About the Weather Underground-related police killings mentioned in the new anti-Obama ad (revised)

You know, the vast majority of Americans will not necessarily see this ad you posted as a bad thing, because all it implies is that Obama is trying to 'help oppressed people everywhere'. Isn't that what Bush is, not just saying, but actually doing? And when they see our side mocking or ridiculing things like this, they will think we really are racist and bigoted. It's like trying to slam liberals by saying they want to help poor people. If this group has ties to radical Islam and terrorism, then provide some credible evidence (links, etc) to go along with the ad.

BTW, that guy on the far left looks like Cornell West.

Cornell West is a communist:

Hamilton College's Other Leftist Problem
By Thomas Ryan
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, February 03, 2005

By now, it is well known that New York state's Hamilton College invited, then uninvited, to its campus a radical professor who has repeatedly stated the victims of 9/11 deserved to die. What is less well known is that the professor who sponsored Ward Churchill's talk has a long history of radicalizing her college, shares ideological and family ties to domestic terrorists -- and is still being well-compensated for her efforts to spread anti-American hatred among that college's student body.

Nancy Rabinowitz, who started teaching at Hamilton in 1978, is Hamilton College's professor of Comparative Literature and director of the campus’ Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture.

In addition to the Ward Churchill invitation, Rabinowitz extended a job offer to domestic terrorist and last-minute Clinton pardon recipient Susan Rosenberg on behalf of the Kirkland Project.

However, Rabinowitz's ties to violent anti-Americanism go beyond mere emotional support; she has family ties to those who seek to overthow our government. Her father-in-law was renowned Communist proponent and lawyer Victor Rabinowitz, whose law firm -- Rabinowitz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky and Lieberman -- has represented domestic terrorists, accused spies, and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Rabinowitz defended his partner Leonard Boudin’s daughter and Weather Underground member Kathy Boudin, who was personally involved with the murders of three policemen [1981 Brinks robbery]. Throughout the 1970’s, the Weather Underground was responsible for the bombings of the National Guard offices in Washington, D.C.; the U.S. Capitol Building; the New York City Police Headquarters; and the Pentagon. (Susan Rosenberg belonged to a group closesly associated with the Weathermen.)

Victor Rabinowitz’s law firm served as the primary counsel to the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (NECLC), an organization that filled its ranks with members of the Communist Party, and sought to represent radicals individuals and groups seeking to destroy the U.S. Constitution. In the early 1960’s, Rabinowitz was identified in Senate testimony as being a member of the Communist Party USA. His partner Leonard Boudin’s participation was exposed by a defense memorandum based on declassified summaries of secret FBI files on the Weather Underground that came to light in December 1980. The NECLC’s Washington-based office also housed the law offices of the late National Lawyers Guild (NLG) attorneys David Rein and Joseph Forer, who were also associated with Rabinowitz’ law firm. Rein has been identified as a CPUSA member, while Forer served as co-counsel for the Communist Party with John Abt, a founding member of the NLG, who, in addition to serving on the CPUSA Political Committee, also directed a Soviet spy group in Washington (the “Ware Group”). In 1997, the NECLC merged with the far-Left Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), and amended its clientele to include not only Communists, but also proponents of Islamic terrorism. (CCR's latest suit, filed in Germany, claims Donald Rumsfeld is a war criminal.)

Nancy Rabinowitz has made it clear she shares affection for her father-in-law's son and his causes.

Hiring Domestic Terrorists

In 2004, Hamilton’s Kirkland Project director offered a teaching position to domestic terrorist Susan Rosenberg -- a member of “The Family,” a radical left-wing terrorist group that was affiliated with the Weather Underground.

In 1981, Rosenberg became a suspect in the robbery of an armored car, which resulted in the deaths of two police officers and an armed guard. She was indicted for both the plotting of the robbery and driving the getaway car; however, these charges were later dropped, when, in 1984, she was sentenced to 58 years in Federal prison for the illegal possession of dynamite and weapons. Upon her arrest, Rosenberg exclaimed, “We’re caught, but we’re not defeated. Long live the armed struggle!”

Rosenberg’s sentence was commuted by Bill Clinton on his last day in office, and four years later, she was offered the position at Hamilton by Rabinowitz, who renamed the position from “artist/scholar-in-residence” to “artist/activist-in-residence.” Rosenberg eventually bowed out of the position, when her past was exposed. She was to teach the creative writing course “Resistance Memoirs: Writing, Identity and Change;” one of her accreditations having been that she had won awards for her writing while in prison. One of her poems is a paeon to a convicted cop-killer, entitled “To Free Mumia Abu Jamal.”

Writer Roger Kimball reported that when Hamilton alumnus and official class representative Brendan McCormick attempted to alert his classmates of the appointment of Rosenberg's appointment in 2004, Hamilton College’s development office refused to send out a letter from him, although the practice is considered routine. McCormick later stated that he had to point out to them “the hypocrisy of sending out a press release claiming that you do not censor speech and then turning around and doing just that.” However, public controvery -- stirred in no small measure by FrontPage Magazine's expose -- cancelled the appointment.

Is the AmericanIssues video about Ayers the one that caused Obama to demand that the attorney general prosecute the man who paid for the ad?

[potlatch]

Good post devolve. That is a header for CAIR - [Council on American-Islamic Relations-], isn't it?

[devolve]

That website header image has been pulled from that website and replaced by one without the photographic image of Barack Hussein Obama Junior -

GOOGLE up Najee Ali and read read about his multiple aliases and his long criminal felony record -

I post images and information that is intended to encourage the viewers to "do a little research" themselves but perhaps you did not do so -

Another little teaser for FReepers and lurkers to dwell on:



Cornel West? The famous entitled genius author?

[devolve]

Thanks potlatchGreat informative post!

A perfect preview of my last post

[devolve]

[edzo4]

love it!

[potlatch]

Shoot, I couldn’t recall if the H.O.P.E. header was part of C.A.I.R. or not. How fast I forget!

Najee Ali;

“Organizations like CAIR, MPAC, AMT, and the UMMA Community Clinic, work on behalf of our community. We support one another’s work; we don’t compete, but try to complement each other. We have worked on various issues over the years together and will continue to do so. Islamic unity is the key to our success.”

[potlatch]

Lol, came out pretty nice huh? Looks good blown up. I turned the TV on just in time to see Hill give up her delegates!

Shoot, the convention has been pretty tame compared to what I envisioned!

[Eagles6]

"Ayers gets a university professorship, and David Horowitz can’t speak on a university campus."

Yeah, you nailed it

[devolve]

.

potlatch put that together

Since I use a dinky circa 2000 WebTV Plus - I am limited to Macromedia Flash 4.0 -

And FR does not support posting Flash or JavaScript on open FR threads -

I started using JavaScript Slideshow webpages to so a number of images with a very low bandwidth required to load a webpage compared to a number of large filesize still &/or animated images on one webpage - with audio Autostart BGsound

I can add certain autostart .swf files within my FR thread posts - but only WebTV, MSN-TV, and MSN-TV2 internet reciever users on MSN as their IP can hear them - (for now anyway)

This led to attempting to create small (animated) Slideshow .gif videos - using a bit of the style of a short TV ad

potlatch is great at taking certain images and combining them into a really funny - yet informative - and hard-hitting video parody format that can be easily posted on FR or other newsites and used in personal emails

It takes a while to develope and refine this type of graphic - and I realize some on FR do not care for them -

But this type of Slideshow graphic quickly gets a concept across when reams of typed text just make many people “scroll on down”

From the article:

"Mr. Ayers, who in 1970 was said to have summed up the Weatherman philosophy as:

'Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at,' is today distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

interesting note on wiki:

“The Workshop had been established in the early 1990s by William Ayers who hired Mike Klonsky, a Chicago cab driver who had earned a Ph.D. in education from the University of South Florida, and former activist with Ayers in Students for a Democratic Society, or SDS. Klonsky had achieved limited notoriety in 1977 when he traveled to Beijing to seek the endorsement of Communist China for a political party he had helped establish in the United States, the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist).”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Klonsky

“Michael Klonsky (born 1943) is an American educator and political activist, a leader of the New Communist Movement.”

also professor at University of Chicago...

Thanks for this! Verrrry interesting. Don't have time at the moment to look further into it, but certainly will later!
