake up some mornings hating me, too.”Emanuel’s political intensity has a darker side. His...

OBAMA: A SMILING PILE OF GUILE © COMING OF AGE IN THE WHITE HOUSE? by Norman Liebmann It is apparent that the job of being President isn’t attracting the caliber of people it used to. Having Obama and Biden in the White House will be like waking up on Christmas Morning and finding a couple of hemorrhoids dangling on your Christmas tree. More and more Barack Obama looks like a pallbearer who can’t wipe that smile off his face. If he becomes President, the first thing he will do is rewrite J. Edgar Hoover’s file on Martin Luther King in...

I continue to be quite perplexed by a few things that are surely related: Where is Bill Ayers? Where is the Reverend Jeremiah Wright? They seem to have fallen off the face of the Earth. Why? How? No two figures relating to Barack Obama have been talked about as much as Ayers and Wright. That being the case, why aren’t these two figures talking? Why is no one talking to them, or demanding to talk to them? Have Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright been silenced? If so, who has silenced them, and how?

I was watching Bill O'Reilly's "ambush" of the Ayers this morning. I gather the woman walking in front of him into their Chicago home is Bernadine Dohrn, a Weather Underground member and fugitive from justice. She worked with Michelle Obama at a law office. Why isn't anyone asking about this terrorist couple? Why is it just the guy terrorist? Why is this just ignored?

Now that It's becoming obvious based on Obama's own words that the guy is a communist, there's this talking point/narrative emerging out there that the reagans and annenberg were communists. You should know a few things about the annenberg challenge, if you don't already know. It was not Ayres by himself, his lonesome. He was not just a single terrorist who decided to ask for money. Ayres had help from two other people. Anne Hallet and Warren Chapman co authored the proposal. And Ayres had the backing of 70+ other groups and professors. Add in that Ayres had the backing...

It is true that most voters vote their pocketbooks. But that doesn’t mean they would elect Mao Zedong president — even if they believed he could guarantee robust job growth, low inflation, and a roaring stock market. Therefore, another truth is that voters want to know (and are “entitled to know,” as pollster Frank Luntz put it so well and John McCain didn’t) facts that help them draw conclusions about a candidate’s politics and character. Why is it, then, that Democratic politicians and their liberal allies pooh-pooh the Bill Ayres issue as a “distraction”? Why is they mock demands for...

You won’t believe the title of Bill Ayers’ keynote lecture, scheduled next month, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln: “We are each other’s keepers.” UNL prof Gerard Harbison is disgusted:

The contrast between, on the one hand, the huge amount of material about Obama’s radical associations that has been published in on-line journals and in a few brave newspapers, and on the other the refusal by big media to address it and to vilify those who do, becomes more astounding by the day. The Obamaniacs are spinning the relationship between Obama and William Ayers, former of Weather Undergound Terrorism Inc, as of no consequence because this was supposedly a chance acquaintance and because the educational project they worked on, the Annenberg Challenge, was a worthy one. Stanley Kurtz now nails...

TOLEDO, Ohio, (AFP) – Republican John McCain has a third and final chance to debate his way back into contention when he faces his hard-charging White House rival Barack Obama in New York on Wednesday. McCain, who is falling behind in the opinion polls as the United States weathers its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, is talking tough heading into the final presidential debate before the November 4 vote. At the weekend, McCain promised to Virginia supporters he would "whip" his Democratic opponent's "you know what" at the evening debate at Hofstra University on Long Island. On Tuesday,...

The Obama defenders are complaining that William Ayers’ radical bombings in the late 1960s and early 1970s are dismissible as "old news." They declare Obama's associations to be "irrelevant." (Somehow I'm prompted to wonder what they'd say if McCain were a friend of a 1940s Nazi prison camp guard.) Yet Obama's associations are relevant, as they are in fact current news, and they speak to his judgment, character and to his political proclivities and inclinations. And we can never forget that a man is known by the company he keeps. Here is a brief accounting of over a dozen of...

THE seemingly inevitable ascent of Barack Obama to become US president has hit a hurdle, as he is forced to confront accusations, supported by a hard-hitting television ad campaign, that he had a long-time association with two of America's leading terrorists from the 1960s, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, one-time leaders of the Weathermen (also known as the Weather Underground).

Local News | Memories of Obama's mother | Seattle Times Newspaper Memories of Obama's Mother   Nicole Brodeur  Tuesday, February 5, 2008 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Box called her friend "Stannie," a nickname for Stanley. She was named for her father, who wanted a boy — and the girl knew it. As a result, their relationship was strained. "He was hard on her, in that he picked on her," Box said of Stanley Dunham, a furniture salesman in downtown Seattle. "He had a sarcastic humor," Box said, "and she could give it back." Dunham's mother, Madelyn, a bank employee,...
