A San Francisco police union has accused former domestic terrorist William Ayers, co-founder of the Weather Underground, and his wife in a 1970 bombing that killed one sergeant, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The union, in a letter to a conservative organization lobbying for arrests in the case, accused Ayers and wife Bernardine Dohrn of bombing a city police station. On Feb. 16, 1970, a bomb placed on a window ledge of Park Station killed Sgt. Brian McDonnell and injured eight other officers, the Chronicle reported. The union said it had not been in contact with investigators nor did it...

EXCERPT: More bad news for unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and his equally-unrepentant wife Bernadette Dorhn. Larry Grathwohl was an FBI informant who infiltrated Ayer’s Weather Underground terrorist group in the 1970s. He’s holding a press conference in San Francisco today to talk about things Ayers and Dohrn would rather keep buried in the past. Here’s part of Grathwohl’s pre-released opening statement: “The San Francisco Police Department Park Station bombing occurred on February 16, 1970, when a pipe bomb filled with shrapnel detonated on the ledge of a window at the San Francisco Police Department’s Golden Gate Park station. According to...

Dear Illinois,   Thanks for Paying me to talk to your kids.   Love, Bill Ayres,   writer, teacher, terrorist Illinois you have the honor of seeing your tax dollars go to pay terrorist William Ayers to "lecture" students at the University of Illinois. Not only will he be "lecturing" your students for a week at the Urbana campus, but your tax dollars at work will afford him free room and board at Allen Hall, as well. Isn't it heart warming that this killer and hater of America is being paid state dollars to help teach your college kids? Doesn't...

An attorney is threatening legal action if the University of Colorado doesn't waive a $3,000 fee for student groups hosting an appearance by former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers and fired CU professor Ward Churchill. CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard said it's standard to charge student groups fees to recoup security costs for large events. He said the $3,000 charge is toward the lower end of what the school charges.

During the presidential campaign, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin highlighted Barack Obama's connection to former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers – charging that the candidate was "palling around with terrorists." Now Ayers wants to bury the hatchet with a joint talk show. "Pallin' Around with Sarah and Bill," is the name Ayers has come up with, according to a report by CNN. Though Ayers sent her a note after the election touting the virtues of such a show, he concedes, "I haven't heard back." The revelation will be featured in the next New York Times magazine. Not surprisingly, Ayers was not...

It's not quite clear what Barack Obama's terrorist pal has against Robert Byrd, but one thing is certain: The New York Times can't get enough of this crackpot. First there was his impeccably timed September 11, 2001 column where he said he didn't regret being a terrorist. Then the Times so graciously gave him op-ed space again this past December where he played the victim for being called a terrorist. Now he'll be getting the full NY Times Magazine treatment this Sunday. Who said crime doesn't pay? Sarah Palin once accused Barack Obama of “palling around with terrorists,” a catchphrase...

"[T]he answer I gave the young radicals seemed to me the only realistic one: 'Do one of three things. One, go find a wailing wall and feel sorry for yourselves. Two, go psycho and start bombing—but this will only swing people to the right. Three, learn a lesson. Go home., organize, build power and at the next convention, you be the delegates.'" - William Ayers, Rules For Radicals. I can't believe I'm quoting the man whose ideas about what the United States of America should be are as diametrically opposed to my own as it is possible to be. Here's...

Looking for something to watch other than the inauguration? Here is a new YouTube video from 1970 about the Weather Underground. Actually, it is my video. Recently I became annoyed when William Ayers started blogging for the Huffington Post. Later I read a comment on a conservative web site from a troll who said William Ayers was no more controversial than say G. Gordon Liddy or Oliver North. So, I thought it was time for a trip down memory lane because I don't want this guy to be considered mainstream. I've got another video that I will upload later but...

Bill Ayers, a Chicago resident and one of the founders of the Weather Underground, was turned back at the Canadian border Sunday night.

Evidence continues to mount that Barack Obama had substantial help from Bill Ayers in the creation of his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, a book that Time Magazine has called "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." The evidence falls into five general categories, here summarized. * The discovery of new matching nautical metaphors from both Ayers and Obama that almost assuredly came from the same source: Ayers, a former merchant seaman. * The discovery of a Bill Ayers' essay on memoir writing, whose postmodern themes and phrases are echoed throughout Dreams. * A newly discovered book...

“I picture the street coming alive, awakening from the fury of winter, stirred from the chilly spring night by cold glimmers of sunlight angling through the city.” Bill Ayers, Fugitive Days. “Night now fell in midafternoon, especially when the snowstorms rolled in, boundless prairie storms that set the sky close to the ground, the city lights reflected against the clouds.” Barack Obama, Dreams From My Father. Prior to 1990, when Barack Obama contracted to write Dreams From My Father, he had written very close to nothing. As an undergraduate, Obama had written what he justifiably calls some “very bad poetry.”...

By Katie O'MalleyThe College of DuPage (COD) in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, has announced the February speaker for their Living Leadership Program. Based on the desired goals of the series, COD students, parents and the taxpayers of DuPage County should have much to be excited about. The program, according to their website, is based on the following philosophies: “Leadership is a skill, therefore anyone can learn it, practice it, and become better at it. Leadership is not tied to position, title or authority. Leaders use 1) Conscious Decision-Making 2) Active Participation, and 3) Understanding of Multiple Perspectives to impact their...

I predicted it days after it happened: That the beloved and woefully incompetent terrorist Bill Ayers would join his fellow travelers at the Huffington Post blog. And so, this week, he's written some hilarious nonsense about education, using a kind of mental terrorism meant to blow your mind, but instead only blows. But what a great idea for the frustrated bomber inside all of us! I mean, let's say you're in a hurry and you need some nutty Marxist rhetoric to impress a co-ed from Brown, as well as advice on how to make a bomb! Wouldn't it be great...

All in all, I like Politico's list of the top ten media blunders of 2008, by staff writer Michael Calderone, appearing on the website this evening. How can you not like a list that includes, among other faux pas: * MSNBC's use of Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as election night and convention co-anchors; * The New York Times's suggestive but unsubstantiated story about John McCain and lobbyist Vikki Iseman; and * The MSM's lack of curiosity despite the National Enquirer's solid reporting on the John Edwards affair? But no story about a list would be complete without some beefing...

It couldn't have been easy for Bill Ayers to keep quiet while the McCain campaign tarred him as the Obama's best friend, the terrorist. Unfortunately, the silence was too good to last. On Saturday's New York Times op-ed page, he announced that "it's finally time to tell my true story." Like his memoir, Fugitive Days , "The Real Bill Ayers" is a sentimentalized, self-justifying whitewash of his role in the weirdo violent fringe of the 1960s-70s antiwar left. "I never killed or injured anyone, "Ayers writes. "In 1970, I co-founded the Weather Underground, an organization that was created after an...

I wanted to post this all day but life got in the way. I know others have posted on this topic, but hopefully this will include new info that the other posts do not: The New York Times allowed G-d knows how many innocent trees to die so that it could publish a self-serving, deeply disingenuous op-ed by terrorist-cum-educator William Ayers – who actually expects us to feel sorry for his being pilloried during the presidential campaign. ... Let’s deconstruct “the facts” that Ayers and The Times present.

This graphic has been around for a while but Bill Ayers chose to post it on his website today. Is Bill Ayers thankful that he's "Guilty as Hell, Free as a Bird..."

William Ayers reminisces about the 1960s and the Students for a Democratic Society. During his speech he talks about the "spirit of insurgency" and how the world was in flames. The term insurgency is typically used by terrorists as they try to shield themselves from the murder and violence that they promote. Ayers also talks about the world in flames but omits the part that he participated in making those flames through his organization's terroristic actions. In the second video he talks about having a "moral vision", another tactic used by terrorists to try and excuse their behavior by claiming...
