Amazing. Eric Holder’s DOJ funds a Bernadine Dohrn-connected organizationby Tammy on May 7, 2012 The craven, distructive arrogance of these people never ceases to amaze. Great investigation here by National Review Online. Bernardine Dohrn has a history with the Justice Department. More specifically, in the early 1970s, she was one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives because of her actions with the Weather Underground, a violent radical organization. Times have changed. In 2010 and 2011, the Justice Department saw fit to give $400,000 in grants to an organization that lists Dohrn as a member of its board of directors: a...

Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn paid an impromptu visit to Occupy Wall Street in New York City Friday, bestowing their advice to a gaggle of elated protesters. Ayers and Dohrn, former leaders of the violent leftist Weather Underground group, were greeted like rock stars at the camp. A reception, you’ll soon hear, they wouldn‘t want to give the nation’s military members. The couple passed along protesting and anti-military nuggets of wisdom to the youngsters who received it in good spirits. For example, the former confidants to President Obama made sure to mention that America is “a declining power”...

I’m getting really, really sick of these pundits and talking heads on the so-called “right” clucking their tongues at the unwashed masses and telling us that we’re crazy and paranoid to be the least bit concerned each and every time the Obama regime takes another stride toward totalitarianism. And it is EACH AND EVERY TIME. Let me break it down for Ed Morrissey, and all of the other pundits in that social circle so that you can get your heads around this. We are concerned and even, dare I say it, panicked, because we can see the big picture of...

For the low, low price of $2,500, you can have dinner cooked for you by Weather Underground agitators and terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Bidders at 32Auctions.com are invited to, “Enjoy an unforgettable and scintillating dinner for a party of six cooked by veteran activists and educators Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Fascinating conversation over a meal,” the website promises, “is the agenda for this special evening.” In the late 1960s and early 1970s, both Ayers and Dohrn were leaders of the violent, communist organization Weather Underground — a splinter group from the radical Students for a Democratic Society,...

The National Lawyers Guild says it has obtained a court that allows Occupy Wall St. protesters to return with tents to a New York City park. The guild says the injunction prevents the city from enforcing park rules on Occupy Wall Street protesters. Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the city knew about the court order but has not seen it. He says the city plans to go court immediately.

In 2008 The LA Times withheld a video that contained footage of Barack Obama celebrating with a group of Palestinians who were openly hostile towards Israel. Barack Obama reportedly even gave a toast to a former PLO operative, Rashid Khalidi, at this celebration. This was something the LA Times hid from the American public before the election. The media refused to release the video. Terrorist Bill Ayers, Barack Obama and his good friend Jew-hater Rashid Khalidi There were also reports that terrorists Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn were at the same Jew-bash.

As the cliche goes, there are no coincidences in politics. Obama fundraiser group Code Pink just happened to have arrived in Cairo last week for the group’s ninth visit there in two years as part of its campaign to undermine the Mubarak government and help Hamas, the terrorist group that controls Gaza. Code Pink and the media are trying to portray the leftist group's 'sudden' appearance in Cairo Wednesday as an act of courageous support for a democratic revolution. Nothing could be further from the truth.Code Pink protests the Mubarak government in Tahrir Square, Cairo, Egypt. February 2, 2011. Code...

It took less than 24 hours for the political Left to seize upon the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of six people on Saturday to blame the political Right for the shooting. Perhaps the most egregious example came from Paul Krugman of the New York Times, who wrote "We don't have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was." (The newspaper that published plagiarized and fabricated accounts of the "D.C. sniper" by affirmative-action hire Jayson Blair in 2003 is still publishing unsubstantiated suppositions without "proof," eh?) "[Giffords'] father says that ‘the...

On Monday, we asked, in the context of the Southern Poverty Law Center conflating Constitutionalists with haters, if a video warning law enforcement to cue their behavior in citizen encounters off of bumper stickers could either chill free speech or endanger Americans expressing political sentiments. We followed up yesterday asking if video co-narrator/former ATF Special Agent in Charge James Cavanaugh was a credible SPLC spokesperson. Here’s someone—a leading “respected” academic and activist who agrees with “Waco Jim” and the SPLC about the armed political right: "It's racist, it's armed, it's hostile, it's unspeakable," she said. "White people armed, demanding an...

A former undercover FBI informant who once spied on 1970s anti-war radicals who bombed government offices is calling on Congress to set up a committee or task force to bring "terrorists" – including those who may be in high and influential positions today – to justice. The request comes from Larry Grathwohl, whose book "Bringing Down America – An FBI Informer with the Weathermen" alleges Bill Ayers, a friend of President Obama, told Grathwohl that Bernardine Dohrn, who later became Ayers' wife, placed a pipe bomb outside a San Francisco Police Department building Feb. 16, 1970. The shrapnel from the...

Academia: In an era when our universities have become liberal re-education camps, '60s radical William Ayers has been denied professor emeritus status. For one brief instance, academia shows a spine. It was, no pun intended, a bombshell. Ayers, a professor at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and co-founder of the anti-war group Weather Underground, was denied the honor he requested for himself after a passionate speech by board chairman Chris Kennedy, son of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy. Kennedy said he could not confer the title "to a man whose body of work includes a book dedicated in part to...

Let us remember her tonight and tomorrow. And let us remember that the mastermind behind her death is still causing problems in our society. There are cults all over the world who celebrate Charles Manson. Let us think about what that says about our world. The anniversary of her death comes slightly after midnight tonight.

Americans opposed to Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip are organizing a ship from the United States to take part in an international flotilla. The flotilla, set to sail to Gaza in September or October, will be made up of ships from India, Europe, Canada, South Africa and the Middle East. The organizers hope to name the American ship The Audacity of Hope, after President Obama's second autobiographical book.

It was Bill Ayers who gave Obama his first real job, if one can call it that, as the Executive Director of the Chicago Annenberg Project. Yet when asked about his relationship with Ayers in the 2008 Democratic primary debate, Obama downplayed this significant relationship by saying that Ayers was 'just a guy in the neighborhood that I knew.' The reason for the lies is clear. Obama knew he had to gloss over that relationship due to the fact that Ayers and Dohrn have both stated repeatedly, and recently, that they regretted having not 'done much more' in their radical...

After days of listening and watching the relentless drumbeat of the mainstream media and 'global community' bash Israel over its interception of a so-called 'peace flotilla' near Gaza, Glenn Beck of Fox News exposed the terrorists behind the entire 'humanitarian' ruse. Israel had every right, and indeed, a responsibility to prevent the flotilla from getting any closer to Gaza. Egypt and Cyprus, interestingly enough, refused to allow the flotilla entrance into their ports. But you won't hear the mainstream media say a word about it. The entire operation, going under the guise of a 'humanitarian peace mission' to Gaza, is...

Given the extraordinary sudden turnabout in US policy toward Israel under the Obama Administration, I have become obsessed by the repressed 2003 videotape of Rashid Khalidi and Barack Obama. That tape — or so we are told — is ensconced in a safe at the Los Angeles Times building. In the current situation, its release by the paper is more important and newsworthy than ever. The Khalidi tape could be of tremendous significance in revealing the provenance of Obama’s views on the Middle East and the degree to which the public was misled on those views during the presidential campaign....

Doublespeak at the University of Wyoming April 6, 2010 On March 30, 2010, officials at the University of Wyoming, citing “security threats” and “controversy,” canceled two talks I was invited to give in early April, one a public lecture entitled “Trudge Toward Freedom: Moral Commitment and Ethical Action,” and the other, a talk to faculty and graduate students called “Teaching and Research in the Public Interest: Solidarity and Identity.” I’d been invited in August, 2009, but one week before I was to travel to Laramie, I was told I had been “disinvited.” In February, as the University began to publicize...

Oh the shame of it all. Last month, 1,300 pro-Palestinian activists from the US and Europe came to the region in the name of peace and social justice to demonstrate their solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. Led by the self-declared feminist, antiwar group Code Pink, the demonstrators' plan was to enter Gaza from the Egyptian border at Rafah and deliver "humanitarian aid" to the Hamas terrorist organization. But it was not to be. Led by Code Pink founder and California Democratic fund-raiser Jodie Evans, the demonstrators were not welcomed by Egyptian authorities. Many were surrounded by riot police and...

“What a country. It makes me want to puke.”Bill Ayers, the former terrorist who’s now a professor of education at the University of Illinois, said that in 2001 about the United States.It’s a safe bet that people with his degree of America-hatred don’t like Israel either. Indeed, Ayers has now joined 431 academics in signing an anti-Israeli petition.Not surprisingly it accuses Israel of apartheid—the ritual accusation of the Israel-hating crowd that dreams of Israel’s Jewish-majority government being forced to dissolve the way South Africa’s white-minority government was forced to. The petition also “urge[s] our colleagues, nationally, regionally, and internationally, to...

Barack Obama's longtime association with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn has caused the presidential candidate some serious political problems. In spite of efforts by Obama's friends in the media to suppress, contain, or explain away the issue, more information about the Ayers-Obama ties has continued to come out. In recent weeks, a number of websites have posted text, audio, or video of an interview with Larry Grathwohl from the 1982 video documentary No Place to Hide: The Strategy and Tactics of Terrorism by the Western Goals Foundation. I worked on that video as a researcher and...

*snip* Bill Ayers is now a distinguished professor of education and a senior university scholar at the University of Illinois, Chicago. *snip* Bernardine Dohrn is an associate professor of Law at Northwestern University School of Law and the director of Northwestern’s Children and Family Justice Center. Well, Democracy Now!’s Juan Gonzalez ((an ADMITTED fellow SDS terrorist)) and I spoke with both of them from a studio in their hometown of Chicago. In a wide-ranging conversation, we discussed the McCain campaign attacks, President-elect Obama, the Weather Underground, their plans for the future and much more. I began by asking Bill Ayers...

Thanks to President Barack Obama, the family of Sgt. Brian McDonnell of the San Francisco Police Department may finally get justice. The Weather Underground, led by Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, police believe, murdered McDonnell when they detonated a bomb at the city's Park Police station on February 16, 1970. So during the 2008 presidential campaign, when Obama was revealed as a disciple and associate of Ayers, the bomber's past was resurrected, and now, the San Francisco Officers Police Association and the group America's Survival are publicizing the case to bring Ayers and Dohrn to justice. Says a letter from...

When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined Minnesota freshman Rep. Keith Ellison for his recent swearing-in ceremony, the controversy over his taking the oath of office on the Quran overshadowed his earlier role in supporting a terrorist whose group tried to kill policemen and allegedly twice tried to murder Pelosi's fellow San Francisco lawmaker Sen. Diane Feinstein. On Feb.12, 2000, Ellison joined Bernadine Dohrn, one of the founders of the 1960s radical group the Weather Underground, and several other speakers at a fundraiser for recently arrested Kathleen Soliah, a.k.a. Sara Jane Olson. Kathleen Soliah, a.k.a. Sara Jane Olson Soliah – who...

How about that? No sooner than the voting was finally underway and Bill Ayers surfaces from the Hyde Park underground for...."spontaneous" simultaneous interviews with the Washington Post http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/11/04/bill_ayers_speaks.html and The New Yorker... http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/tny/2008/11/mr-ayerss-neighborhood.html no doubt part of the rehabilitation effort necessary to enable the Obama confidante http://globallabor.blogspot.com/2008/11/ayers-and-obama-in-regular-contact-says.html open access to the White House. As might be expected, Ayers attempted to minimize his connection with Obama despite the extensive record and despite the fact that Obama himself told the media that they were in touch as recently as early 2007. But the New Yorker notes something the Post glossed over: Ayers...

CHICAGO--Storylines collided on Tuesday at the elementary school in the Hyde Park community were Barack Obama votes, Before Obama came to the Beulah Shoesmith Elementary School two neighbors who figured heavily in his presidential campaign showed up to vote. Bill Ayers, the former Weather Underground terrorist now respected educator and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, another former Weather Underground member now running a legal clinic entered the Shoesmith gym shortly after polls opened at 7 a.m. Ayers and Dohrn left a few minutes before Obama accompanied by his wife, Michelle and daughters Sasha, 7 and Malia, 10 appeared in the...

I've added a link at the top of the latest posts pages to view "Selected Free Republic McCain vs Obama promo videos." We usually only run these kind of promos during our FReepathons, but I thought I'd continue these selected videos until the election is over. We're now receiving nearly 2,000,000 page views per day from 200,000 to 300,000 daily visitors. Half of these visits are from new visitors. I'd like to give them all an opportunity to see and hear the truth about The One, That One, The Marxist Obamessiah. Please bear with me. I'll take them down after...

I was watching Bill O'Reilly's "ambush" of the Ayers this morning. I gather the woman walking in front of him into their Chicago home is Bernadine Dohrn, a Weather Underground member and fugitive from justice. She worked with Michelle Obama at a law office. Why isn't anyone asking about this terrorist couple? Why is it just the guy terrorist? Why is this just ignored?

Clip starts at 8:00 minute mark (I strongly recommend FReepers watch the entire video!) Background on FBI Informant: "Larry Grathwohl became a member of the Weather Underground organization as an undercover operative for law enforcement agencies in Cincinnati. His role within the organization was to carry directives from the Central Committee to the operating units in the field." Here is the entire transcripe of "No Place to Hide", just in case Youtube pulls it: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/realityzone/noplacetohide.pdf (Click Link to Watch Video...starts at 8:00 minute mark)

Max Noel, former FBI worker, worked Weather Underground case, was an eye witness to William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn's destruction on society. William Ayers fingerprints were found in domestic terrorist apartment.

A great video with 1970’s news footage of these communist punk terrorists making their revolutionary plans known and bragging about their atrocities. Then it switches to some modern interviews and coverage of the ties between Obama and Ayers. At the end is an interview Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn gave to Connie Chung, where they repeat on camera that they wish they had done more damage.

The unsolved murder of two San Francisco police officers has languished as cold cases for 30 years until now. A federal grand jury has been looking into the murders. And now, sources tell us, those investigators have identified potential suspects: former members of two militant groups in the '60s and '70s -- the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army, people who've been out of the spotlight for decades. The most prominent among them is Bernadine Dohrn, a former leader of the Weather Underground and now a law professor at Northwestern University in Illinois. In the early '70s, some of...

On Anderson's Cooper 360 they did a major investigative look at the Ayers/Obama connection. They even interviewed Stanley Kurtz. Bottom line: Just a guy in my neighborhood? Served on one board together? CNN Says bulls**t! They worked closely with each other and worked together on TWO boards -- both Annenberg and the Woods Foundation. They also talked about Ayers little tea party to launch Obama and found Obama hadn't been entirely honest about "just stopping by..." It was an event they planned and hosted TOGETHER. Sarah Palin needs to come out tomorrow and ride this just like she did the...

Back in the early eighties, in an interview with David Horowitz and Peter Collier, Bill Ayers remembered his reaction upon learning that he would not be prosecuted by the government for his bombing spree as a member of the Weather Underground. “Guilty as hell, free as a bird—America is a great country,” he exulted. Ayers is now a university professor, but he must have been exulting all over again after reading Saturday’s front-page story in the New York Times. The article explored the putative relationship between Ayers and Barack Obama during the time they worked together on the Chicago Annenberg...

At a tumultuous meeting of anti-Vietnam War militants at the Chicago Coliseum in 1969, Bill Ayers helped found the radical Weathermen, launching a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and United States Capitol. Twenty-six years later, at a lunchtime meeting about school reform in a Chicago skyscraper, Obama met Mr. Ayers, by then an education professor. Their paths have crossed sporadically since then, at a coffee Ayers hosted for Obama’s first run for office, on the schools project and a charitable board, and in casual encounters as Hyde Park neighbors. Their relationship has become a touchstone for Obama’s...

In 1995 former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn helped launch Barack Obama's political career at a small function in their Chicago home. Bill Ayres also hired Obama to head the Annanberg Challenge, a $50 million fund which enabled Obama to fund organisations which could enhance his political career. Later Ayres worked with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund, together doling out millions to leftist causes. Obama has consistently tried to minimise his relationship with Ayres and Dohrn. The couple themselves, seem intent on maintaining a low profile-until at least after the election. Both parties realise...

Do Democratic presidential campaign committees think we are all stupid or do they suffer from some sort of group delusion? In 2004 they tried to peddle a man who made claims about his military career that were easily proven to be lies (Christmas in Cambodia, outrageous charges about war crimes by his fellow soldiers) as a war hero “reporting for duty.” This time around they are trying to take a man whose entire career has linked him with far-left anti-American characters, political agendas focused on redistribution of wealth, and racial spoils and pawn him off on us as a...

In my last post I referenced the Days of Rage - put on by the Weathermen AKA Weather Underground in Chicago, October, 1969. I was in Chicago a few days later with my 2 little kids to get visas to travel to Korea for a year with the US Army. This was not fun & games like Woodstock. It was scarey as hell. This is Barak Obama's buddy Ayer's group. His lovely wife Bernadine Dohrn was also a part of it. They were rich, white kids playing revolutionaries. Whether Barak was 8 or not back then, does not take away...

We can talk until we are blue in the face about how Obama really has terrorists as friends, but when you see the video, then you will believe.

Publisher Peter Osnos, who admits to personally working with former Bush White House press secretary Scott McClellan on his new book, What Happened, began his career as an assistant to I.F. Stone, the pro-communist "journalist" named as a Soviet agent of influence who was the uncle of Weather Underground communist terrorist Kathy Boudin. But the connections don't end there. Boudin's son Chesa was raised by Barack Obama associates Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who were Boudin's comrades in the communist terrorist group, after Kathy Boudin went to prison for her involvement in an armed robbery and assault that took the...

Michael Kinsley thinks that Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn are not really such a big deal except to the extent they inadvertently helped Republicans: Ayers and Dohrn never posed any real threat to U.S. national security. Their asinine chatter about killing people and their anti-American sloganeering were as ineffective as their bombs. But they did real harm. Their victims were liberals: the millions of people who were part of the mainstream antiwar movement and who later voted against Ronald Reagan...perhaps you can imagine how infuriating it was to the organizers of the big marches on Washington--struggling to keep them peaceful--that...

Greta van Susteren interviewed John Murtaugh on Fox last night to discuss the 1970 attack on his family by the Weather Underground. Murtaugh wrote an op-ed piece last week reminding people that William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn didn’t just target military assets with their domestic terrorism. Murtaugh’s father, a judge presiding over the trial of 21 Black Panthers accused of a conspiracy to commit their own acts of terror, became the WU’s target as a strategy to force the state to release the defendants:

By LINDA CHAVEZ April 26, 2008 -- DESPITE Hillary Clinton's win in Pennsylvania Tuesday, there's almost no scenario in which she can win the Democratic nomination. Barack Obama is the almost-certain choice to become the nominee - but he'll face far more hurdles than he has overcome in Democratic primaries. Obama's record of accomplishment is slim. He served two terms in the Illinois legislature, where he did almost nothing to distinguish himself. He has spent nearly half his time as a US Senator running for president. What Obama does have is a sharp mind, a gift for inspiring rhetoric and...

Guy Benson is the young producer that dug up the 2007 tape of William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn speaking at an SDS reunion, adio of which debuted on the Sandy Rios Show which Guy produces, then on my show, Hannity & Colmes, Laura Ingraham. My column today provides the key links. The effort by Mr. Benson took some time and effort, but it is remarkable that not one reporter in all of MSM found it first.

Senator Obama is being asked, repeatedly, to explain his associations with people on the radical, far left - people like William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, leaders of the infamous Weathermen, bombers and killers of Americans. For those who have forgotten or weren’t born yet, here is a list of a few of their activities

Why is Barack Obama so comfortable around people who so despise America and its allies? Maybe it’s because they’re so comfortable around him. He presents as the transcendent agent of “change.” Sounds platitudinous, but it’s really quite strategically vaporous. Sen. Obama is loath to get into the details of how we should change, and, as the media’s Chosen One, he hasn’t had to. But he’s not, as some hopefully dismiss him, a charismatic lightweight with a gift for sparkling the same old vapid cant. Judging from the company he chooses to keep, Obama’s change would radically alter this country. He...

The Center for Public Intellectuals & The University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) April 19th-20th, 2002, Conference Participants include: William (Bill) Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Sen Barack Obama For a brief history lesson as to who these other two scum are, pls refer to my 'comment' below...

I'm reading "Hating Whitey" by David Horowitz. He talks about Beradine Dohrn who actually was a left wing "terrorist" leader who declared war on Amerikka and planted a bomb at the Capital in D.C. She was appointed by Clinton to the Justice Department Comission on Children----all this according to Horowitz. I googled her name and NOTHING. Does anyone know anything about her or where info about her can be found. Her husband is Billy Ayers also a militant leftist who is a professor of early chilhood education at Northwestern. I am appauled. Any info out there.

It may be too late to organize anything against this, but interested parties should know that former terrorists/leftist martyrs Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers will be attending the 7:15 showing of the documentary/propagandistic puff piece The Weather Underground Friday night at the Lagoon Cinema in Minneapolis. I found out about this by reading the following (nauseating) review in the U of M's newspaper: http://www.mndaily.com/articles/2003/09/18/6569 More details are at the Lagoon Cinema's website at http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Market/Minneapolis/LagoonCinema.htm
