Make no mistake about it, Sen. Obama does not deny his friendship with Bill Ayers, an admitted, unrepentant domestic terrorist that never misses an opportunity to express his anti-American sentiments. If you are unfamiliar with Bill Ayers, particularly if you support Obama for president, you should make a point to become familiar with him and his history. Do not shy away from the facts of the case. Bill Ayers is a domestic terrorist that only regrets not causing more harm than he did and leaves open the possibility of terrorizing America again.
Here are a few highlights of Bill Ayers views, actions and quotes:
1970- Bombed N.Y. City Police Headquarters
1971- Bombed the Capital Building
1972- Bombed the Pentagon
Ayers planned on bombing a dance attended by soldiers and their girldfriends but the explosives ignited in the handlers/terrorist's headquarters-killing Ayers's girlfriend.
2001- Ayers says in a New York Times article "I don't regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." Comment comes on the morning of the 9/11 attacks. Ayers further stated, when asked if he would bomb American buildings again, "I don't want to discount the possibility".
If you are unfamiliar with the connection Ayers has to Obama, I would think the most damning information is that Obama has openly stated that Ayers is a professor of the University of Illinois, as if this fact alone erases Ayers past deeds, as if his radical views have changed simply by the fact that some misguided Dean has entrusted Ayers to indoctrinate young Americans. Ayers claims to have babysat Obama's children. Ayers also introduced Obama into the Chicago political scene by throwing a tea/fundraiser for him. Nice. Very nice.
In an enlightening article written by Ronald Radosh, Ayers explains the intentions of his violent crimes against America:
"He (Ayers) and his comrades were moved, he insists, by the most decent of motives to undertake, not terrorism, but a restrained and purposeful form of "resistance." Terrorists seek to harm average people-men, women, and children-without regard to the target. For the Weather Underground, "the symbolic nature of the target" was paramount. They were only trying to prove "that a homegrown guerrilla movement was afoot in America," and thus they bombed police stations, statues to those they considered oppressors, ROTC buildings, draft offices, and corporate headquarters. "
Like Obama, Bill Ayers also seems to think he should be considered an innocent citizen. In Radosh's article, he writes: "BILL AYERS HAS LEARNED NOTHING in the years since he was a terrorist. He still thinks he and his comrades should be forgiven, because their terrorism was "propaganda of the deed" meant to "blaze away the masters of war," a cause for which he used "explosive words at first, slowly replaced by actual bombs." He still thinks that America "shatters community everywhere"-and intends the publication of Fugitive Days to encourage another generation of terrorists against the United States, however much he has tried to deny that intention in the days since the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Preparing for his book tour, Ayers posed for a publicity photo with the American flag crumbled in weeds underneath his feet. This man still hates America and seeks its destruction.
So what exactly is Ayers tie to Obama. Obama calls Ayers a friend, he sat on a board with him in Chicago, and Obama is Chairman of an organization the funds Ayers' education initiatives, which includes pledging allegiance to the world, not America.
So I ask all Obama supports, what does this say about your choice for president.
Please, read Radosh's full article about Ayers, dated 10/08/2001, well before Obama's camp has attempted to water down Ayer's true record as a citizen of this nation.

What I do care about is how McCain left the POW's and MIA's in Vietnam and pushed through legislation to cover his arse about it.
Obamas association with anyone doesnt matter for sh*t he didnt bomb anything.
McCain's actions assured the death of how many Vietnam vets still over there?
Under McCain how many POW's will be abandoned in Iraq and Afganistan.
So you would be friends with a terrorist? You would trust the judgement of a man that would befriend a domestic terrorist, and Obama also directed funds toward Ayers's education intitiatives... He supported his views by funding it. It's a little bit more than just knowing the man.
We are in a current war and when we pull out how many POW's is McCain going to leave and forget about?
When these activities of Ayers were happening back in the 60's Obama was in elementary school.
What if you found out one of your friends was a rapist or murderer? Would that make you bad by association. Could I assume based on the company you keep that you support rape or murder?
And from what I understand this Ayers guy is now very highly reguarded educator.
You have a short memory, you're factually inaccurate, and you display a gross show of how you can ignore facts to justify your continued support Obama. The Ayers comments were made to the New York Times on the morning of 9-11-2001, which were that he (Ayers) would not rule out another domestic attack and only regretted that he had not done more to harm America. His targets were policemen, soldiers, and other civil servants just as the terrorists that attacked us on 9/11, as well as innocent civilians in both attacks. ooaideIf Obama cares about America as he claims to he does, despite his comments to the contray, than such behavior by anyone would be offensive to him. Ayers has publicly made his opinions known and continues to do so. Ayers is a published author and the book is filled with boasts and praise of his past terroristic behavior. There is no way that Obama has not heard about Ayers's anti-American opinions. In fact, it is not a matter only of the two working for the same employer. Ayers sponsored Obama's campaign, as the first person to introduce him to the political circles that Ayers runs in. Ayers must have seen an buddy in Obama, because he doesn't support anything that isn't in agreement with his opinion. THe man is a radical domistic terrorist. He endorses Obama and Obama endorses him. It's that easy to understand, and the dates are pretty clear.
There is also a little known source, Ayers' book. It's not like Ayers is ashamed of his deeds. He's proud of it.
1970- Bombed N.Y. City Police Headquarters
1971- Bombed the Capital Building
1972- Bombed the Pentagon
Again eye since you seem to want to fit the circumstances to your agenda.
These incident happened when Obama was an elementary student.
Obama worked for Ayers, see the Annenberg Challenge, Obama had his "coming out" party at the home of Ayers when he ran for the Illinois state senate, he served on a board with Ayers' father and brother. He lives in the same neighborhood as Ayers. These incidents happened while Obama was Ayers' good buddy.
Obama has links to other terrorist too. Khalidi, he visited Khadafi with the right righteous reverend Wright, worked for ACORN, and there is some question of a radical Muslim paying for Obama's Harvard education.
Plus his association with other unsavory characters like Rezko, Manning, Meeks, and let's not forget his good buddy, the honorable mayor of Detroit.
Yeah, Obama is sure presidential material. If he weere trying to get a government security clearance he couldn't. Nice guy, huh?
Obama is a wolf dressed in sheeps clothing...he is dangerous to America. I am amazed (okay...shocked) that *some* ppl defend this anti-American and turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to this mans lifetime choice of sleazy friends and mentors. How easily some are deceived.
If Obama was ever elected...you'd have a lot more to worry about than the economy!
