The 'Bonnie and Clyde' of 60's Radicalism Given a Pass on 'The O'Reilly Factor' PDF E-mail

 SHOCKING AUDIO TAPES OF RADICAL BOMBER BILL AYERS AND CONNECTIONS TO SENATOR BARACK OBAMA.

Bill O'Reilly and I discussed the connections of  University of Illinois at Chicago Professor Bill Ayers (former Weather Underground founder) and the Obama campaign.

O'Reilly was inclined to give Obama a pass on his financial/personal connections to Ayers, who alongwith his wife Bernadine Dohrn, was responsible for bombing at least a dozen places during the 1960's during their Vietnam era protests.

Ayers never served a day in jail, nor did his wife, for those assaults on America (Dohrn served about a year and a half  on unrelated charges.)

BTW, Dohrn has crazier than her husband --she embraced Charles Manson's slaughter of innocent people (Sharon Tate, Abigail Folger, the LaBianca's and others) during Manson's killing spree.

 However, the Weather Underground did manage to blow up three of their comrades with a bomb designed to kill Army officers at Fort Dix. 

I vehemently disagreed that O'Reilly should give Obama a pass on this part of his personal history.

Ayers and Dohrn are hereafter referred to as "Bonnie and Clyde" of the sixties radicalized anti-war movement. Today, they would be called 'Domestic Terrorists."

Let's review the bidding, shall we?Barack Obama & William Ayres

  • According to Politico.com, in 1995, Barack Obama visited the home of William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, known as members of the 60’s and 70’s anti-war radical group “Weather Underground”. Ayers took responsibility for 12 bombings including the NYC Police HQ in 1970, the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972. He was never convicted of any crime. 
 
  • Ayers told the New York Times on September 11, 2001, "I don't regret setting bombs...I feel we didn't do enough."

Ayers is a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His wife, Bernadine Dohrn, is a Clinical Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University Law School
I guess that is all Obama sees. Who's past matters?

I watched her interview and I agree with her. O’Reilly is catering to Obama. I suppose he promised to come on his show.

Unless you do all the work, O’Rielly won't even listen for second. Even then there's no guarantee.

Not exactly the "Hardest Working Man" in news.

The bombs were intended for a Non Commissioned Officers dance at Fort Dix. Had the hand of God not intervened, Ayers' Weathermen would have killed hundreds and hundreds of American GIs and their dates.

O’Reilly always wants to be “nice nice”. I can’t stomach the man. I watch when he has the culture quiz because that is fun. I even like Dennis Miller. But when he tries to take the “high ground” I want to puke.

Bill has been putting on extreme radicals lately and calling them “guests” and affording them very respectful treatment.

Bill has been an arrogant tool for a while now.

Because the investigation against them was muffed thanks to the illegal activities of the Washington Post’s favorite Watergate answer man himself, Mark Felt — aka Deep Throat.

In 1972-73, FBI official Felt and his colleague Edward S. Miller authorized nine illegal break-ins at the homes of Weather Underground members. When the black bag jobs became public, the federal government decided it couldn’t prosecute the alleged terrorists. Indicted during the Carter Administration, Felt and Miller were tried in 1980 in Washington. Ever the patriot, former President Nixon voluntarily testified on the defendants’ behalf, but they were convicted anyway and pardoned by President Reagan in March 1981.

Glenn Beck puts Oreilly to shame. Of course Oreilly rarely gets tuned into on my TV now that Glenn Beck is on.

"New story to me....can someone tell me WHY he and his wife were never prosecuted?"

The FBI bungled the case and the evidence to prosecute couldn't be used. THAT is the __only__ reason he and his terrorist friends didn't go to prison.

That’s pretty much the way I see things. I stopped watching Oh’Really long ago when he started putting on Whoraldo. Oh’Really is too full of himself. If I want to listen to liberals, I’d watch more of CNN.

O’Reilly has always been style over substance, even before the factor. He skims the Cliff Notes on an issue and then takes a bombastic stance, facts be damned, see his opinion on FreeRepublic.com and hundreds of other issues.

O’Reilly is pandering to Barama , because he promised Bill he would appear on his show one day for an interview . Bill must think that any negative statements he makes might kill any chance with an interview .

I too stopped watching or listening top O’Reilly about a year and a half ago. Indeed in his pandering to the left with his “FAIRNESS” BS, he is about the same as the nameless crew on MSNBC. What I wonder about is where is the wrath of those “conservatives” like Coulter who tell us to vote Dimocrat in the upcoming election because McCain is so bad for those of us who think we are conservative and like to win a war battle by battle? Why aren't they up in arms calling for a boycott of this “liberal” Reilly?
