BREAKING NEWS: David Axelrod Talking Regularly with Bill Ayers?
By Larry Johnson on August 29, 2008 at 1:06 PM in Current Affairs
I now have two sources confirming that Barack Obama’s Communications Director, David Axelrod has been communicating regularly with unrepentant terrorist and former member of the Weathermen, Bill Ayers, about how to respond to stories trying to report on Obama’s longstanding relationship with Ayers. One of my sources tells me that one person, a TV pundit who wishes to not be named, is talking about this without mentioning Axelrod. This person told my friend:
I predict that the howling and whining we hear from the Obama campaign about Billy Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist who bombed the US. Capitol and has been linked to candidate Obama at least for the last dozen years, will get louder, and more hysterical and more damaging because we will find that not only did Billy Ayers work closely with Barack Obama to fund left wing school schemes in the hands of Maoists (Mike Klonsky) and Neo-Stalinists (Bill Ayers) but also Billy Ayers himself, now, regularly, is talking part in strategy sessions with major Obama advisers as to how to bury the truth about the terrorist and the candidate.”
Another source with direct access to the Obama campaign reports that it is David Axelrod who is fielding these calls. It is astonishing that the Obama team thought they could contain this information. But they will fail. Their fear about Ayers has little to do with his past as a bomber of U.S. Government facilities and more to do with the mismanagement of more than 100 million dollars that was spent by the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC).
Steve Diamond has been a pioneer in helping uncover Barack’s tawdry association with this group:
The CAC was established in 1995 as a result of a $49.2 million grant from Walter Annenberg to support education reform in Chicago. Bill Ayers and Anne C. Hallett co-signed a letter submitting the grant proposal to Brown University President Vartan Gregorian on November 8, 1994 where the national Challenge office would be headquartered.
The letter was on the letterhead of the University of Illinois at Chicago (“UIC”). Ayers identified himself as representing the UIC and the “Chicago Forum for School Change.” Ms. Hallett is identified as the Executive Director of the Cross City Campaign for Urban School Reform. At the bottom of the letter, a parenthetical states: “On behalf of the Chicago School Reform Collaborative.”
Ayers plays a critical role in setting it up and in selecting Barack Obama to take over as the Chairman of the Board of the CAC:
Obama took over the reins of the Board in early 1995 and stepped down from the chairmanship in late 1999, though he remained on the Board until the CAC phased itself out of existence and handed off its remaining assets to a permanent new institution, the Chicago Public Education Fund, in 2001. The Board began to meet in March of 1995 and formally incorporated the CAC as a non-profit entity in April 1995.
Do you ever ask yourself why Barack has not touted his “EXPERIENCE” as the Chairman of the Board of the CAC? You would think that a man who headed a $100 million plus foundation would put that at the top of his resume if he is running for President. Well, he doesn’t why? It appears that his ties to Ayers and how the funds were actually spent are facts the Obama campaign wants to keep buried. But the shovels are out and the facts will emerge. I guess the next question for Barack will be if he thinks it is okay for his Communication’s Director to talk regularly with an unrepentant terrorist? I bet most Americans would say no.
Sure Larry.
Also, that Whitey tape will come out any day now, right?
I’m still laughing at the fact that Britney Spears’ artistic stage manager designed obama’s temple.
AHAHAAHAH
You CAN’T make that up.

Ha, ha! Appropriate, and I’m a huge Sondheim fan.
HaHaHa…too funny! They really do invite ridicule, don’t they?
I find this hilarious:

How can any Hillary supporter go for this creationist who doesn’t even believe in abortion even in rape cases.
Sarah Palin is superb and as far as the pro-choice issue, it is each and every individual’s responsibility (with the exception of rape ) to take charge of getting pregnant or not. There is the morning after pill and the birth contral implants, pro-choice should not even be an issue. Who would want to have an abortion (except in the case of rape or health of the mother), I would much prefer being responsible and using the birth control methods that are so readily available today.
Why do liberal loons harp so much on the pro-choice issue, I cannot understand that
Governor Palin is much more experienced than Obama and we know where she comes from and what her agenda is.
If she is a creationist she is unrepentedly ignorant, and would seek to spread her ignorance to our children. You can take all these political jerkoffs and throw them in the ocean.
It will come up in the debates.
Let me just say that The Republicans always have a leg up on the Democrats because no matter how loud the fringe right is the centrist Republicans rally to their party and make sure the fringe left doesn’t turn America into a Socialist state.
If she is an atheist she is unrepentedly ignorant, and would seek to spread her ignorance to our children. You can take all these political jerkoffs and throw them in the ocean.
You see, Jimbo, your comment works equally as well with your side. WHY should her being a Creationist make any difference, whatsoever? Since WHEN has ANY Creationist in public office EVER gone to any school and indoctrinated our children? It has NEVER happened and it never will. Now go enjoy Fahrenheit911 again. Wow, you Christian Fearers are NUTS!
Well, she’s against abortion in the case of rape and incest as well. And of course, those birth control methods you talk about never fail.
And according to the Republican’s own policy papers, life should be considered at meeting of egg and sperm so, bye-bye morning after pill.
Get educated about these policies before you spout off this crap. She’s a R with a majorly big R. She is further right than McCain on issues.
Now let me get this straight:
Obamabrats themselves called Hillary and her supporters “whiners” - among MANY other deragatory names. Harassed us, stole our votes, and on and on.
Now we’re supposed to believe that you brats in the Democratic party suddenly give a damn about Hillary? Or us?
Who the f— do you think you’re trying to fool?
Walk your asses in front of a speeding bus and stand there.
Obama and his brats are scared now and they are acting like rats running hither and yon trying to figure out what the hell they are to do now. Let them run themselves in circles; it is a delight to watch!
I feel your pain. Now the Obama’s camp is saying that Hillary had 14 years of experience blah..blah…..question to OBama: Son, if you felt that she had all these experience ,now that Alaska Palin might be threatening your run- why in heavens name didn’t you put Hillary on your ticket? TOO BAD- you had a choice and now WOMEN will make the final DECISIONs, concerning you women bigots!~
well dayuuuuuuuuuum..Newly Independent!
Wish I would have said that!!!! WOOHOO
I didn’t call Hillary a whiner. I did call you all here whiners.
Those few of you who actually were Hillary supporters, anyway. I mean, I understand that a good chunk of the people who post here were going to vote for McCain in November regardless of who won, but those of you who are going to metaphorically put a knife in Hillary’s back by claiming to be a supporter of hers and then voting for America-hating John McCain.
Don’t expect us to forget that votes were taken from one candidate and given to another candidate, in the same party. Or forget that the receiving candidate wasn’t even on the ballot in that state.
That’s not exactly democracy in action.
NObama!
I suggest everyone check-out the link for the full context of the remark.
This is not a good link to smear Palin
I suggest you make the jump and listen to
GovVice President Palin’s own words. Bambi’s department of propaganda gets it wrong again.Isn’t it great how this has pushed Waffles’
concertspeech last night off the front pages?I’m pleased as punch with the Palin pick (that alliteration is just a happy coincidence). John McCain scoured his party for the better part of hours, it looks like, and found a candidate who has less than half the elected experience as McCain has campaign experience.
We’re not talking the debate over whether Obama’s four years in the United States Senate, or the years before in the Illinois State Senate, or the years before working as a community organizer qualify him for office. We’re talking about a woman who has to list PTA on her resume because she’s completely bereft of real accomplishment.
I’m gleeful, because I’ll admit that I was worried that McCain’s experience argument might resonate with some people. But hey, he’s willing to put a woman with eighteen months as the governor of a state with a third of the population of the Kansas City metro area, and before that was a part-time mayor of a city of around twelve percent of the size of the crowd at Mile High Stadium last night.
Moreover, thirty-eight million people watched the speech live, not counting millions more on PBS, C-Span, and the internets. In 2000, people who watched the debates went 60-40 saying the winner was Gore. People who watched the coverage of the debates went 60-40 for Bush. I’m just as happy for the media to not put the speech that everyone saw last night into their prepackaged narrative.
But Palin…this development fills me with glee. McCain finding a total lightweight whose only real qualification seems to be her gender…that’s an insult to women who really are qualified (Christine Todd Whitman or Kay Bailey Hutchinson would have been relatively unassailable, experience-wise). The pick, coming after the speech last night, is like you woke up the day after Independence Day and found out it was Christmas. Fireworks at night, gifts in the morning. Beautiful.
I love how you soeBOBOweenies call Palin a light weight because she’s a woman. This rest of this race is going to be fun.
Yeah, it’s because she’s a woman. You got me. My full-throated support of Kathleen Sebelius for Obama’s VP (she’d have had my full-throated support had she run for the top spot, as well. She’s, quite frankly, the toughest, smartest, most capable politician in the United States) was just a smokescreen. It couldn’t possibly be that she’s actually a lightweight, no. There MUST be some kind of sexism there. For God’s sake, he didn’t vote for Hillary! He must hate women!
Who cares how many people watched the Messiah’s speech.It was packed full of the usual baritone, oratorical lies.I have never seen any candidate that can take four positions on one issue within hours. Obama is a completely unqualified and unaccomplished candidate.Hope and Change? Nebulous platitudes and slogans that vacuous fools like yourself fall for hook, line and sinker. Why don’t you do a little bit of research and investigating regarding your candidate Obama’s history. Where he has been, what he has done,who his friends are,who his family is, what associations he has cultivated,who has mentored him, what his true beliefs and ideology are,what scandalous organizations he was involved in around Chicago. Obama is a Denzel Washington wannabe. I believe Obama really longs to be a movie star. In fact he is somewhat delusional and acts as if he is a movie star, playing to and waving to the adoring crowds of mind numbed sycophants. Obama wants the roaring crowds, the attention, the cameras, the adulation.Obama really can’t be bothered with responsibilities. Just examine his record.He would fit right in in LA; a narcisistic,thin skinned, leftist. Obama is the consumate empty suit. As it currently stands, Sarah Palin has much more executive experience than Barack Obama. Sarah Palin is better prepared at this moment to become President of the United States than your messiah, “the One”, Barack Obama. Now,do you want to compare Obama’s experience to John McCains? It is McCain and Obama at the top of the ticket. Not Palin and Obama. You leftist liberals are all shook up. And rightly so, because the inexperience that you are trying to paint Sarah Palin with only accentuates and highlights the complete lack of experience and accomplishment of Barack Obama.You libs are going through a real serious case of buyers remorse.
you forgot to add his time on the annenburg commitee with his neighbor billy ayers 1995-1999 very impressive
can you smell panic with the trolls today ? nothing they can say or do is going to alter the course of this election. the messiah is dead…and he wont become a maryter either…..bye bye oliar.
They are terrified, aren’t they? They are desperately trying to stifle the enormous enthusiasm for Palin among Clinton supporters.
Not going to happen.
The GOP just showed they respect women, and qualified ones.
Bye-bye, Barry. It is over for you and your sexist, election-rigging cohorts who are destroying the Democratic Party.
Panic? It’s like Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day, and the Lower Oakland Roller Derby Finals all rolled into one. I suppose all the Republicans better start drinking to Crankypants’ health.
And they still think by insulting us - and our intelligence - that they can make us vote for their candidate!! I’m laughing!!!
Bye Obama - you didn’t need us, your followers insult us, but McCain answered us!!!
Obama’s temple of doom.
I am so happy! It feels like real hardworking American people are going to put the “Show Boat” into dry dock. He will only be left with his memeories: Sitting behind his fake presidential seal because all the governers he was meeting with had real ones; a staged speech in the general vicinty of the Brandenburg gate where he bribed peole to attend, and his “acceptance” speech at his very own temple of doom.
“Obama’s of Doom” - Clever - I love it!
“On the Eve of Destruction”
I had read that it was to resemble the Lincoln Memorial with Obama as the fulfillment of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. I’m Republican, voting for McCain, but the imagery seemed just right and appropriate to me. I don’t think Mr. O is the fulfillment of MLK’s dream but think the essential moral goodness is represented in that staging.
I’m sure Britney Spears thought so too.. lol!
I think it was overdone, unnecessary and a distraction.
Six million dollars for a 45 minute speech. That comes out to $133,333 per minute. Zeus he ain’t. Somebody got screwed.
yes, it will.
Surely you know you didn’t have to IDENTIFY yourself as an Obama Troll, that is obvious. And you surely don’t know anything about quality time and time of important information. lol
s/b…TIMING of important information.
This is wide spread information that has been available for several months to those that were intelligent enough to do their own research, the MSM is finally doing their job and Larry is reporting that.
Obama Troll,
by now we’ve seen enough of Michelle that it won’t be such a shock. We can easily imagine her ranting on. The prime moment may be gone.
Larry -
You say the shovels are out and maybe now some digging will be going on.
In Obama’s case, there are so many dirty, worthy artifacts to find in his background that “real” journalists should be using the flat edged shovels of archaeologists who employ the all important “schnitting” technique - gently taking off the dirt one fine layer at a time in order not to miss and to fully EXPOSE all the important finds that have been covered up and hidden - waiting to be discovered.
Thanks for being our resident “schnitter”. LOL
Yes Larry and remember your scoop that Rove was being indicted any day, that was 14 months ago, how is that going?
As for your amazing scoop on the Whitey tape, when exactly is this imaginary tape coming out.
It worked the first time, not so much the second time, the third time no one sane believes you as you have zero credibility.
Well- Bill—I don’t know about the whitey tape- but I can tell you that I have seen and read the arabic video prayer to call song. It exist. Someone is keeping the New York Time from revealing it again. They did have it a year or so for us (the old bloggers that have been following the evil messiah around) on the internet. Maybe it is because they are a liberal bunch and don’t want to hurt Obama. I can tell you something, that when the american people start listening to Obama “read in singing form the arabic prayer to call song and say it was the most beautiful sound in th world” -they will be turned off. I heard it and I am a democrat and will not vote for him. Don’t think for a moment there isn’t a whitey tape- if the arabic tape exist- possibily the whitey one does.
Well the FBI/CIA/Ford Foundation agent provocateurs,
the Weather Underground connection to the Obama and this mind set, strategy is being exposed as right it should. We know about hate whitey, that is the message that the Ford Foundation invested millions in promoting as part of the divide and conquer strategy.
Who do you think funded Black Liberation Theology?
Look unrepentant terrorist Ayers wants the H bomb, its that simple.
Justs what is the point of your coming to this site? Do you truly think you are going to sway opinion to your boy? Won’t happen! Gettin scared much?
There is so much out there that is bad for Obama and there’s no way you poor guys can stop it from coming.
That’s what comes of deciding to vote for a guy with nothing but words!
I see it as an act of charity. If you really believe in the same values as Hillary, then I want to help you see that you wrong to support McCain.
Too late jc -
On the day of the DNC Rules and Bylaws committee meeting - I began donating money to John MCCain - in honor of the DNC’s most corrupt decision in American politics.
Believe me - you’re not going to sway anyone - unless you count swaying us further and further TOWARDS McCain/Palin.
Democracy can be tough. In some countries people actually take up arms when their candidate loses a fair election. I guess we should be grateful that your when you throw a temper tantrum you only give money to people who you say don’t agree with.
I should also say that although supporting people you say you don’t agree with is juvenile, it is more ethical than making stuff up about people like Larry Johnson does.
jc
“fair election”??????
poor little troll…..
Yes it was a fair election. Obama won the most contested votes, the most delegates and the nomination. The rules may not have been ideal, but everyone agreed on them going in. That is how democracy works.
Couldn’t have said that better myself!
Obama cheated in the caucas, children. There were dead people voting. Hillary won this election. Period. And that is why we are going to punish Obama and that democrat party by voting for Mccain/Palin- cry yourself a river.
Democrats don’t say “democrat” party. You clearly are a Republican. Nice try.
well, ok, then accept your defeat.
The old man outfoxed the idiot a dozen times over.
Soetoro/Biden is toast. Oh well, that’s just the rules.
Then WHY not allow a floor vote as it has been done for decades??????
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! You are hilarious! bo has never won an election in his entire life, but relies on fraud and underhanded tricks to advance his career… it’s called Chicago style politics and there is nothing democratic about it. I heard it myself from delegates… this was NOT in any way a democratic election. The “rules” were broken. The DNC needs to be charged with fraud in the courts.
Obama did have an opponent in his run for US House. Bobby Rush beat Obama handily. So, you can rightly say that this is the second time he has had an opponent. The first time he lost. Logically, he has a 50/50 chance of winning and that’s very close to what the polls are showing.
If the media would have done it’s damn job, and the idiots that are employed in the media that pass themselves off as objective journalists actually acted like journalists instead of leftist cheerleaders and apologists, Obama would have been exposed before the Iowa caucuses for the black liberation theology, reverund Wright loving, racist that he is. You can also throw in William Ayers, Tony Rezko,The Woods fund, CAC(Annenberg challenge) and the 100 million dollars that was pissed away by the messiah,Obama’s house deal,Frank Marshall mentoring,Sol Alinski type ideology,etc. Obama has been running for president now for about two years; more than enough time for these corrupted mainstream journalists to get off their asses and do some investigative work.If the voters in Iowa knew even a fraction of what I just listed about Obama,Hillary Clinton would have won the Iowa caucuses.Obama would be a footnote in the history books.Obama was not vetted then and still has had a free pass to this day from the dinosaur, mainstream media(NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NY Times,Wash.Post, etc. etc.)Barack Obama is the mainstream media’s candidate and they are going to do anything and everything they can to see to it that he becomes president of the United States.It is a sad state of affairs in this nation.
you missed a few things attorney general Biden,obama,sinclair, (tags)otherwise you covered a lot thanks
What are you babbling about? Bill and Hillary are off the hook…who will Waffles blame when he loses? Tools like you who made sure the democrats would remain divided.
Oh, and by the way…who paid for you to receive the text message “first”, mommy or daddy?
Yes,it’s a good thing we don’t follow Obama’s cousin, Odinga’s, example - which Obama advised and supported and go around our nation burning, looting and murdering people who disagree with us.
Here in this country, Obama just allows his supporters to slaughter us verbally over the internet. Okie dokie.
you dont have the morals to change anyones mind, you want to vote for someone who has done nothing but run for president, funnel 14 millon dollars to a crook, who he should be in jail with, who wants to distroy our country and dismantle our military than go ahead, who cares, you cannot change people who have standards different then yours, so troll in obamas smug camp
Oh - cut the charade!
Your cult/Communist candidate just want Hillary’s VOTES.
That he’s NOT getting.
Truth is, you Obama losers don’t give a damn about Hillary. Nor her supporters.
You just see “the messiah’s” chances of winning the White House slipping away……
jc, we, the Hillary patriots, do NOT need your help at all ! You and your kind need to educate yourselves regarding the true character of Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., his given name.
Do you want this beloved country of ours to fall in the hands of domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers, who uttered he should have done better after the 9/11?
Bill Ayers is one of Obama’s shady character friends in Chicago. Do you know that Obama relocated the political & field operations of the Democratic Party from Dc to Chicago? To play house? WAKE-UP,jc.
McCain ‘08
Hillary ‘12
God Save America !!!
I do not, for one minute, believe that Obama has the same values as Hillary.
I think McCain does.
I may not agree with him 100%, but he has done some very fine things. He is honest and he shows it by having given his entire life in service to our country.
Enough for me.
Not scared in the least. Just more proof that you kids are Republicans through and through. Cheering the leader of Z”femminists for life” is just one more example of your GOP bene fides.
Give it up with these foolish Republicans. They have proven time and again that it wasn’t Hillary they supported. They have proven time and again that they don’t believe in pro choice, equal pay, experiance and any other issue they wail about.
Nope, these kids are simply the latest incarnation of the “life long Democrats” that wrote LTE’s during the run up to the war.
I’d rather be called a Republican than an OBOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, you DICKHEAD, it will come out if and when Karl Rove decides it’s time. You stupid little insect - are you one of the Obama trolls who defaced Palin’s Wikipedia page earlier today?
For those who don’t know: Obama people defaced Sarah Palin’s Wikipedia page as soon as the announcement came out, replacing her photo with a montage of Hulk Hogan and introducing news section called ‘Politicians I’d Like to Fuck’ and ‘Mothers I’d Like to Fuck’. Fortunately the article could be restored, the offending material removed, and the article locked against further rather typical Obama brown shirt fascist tactics.
Hey you stupid wee Obama twits: listen good. For Sarah Palin is YOUR WORST FUCKING NIGHTMARE.
Another reason NOT to vote for Obama! There really is a cult mentality running through these youngsters!
I usually don’t like bad language but you hit it right on the nail. We now have someone with TRUE GRIT a female John Wayne.
Ask the RNC.
You’re very afraid, we see.
I hope you are comfortable with teachers forming your children or grandchildren’s opinions about your nice little life. Ayers philosophy is to radicalize and politicize children against the status quo and his plan is to use teachers to do that. When Obama hired Ayers, he endorsed that philosophy. If he didn’t know about it, then he’s not a good administrator. If he knew about it, then it’s quite obvious what his agenda really is.
The timing could not be worse for Obama. What a contrast to Gov. Palin’s crusade against government waste and corruption.
Karl Rove is the champion! Say what you want but he’s the best!
heh heh…
you can’t make this stuff up…
Obama is such a joke…
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
I don’t know why the media continues to take BO seriously. He is a joke.
Endless flip flops to the point that longtime dems like myself don’t even know what he stands for. Says he’s the change candidate but picks Biden who has been in DC since 1972. Says he is the uniter but I haven’t seen our party more divided since Ted Kennedy challenged a sitting Dem Pres all the way to the convention (and got a REAL roll call vote). Says he’s a new politician and proceeds to hire kids to write violent death threats to those who oppose him, then gives Hillary the finger.
What other candidate could have long term relationships with a terrorist, a racist and a convicted felon and still be taken seriously by the press? It’s time that the media get some cult deprogramming.
Palin and Ayers all in one day? This more than I can take. LOL.
LOL that is so true, somebody please stop this its starting to hurt lol lol
As much as I hate what happened with Hillary, this really is becoming quite amusing! I am eagerly anticipating the wonderful 527’s that are about to be released on BO. Just can’t wait!!
McCain’s already got a bunch of blaster under the “love” tab.
That’s the only good part about not having a horse left in the race. You get to sit back and enjoy the show.
There seem to be lots of Obots around here being scared of McCain after he selected Palin as his VP. They - Obots musb be very worried by now!
She is the only one of the 4 that has executive experience.
Palin is great. She alone can beat both Mr Hussein and Joe B easily without McCain stepping in!
McCain/Palin 08!
Never, ever HUSSEIN OBAMA Bin Laden!
She goes fishing and plays hockey. My kind of woman.
She hunts, and eats moose meat.
And she’s kind of easy on the eyes.
Being a woman,that fishes and hunts,can condone,what Mccain saw in this woman..She’s a wife,mother,had a Child with Downs Syndome,(and she knew in advance,)and never even thought of having a abortion..She’s a governor,she coaches..She helps run her husbands business. She doesn’t hang with radicals…
Mccain way to go..
Hillary we still love you,but Country before party
That fits in prefect with Obama tape of the live birth debate that baby had DS also the 527 are going to have field day
She gave a shout out to Hillary Clinton AND Geraldine Ferraro. Nothing like acknowledging the women upon whose shoulders you stand.
Unlike Barky - I got 99 problems but a bitch aint one.
Let me tell you Barky, this bitch is your problem. I’m a former democrat and you’re the reason I left.
And remember, bitches get things done.
Love you for your truth- over here are more bitches- 100 assembly members that won’t vote for the bigo Obama. Hillary should have been on his ticket- now he is saying nice things about her- too late buddy! Mccain/Palin
