The Hillary Clinton campaign pushed to reporters today stories about Barack Obama and his ties to former members of a radical domestic terrorist group -- but did not note that as president, Clinton's husband pardoned more than a dozen convicted violent radicals, including a member of the same group mentioned in the Obama stories.
"Wonder what the Republicans will do with this issue," mused Clinton spokesman Phil Singer in one e-mail to the media, containing a New York Sun article reporting a $200 contribution from William Ayers, a founding member of the 1970s group Weather Underground, to Obama in 2001.
In a separate e-mail, Singer forwarded an article from the Politico newspaper reporting on a 1995 event at a private home that brought Obama together with Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, another member of the radical group.
Opting to leave any attacks on the issue to the GOP may be wise, as attacks from Clinton could backfire. In his final day in office, President Clinton pardoned another one-time member of the Weather Underground, Susan L. Rosenberg, after she had served 16 years in prison on federal charges.
Rosenberg had been arrested in 1984 while unloading 740 pounds of dynamite, a submachine gun and other weapons from the back of a car.

President Clinton pardoned terrorist Susan Rosenberg who participated in a Brink's robbery that left a guard and two police officers dead.
This is clear evidence that the Clintons have to be IMPEACHED AND REMOVED OR PREVENTED from any office by the voters of Texas and Ohio.
The Clinton’s can’t touch Obama. Any horrible story from the past, even if true will have no impact.
She is toast.
Re: Rosenberg had been arrested in 1984 while unloading 740 pounds of dynamite, a submachine gun and other weapons from the back of a car.
.....and now she works for the Clinton campaigns “Contingency” group.
Those skeleton bones are a rattling for the Hildabeast.
How can she be expected to play her usual trash opponents games if people actual have memories and display them regarding her real “exeperience”.
That pic is of Dohrn,not Rosenberg.
I saw Bernardine speak one time.May,1969.She was wearing a purple mini skirt and thin yellow top.The boys in the crowd loved Bernardine.
The hottie of The Revolution.
DemocRAT base voters don't care, but I don't mind the 'RATS giving us ammunition for November.
Kudos to ABC for a balanced story. They may succeed where the other dunderheads in the MSM are blind.
I’m waiting for the clintoons to drop the Obama is a muslim bomb again. (No pun intended)
So they’re both tied to the Weather Underground.
Is it any wonder Michelle Obama isn’t proud of America?
We already knew the Klintoons weren’t.

At Hamilton College—an elite liberal arts institution in Clinton, N.Y.—you can take courses in Roman civilization, Shakespeare and the “Emergence of Modern Western Europe, 1500-1815.” All well and good. You can also take something called “Resistance Memoirs: Writing, Identity and Change.” That last course—a month-long, half-credit seminar—is scheduled to begin next month. Its teacher is Susan Rosenberg, formerly of the Weather Underground...
Good point.
