When This Man Was 9 Years Old, Ayers Bombed His Home
By Uppity Woman on May 2, 2008 at 11:46 AM in Barack Obama, Bernardine Dohrn, Weather Underground, William Ayers
Barack Obama reminds everyone that he was only 8 years old when his friends, domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, bombed their way through America. (However, Larry Johnson has proved that not only did Ayers support and promote Obama’s campaigns from his first in 1995, but that Obama worked for Ayers for eight years. See: Larry Johnson’s “Why is Obama Hiding the Truth About William Ayers? Follow the Money” and SusanUnPC’s “The Game of Expedience.”)
Well, John Murtagh was a bit put out by that remark because he was 9 years old when the Weather Underground tried to kill him and his family on February 21, 1970. Mr Murtagh wrote an April 30,2008 op-ed for the NY Daily News entitled, Barack Obama’s Pal Is An Enemy Too. [BELOW IS VIDEO/AUDIO of Murtagh’s interview.]
Murtagh’s father was a judge hearing a case against the Panthers21, a group of Black Panthers who were being tried for planning the bombing of several landmarks and department stores in New York .
According to Murtagh, those two upstanding citizens from William Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn — from New York Weather Underground Cell — detonated three gasoline bombs at his home. They placed one bomb at the front door, another bomb on the front porch and they “lit” and “tucked” the third bomb underneath the family car behind the house.
The family heard an explosion but his father was afraid to leave the house because of a previous incident where scum balls opened fire on people fleeing their home under these circumstances. So they were essentially trapped in a burning house until neighbors told them it was safe to leave.
Bernardine Dohrn ultimately took credit for the incident. Considering her *ecstatic remarks about the manson murders and the fork they stuck in Tate’s stomach as well as her Lay Elrod Lay song dedicated to the man the Underground paralyzed, I imagine Bernardine took that credit gleefully.
In the Fox Gibson radio interview below, Mr Murtagh weighs in on what he knows about Ayers and Dohrn, their longstanding connection to Barack Obama and how that relationship is closer and far less casual than Barack and Michelle Obama care to admit. The entire audio is worth listening to just to understand the interconnect. For starters, Bernardine and Michelle worked for the same firm together.
*“Dorhn incited the assembled radicals to join the war against “Amerikkka” and create chaos and destruction in the “belly of the beast.” Her voice rising to a fevered pitch, Dohrn raised three fingers in a “fork salute” to mass murderer Charles Manson whom she proposed as a symbol to her troops. Referring to the helpless victims of the Manson Family as the “Tate Eight” (the most famous was actress Sharon Tate) Dohrn shouted:
*Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!”
I hope everyone takes the time to listen to this. If you ever had any doubt what a scumbag Ayers and Dorhn were, this will erase them all. How does Obama expect us to believe he wasn’t friends with these terrorists?!
The same way he expected us to believe he didn’t know Rezko.
Hey everybody, This piece of Uppity’s is now posted at MYDD, with a link to NQ so that more people can read and hear the radio interview.
PLEASE GO THERE AND RECOMMEND IT.

I’m sorry, but ANYONE who advocates violence and hate automatically loses any right to call themselves a liberal or progressive. Who would the Dalai Lama bomb, or Ghandi or Martin Luther King or Bishop Tutu?
What a couple of sick bastards. What is wrong with the educational system that they have these two sicko teaching. They should have been tried for treason and still be in jail.
For all those fools who think these two are ok, they would kill you in a ny minute.
A good candidate running for president, who really gave a damn about this country would not have them for friends and mentors.
What horrendous people!
Something I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere is where the Weathermen went when they went Underground. And why did they decide it was safe to come above ground?
Is it possible that they created sleeper cells while they were underground? Is that the reason why they are unrepentant even to this day?
I do not believe that these folks just quietly went away without setting something up for future use. Maybe I am just paranoid. Naaaahhhh!
I am always suspicious of these terrorists who commit violent acts are involved in anti war movements or peace movements. Especially when we know they were never prosecuted because evidence was corrupted. I think they may well have been paid right wing provacateurs. I still believe Obama is a right wing dupe or tool. Don’t know which. His views and his advisers and backers and supporters are not democratic. He supported Bush’s tort reform, his advisers are in favor of pritizing Social Security. His foreign policy adviser, Brzezinski is a war monger who, by pretending to be opposed to the Iraq War…belatedly…has had his fingers in many a dirty pie. He hates Russia and will do anything to instigate a confrontation with them.
The one thing all those groups have in common is there are all dumb, selfish thugs, bent on grandiose notions of unlimited power.
All that made up violence must make them finally feel important, just like they are in there fantasies.
Kind of like the worst of Hollywood, what was the old joke it’s full of people who parents didn’t love them, that’s why they end up there?
Same is true of those stupid, Cheney like violent thugs, whether Dohrn, or Timothy McVeigh, John Yoo, or David Addington advocating torture.
I mean, to me, I think of someone like Cheney, and I would say there are people in the Pentagon who can tell him how to better handle Iraq, and he says no, because he has to bomb, to fulfill some notion of strength or power the mindless use of violence gives him.
And that aint America.
Apparently, having a “being there” day today.
They, and their, sorry.
or people like Dohrn, or McVeigh, not to insinuate they are connected to Cheney in any way…
Black-Issues Group: Price To Pay If Clinton Wins Through Superdelegates(this is wrong)

One of the nation’s largest Black American grassroots advocacy organizations is drawing a line in the sand for Democratic leadership: if Hillary Clinton is awarded the nomination by overturning the pledged delegate count there will be a political price to pay.
Color of Change, which has a reach of more than 400,000 people, is organizing a petition campaign to persuade superdelegates and congressional leaders that a Clinton win through the hands of party insiders would “disenfranchise millions” and constitute “a shocking attack on voting rights and democracy.”

Why can’t white working class forum a group and do the same thing? obama and his supporters think the nomination belong to
Let them go ahead and assume that Barky can win an election with Black votes, radical votes and college kids. Just like McGovern though.
The fact is, a much larger consituency is about to give the Democrats the bird.
Terrific Find Uppity.
I have lots more for you -I prefer research as I find that digging deep gets the full story and all attendant connections. I’d be a lousy reporter, because then things come out in dribs and drabs.
Cannot give away more now - but Uppity, please email - and I will send you some info tomorrow.

now i am really pissed
Assuming this is true, I guess this “largest Black American grassroots advocacy organization” does not mind nominating a racist: Barack Obama. How ironic.
They can threaten all they want, the Obama campaign has already threated riots, so we are used to being threatened and threats at this late in the game with the Obama track record are crying wolf.
Besides, does this “largest Black American grassroots advocacy organization” want a president McCain, or does the trophy of the “first black American president” even though he will lose matter more? Stupid people running that organization.
If I was a member of this organization I would resign and demand a refund of my dues. I think that’s actually a good idea! I would think the members of this group would rather have a winning Democrat in the Whitehouse (Hillary) than the Republican McCain.
Besides, Obama is only “black” when it suits him. We all know he is a nefarious chameleon not to be trusted. The trolls are always accusing us of helping McCain, but they really do need to look in a mirror.
Obama started this huge disaster by interjecting race when he was about to get his butt kicked by Hillary. He can only blame himself now for this disaster we are now in. If Obama was a uniter and cared about America, we would not be in this mess. But Obama only cares about Obama.
if racism is so prevalent how come jackson sr didn’t harp on it when racism was much worse? how come rangel and the former lady senator run in 2004 without this bull? the answer is obama injected it for his own purposes.
It’s not….thats what make this so repugnant….It is a cynical political tool used to devide and conquer at was part of Clinton’s base…It is also a technique used to unite a group. Demonize the opponent using accusations of ideological crimes against the target group. Hitler used this to great effect as a fundamental tenet of FASCISM.
Don’t worry about it - NQ will have something much more freightening for the SD’s by the end of next week.
Then ALL OF US can send that to them.
Is this a self-fulfilling type prophecy wish or a reference to something concrete?
I think we should be drawing a line in the sand for Florida and Michigan.
Ridiculous. Neither of them can win without superdelegates. And Florida and Michigan aren’t finished with any of them yet, especially not with Obama who blocked their revotes. And please, Obamazoids, don’t make me have to post all those links to prove it again. Go read the rest of the board or get lost.
Wow, uppity, great post. The radio interview is excellent and I hope many people hear it.
In today’s WSJ online, Elizabeth Wurtzel writes a ding-dong piece about Ayers, Dohrn and Obama (apparently Dorhn was her teen idol) but nonetheless, she confirms the Obama’s and Dohrn’s decades long relationship:
It ends with a big gulp of kool aid, but here’s the link:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120968398096261113.html?mod=opinion_main_commentaries
…shaking my head here…
Me, too.
Wow.
Hmmm.. “Northwestern University” isn’t that the same school that just revoked WRight’s honorary degree yesterday? Weird how the Obama tentacles reach everywhere…
i duly note that all of the other places and honorary applause the good reverend is getting with retirement haven’t been pulled. he was just in texas for such a degree. i wrote the school asking them not to do it. of course they didn’t even reply to me. so only one has withdrawn. ain’t that just interesting?
I was 9 years old, at the time, as well, and remember all these despicable acts. I had a sense of moral outrage then (at their acts of destruction, with intent to harm), which hasn’t dissipated. Hearing this man’s account of the bombing of their home, imagining his family’s terror, reading about Bernadine Dorhm’s sadistic glee, only heightens my lingering outrage.
This underscores, once again, that Obama has neither the strength, the judgement nor the common sense to be president. Another fatal flaw? His decision to cleave to the Church of Rev. Wright and Black Liberation Theology means he doesn’t “appear” (an important distinction) to represent all Americans, only some.
Great post Uppity….The radio interview was especially compelling. I was 9 years old too and I remember this stuff too because lots of folks were scared…..There was such confusion between Anarchists, Black Separtists, Marxists, Student Protesters, Anti War Demonstators, Womens Libbers, Latino Rights, Gay Pride, it was like a vortex that played itself until spent.
I remember The Weather Underground very well…..I remember it seemed like there were links in the news as Terrorism became international……
It seemed that you never knew when a ligitimate protest might be turned into a riot…..Or when the ( PIGS ) which I took to mean the establishment were going to over-react just to keep the peace or because they were provoked. Who on Earth would want to return to those turbulent times !
Although much progress was made in the cause of civil rights for all….
RADICALISM has never been the answer. These folks are an insult to the memory of all folks who who practice legitmate forms of civil dis-obedience and protest for a REAL cause.
Flat justitia ruat coelum !
( Let Justice be done through the heavens fall….)
Bernardine Dohrn ultimately took credit for the incident.
Where and when, please, link if possible.
This is important, inasmuch as the entire piece rests on it, and this is a glaring omission in a piece not shy about linkage.
It is not a link omission at all. It is specifically mentioned by Murtagh on the audio. Since it was his family they tried to kill, I kind of think it’s safe to say he has no problem remembering this. You also have to understand that Dohrn was a supreme leader of this movement and she herself issued the Declaration of War upon the government. She often “took credit” for things they did just so everybody knew it was the Underground that was involved. It is pretty safe to say that nothing any of the Underground cells did occurred without her and Bill’s knowledge. This was not a particularly huge group of people. I could probably take the time to find more than one Dohrn link to this incident on Google - and so could you.
Which is to say that you have absolutely no documentation whatsoever for your claim that Bernadine Dohrn has claimed responsibilty for this. Isn’t that right?
Well, I’m not sure about Uppity Chris, but given Obaam’s tenuous position, it’s always a good idea to open even more doors into the terrorist suspects he surronds himself with, esp as he’s running for President.
Brilliant thinking, Chris, really, given the feds all around.
Really original, and proactive, on your part.
I’m impressed.
Chris,
Try looking under Weatherman crimes for a start.
Are all trolls so lazy, or is google too hard for them to figure out?
Trolls are lazy dumb asses.
Just like their leader.
Trolls — do some research before jumping in and demanding answers. Otherwise just shut the f*** up.
If Trolls knew how to debate or were the least bit intelligent they would have googled for the details and then posted the opposing views or facts.
But the facts as presented in the lead thread are correct. It was a small group of anarchists lead by a really rich kid who was bailed out by his rich daddy.
At lot of the members though Mao was the greatest philosopher.
The extreme left and the extreme right meet in the middle — and use similar tactics. The “government” is evil — the government must be destroyed — according to both the left and the right.
Green (rich=color of money) is the common denominator of Ayers, Obama, GW Bush and the people who are backing these dopes.
Most of America isn’t Green (rich) — we are the coins — the stuff left over that the Greens discard.
I do remember when they would be in the media…..A mixture of self righteous arrogance and rage…..These folks loved the attention….
If they took credit for anything desructive it would not surprise me….
and the only media that says anything about these domestic terrorist is foxnews and especiaaly sean hannity. how could anyone in their right mind vote for obama knowing his freindship with these two. and what does it say about the super-delegates and even the dnc ? its so disgusting, it makes me violently ill. there seems to be something so sinister running through the nomination of obama. what the hell is going on…?????
They are saving it for the basting of Obama during the McCain roasting. We haven’t even heard about Rashid Khalidi and Zbigniew Brezinski from the MSM yet. But it’s coming. Later.
Brezinski’s daughter “Mika” has been imbedded with MSNBC. She started just about the time this ridiculously long primary season began.
Incidentally Murtagh is a Yonkers Councilman.

Hey uppity, can I post this piece on MyDD with links to read it here at NQ? That would be great since the MyDD children continue to cite the slim connection between Obama and Ayers/Dohrn.
Sure Mary Jo, you are welcome to anything I have…any time.
slim connection?
They’re heavily connected.
Did Ayers & Dorhn really host a political event for Obama in there house? Were any funds raised at the event?
Yes.. you can google for it. It’s readily available. They hosted a meet n’ greet at their home for him in the 90s. (meet n’ greet is politico for small fundraiser)
(shaking my head) I wonder if the reason why this stuff is ignored is that it just seems impossible. He doesn’t take campaign contributions from oil companies. But he has taken them from domestic terrorists? That isn’t really true?
He takes $ from oil companies. It’s “bundled” money.
he went to them for help with his campaign. that doesn’t sound like barely friends to me.
Now, now uppity, yer talkin bout the precious there! SO WHAT if he likes to hang out with and work for terrorists who want to kill Americans, hell, still DOES by his I didn’t plant ENOUGH bombs comment. Why oh why must you dig up the past. The public is tired of this and wants to move on to issues of substance..OOPS, no that is about Tony Rezko…OOPS, no that is about Rev NawNawNaw Wright…OOPS no that is about bitter, gun lovin, bible thunpin white racists…OOPS…well, you get my drift no?
Your sources: FrontPage Magazine, NY Daily News, Fox News. It’s no secret that these are all rabidly right-wing publications with little credibility, and each piece cited is not news reporting per se, but editorial commentary.
Out of curiosity [laughing], what exactly the hell does it take to set off your bullshit alarm? My guess is a two-by-four upside the head wouldn’t do it, but still, I’d be interested to know.
Hey Chris, use the little mousey thing to scroll up to my post above with a link to the WSJ piece where another brain damaged kool aid drinker confirms the piece. But I guess that you’d only believe it if Move On. ORCS covered it.
BTW, SUSAN AND LARRY, I find it very offensive that Chris Vosburg uses violent imagery to disagree with uppity (SEE ABOVE).
This should not be allowed, as it works to intimidate people.
I’m not intimidated in the least by the little shit.
uppity, I know you’re not and neither am I but I’m sick and tired of hearing Obama’s minions use violent metaphors and images in relationship to Hillary and her supporters.
Did you hear that shithead Joe Klein say on Campbell Brown’s Election Center at CNN that “Only an Improvised Explosive Device will take out Senator Clinton?”
WTF are these people? GRRRR
We already know what they are. That is why Barack Obama will never be President.
The little shit is shaking in his shoes, and can’t write for shit.
Like the other trolls.
Again, even as a part of strategy, how could any troll be so ignorant of former US strategy, cold war strategy, say, and not understand HOW they were being gamed.
Because they don’t understand the cold war, much less any modern, current day applications.
BTW, SUSAN AND LARRY, I find it very offensive that Chris Vosburg uses violent imagery to disagree with uppity (SEE ABOVE).
Imagery? [shaking head] That’s rich, coming from someone using as handle the name of a woman who died a drowning death after a ride with Teddy Kennedy.
My violence, such as it is, is entirely verbal– and how– as both Larry and Susan will attest to, having long experience with it, up until recently in their support.
As one of the few using a true name here, I point out that I’m far more vulnerable than any of you, and given the fact that I’ve said I live in Hollywood and work for “the industry” I’m an incredibly easy target for knuckleheads with axes to grind.
And as Uppity points out, I don’t scare nobody.
So what is the real reason for your wish that my comments be deleted?
Right, why’d I ask.
That’s “anybody”.
BTW, given your reasoning, (never mind your politics), I would never hire you, your reasoning is shit.
You remind me of a screechy stupid girl, without the dignity.
And I mean, never mind your politics, you can support whomever you want, but you better be able to support your arguments, tactics, and game, intelligently.
You failed.
I thought Chris was a boy — you know the voice changing age?
Axlerod hired all the Freepers who have way too much time. Notice we don’t hear much from the Freepers — because they are now hired Trolls working for Precious.
Mary Jo writes: Hey Chris, use the little mousey thing to scroll up to my post above with a link to the WSJ piece
Yes, I did. [deep breath] It’s no secret that these are all rabidly right-wing publications with little credibility, and each piece cited is not news reporting per se, but editorial commentary.
The bombing of Judge Murtagh’s home can be found in scores of links on the web. You can go ahead and find sources that suit your needs. You won’t find it at Daily Kos though. All you need to do is the work. Exactly what does it take to set off YOUR bullshit alarm? This was not a ficticious incident. Perhaps if it had been your house instead, you might have taken it more seriously.
I didn’t need to read a book about Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. I was around when these two scum balls wrecked havoc in America. If anything, I find it astounding that these two people are allowed access to America’s youth in a teaching environment.
….And people like you are why adults don’t let children and radicals pick presidents.
Ditto — this is history that I lived. There were terrorist.
But as long as daddy has the $$$$$$ his shithead son can do as he pleases. It creeps me out that Ayers is associated with Education — and that future teachers probably have to take a “required” class from him in order to get his degree.
Professors have a very powerful position — thankfully I had some excellent ones. That’s where I learned that the left and right political extremes meet in the middle.
But then my generation learned that research is our friend — verify and research BEFORE you support the latest fad in leaders. Therefore I research Obama — and what I learned told me he should NEVER be President.
Then I did a personality profile on him — HELL NO Obama should NEVER be President.
Uppity writes: The bombing of Judge Murtagh’s home can be found in scores of links on the web. You can go ahead and find sources that suit your needs.
Don’t be such a dope, Uppity, no one is claiming that the bombing did not occur.
What I am saying is that there is no evidence to support your contention– and that of John Murtaugh– that this is the work of the Weather Underground.
Again, enter data now. Murtaugh says that Bernadine Dohrn has claimed responsibility for it “several times.” Where, and when? Name just one instance. Data, Truth, Fact.
If you look at it with an unjaundiced eye, you’ll see that this is merely a bit of political tomfoolery from a republican guy who wants to get in some digs at the presumptive democratic nominee. As example of the silliness of the man, I note that at the end of the interview with Greta on Fox, he claims that Ayers is “an advisor” of the Obama campaign.
The Wikipedia entry for the Weather Underground has a timeline for the activities of the group. The timeline includes bombings they claimed responsibility for as well as bombings they are suspected of but did not claim responsibility for.
The Murtaugh home bombing is not included in the list, which by itself ought to be enough to convince you that Murtaugh’s not being truthful.
From Murtaugh’s description of the night, with its “gasoline-filled bombs”, I’m inclined to infer that “molotov cocktails”– which consist of a rag stuffed into the neck of a bottle full of gasoline and then lit and thrown– were the, uh, IED.
Any cop’ll tell ya: this doesn’t match up with the MO of the Weather Underground, whose explosive devices were dynamite-based and in every case planted at public buildings, not private homes.
Why is it that the Obama fans all favor violence to get their point across?? “2 x 4 across your head?”
Geez.. lay off the steroids, dude.
Most experts agree it’s because they’re effeminate, latently homosexual men, second string “intellectuals,” with small penises.
I mean, in as much as Obama is supposed to be emulating Rove, looking a little closer at Rove, and his strategy, I’m aghast.
Look at the troll here, he’s stupid, look at his level of reasoning. He isn’t even smart enough to understand WHY his arguments fail, why he is on the receiving end of so much scorn.
Imagine what the CIA could do with a tool troll like this, never mind the NSA.
And then imagine something like this ADVISING the President…
Rove is a moron, and anyone who would emulate him is a bigger moron, not seeing the holes in that “strategy.”
Ehemmm…..Chris Vosberg…
Podex Perfectus Es ! Futue te Ipsum ! Impudens es leno ! Caput stercoris !
( You complete asshole ! Go Fuck yourself ! You shameless Pimp ! Shit Head! )
2×4 upside the head……..Back to GAZA WITH YOU !…….
You wouldn’t know.
You’re here with this ancient technique of troll, actually highlighting WHERE Obama is weak, and FEARFUL, and you’re too stupid to see how others might be trolling you in with this issue, and, um, script.
You’re defensive, and revealing yourself.
You seem highly pretentious.
Do you have your own blog?
heh.
hey chris, your koolaid is dribbling down your chin. that happens when you gulp it.
Well I feel much better about NC!
And quite sure it will NOT be because the SUPERS over turned the will OF THE PEOPLE because HILLARY is going to win the POPULAR vote for SUCH a margin it will be beyond obvious to the WORLD and the supers will have to follow the WILL of the MASSES.
Just returned from Hendersonville, NC where Hillary drew more than 4 thousand (local news also said this) on a beautiful sunny day and it was un REAL!!
We couldn’t even find a place to park so we just drove around awhile gawking at the masses and drove back up to Asheville. We were lucky we say Hillary HERE last week.
Hendersonville is less than an hour south of here near the SC border.
It really is amazing all those folks came out in such SHORT SHORT notice!! During the middle of the day. A Friday no less.
GRrrrrrreat!!
pardon my typos I’m out of b reath and still excited
GO HILLARY
THE MOUNTAINS LOVE YOU!!!
I’m having a typo day, too, Dawnelle.
The air must be thin up here, not enough O2…
Obama has poo pooed any thought that he shares any philosophy with Ayers and Dorhn. However, considering that Ayers helped Obama launch his political career and even gave money to Obama’s campaign, perhaps Bill Ayers thinks differently about what Obama believes or doesn’t believe. At the very least, Ayers and Dorhn look upon Obama as someone who they could support.
That makes me incredibly uneasy about this relationship.
Excellent piece, Uppity. I listened to the audio, and it just sends shivers down my spine that our next president could have close ties with terrorists.
Well, this, and his relationship with Hamas, and Wright, and Farrakhan, and their relationship with Qaddafi, say, and Auchi, and Rezko, and whatabout those Syrian Baathists?
Too many terrorists, here, Bama, what’s up?
oh dear, i hear the obama bus starting. ayers and dorhn better watch crossing streets because they are going to be thrown under the bus next. and we haven’t got to the socialist aa poet who one of baby o’s many “uncles” in hawaii. that list just keeps getting longer.
“Uncle” Frank Marshal Davis of Hawaii passed on on 1987.
However Obama has a full boatload of scum bags who haven’t surfaced - Yet!
Getting a life alert: I’ll be back later. I’ve left some food in the trolls dishes and if they get cold there’s a blanket on the couch for them.
Keep up your spirits everyone!
Ciao,
G-N-G
Is it possible for the government to try these monstrous people, again? I suppose the Rev. Jeremiah Wright knew them, too, since he used one of Dorhn’s quotes while preaching from the pulpit…”the United States of AmeriKKKa”. At the very least…if these people, including Wright, do not like our country then just deport them. We do not need them or want them here and we don’t need a Politician who worked for Ayers for 8 years and lied about it. I don’t know how long Ayers and Dorhn have been involved in the Education system, but I think their activities should be investigated.
Anyone remember this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcCm7Cp0l98
Now you find out that 5 years ago a candidate running for POTUS became a friend of Terry Nichols, the one who helped McVeigh build the bomb, in fact the candidate did some work with Nichols on educting kids,would you elect that person to any position in government, especially POTUS?
So what is the difference between Ayers/Dohrn and Nichols, all confessed to their parts in bombings, except Ayers/Dohrn got off on technicalities and Nichols is locked up!
Age at the time of the incident is not an excuse for justification, it is a justification for a chosen jusgement and form of thinking!
Just because I am ticked off by today’s Obama plants, I am going to publish Dohrn’s declaration of war next.
Katiebird writes: Did Ayers & Dorhn really host a political event for Obama in there house? Were any funds raised at the event?
Respectively, yeah, sort of, and who cares.
Illinois state senator Alice Palmer planned to pursue a congressional bid, and encouraged the up-and-coming Barack Obama to run for the office she was vacating. At the house of the popular liberal activists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, she introduced her hand-picked successor, with her endorsement, to the assembled handful of leftwing movers and shakers assembled there. You could I guess infer from this endoresement and introduction that fund raising was implied.
Bill Ayers is not, by and large, regarded in Chicago as terrifying as he is by vicariously indignant Obama opponents here. As you can see, outgoing State Senator Alice Palmer though highly enough of him to intro and anounce Obama’s candidacy there at his house, and no less than the Mayor of Chicago has weighed in with the follwing statement in response to the tempest in a teapot:
I also know Bill Ayers. He worked with me in shaping our now nationally-renowned school reform program. He is a nationally-recognized distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois/Chicago and a valued member of the Chicago community.
I don’t condone what he did 40 years ago but I remember that period well. It was a difficult time, but those days are long over. I believe we have too many challenges in Chicago and our country to keep re-fighting 40 year old battles.
The University of Illinois, Chicago, feels the same way, employing Ayers as a professor for lo these many years, and his book publisher appears to have swallowed its disgust long enough to have published a stunning number of works by Ayers on the subject of education.
And though his wife is denied practice in New York and Chicago, she teaches law at Nothwestern University, which I presume is as callow and shameless as Barack Obama himself, who though he had several opportunities, hasn’t driven a stake through the heart of both Bill and Bernadine.
I’m sorry ]laughing], but, based on this and the fact that I know and remember the sixties as an era that motivated many to madness, I’m not angry at either of these folks, and I’d be glad to know em both.
Hey everybody, This piece of Uppity’s is now posted at MYDD, with a link to NQ so that more people can read and hear the radio interview.
PLEASE GO THERE AND RECOMMEND IT.
http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/5/2/14191/05660
“glad to know em both”
Well, doesn’t that just sum you up perfectly? Me? I have an aversion to people that think sticking a fork in a murder victim’s body and eating with it is “Cool!!”, and I have a thing about not wanting to know people that fire bombed a family’s house!, or plotted to firebomb an officer’s club and dorm. Among other things.
