Ayers Was on Woods Fund Board with Obama When He Stepped on Flag
Little Green Footballs ^ | 10/5/2008 | Charles Johnson

Barack Obama was much older than 8 when William Ayers was photographed stepping on a US flag in 2001, for an article in which Ayers said he had “No Regrets” for his violent actions in the Weather Underground.

In fact, at the same time Ayers was in a Chicago alley desecrating the flag, he and Barack Obama were serving on the board of the Woods Fund together: PolitiFact | Obama served on board with Ayers.

Deborah Harrington, president of the Woods Fund, a philanthropic organization in Chicago, said Obama was a director from 1994 through 2001. That overlaps Ayers’ time as a director by three years. It also means Obama served with Ayers for the final months of 2001, after Ayers made his comments to the New York Times.

BO appealed to the leftists in the primary. He was the most left wing of them all. That’s how he made it this far. He’s been trying to keep ahead using every trick in the book. But I believe that here-on-out, he’ll be in for one bad moment after another. Hope you get to enjoy Hannity tonight. FRegards ....

Take a look into Code Pink’s donation of more than $600,000 in medical supplies and cash to insurgents in Iraq who are fighting against the US. In effect financing the killings of our soldiers.

Both Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans are founders of Code Pink as well as bundlers for the Obama campaign.

After Code Pink admitted giving the “donation” to Iraqi insurgents Obama was asked to give back donations from those two. I know it may surprise people, but he said no.

Do you have a link to that photo you added of Ayers 'dancing' on the American flag? I've never seen that one before. It's different than the one most of us have seen of him standing on it. They apparently were taken at the same time and location.

It's on the first page of this thread. I hadn't seen it before either. It looks like he's jumping up and down on it like a spoiled little child. It really makes me want to beat the crap out of him.

If Sarah had been friends with Timothy McVeigh do you think the press would be so nonchalant?

If Sarah had been friends with Timothy McVeigh would the MSM give her an “Ayers pass”?

Those are the pictures of that bastard that make me want to beat him to a bloody pulp.

It's amazing what an insult it is that he should flaunt his contempt of his country, and his fellow citizens, so brazenly. Of course he does it hiding in some alley somewhere, not out on the steps of the Chicago Library where any dozen passersby would pound him into the cement. And that he has wormed his way into academia to pour his poison into the ears of children, it really pisses me off. Anyone that associates with scum like this must know his vile stench will hang on them forever more. But one assumes that they enjoy the smell.
