Tried to stay away... I really did...
Got involved with another site, "NEWSVINE.COM" and read an article you folks might want to know about. For some of you, your "SHINY BLACK KNIGHT" isn't quite so shiny.

Hey Wind, the liberal Kool-Aid drinkers won't give a hoot about that. They've already put Ayers on a pedestal along with Obama and they worship both of them. Face it...both of dem are just swell guys, doncha know. :rolleyes:
As each day goes by, I'm hoping more and more that Obama wins out in November. It's going to be downright hilarious to watch the faces of some of these people when Obama gets turned loose with all his "programs." Thank God I'm not an athiest or I would have already written off this country as lost. BTW, do you want your original login stuff back? You are Windwalker, aren't you? :D |

But, what I've found out about Obama is VERY UNSETTLING, to say the least. I have to come up just a bit short of saying he's tied in with terrorists, but he certainly is tied in with EXTREMISTS. They're following the same pattern I learned about in school, so many years ago. But, when I read about it in History, they were talking about other countries. Now, it's our turn. They're putting their "puppets" in positions of power. When they get everybody in position, they're going to make their move. No wonder the President of Iraq has been talking about the end of the "AMERICAN EMPIRE". All of a sudden, his words aren't so hollow. By the way, Reb, read the stories and others that the links will lead you to and you'll know just what "MACHINE" is behind him. They've got a whole lot of power (money) on their side. And, you can still write my name in on the ballot in Nov. |

Here's more reading... For those of you that are so intent on supporting Obama...
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/rich-no...kes-connection Bill Ayers is just a guy in the neighborhood, ehhh... Looks less and less credible all the time. Back in the mid 90s, Obama signed a contract with the "NEW PARTY". "NEW PARTY" is guided by Bill Ayers... Bill Ayers bombed the Pentagon... Never heard of anyone required to sign a contract with a political party before... NOW!!! Now, do you folks want to discuss politics? If you do,,, SIGN ON PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!! WindWalker |
Nice to see ya Windy!!!!
From here: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8630.html Ayers is old news. The article is too long to post here. http://images.politico.com/global/v3/homelogo.gifObama once visited '60s radicals By: Ben Smith February 22, 2008 01:26 PM EST In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. While Ayers and Dohrn may be thought of in Hyde Park as local activists, they’re better known nationally as two of the most notorious — and unrepentant — figures from the violent fringe of the 1960s anti-war movement. Now, as Obama runs for president, what two guests recall as an unremarkable gathering on the road to a minor elected office stands as a symbol of how swiftly he has risen from a man in the Hyde Park left to one closing in fast on the Democratic nomination for president. “I can remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers’ house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the senate and running for Congress,” said Dr. Quentin Young, a prominent Chicago physician and advocate for single-payer health care, of the informal gathering at the home of Ayers and his wife, Dohrn. “[Palmer] identified [Obama] as her successor.” Obama and Palmer “were both there,” he said. Obama’s connections to Ayers and Dorhn have been noted in some fleeting news coverage in the past. But the visit by Obama to their home — part of a campaign courtship — reflects more extensive interaction than has been previously reported. Neither Ayers nor the Obama campaign would describe the relationship between the two men. Dr. Young described Obama and Ayers as “friends,” but there’s no evidence their relationship is more than the casual friendship of two men who occupy overlapping Chicago political circles and who served together on the board of a Chicago foundation. But Obama’s relationship with Ayers is an especially vivid milepost on his rise, in record time, from a local official who unabashedly reflected a very liberal district to the leader of national movement based largely on the claim that he can transcend ideological divides. In one sense, Obama’s journey toward the cultural and political center is not unusual among national politicians. But its velocity is. Politicians of an earlier generation had their own relationships with figures now far to their left. Hillary Rodham Clinton, for instance, interned at a radical San Francisco law firm while in law school. On the other side of the political spectrum, many in the generation before hers shifted dramatically on civil rights. John McCain voted against creating a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. and later called that a mistake. The relationship with Ayers gives context to his recent past in Hyde Park politics. It’s milieu in which a former violent radical was a stalwart of the local scene, not especially controversial. It’s also a scene whose liberal ideological features — while taken for granted by the Chicago press corps that knows Obama best — provides a jarring contrast with Obama’s current, anti-ideological stance. This contrast between past and present — not least the Ayers connection — is virtually certain to be a subject Republican operatives will warm to if Obama is the Democratic nominee. The tension between the present and recent Chicago past is also evident in some of his positions on major national issues. Many national politicians, including Clinton, have moved toward the center over time. But Obama’s transitions are still quite fresh. A questionnaire from his 1996 campaign indicated more blanket opposition to the death penalty, and support of abortion rights, than he currently espouses. He spoke in support of single-payer health care as recently as 2003. Like many of the most extreme figures from the 1960s Ayers and Dohrn are ambiguous figures in American life. They disappeared in 1970, after a bomb — designed to kill army officers in New Jersey — accidentally destroyed a Greenwich Village townhouse, and turned themselves into authorities in 1980. They were never prosecuted for their involvement with the 25 bombings the Weather Underground claimed; charges were dropped because of improper FBI surveillance. Both have written and spoken at length about their pasts, and today he is an advocate for progressive education and a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago; she’s an associate professor of law at Northwestern University. But — unlike some other fringe figures of the era — they’re also flatly unrepentant about the bombings they committed in the name of ending the war, defending them on the grounds that they killed no one, except, accidentally, their own members. Dohrn, however, was jailed for less than a year for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating other Weather Underground members’ robbery of a Brinks truck, in which a guard and two New York State Troopers were killed. “I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough,” Ayers told the New York Times in 2001. And their rehabilitation in establishment circles, even in Hyde Park, has its limits. Though he is a respected figure in liberal educational circles, Ayers wrote recently about how in 2006 he was informed he was persona non grata at a progressive educators’ conference in the summer of 2006. “We cannot risk a simplistic and dubious association between progressive education and the violent aspects of your past,” he quoted the conference organizers, whom he described as friends, as writing to him. But the couple has been embraced, by and large, in the liberal circles dominating Hyde Park politics. “Bill Ayers is one of my heroes in life,” said Sam Ackerman, a longtime local activist. “I knew Tony Rezko, and he ain’t no Rezko.” But others in Hyde Park, whose intellectual and political life revolves around the University of Chicago, view the couple with ambivalence.

I meant the association of Obama with Ayers is OLD NEWS, in Chicago anyway. Did you notice that this was written last February? Ayers and Dorhn haven't been underground, they have been steadily working their way into the system. Most voters are in the "Baby Boom" age brackets and SHOULD remember the '60's. Problem is, they've gotten complacent, and CHOOSE to forget. Even Richard Daley is saying we shouldn't bring up something that happened 40 years ago. BTW, isn't his brother working for Obama? Yes we all loved Capone. He did a lot for his 'family' and his community. He just insisted on doing it "His Way". ;) (We Need a SARCASM smilie) |
