The Obama Files: Radical Associations, Bill Ayers

Bill Ayers is another name many Americans have heard by now. He is a former terrorist who detonated bombs at federal buildings and plotted to blow up an army dance at Ft. Dix, New Jersey. He remains proud of his actions (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F02E1DE1438F932A2575AC0A9679C8B­63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all), and only regrets not having bombed more. Obama has been personal and professional friends with Ayers for more than a dozen years. When confronted with this association, Obama has said Ayers is (a) just a guy in his neighborhood, (b) a local professor, and (c) someone with whom he’d served on a charitable board. These are all true statements, but they obfuscate a much deeper relationship about which Obama is not being honest (http://townhall.com/Columnists/GuyBenson/2008/04/24/debunking_obamas_ayers_fact­_sheet). In fact, the two served together on two boards—The Woods Fund and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, where together they funneled huge sums of money to a who’s-who leftwing causes. Obama’s 1995 political coming-out party took place in the home of Ayers and his wife, a fellow unrepentant terrorist. Obama now denies this, but it’s a matter of record, confirmed by individuals who attended the party. Investigative journalist and Ethics and Public Policy Center Fellow, Stanley Kurtz, has written many thorough and indispensable (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122212856075765367.html) articles (http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZWI0MjY3NzMyODgxZGM2ZjUwNTE1MmEzOGRiZm­FkNWE=) on Obama’s substantial ties to Ayers.

First, CNN looks into Bill Ayers and the Obama connection. The report concludes that “the relationship between Obama and Ayers went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama says.” It also confirms the 1995 political party Ayers hosted for Obama.

Second, Obama repeatedly states that Ayers’ violence took place 40 years ago when he was just eight years old. This is true, and it’s irrelevant. Would you shake hands with, let alone work comfortably with, someone who bombed the US Capitol and Pentagon, and remains proud that he did so? It is implausible that Obama didn’t know about Ayers’ sordid past, just as it’s implausible that he was unaware that Ayers’ hatred of this country continues to fester to this day. The following video features a 1998 ABC News interview with Ayers and his wife that showcases their continued defiance. It also portrays Ayers at a 1960s radical reunion just last year during which he describes the United States as he sees it today. Why did Obama feel comfortable around these people, and is it any wonder that he’s been less than forthcoming about their relationship?

Racist. Distraction. Smear. I'm sure there are other BS words used by Obama followers to avoid and dodge this issue until election day but I'd like to hope enough Americans are wise enough not to elect someone who got his political start in the living room of an unrepentant terrorist. Just what did Obama see in Ayers and what did Ayers see in Obama for them to work so closely together? Character, judgment and common sense surely must be something Americans consider when voting.. I hope.

the only reason he is not in jail is because bill clinton forgave him

[williamsobieski86]

yep...your point is proven where our "President" has bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.

Ha ha ha your scare tactic didn't work. Congratulations to President Obama.

If a Republican were friends with an SS agent and he said that "Hell I wasn't even born when he gassed Jews and killed Russians." It wouldn't even fly for a second.

[williamsobieski86]

Forget about jail. He ought to be tried and executed for treason.

[williamsobieski86]

Notice they refer to it as a "anti-Vietnam war group." Not a "terrorist group" not a "communist anti-American group." This was another attempt by the Mainstream Media to wash over Obama's communism.

America is now an ISLAMIC STATE!!!!

You ignorant people need to dig a little deeper than YOUTUBE videos to find out who to vote for. Missing facts, distorted coverage, spliced video....aahhh ignorance is bliss!

[Flap999]

Lie down with dogs...wake up with fleas. Socialism is in direct opposition to the basic ideas this nation was built upon. I will vote against Obama. 144 days of trying to decide to run for President is not nearly enough experience. The list goes on as to why this man is a ridiculous choice but I have listed more than enough reasons so far.Keep reminding people...I know I will.
