I have been posting this around. I even tried posting it on the Huffington Post- I know better than to expect it to survive there. But here goes again:
The following is an email I sent to Bret at Weekend Live on Fox news:
“I would like someone to explain to me the difference between Ayers and Charles Manson. Please bear with me- it’s not far-fetched.
Ayers and Manson both headed groups that killed innocent people, although Manson didn’t actually commit violence himself, but Ayers DID. Is that difference simply that Ayers group killed cops and Manson’s killed “beloved” members of the celebrity community? Manson did not, himself, actually do any physical harm, yet Ayers, himself, planted bombs that severely hurt quite a few people, including a young airman. Well, if the difference is that Ayers “only” hurt government workers and cops, as the wife of a cop, I’m not buying it.
“Out here” we must be responsible for our actions and our associations- “you lie down with dogs, you get fleas”, and all that. I see NO reason why Obama shouldn’t be held to the same account.
Manson will never get out of prison and Ayers has never served a single day. People say Manson is mad because of his “crazy rants”, Yet Ayers gains a university teaching job and a interviews with the mainstream press where he makes HIS crazy rants.
I hope you will understand why I just don’t see the difference between them.”
I WANT someone to explain WHY WHY WHY Ayers walks the streets, poisoning the minds of our children in a classroom and is viewed, somehow, as a politically savvy operative. I WANT to know WHY this man isn’t in prison. If a person can be sent to prison for the REST of his life for what his followers did and STAY there because of his percieved craziness- then WHY isn’t Ayers in the next cell??!!
Ayres had a very wealthy daddy to bail him out in the end, Ayres had money, education etc. Manson was a very poor. The point is Ayres was a spoiled brat terrorist. Ayres and Obama also looted this foundation that was supposed to help education.
"I don’t regret setting bombs," Ayers was quoted in the opening line of the Times profile; "I feel we didn’t do enough." In 1969, Ayers and his wife convened a "War Council" in Flint Michigan, whose purpose was to launch a military front inside the United States with the purpose of helping Third World revolutionaries conquer and destroy it. Taking charge of the podium, dressed in a high-heeled boots and a leather mini-skirt – her signature uniform – Dorhn incited the assembled radicals to join the war against "Amerikkka" and create chaos and destruction in the "belly of the beast." Her voice rising to a fevered pitch, Dohrn raised three fingers in a "fork salute" to mass murderer Charles Manson whom she proposed as a symbol to her troops. Referring to the helpless victims of the Manson Family as the "Tate Eight" (the most famous was actress Sharon Tate) Dohrn shouted:
Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!
Embarrassed today by this memory, but unable to expunge it from the record and unwilling to repudiate her terrorist deeds, Dorhn resorts to the lie direct. "It was a joke," she told the sympathetic Times reporter, Dinitia Smith; she was actually protesting America’s crimes.
“Ayers and Manson both headed groups that killed innocent people”
Actually, the Weather Underground never killed anyone (unless you count blowing themselves up). There is some reason to believe that they were about to kill innocent people, but they never actually did.
Why?
Because no one has waxed him.
20 bombs later and he still walkin'.
