  Ayers and his O-bomb-a

  Ayers was the leader of the 1960s and 70s domestic terrorist group Weatherman 

  Famous quote: “Kill all the rich people. ... Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents.”

  Participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972

  Currently a professor of education at the University of Illinois

  This progression of events alone should give a pause to any decent person but most of the posters here are so thoroughly victimized by leftso political mindfuck that they will see nothing wrong with it.

  Y'all (here's another folksy word for ya, enjoy) see nothing wrong with Obama not only being associated with Ayers but most likely being beholden to him, owing to the fact that Ayers helped Obama substantially at the beginning of his political career. You guys will play three monkeys with the facts, but viciously attack the messenger like a pack of hyenas, whipped psychotic from the howls of one another. That is what passes for "liberalism" nowadays it the West.



  The following are facts, lifted from the site that is linked to via my handle:



  Ayers and Dohrn, as Weatherman members were responsible for 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S.  "I don't regret setting bombs, said Ayers in 2001, "I feel we didn't do enough."



  He spent the 1970s as fugitives running from the FBI. In 1980 he surrendered, but all charges against them were dropped due to an “improper surveillance” technicality. (The fascist must have been asleep at the wheel)

  
In the mid-1990s, Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn hosted meetings at their Chicago home to introduce Barack Obama to their neighbors during his first run for the Illinois Senate.



  In 1995 Ayers founded a “school reform organization” called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). He appointed Obama as the group's first chairman.

  When good Mrs Ayers said: "Now we are everywhere. And next week, families and tribes will attack the enemy around the country. We're not just attacking targets. We're bringing a pitiful, helpless giant to it's knees. Guard your planes, guard your colleges, guard your banks, guard your children, guard your doors." - she meant people like you, don't you get it, idiots?

  She is a symptom of the same societal illness: a former terrorist, convicted felon, currently a law professor and a board member of the ACLU.

  You guys really see nothing wrong with it? Are y'all really so far gone that y'all think it is all right? You are ready to see Obama as your president despite the fact that for about 12 years he was closely associated with these people and he at least partially owes his political existence to them?
