Daley on Obama and Ayers: 'They're friends. So what?'
The Chicago Tribune's John Kass jumps on the story of Stanley Kurtz, the library at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and 132 boxes full of documents pertaining to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge - the project that Bill Ayers founded and Barack Obama chaired.
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley offers his non-answer on whether the library, named after his father, should release the documents:
"Bill Ayers—I've said this—his father was a great friend of my father," the mayor said. "I'll be very frank. Vietnam divided families, divided people. It was a terrible time of our country. People didn't know one another. Since then, I'll be very frank, [Ayers] has been in the forefront of a lot of education issues and helping us in public schools and things like that."
The mayor expressed his frustrations with outside agitators like Kurtz.
"People keep trying to align himself with Barack Obama," Daley said. "It's really unfortunate. They're friends. So what? People do make mistakes in the past. You move on. This is a new century, a new time. He reflects back and he's been making a strong contribution to our community."
Completely unmentioned is whether documents held at a state-run university's library, about a project to reform and improve public school systems, relating to a public figure who wants to be the next president, can be withheld from the public's eyes.
Also note that Daley says that "people do make mistakes in the past," although William Ayers has never expressed regret for setting bombs in places like the U.S. Capitol and women's bathrooms in the Pentagon.
I was arguing with my ueber-liberal aunt-in-law the other day about the Bill Ayers connection to Obama, and finally she just blurted out, “it just doesn’t bother me”. Absolutely chilling how these people think and what they are willing to rationalize.
I expect any day for someone to come out and say the infanticide issue “just doesn’t bother me” when the evidence becomes undeniable.
Totally corrupt.
That's just it, dufus. Ayers is unrepentant over his murderous past and does not think it a mistake. He said he didn't do enough in the way of bombings. THAT is the issue.
Yes but let us see how America feels about this terrorist having the ear of the next President? The whole Democrat party is full of Ayers types. Shoot a Rasmussen poll showed that 60% of Democrats either believed that George Bush knew about the coming 9-11 attacks or thought he may have known. The people are radical Anti everything that makes America great. Taxes, Big government, radical feminists, radical environmentalists, abortion, radical sexual ac activists don’t make America great. They are big sores on the face of America. That is why Democrats don’t run ads saying we are going to raise your taxes for your own good. They can’t run on what they really believe.
“’They’re friends. So what?’”
“Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character” (I Cor.15:33)
Any questions?
What Chicago need is a good enema to wash out shit like Richard M. Daley who should be serving time in prison right now.
I'm sure John McCain doesnt have any friends who have had their pictures taken like these.
Thjey don’t care that Robert Byrd was a Kleagle either.
As he always does on everything.
Daley should have been hounded out of office after the ‘95 heatwave deaths.
Wait till Obambi starts bringing his “family members” from all across the globe to the Whitehouse.....(THIS STUFF IS SCARY!)
Yeah, people do make mistakes in the past, they normally recognize them as mistakes and admit them as such.
Bill Ayers has not done any of these things
Until he does, you can't move on, even it is is new century
“It just doesn’t bother me” usually means “I don’t know enough to have an informed opinion, and I don’t want to admit to it.” or, “I could give a **** if it’s wrong, I don’t care because I haven’t exactly been very moral or ethical in my own life, either, so how can I pass judgment on another?” or, “I secretly supported the Weather Underground and had a crush on Bill.” LOL.
You know the far right picture just needs a noose rope photo shopped in to compete the picture
I agree with Daley 100%. My best buddy, osama bin laden, is in my golfing foursome each saturday. I’m still a patriot - so what?
McCain should have included this in his new ad about the Obama/Ayers relationship. It could have ended with Daley’s quote, “They’re friends. So what?”
That's just it, dufus. Ayers is unrepentant over his murderous past and does not think it a mistake. He said he didn't do enough in the way of bombings. THAT is the issue.
Exactly! This "mistake" goes to core character - and he still doesn't think he did anything wrong.
How many anarchists, Communists, terrorists, and Black Supremacists does The One need to hang around throughout his entire life before people understand that he is one of them?
And his counterattacks on McCain are pitiful - so McCain doesn't know how many houses his wife owns. So what? The One doesn't know how many states are in the US and no one outside of conservative bloggers cares about that gaffe.
I hope McCain's ad on this starts voters opening their eyes on this dangerous man that could possibly become President.
I guess you could say that about Osama too, then.
It yields a very specific guage of just exactly how far left the Democrat party has moved since 1968.
Ritchie should know.
So will *anyone* ever ask Ayers, now that the Statute of Limitations is expired, if he or other members of his Weather Underground were involved in the still-unsolved shooting and mugging of Senator Stennis, circa 1973?
It’s here already. I had someone on another forum say I’d rather know how his mind ticks than when someone thinks a baby is viable. Am working on the response now.
So what? This ad says "So what"!!!
Is there no depth to which Dimocraps will descend?
His wife declared war against the USA on behalf of the Weathemen who then carried out their threats by bombing this country. Ayers, like all the Weathermen, should have been tried for treason and put in front of a firing squad.
Daley thinks himself to be invincible. In fact, isn’t that the delusion of most Democrats?
daley would be much of better use to mankind underground inspiring the cabbages...
If that's the case Mayor, then why are you blocking access to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge papers at the University of Illinois at Chicago?
That 15th hole with the bomb craters on the Tora Bora course is tough, isn't it?
“Obama and Satan? They’re friends, so what.”
“Obama and Stalin? They’re friends, so what?”
“Obama and Bin Laden? They’re friends, so what?”
“Obama and Pol Pot? They’re friends, so what?”
It’s not the craters that’s tough but the remaining bones and skeletons that get in the way of the putts.
Tell ‘em that it’s pretty obvious “how his mind ticks” -
he has core values that must be hidden, that’s why he won’t answer,
and that simply reveals that his core value are detestable to the majority of people.
The evidence on the infanticide issue has already become undeniable.
Sean Hannity’s been playing the audio tapes. This issue got hot on H&C tonight.
