On Bill Ayers and small 'c' communists

Bill Ayers said in 1995 that he was just a "small ‘c' communist." He said it with a little laugh. And most of us aren't even shocked. We've heard words like that before. But we should feel shivers running up our spines.
I know goofy liberals who moan about all the good intentions demonstrated by Karl Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky. They're all Obama voters, for some reason. They are the same kinds of people who
think Jesus was a communist, and that
George W. Bush is Hitler. They are often the kind of people who try desperately to be completely
nice in their lives, especially to designated victims. But often they harbor a belly full of rage -- against conservatives, or big corporations, or fundamentalist Christians, or anybody who challenges their belief in their own saintliness.
In basic politics there are only two numbers you need to know. One is Six Million. You know what that means. The other number is not nearly as well-known, but it should be. It's One Hundred Million. Six Million is forever linked to Hitler's Final Solution to the Jewish Problem. Whether it was precisely Six Million, or whether we should include the Armenian Genocide committed by the Turks, or whether we should add the tens of millions of other people killed by Hitler, not to mention all the other genocides in history ... all that comes later. The expression "Six Million" has come to be a touchstone for human evil, and we fragile humans really need our touchstones. Otherwise we get confused, and wander off into perversity. We become suckers to political scam artists.
We need some kind of soundbite to remind us of deliberately chosen human evil, and Six Million is just about the right size to keep in mind. Six Million should stand for all the massacres of innocents: In Rwanda, in centuries of African slave trade, in Nanking, in Turkish Armenia, in the Partition of India, the list is painfully long.
One Hundred Million is the estimated number of people massacred by Communists in the 20th Century, according to a definitive study by French Leftist historian Stéphane Courtois and his team, published in
The Black Book of Communism.
One Hundred Million is the second soundbite every sane person on earth should know.
Six Million and One Hundred Million -- forget all the quibbles, just listen to the sound of those numbers.
Now when your friendly neighborhood "small ‘c' communist" comes along, all smiles, and offering love and peace, we need to say just one thing: One Hundred Million. If that doesn't wipe the smile off their faces they are beyond human reach. By that act of willed ignorance they have exiled themselves from the company of decent people.
Try it some time: There are an amazing number of nominally sane people who will try to explain that number One Hundred Million away. Vladimir Putin is doing it even now in Russia, where many of the murderers and their victims lived. That reveals what kind of man Putin really is.
In the same way, murderous racists need to be confronted with only one number: Six Million. It's not because those murder victims were Jews killed by Nazis. It is just a gut-grabbing allusion to deliberate, massive human evil -- always performed in the name of some transcendent ideal, of course.
So we only need to ask about two numbers to find out where people stand.
If Professor Bill Ayers then comes along and
says with his little laugh,
"I am a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist ... [Laughs] Maybe I'm the last communist who is willing to admit it. ... The ethics of Communism still appeal to me."
Well, right away we know who he is, don't we?
Or take his lady wife, Bernardine Dohrn, who famously
cheered on the Manson murders in 1969:
"Dig it! First they killed those pigs and then they put a fork in their bellies. Wild!"
She's sure no Governor Palin of Alaska, is she?
Or take the grinning minister who
tells his people that "Jesus was a Communist." (What about those 100 million, Reverend?)
Then there's Obama's Harvard Law backer, black supremacist Don Warden, aka
Khaleed Al Mansoor,
"...whatever you do to [white people], they deserve it, God wants you to do it and that's when you cut out the nose, cut out the ears, take flesh out of their body, don't worry because God wants you to do it." â¨
It's kind of a twist on Sesame Street: Which of these is just like the others?
They're all the same, kids.
So if somebody -- say, one of our presidential candidates -- if he just doesn't get that, it really tells us all we need to know, doesn't it?
I would never give the time of day to anybody who fills his life with Nazis, Kluxers, or Maoists. Or with bloody-minded professors of any stripe whatsoever.
And to Professor Bill Ayers: If you were just "a small ‘n' nazi," instead of "a small ‘c' communist" ... you would still be just as evil as you obviously are. You have convicted yourself out of your own mouth.
See, simple touchstones are pretty useful.

A Communist is a Communist.
Small 'c' or capitol 'C', either way it is still spells Communist.

A small “c” communist is one who is temporarily out of ammo for his AK-47.
(Or is so inept at handling C4 that he’s afraid he might blow himself up, like his friends did.)

Now you just need to tell us what your source is.
To: igoramus08
several times, tonight, I heard sycophantic pundits cooing over how calm and cool and collected Obama was. “Very presidential” in the words of that disgusting yenta, Doris Kearns Goodwin. so I looked at the tape. Sure enough...there he was. But I saw something much different. Something more real. a cold calculating Marxist with no emotion, simply saying what he was programmed to say. doing what he was programmed to do. No particular desire or fire in the belly. He's simply an operative. He is programmed to annihilate the middle class by pretending to be one of them. BY pretending to look out for their interests.

He also flat out lied about his political coming out party at Ayer’s house.

Obama was at Columbia. Graduated in 1983. During that time he took an English class from Edward Said, whom he became friendly with.
371 yards down the street, another friend of Edward Said, William Ayers was studying at Bank Street College of Education, from which he graduated in 1984 before then attending Columbia himself.
It requires the “willing suspension of disbelief” to think that two people with common radical political affiliations and common friends could circulate in close proximity for 4 years and not know each other.

That’s your “proof”?
Swing a dead cat at Columbia and chances are you’ll hit a person with “radical political affiliations.”
I very strongly suspect they did know each other then, but you have no more proof of it than I do.

Bill Ayers said in 1995 that he was just a "small c' communist."Hah!! So I suppose it's O.K. to be a "small 'n' Nazi"?

“a small ‘c’ communist is one who is temporarily out of ammo for his ak-47.”
it’s also one who knows that the population is still armed and to come out of the closet would be disastrous.
besides, they are murdering, lying, thieving scu&bags who lie their way into office and do the slow, incremental revolution thing until the frog gets boiled to death. (then it’s easy to subdue a population that has been conditioned to be passive.)
IMHO

Greta on FOX just said Bill Ayers had a front row seat at the debate. Did anyone else hear that? Is it true?
If there’s a photo, someone please post and please send to Team McCain.

To: SirJohnBarleycorn
I very strongly suspect they did know each other then, but you have no more proof of it than I do.The proof is most likely in the information that Obama is concealing about his time at Columbia. Ayers must have been a celebrity among that radical crowd. He had just beaten the rap and had had a lot of publicity. Obama wrote that "actively sought out Marxist professors", both Said and Ayers would fit that bill.
Then, of course, Obama just happened to move to Ayers' home town from New York, and just happened to get into Harvard on the recommendation of friends of Ayers' father, and just happened to get a summer job at the law firm that had Ayers' father as a major client and just happened to end up on TWO boards which Ayers was on...
And after all that they allegedly "met" in Chicago..
As I said, it requires "the willing suspension of disbelief."

It is frustrating that we don’t have access to NYC police and FBI files covering the years that Ayers was in the Columbia neighborhood. Knowing Ayers, he would have been looking for someone like Obama and it is very likely, but as yet unproven, that he found him.
Without the files or testimony of a detective or agent or other observer that may be the best we can do

This is why we need to be concerned about Bill Ayers and his connection to Barack Hussein Obama. He and his Wife Bernardine Dorhn raised this step Son Chesa who is a Communist ACTIVIST!. Funny how you can go from community activist to being a full fledged Communist. But Americans better wake up before we elect the real Manchurian Candidate. Obamas link to Ayers and Dohrn are important to us as we will end up like Cuba or Venezuela a country that both Ayers and Chesa are really tied too. Do a Google search for this connection.
There is a chapter in the book by the son of Rashid Khalidi that again shows Why the Jewish voter should be alarmed with voting for Obama. Rashids son is Ismail Khalidi as radical as you can get. Read at Google Books his letter to his parents! This is very troubling if youre an Israel supporter.
Recent Macalester College graduate Ismail Khalidi, 22, was born to Palestinian parents in Lebanon and grew up in Chicago. His letter is to his parents and he wrote it right after the seige and bombardment of Fallujah in November 2004. "It was written in a desolate time of year--winter--miming the desolate time in our country and other countries," says Khalidi. "It's really kind of a 'sad poem,' but also a way for me to take stock of what I believe in." And what he believes in is the struggle for justice.
, Khalid writes, "I know I am never doing enough and that I have much to learn, but I know that I am still learning, and that I will find my own way to fight. I know you understand that, and that is what pushes me onward when the wind chill plummets and when lies pass for truth."
You can only assume Ismail was another classmate of Chesa and taught by Ayers,Dorhn and Obama.
Obamas Ties to anti-American friends is troubling and we need to stop his election by educating the American public.
Here is the link to a book published by Chesa and others. I can bet you that most of these activists are working for Obama or ACORN during this campaign in some stealth manner.
