Why were Ayers and his wife and others not punished for their crimes.

I think the prosecutor screwed up and the case was thrown out. Saved by the evil justice system of the country he hates. How ironic.

This guy is very legit. I just wonder when every single conservative news source will start hammering Obama? Could it be they won’t want to hit him too early?

I happen to have enough faith that there are elements of our national government that will never allow Obama to implement his radical plans.

I would keep praying if I were you. IMO, it’s going to be Conservatives facing off against Liberals who want to destroy our country, our future, and our freedom.

I just sent that thread to about forty people and asked them to send it to their address books. If it keeps going, I will have at least done my small part.

Bill father Tom Ayers CEO or Chairman of Con Edison was a big wheel in Chicago business and Daly machine. Lots of money and lots of political influence. Does that help?

There is some interesting material in this, but it needs a real solid editing job to make it credible. It has the air of one of those leftist college pamphlets claiming that the President employs dead Nazis concentration camp commandants.

It needs to concentrate on key facts and eliminate the breathless conspiratorial air that makes it impossible to get to the essential points.

The caption states in part, “ Bill Ayers recollected his adventurous violence with practiced jokes. “Guilty as hell, free as a bird. It’s a great country.”

The military guys out there keep sending this around so there must be something to it.

One sunny day in 2009, an old man approached the White House from across

Pennsylvania Avenue , where he’d been sitting on a park bench.

He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, ‘I would like to go in and
meet with President Obama.’

The Marine replied, ‘Sir, Mr. Obama is not President and doesn’t reside
here.’

The old man said, ‘Okay,’ and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same
Marine, ‘I would like to go in and meet with President Obama’.

The Marine again told the man, ‘Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is not
President and doesn’t reside here.’

The man thanked him and again walked away . .

The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very
same Marine, saying ‘I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.’

The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said,
‘Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to
Mr. Obama. I’ve told you already several times that Mr. Obama is not the
President and doesn’t reside here. Don’t you understand?’

The old man answered, ‘Oh, I understand you fine, I just love hearing your
answer!’

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, ‘See you tomorrow Sir.’

Listen to the crickets as the MSM pushes this radical communist (am I repeating myself?) onto this country while patriotic citizens in Iowa care only about their ethanol subsidies!

Because Bill Ayers’ father was Tom Ayers, the builder of Chicago politics. It is likely that Tom Ayers’ connections were instrumental in preventing his dangerous terrorist son from further prosecution once a single case was dismissed due to improper wiretapping. To put this in perspective, Tom Ayers is likely the man who created Mayor Daly.

Barack Obama has a new entanglement with unrepentant Weatherman Bill
Ayers which I detail below. The gist is this - back in the mid-90’s
Bill Ayers was instrumental in the creation and early operation of the
Chicago Annenberg Challenge, an effort committed to the reform of
Chicago’s public schools. Barack Obama was Chairman of the Board of
the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which suggests he worked closely with
Ayers for several years.

Yet in his recent nationally televised appearances and at his website,
Obama fails to mention this Ayers entanglement. Why so coy? It’s
hard to believe he actually forgot his executive role in this
important foray into public policy; that said, the Chicago Challenge
foundered on the hard rocks of Chicago politics and was widely viewed
as ineffective, so perhaps he would prefer not to highlight his
failure to bring people together and produce real change.

Or maybe Obama was a do-nothing figurehead who honestly forgot that
Bill Ayers was running the show. Awkward spin, that. In any case,
there is also a question of shared values. Ayers brings a highly
progressive approach to education - dare we ask whether Obama shares
his values?

Details and plenty of background links after the break.

With Ayers, two themes are emerging:

(1) It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up - why can’t Obama manage to
deliver a clear answer about his relationship with Ayers? It has
long been reported that they both sat on the board of the Woods Fund
of Chicago.
http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/nonprofit/2008/04/the-woods-fund.html

We now also know that Ayers helped found the Chicago Annenberg
Challenge Fund, with Obama as the first Chairman of the Board.
http://ccsr.uchicago.edu/publications/p0b06.pdf

We also know that Obama, Thomas Ayers (Bill Ayers father) and John
Ayers (Bill’s brother)
http://www.interversity.org/lists/arn-l/archives/Dec2000/msg00035.html

all served on the Leadership Council of the Chicago Public Schools
Education Fund (described here as “the successor” to the Chicago
Annenberg Challenge project).
http://www.cpef.org/pdf/annual_report01.pdf

That is a lot more of a connection than Obama has admitted in two
recent appearances on national television or at his websites “Fact
Check”. At the Philadelphia debate, Ayers was described as

... a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English
in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official
endorsement from. He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a
regular basis.

In Philadelphia, it was left to Hillary to mention the Woods Fund
board overlap.

And on Fox News, Obama seemed utterly hazy as to what board he was on
with Ayers, offering this:

Now, Mr. Ayres [Ayers] is a 60 plus year old individual who lives in
my neighborhood, who did something that I deplore 40 years ago when I
was six or seven years old. By the time I met him, he was a professor
of education at the University of Illinois.

We served on a board together that had Republicans, bankers, lawyers,
focused on education, who worked for Mayor Daley. Mayor Daley, the
same Mayor Daley probably who when he was a state attorney prosecuted
Mr. Ayres’s wife for those activities, I (INAUDIBLE) the point is that
to somehow suggest that in any way I endorse his deplorable acts 40
years ago, because I serve on a board with him.

Baffling - neither the Woods Fund of Chicago nor the Chicago Annenberg
Challenge Fund could reasonably be described as working for Mayor
Daley; the Leadership Council of the Chicago Public Schools Education
Fund fits that description, but it was the elder Ayers and the other
Ayers who served with Obama on that board. There is a theory that
Obama is pretty tight with the Ayers family, so maybe that caused his
confusion.

Finally, the Obama website presents a “Fact Check on Clinton Attacks
on Obama and Ayers”
http://factcheck.barackobama.com/factcheck/2008/04/17/fact_check_on_c...

which makes no mention of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Fund. OK,
given the fame of Annenberg’s FactCheck organization, maybe this was a
subconscious cry for recognition. But where is the transparency?

(2) The second emerging theme in this Ayers drama is, what about
shared values? OK, so Barack was eight years old when Ayers was
blowing things up. But Ayers brings a very, hmm, progressive mindset
to his educational agenda, or so I glean from the Ayers website (or
this panel presentation). So, does Barack share these views? Seems
like a fair question, since Ayers helped found a group Barack promptly
chaired.

We have moved a long way past the notion that Ayers was just some guy
from Barack’s neighborhood who happened to host a fundraiser for him
in 1995 and later overlapped with him on a charity board. How much
farther this story will move, and how much assistance Barack will
provide in moving it, remains to be seen.

C’MON - I enjoy this drollery from the hardworking and surely
underpaid chaps at Hot Air:

The obvious exit question: How closely did Obama and Ayers work
together at the Challenge? It may be that they had little contact,
that Ayers’s role ended in setting the thing up and he was
sufficiently uninvolved in day to day operations that Obama sincerely
forgot he was associated with the program.

Obama is a bit young to be having memory problems; surely he
anticipated an Ayers question and gave the topic some thought. And in
fact, he did describe an education-related board, not the Woods Fund
board.

DIG IN: Background on the Annenberg Challenge; a final report on the
Chicago Annenberg Challenge experience (271 page .pdf).

THIS WILL BECOME IMPORTANT: Some history of the Chicago Annenberg
Challenge:

Having secured Annenberg funding for Chicago, the working group would
soon evolve into a more formal organization, albeit with strong ties
to the groups that wrote the grant proposal. Initially run out of
shared space in the offices of the Cross-City Campaign and
administered through an existing philanthropic organization called the
Donors Forum, the Chicago Challenge soon became its own new foundation
with status as an independent fiscal agent. By late 1995, Ken Rolling
had been named executive director, a board of directors had been
established, and the first round of grants had been awarded. Rolling
lacked experience in education but came from the foundation world and
was well-versed in community organizing.

The board, which was intended to set policy, raise matching funds, and
hire an executive director, included prominent educators and business
leaders. A second entity, the newly-created Chicago School Reform
Collaborative, was also established. Its twenty-plus members were
elected from the group of educators and advocates who had helped shape
the grant proposal. Initially, at least, this offshoot of the working
group functioned as the operations arm of the Chicago Challenge.
However, this situation created procedural and ethical concerns and in
time the Collaborative was transformed into an advisory body.

Ayers was one of the three original leaders of the working group and
eventually co-chaired the Chicago School Reform Collaborative (see his
resume). His early involvement:

When three of Chicago’s most prominent education reform leaders met
for lunch at a Thai restaurant six years ago to discuss the just-
announced $500 million Annenberg Challenge, their main goal was to
figure out how to ensure that any Annenberg money awarded to Chicago
“didn’t go down the drain,” said William Ayers, a professor of
education at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Ayers, who was at
that lunch table in late 1993, helped write the successful Chicago
grant application.

The point is that Ayers led the way in securing the Annenberg grant,
then co-chaired the Collaborative, which was instrumental in the
operation of the Chicago Challenge. It is not likely Barack Obama, as
chair of the Board of Directors of the Challenge, was not working
closely with the co-chair of the collaborative. At any rate, it is
not at all plausible that he could have been unaware of Ayers’ role
and later forgotten it.

I see trouble in paradise as “Hope and change” morphs to “Hope we can
change the subject.”
