Wednesday morning, August 27, between 11 am and 1:30 pm EST or 9 am and 11:30 am mountain time, I'll be chairing a New America Foundation/Middle East Task Force event in Denver at the Colorado History Museum.
The keynotes are Senator JOHN KERRY (D-MA), Obama National Security Adviser GREG CRAIG, Princeton University Woodrow Wilson School Dean ANNE-MARIE SLAUGHTER, former Congressman and Obama Adviser MEL LEVINE, former German Foreign Minister JOSCHKA FISCHER, and Aspen Institute President (and former CNN Chairman and CEO and TIME Managing Editor) Walter Isaacson.
Our panel will be former Israeli negotiator and New America Foundation Senior Fellow DANIEL LEVY, former Senate Foreign Relations Committee senior staff member and Stonebridge International Senior Adviser JANICE O'CONNOLL, International Crisis Group Middle East and North Africa Program Director and former Senior Adviser for the Middle East to President Clinton ROBERT MALLEY, Arab American Institute President JAMES ZOGBY, and New Yorker Washington correspondent and New America Foundation President STEVE COLL.
In 1967 he became active in the German student movement and left-wing movement (post-)1968 (the so-called Spontis), first in Stuttgart and after 1968 in Frankfurt am Main. ... Fischer was a leader in several street battles fought by the anarchist Putzgruppe (literally "cleaning squad", with the first syllable being interpreted as an acronym for Proletarische Union für Terror und Zerstörung, "Proletarian Union for Terror and Destruction") which physically attacked a number of police officers. Photos of one such battle in March 1973, which were later to haunt him, show him clubbing policeman Rainer Marx, to whom he later publicly apologized.
His close friendship with Daniel Cohn-Bendit dates from this time. In 1971 he began working for the car manufacturer Opel and tried to organise his fellow workers for a coming communist revolution. (This was not organising on behalf of an ordinary labour union: the vast majority of Opel's workers had already been organised by IG Metall, the German metalworkers' union, decades earlier.) ...
In the Deutscher Herbst (German Autumn) of 1977, Germany was confronted with a series of left-wing terrorist attacks by the Red Army Faction (RAF). ... In May 1981 the Hessian Secretary of Commerce Heinz-Herbert Karry was murdered with a firearm that in 1973 had been transported, among other weapons stolen from an American army base, in Fischer's car. ... Fischer has also been criticised for attending a 1969 conference of the Palestine Liberation Organization, where Yasser Arafat called for an all-out war on Israel "until the end".
birds of a feather flock together.
...International Crisis Group...
Speaking of the ICG, and with a bit more on the group...
Obama’s National Security Adviser GREG CRAIG and Senator Kerry met with German Red Army Faction terrorist Fischer **yesterday**.
But I saw Austan Goolsbee on FNC this morning shilling for Barry.
Guess it depends on the definition of fired...
I like Wikipedia too for a reference point. But there are snobs who look down their noses at it. So, here’s confirmation:
“The German foreign minister remains the country’s most popular politician, even as his past as a left-wing militant comes back to haunt him”

Putzgruppe?
To put it mildly, WTH???
Another one falls in our lap.
Germany: Praising Obama, Joschka Fischer calls for increased militarism
thanks for posting...
Who will be the next terrorist with ties to Obama and the Democrats?..... Osama Bin Laden?
I swear..at this point...I would not be surprised.
(eye roll)
PUTZ?
“In May 1981 the Hessian Secretary of Commerce Heinz-Herbert Karry was murdered with a firearm that in 1973 had been transported, among other weapons stolen from an American army base, in Fischer’s car. ...”
WOW!

Here’s a little gem- slightly off topic but worthwhile:

"... former Congressman and Obama Adviser MEL LEVINE"
I remember this clown. He was tossed out of office in the big Republican congressional win of '94 even though he was sitting in a presumably safe liberal seat in San Fernando and Burbank.
You want to know why? HE NEVER SHOWED UP FOR WORK. If I recall correctly, he was the Congressman who had the most absences of anyone in the US House of Representatives.
Yeah, well the DUmmies can point their fingers too. Oh yeah. Remember that toe tapper in the mens’ room? Boy they nailed the RNC, right? And they turn a blind eye to Ayers, pardoning FALN bomb terrorists [thinking back to the Clintons with that one], and more stuff than we can count.
It’s not so much a matter of snobbery as it is plain old unreliability. The leftists have free reign over Wiki.
Keep an eye on Fischer’s Wiki entry over the coming days. Now that he’s being tied to the democrats, the whitewashing is only a matter of time.
At this point I am so sick at heart, it feels worse than when Ross Perot was running interference for slick willie.
Have faith...America is waking up.
The MSM can not stop the bombshells that are about to go off concerning Obama.
If what many of us suspect is coming down...it will not only shock this country...it will shock the world.
Why do you think the Obama brownshirts are freaking out??!!
There is no surprise here so lets move on.
If we had an Administration with some stainless, forged steel ballz, they would have just stormed the damn place with FBI agents, arrested the lot of them, and shipped them all off to Gitmo for interrogation: it is damn suspicious to have that many subversive characters meeting in one place, they’re obviously up to no good.
BUT, as it is, and in the spirit of ‘changing the tone’ in Washington, nobody will say a damn thing about this at the White House, in fact they’ll all probably get an invite to a friendly Crawford Texas ‘Let Us Peer Into Your Soul Y’all’ party, so everybody can feel good about ‘em.
Thank heaven for Hannity’s relentless efforts to get out the truth about Obama.
Hannity and many, many others!
Thank you for posting that link. That is right-down alarming. While the writer is a socialist and I do not share his distaste for the US, he makes some excellent points. So the Obama trip to Germany and his relationship with Fischer is not all coincidental? Hmm. Obama is potentially even more dangerous than I thought.
Does he have any friends who ever bombed the Pentagon? Obama and Bin Laden do!
Live in an area with little radio reception. I get the station that plays Rush, Sean and (sigh) IMUS in the morning.
I read on line that there are other talk show hosts who are revealing the truth about Obama.
The internet helps a lot.
I am more apt to call them Socialists. Communism in theory strives for a “classless” society. It’s pretty clear that they still wish to maintain “classes” and pit them against each other to serve their own ends.
Makes sense what with Paris Hilton doing video ads for him, and having a Britney Spears set.
Fischer welcomes Obama’s call to “act and negotiate together” in the case of international crises.” If these diplomatic efforts fail, however, Obama will not hesitate “to pledge his allies to carry out tough alternatives,” Fischer stresses, and concludes: “Iran could become the first such example.”When Dems are in power, it's ok to get into wars.
Small ones are best though, they they can back out abruptly and not give the troops left on the ground any support. (saves money, costs only lives of despised military personnel)
What's a few American troops killed and dragged through the streets to liberals?
Joschka Fischer to Teach at Princeton
Der Spiegel ^ | June 17, 2006 | dsl/spiegel
Former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer has accepted a teaching gig at Princeton. Starting this fall, he will teach international crisis diplomacy to the next generation of American elites.
The Bush administration didn’t much like what Joschka Fischer had to say during the Iraq war.
So what will Washington say now that the former German foreign minister is trading his parliament seat for a professor’s cap at Princeton? This fall, Fischer will teach the next generation of American elites about international crisis diplomacy at the university.....

And Ayers teaches in Chicago. Hmmm...
Despite some similarities, German /= Yiddish.

IMHO, there is no mere coincidence between Ayers' anti-American activism and who Barack and Michelle are at their core. The couple's fear is that voter recognition of the Ayers connection would rightly doom their by-acclamation elevation to Lord- and ladyship.
That Barry's inexperienced and Leftist handling of the Annenberg activities was a huge boondoggle, wasting tens of millions of charitable dollars without getting any significant results, should disqualify him for being anybody's Senator, US or State, let alone a major party's candidate for POTUS.
HF
He sure likes terrorists and socialists. Some president he would make...arghhhhhhh.
Yet another terrorist in Barry’s World. Imagine that! ...
