Who is William Ayers?
Various | 04/17/2008

Posted on 04/17/2008 10:11:27 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

Hillary really ripped into Obama last night. And she really put him on the defensive regarding his association with William Ayers.

But who is William Ayers?

Just a few links worth looking at:

Obama Stands by Bill Ayers: Would he associate with an unrepentent Klansman who lynched Blacks?

He is the guy that Klintons would have pardoned had he been convicted.

Ayers is a American-hating marxist who declared war on the US in the 1960s and committed acts of violent agression (bombing numerous buildings) against the United States. He was on the FBI's most wanted list and on the run for ten years...then later turned himself in and got off on a technicality.

He has now been rewarded by his Marxist sympathisers and lives in relative luxury as a professor doctorate in the land that he and they hate and continues to preach his anti-American dogma.

He is unrepentant and has supported Obama with monies, campaign meetings, and ideologically.

These are the likes of people Obama is associated with and surrounds himself with and he cannot scape it.

I guess he’s not a PUERTO RICAN terrorist?
Otherwise Bill would have pardoned him.

The ratmedia is doing overtime trying to portray the relationship betwen Obama and Ayres as "scant." BS. The best source by far is the recent article by Andrew McCarthy over at NRO. Here's a taste:

----------------------------------------------------------
The Company He Keeps

It was at the Chicago home of Ayers and Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming “community organizer,” had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working “only to educate” — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers.

Barack Obama made a joint appearance with Bill Ayers in 1997 at a University of Chicago panel on the outrage of treating juvenile criminals as if they were, well, criminals. Obama apologists say, “So what? People appear with other people all the time.” Nice try. This panel was orchestrated by none other than Michelle Obama, then an Associate Dean of Student Services. Ayers didn’t happen to be there — he was invited by the Obamas to educate students on the question before the house: “Should a Child Ever Be Called a ‘Super Predator?’”

“Who is William Ayers? “

A Tim McVeigh wannabe and a friend of Obama’s.

It was cheesy and the touchy feely crap made me want to puke.

These people are running for Presidency. They are asking to be the most powerful person alive on this planet and they want us to vote for them. The entire “process” is intended to be a battle; where people present their course of action and battle it out. It’s supposed to be a vetting process where the people learn about this candidate who’s asking for our vote. It’s supposed to test these peoples character and challenge them, because the office of Presidency is not for the faint of heart, morally bent, or mentally weak.

When the media sugar coats things, suppresses information, or when either candidate isn’t fighting, it’s like going to a boxing game where no boxer wants to strike the other. It kind of defeats the purpose. This isn’t about being nice to the other guy, it’s about the fight itself.

The problem with Democrats is that since they are leftists, they generally think a political race should be a harmonious get together where you sing Kumbaya, avoid any difficult questions, and pat each other on the back. These type of people like group think, they see conflict as bad, and they generally like little dissent. They like that sort of stuff, since they’re largely queer. The idea of a civil and friendly get together where ideas are shared in a mutual intellectual forum of open minded people trying to expand their paradigm is evident when you have such a gay get together as a Democratic debate such as last night.

This is supposed to be bloody, ugly, and messy, and while the rest of the world looks at us and just can’t understand why it’s that way, we should understand that the process itself has a “purpose.” It’s a battle between people and their ideas, where people learn about these candidates, where they are stressed and have to think on their feet, where you dig into their past and bring things up they would rather not remember. That’s the friggin point! A snowball fight like last night is a waste of time. It’s a waste of time for the voter, except if all he’s looking for is scripted sound bytes and who looked better, and that pretty much describes 75% of the Democrat voters.

So, according to Obama, we are to believe that his minister, his political fixer, his radical pal who “introduced” him to the local political community, his complaining wife and his “racist” grandmother are simply “distractions” and have nothing to do with the “real” Obama?

Who or what does then?

Didn’t Obama say he teaches English at a college?
A convicted felon now a teacher? How can this be?
God help America!

Finally, the Media 'Discovers' Obama-Ayers Relationship

Rick Moran
It is a major story in the New York Times, Politico, the New York Post, and the left wing Guardian in Great Britain. It is the most curious of all Barack Obama's problematic relationships and calls into question not only his judgement but the core of his politics.

The story is about William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn - two members of the radical 1960's terrorist group the Weather Underground - and the fact that the possible next president of the United States is on a first name basis with a self-confessed bomber of the Pentagon who not only has no regrets for his terrorist action but wishes he could do it all over again.

More....

Why is this guy, his wife and other terrorist, America hating, treasonous, perfidious partners in crime either not taking dirt naps or at least in prison for life?

Many great threads on William Ayers has been posted by Eye on the Left. Thanks Eye!

Thank YOU! It's great to know my material is appreciated, because everyone (Hannity, O'Reilly, even Limbaugh) is totally leaving out the communist angle, referring to the Weather Underground as simply 'domestic terrorists'. They're all still scared to death to use the 'C' word, even though the bastards themselves are completely open about it and want a debate!

Re: Obama friend and associate, William/Bill Ayers, from his own red-communist-star-headed website, calls out Hannity and 'others' to debate communism vs capitalism!

Bill Ayers, April 6, 2008:
Imperialism. I’m against it, and if Sean Hannity and others were honest, this is the ground they would fight me on. Capitalism played its role historically and is exhausted as a force for progress: built on exploitation, theft, conquest, war, and racism, capitalism and imperialism must be defeated and a world revolution—a revolution against war and racism and materialism, a revolution based on human solidarity and love, cooperation and the common good —must win.

We begin by releasing our most hopeful dreams and our most radical imaginations: a better world is both possible and necessary.

Source: http://billayers.wordpress.com/2008/04/

Note: Ayers is quite possibly quoting Bob Avakian, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, with the phrase 'both possible and necessary' in regards to a communist overthrow of the US government. See these Yahoo search results for "bob avakian" + "possible and necessary"
