Four Weathermen terrorists declare support for Obama,

... calling for "grassroots effort" to help boost campaign.

The names of four former top leaders of the Weathermen terrorist organization are listed as signatories on an online petition calling for an "independent grassroots effort" to help strengthen Obama's campaign.

The petition was initiated by Progressives for Obama, an independent organization acting to ensure the Illinois senator's election.

Among the names signed onto the petition are former Weathermen leaders Howard Machtinger, Jeff Jones, Steve Tappis and Mark Rudd.

Machtinger was a Weathermen founder and was co-author of the terror group's original mission statement, which called for "revolutionaries within the United States to wage a 'people's war' and attack from within. The government would fall and 'world communism' eventually would be instituted."

Jones, according to his own website, was "elected, along with (Weathermen terrorist) Bill Ayers and Mark Rudd, to the SDS national office. Then, in the spring of 1970, he disappeared. As a leader of the Weather Underground, Jeff evaded an intense FBI manhunt for more than a decade. In 1981, they finally got him. Twenty special agents battered down the door of the Bronx apartment where he was living with his wife and four-year-old son."

Tappis was one of 11 people who signed the original Weathermen statement, which was infamously titled, "You Don't Need a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows."

Rudd, a petition supporter as well as a main signatory to the Progressives for Obama group, was one of the main founders of the Weathermen terrorist organization. A biography published on his website explains Rudd worked to form the Weathermen as a radical alternative to the SDS and for white Americans to eject their "white skin privilege" and begin "armed struggle" against the U.S. government.

What ever happened to our country?

How could someone like this even be considered for the Presidency?

"What comes as a shock to me is how any sane person can support Obama! These things are not made up, but they ignore them & put on blinders & are almost "cult like" in their support of him!"


Cult...is the best word to describe them.

"Cult"...and a total disruption of our Republic that leads to a New World Order...socialsim.

They are trying, but they aren't there yet.

The GOP should run a campaign ad that just lists all the terrorists, dictators, and communists that support 0bama.

Yes. But that would be intelligent.

Is there anything Obama isn’t in to?
How could our country ever nominaye a candidate with:
1) ties to known terrorists
2) ties to people who claim to have had homosexual relations with him
3) an admitted history of illicit drug use
4) ties to a church that preaches racial hatred
5) questionable citizenship and no effort on his part to prove citizenship
6) hates America
7) a wife who hates America
8) hates our Military
9) a socialist

Answer: The media has been taken over by (yes) Marxists, who have totally deceived the American people.
