>>>>Why would a public institution hire him and a good private institution hire her? I’ll bet if you dig deep enough, there’s a connection between these appointments and the Chicago Machine.<<<<<<<
Because Ayer’s father was for several decades a major business and social leader in Chicago.
All following from Wikipedia:
Thomas G. Ayers (February 16, 1915, Detroit, Michigan – June 8, 2007, Chicago, Illinois) was president (1964–1980), CEO and chairman (1973–1980) of Commonwealth Edison.[1]
Ayers served as chairman of the Board of Trustees of Northwestern University, the Erikson Institute, the Bank Street College of Education in New York City, the Chicago Symphony, the Chicago Community Trust, the Chicago Urban League, the Community Renewal Society, the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry, Chicago United, the Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities, and Dearborn Park Corp.,[1] and served as vice president of the Chicago Board of Education.[2]
Ayers also served on the board of directors of Sears, G.D. Searle, Chicago Pacific Corp., Zenith Corp., Northwest Industries, General Dynamics Corp. of St. Louis, First National Bank of Chicago, the Chicago Cubs, and the Tribune Co.[1]

Ya wanta start a pool on
how long it will be before
Bill and Berni will be offered
a position in the O’s admin?
Who was this Illinois Senator that connected Ayers and Obama? If this part is true- who is this person and are they still in play?
those two should get beat up every time they show themselves in public.
I guess if some one goes and bombs some office buildings and no one gets hurt, well thats ok, nobody got hurt.
“thats a important distinction.”
Alice Palmer, the incumbent Obama had thrown off the ballot. Word has it she and an unnamed supporter requested Obama’s “introduction” to Chicago politics at the fundraiser held at Ayers.
True, and since when does terrorism limit itself to killing people? You can’t commit terrorist acts without killing people as the main goal? BS. Too bad they managed to wiggle through that legal loop hole.
Perhaps because Ayers' and Dohrn's ideology and agenda is identical with that of the "educational" institutions who employ them.
They are creatures of the American State.
Ah Ha! The thot plickens...
Thanks for the details...
"Armed struggle has come into being in the United States. It is an indication of growth that our movement has developed clandestine organizations and that we are learning how to fight.
"The development of guerrilla organization and armed activity against the state is most advanced in the Black community, where the tradition and necessity for resistance is highest. The crises of the society provide the training grounds; for Third World people the conditions of prison, the army, the streets and the most oppressive jobs produce warriors, political theorists, and active strategies.
"The Black Liberation Army - fighting for three years under ruthless attack by the state - the fighters in prisons, and recently the Symbionese Liberation Army are leading forces in the development of the armed struggle and political consciousness, respected by ourselves and other revolutionaries.
"At this early stage in the armed and clandestine struggle, our forms of combat and confrontation are few and precise. Our organized forces are small, the enemy's forces are huge. We live inside the oppressor nation, particularly suited to urban guerilla warfare. We are strategically situated in the nerve centers of the international empire, where the institutions and symbols of imperial power are concentrated. The cities will be a major battleground, for the overwhelming majority of people live in the cities, the cities are our terrain.""
Any office pools on the month President Obama calls the FBI off the Dohrn case?
Even if it's not for ideological reasons Obama is like the Clintons. He's got too much baggage to allow law enforcement to do their jobs on certain people.

Imagine having these two domestic terrorists as White House officials!?!
Though they should be turned down for federal security clearances to be within 50 yards of Zer0 and/or the White House.
Though he has no convictions, Ayers has publicly admitted to his criminal activities and shown no remorse whatsoever. Dohrn the same, but she does have a criminal conviction for contempt and was rejected by the New York state bar for character issues.
If anyone here really wants to invest a few days/weeks into making their blood boil and erasing any pretext to what socialism/communism really is...
I suggest you find a used copy of The Black Book Of Communism on Amazon. A new copy will cost you $75 (and good luck trying to find it at Barnes & Noble.) At the price of $20 and a disturbed soul, a used copy of this French compilation of all the crimes of the 20th century’s communist regimes will show you exactly what people like Ayres would do if they ever held power.
The fact that the U.S. aligned itself militarily with the USSR during WWII, even for defensible reasons, bothers me greatly. Our culture mostly still believes that Nazi Germany was the most evil nation in history. Undoubtedly, the Nazis were horrible. But we somehow, then and now, turn a blind eye away from the crimes of the Soviet Union. The Sovs starved, deported and killed more people during the Nazi era than Hitler did. Then, while we were being told of the Nazi’s massive crimes, China methodically killed some 50 million of its own people.
Yet, somehow today, while a neo-Nazi ideology or association rightly gets one relegated to the extreme fringes of society - being a communist is fashionable and admirable in our universities and a large part of our culture. I will never understand this.
Man - you talk about a story that has no legs!!!
Can you see the investigator assigned to this case?
Probably a janitor in Golden Gate Park nearing retirement.
with early dementia, and an alcohol problem.
Propaganda designed to rehabilitate two rats. Let the lie in the nest that they made.
