First Person: Hey, I Don't Want to Be a Downer, But Barack Obama's Buddies Tried to Murder My Whole Family

Amazing article which absolutely demolishes Ayers', Obamas', and the media's attempt to minimize and abstract to the point of meaninglessness the nature of the Weathermen's terrorism.

This wasn't mere "radicalism" or idealistic teenage rebellion. They were blowing up buildings and murdering human beings.

Wish we could get this guy to speak at the Republican convention... and that McCain had the balls to put him on the speaker list.

During the April 16 debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, moderator George Stephanopoulos brought up “a gentleman named William Ayers,” who “was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s. They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol, and other buildings. He’s never apologized for that.” Stephanopoulos then asked Obama to explain his relationship with Ayers. Obama’s answer: “The notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was eight years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn’t make much sense, George.” Obama was indeed only eight in early 1970. I was only nine then, the year Ayers’s Weathermen tried to murder me.

...
Early on the morning of February 21, as my family slept, three gasoline-filled firebombs exploded at our home on the northern tip of Manhattan, two at the front door and the third tucked neatly under the gas tank of the family car. (Today, of course, we’d call that a car bomb.) A neighbor heard the first two blasts and, with the remains of a snowman I had built a few days earlier, managed to douse the flames beneath the car. That was an act whose courage I fully appreciated only as an adult, an act that doubtless saved multiple lives that night.
...
Though never a supporter of Obama, I admired him for a time for his ability to engage our imaginations, and especially for his ability to inspire the young once again to embrace the political system. Yet his myopia in the last few months has cast a new light on his “politics of change.” Nobody should hold the junior senator from Illinois responsible for his friends’ and supporters’ violent terrorist acts. But it is fair to hold him responsible for a startling lack of judgment in his choice of mentors, associates, and friends, and for showing a callous disregard for the lives they damaged and the hatred they have demonstrated for this country. It is fair, too, to ask what those choices say about Obama’s own beliefs, his philosophy, and the direction he would take our nation.
At the conclusion of his 2001 Times interview, Ayers said of his upbringing and subsequent radicalization: “I was a child of privilege and I woke up to a world on fire.”
Funny thing, Bill: one night, so did I.

1 Agreed. Dear John McCain: PLEASE let this man speak on Monday night!

2 What a racist, racist article. Doesn't he realize this all happened before Obama was born and thus is not important at all in judging friendships at any point?? And this guy survived, right? See, everything worked out fine... I dare say b/c Obama's HopeAndChange actually transcends time and protected people from being further political liabilities to his campaign.

5 Seriously.... Imagine if McCain had any association at all with, say, a repentant abortion clinic bomber.

The MSM be going on and on.....

6 I read this yesterday, and found it very compelling. (Enough so that it should be vetted carefully, by the way!)

I consider myself pretty "anti terrorist", but I must admit I (apparently) was influenced by the "long time ago" defense.

Reading the experiences of a child whose house was firebombed, you feel the anger boil up.

12 Pretty powerful particularly when juxtaposed with this moral relativism.

"Tom Hayden, an anti-war activist who met Ayers in the 1960s and later was elected to the California Legislature, says Ayers' past should be forgiven.

"I have met and like John McCain, but he bombed, and presumably killed, many people in a war I opposed," Hayden says. "If I can set all that aside, I would hope that Americans will accept" that Ayers has changed, too."

His dad was the judge in a major trial. The incident was reported in all the media and the radicals copped to it.

I should have mentioned, the reason Hillary didn't go after Obama on his Weathermen ties is she has her own.

16 Hey, I was 6 when the Manson family murdered Sharon Tate, but what would folks think of me if I buddied up to ol' Charlie, hmm?

Posted by: mpur at August 28, 2008 03:03 PM (tHFU4)

17 Well, Bill Clinton does anyway, JackStraw. Good observation. It's amazing when Chuck Schumer is the voice of decency and reason.

Posted by: William Ayers at August 28, 2008 03:04 PM (hawOV)

18 I wasn't even born when Ted Kennedy walked away from that girl in an air pocket to sober up while she asphyxiated over hours. What would you all think of me if I befriended a man like that?

Oh. Right.

Liberals being pro-abortion, Che, etc., would think it's just smashing. Only decent people would mind. Forget I asked.

William Ayers' connection with Obama is probably a strength in their awful minds.

19 That bitch Kathy Boudin got out, too, but that was the fault of the state parole board.

Well, Bill Clinton does anyway, JackStraw

Hey, they were co-presidents. Just taking them at their word.

BTW, he also pardoned Linda Evans, another mad bomber for the Weathermen who was convicted of planning to bomb, among other places, the US Capitol.

Posted by: JackStraw at August 28, 2008 03:12 PM (VBon8)

It is not so much the association that bothers me, it is the steadfastness with which the Obama handlers are trying to coverup any evidence of the association. It makes me wonder if it was much closer than is currently being reported. If they (Obama camp) weren't so tenacious is trying to suppress evidence and use legal means against those who are publicizing it, it makes me wonder if they are hiding something.

Posted by: Shirley at August 28, 2008 03:13 PM (mN3EM)

22 I agree, Shirley. I think it was and is closer than they are letting on.

Posted by: grc at August 28, 2008 03:30 PM (YleVG)

If they (Obama camp) weren't so tenacious is trying to suppress evidence and use legal means against those who are publicizing it, it makes me wonder if they are hiding something.

They are. But it's starting to leak out.

24 I hope to see an ad with B. Dorhn's comments about the Tate murders.

Posted by: Brad at August 28, 2008 03:45 PM (LZs5x)

25

I mean, why would anyone believe that a guy like Barack Obama would be linked to far left radicals.

That the media is purposely glossing over BARACK and his little band of leftist radicals is not surprising, as they are the same type of assholes who coronated Huey Newton and that bunch the Next Big Thing.

Tom Wolfe knows these assholes. Radical Chic is the reason for the glomming onto the bulging jockstrap of Barry by the fish that swim in the full septic tank of the left.

I can't believe the media has had such an impact on this, they are pushing and pushing this idiot with no regard for anything except white liberal guilt and star fucking.

26 mpur,

Yeah, Ayer's wife Dorhn praised Manson for sticking a fork in Sharon Tate's belly. She even invented a three-fingered fork salute. Obama was BFF and co-chair (i.e partners) with Ayers for years and years, yet he never got a creepy vibe off these sociopaths. Ayers now says his nail-bombs-for-the-troops were acts of "hope and love". Hopey McLovebomber.

Posted by: Noel at August 28, 2008 03:53 PM (4gHqM)

27 No, Dorhn praised the Manson killers for sticking a fork in the stomach of Leno LaBianca after brutally murdering him and his wife Rosemary:

"Watson then began stabbing Leno repeatedly, only stopping briefly when Leno screamed, "Stop stabbing me!" Rosemary, hearing her husband screaming, began screaming and flailing around the room, still blinded by the pillowcase on her head. Krenwinkel and Van Houten called Watson for help. Watson left the badly bleeding Leno in the living room, and entered the bedroom to find Rosemary swinging the lamp still attached to the chord used to gag her. Tex lunged forward and stabbed her until she fell to the floor. By the time the stabbing ended, Watson, Krenwinkel, and Van Houten had stabbed Rosemary 41 times.

Leno was still alive when Watson came back to the living room and the stabbing resumed. After Watson finished stabbing Leno, one of the family members carved the word "WAR" into Leno's stomach. Krenwinkel then stabbed him a number of times and left a carving fork protruding from his stomach, and a steak knife from his throat. The girls then wrote messages in Leno's blood. "Death to pigs" and "Rise" were written on the living room wall, and "Helter Skelter" was written on the refrigerator.

After the murders, the family members remained at the house. Some ate food from the LaBianca's refrigerator, played with the couple's dogs and showered before hitchhiking back to the Spahn Ranch."

28 What did Ayers do?

He tried to murder people.

Posted by: OregonMuse at August 28, 2008 04:29 PM (FO+YO)

29 #26...yeah, kinda my point

Posted by: mpur at August 28, 2008 04:43 PM (tHFU4)

30 That reminds of how we sometimes forget the victims, who were real flesh-and-blood people. For example, Brian V. McDonnell and Robert Fogarty. Ring a bell? No, of course not.

They were San Francisco cops. Officer McDonell was killed and Officer Fogarty blinded. By Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.

Ayers and Dohrn were rewarded by academia for their terrorism, given cushy jobs allowing them acess to other peoples children, put on prestigious boards and allowed to hob-nob with the movers and shakers. While McDonell and Fogarty are forgotten.

Kinda' funny for a party that celebrates victims all day long, huh?

Posted by: Noel at August 28, 2008 05:15 PM (4gHqM)

31 ps; thanks, gre; I stand corrected.

As Obama says, 'It was a long time ago and I was just a kid.'

Posted by: Noel at August 28, 2008 05:19 PM (4gHqM)

32 ...excellent....

Posted by: Montgomery Burns at August 28, 2008 08:50 PM (vlmzk)

33 Damn that was well written and powerful. Great stuff, I hope it gets sent around a lot.

"If I can set all that aside, I would hope that Americans will accept" that Ayers has changed, too."

Even setting aside the moral relativism and stupidity of someone not comprehending war, Ayers hasn't changed.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at August 28, 2008 11:38 PM (0+Ggj)

34 Did Ayers firebomb this guy's house? Or did he plan it? Did he get prosecuted?

Thanx

Posted by: Floridian at August 29, 2008 12:18 AM (wtLBl)

35
What makes this a problem for His Obamaness is that he has always lied about his relationship with Ayers. If he had been smart he would've don't the pretend-openness thing "Education was an important issue to me and in Chicago at that time Bill Ayers was very deeply involved in the community and university .... and some more bullshit."

Instead he's been caught lying about associating with a terrorist hippy. In a better world that would be an automatic disqualification from being able to own property or stay in a town more than one night.
