Obama observes Memorial Day at Arlington cemetery
This article stinks out loud.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama avoided a racial controversy on his first Memorial Day in office by sending wreaths to separate memorials for Confederate soldiers and for blacks who fought against them during the Civil War.
And who is behind the “racist controversy”? We find out later in the article when she reveals that Billy Ayers signed a petition urging Obama NOT to recognize the sacrifice of the Confederate soldiers.
Last week, a group of about 60 professors petitioned the White House, asking the first black U.S. president to break tradition and not memorialize military members from the Confederacy, the group of Southern states that supported slavery.
“The Arlington Confederate Monument is a denial of the wrong committed against African-Americans by slave owners, Confederates and neo-Confederates, through the monument’s denial of slavery as the cause of secession and its holding up of Confederates as heroes,” the petitioners said. “This implies that the humanity of Africans and African-Americans is of no significance.”
…”about 60″ leftist professors who should keep their radical leftist views away from the public, out of the University, and instead should be promoting intellectual diversity.
The woman writing this article finishes it off with a devastating example of moonbattery which ratchet the Goebbels- socialist style propaganda level way over 10:
Among those who signed [sic] petition is 1960s radical William Ayers. The University of Chicago education professor helped found the radical group the Weather Underground that carried out bombings at the Pentagon and the Capitol. Republicans tried to link Obama and Ayers during the presidential campaign because they lived in the same neighborhood and served on a charity board together.
That paragraph glosses over some interesting little factoids about Obama’s relationship with the “professor”.
First, Obama and Ayers shared an office together for years. I’ll be getting back to that in a moment.
And Yes, Ayers helped found the Weather Underground, which was completely about socialist revolution as recounted in the book “Fugitive Days”, but the real meat you want to get a taste of is out of their communist manifesto, Prairie Fire. Take a read from some of the excerpts of Prairie Fire and Zombietime and it will raise the hair on the back of your neck. Among other murderers, they dedicate the book to Sirhan Sirhan, Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s (Islamic) assassin. Ayers was overheard by then FBI Informant Larry Grathwohl who, in a room with other elitists sat calmly discussing the necessity of murdering 25 million American people who couldn’t be reprogrammed to “change”:
I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?” And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.
And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.
And when I say “eliminate,” I mean “kill.”
Twenty-five million people.
I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.
And they were dead serious.
Ayers felt, like Che Guevara, that killing is acceptable and even necessary in a socialist “revolution”, which is why he and Bernadine Dohrn are responsible for the death of at least one police officer. (Leaders of the San Francisco Police Officers Union accused them of being responsible for the 1970’s bombing which left one Sergeant dead. The bomb also killed three of their own Weather Undergound members–maybe they should be charged with those deaths, too.)
Dohrn and Ayers are responsible for bombings all right.
The group is notable for a campaign from 1969 through the middle 1970s of bombings, riots, and a jailbreak. The “Days of Rage,” the group’s first public demonstration on October 8, 1969, was a riot in Chicago coordinated with the trial of the Chicago Seven. In 1970 the group issued a “Declaration of a State of War” against the United States government, under the name “Weather Underground Organization” (WUO). The bombing attacks were mostly against government buildings, along with several banks. Most were preceded by communiqués that provided evacuation warnings, along with statements regarding the particular matter which motivated the attack. Bombing included the United States Capitol on March 1, 1971; The Pentagon on May 19, 1972, and January 29, 1975 bombing of the United States Department of State Building.
They are only free today because they got off on a technicality. Ayers came out bragging that he was “”[I’m g]uilty as hell, free as a bird!” And is also on record as having said “Kill all the rich people, break up their cars and apartments, bring the revolution home… that’s where it’s really at.”
Bernadine Dohrn is on record celebrating the Sharon Tate murders, walking around signifying tribute to them with three fingers held up in the air to signify a fork- which were carried out by Charles Manson and the Manson family.
If that’s not enough, yes, Obama & Ayers sat together on the board of the Woods Fund, and the Woods Fund
…granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a “catastrophe” and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens.
All of which Obama’s administration is making sure is happening at an accelerated pace.
The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.
In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi’s wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.
You see, the ties that bind them are quite extensive.
Ayers and Obama also together worked on the Annenberg Challenge, where they distributed funding to leftyworld projects in order to create more socialist radicals - not improve education, which is what the Annenberg Challenge was originally about.
Interesting, too, how she glosses over the fact that Obama’s political career was launched from Ayers’ living room at a “Meet the Candidate” get together the Ayers’ hosted.
Or the “Ayers and Obama shared office story”. I’m mentioning this again because Ayers’ Small Schools Workshop, the one Obama sent just short of $2 million to was located at 115 S. Sangamon Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607. That Sangamon address is the same one Obama and Ayers shared when they had an office together. In 1998, the address for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, where Obama presumably worked, was 115 S. Sangamon Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607. The CAC moved to a new address sometime in 1999 or 2000, but the two radicals (Obama and Ayers) shared that office for at least three years. In addition, ACORN and SEIU were across the street at 120 S. Sangamon.
AND it sure looks like Obama had a ghost writer for his books (or at least “Dreams”) since he wasn’t a particularly gifted or accomplished literary genius before the two of them met. The telling giveaways are the repetitive literary devices used in “Dreams from my Father” that are peculiar to Ayers’ casual speech; not Obama’s. In addition to the fact that Obama’s books are CALLED biographies but aren’t really biographies because they include compositie characters…one has to wonder a lot about those two and what they were smoking when they thought they’d get away with all of this unnoticed.
Truth be told, though, they have gotten away with it - people are turning a blind eye to it - and don’t seem to care - particularly the drooling slobbering Messiah-smitten media, clearly demonstrated in this AP article.
Obama’s association with Ayers is much more than that of two men who ‘live in the neighborhood’. Much, much more.
