   Always lying. Bill Ayers most likely ghosted Obama’s book. The relationship was much tighter than he represents. But anyone who believes a word Bill Ayers says is a fool.

   So there’s Ayers, there was Obama’s aunt in Boston, and no doubt many others.

   How many people did the Obama campaign pay to keep their mouths shut until Nov. 5?

   Just wondering…

   One of Ayers coconspirators at a meeting said that those that couldn’t or wouldn’t go along with the ‘revolution’ would have to be re-educated in re-education centers. When asked just exactly what that meant, it was said the upwards of 25 million Americans would have to be eliminated. Why go to Afghanistan or Iraq to look for enemies, we have plenty in the United States teaching our children, we have terrorist teaching children how to be terrorists. We have professors teaching teachers how to teach children to be communists. Hello out there.

   Wonder how many Southern conservatives and Republicans have connections, supporters, or family members who were members of the Klan, or had connections with members of the Klan in the 1950s and 1960s?

   I’d say quite a few.

   > “Obama’s political rivals and enemies apparently saw an opportunity to deepen a dishonest narrative about him, that he is somehow un-American, alien, linked to radical ideas, a closet terrorist, a sympathizer with extremism,” Ayers wrote.

   It’s nice of Ayers to admit that he is “un-American, alien, linked to radical ideas, a closet terrorist, a sympathizer with extremism”.

    Davy, the problem isn’t past guilt. It’s present enjoyment of the past acts, it’s lack of remorse, it’s republishing of books that call for the same actions he did, it’s loudly declaring he has not changed, that anyone who knows him knows what he stands for…

    He isn’t just an old yesteryear bad guy, Davy. He’s very much in the present. Just because he brainwashes young people in school today instead of building bombs means nothing, except that he’s lazy and enjoys having money and influence. He IS, not WAS, a very very bad guy.

    How would you feel about any Klansman (Dem Senator RObert Byrd) who did NOT apologize for what he did ‘back then’ (as Byrd has apologized) and still wanted power, influence and an inside track? Would you say it’s okay for Republicans to hang out with former Klansmen who did not denounce their days in the Klan? OBviously not, since you wrote that post about it.

    BUT AYERS IS THE SAME THING as what you seem to oppose.

    “keeping quiet through the crap” = shutting up until his protege was elected. Why does he deserve something for that? Don’t these people have something to do but write endless memoirs?

    “Wonder how many Southern conservatives have Klan in the family?” I appreciate the “our guy a radical, so is yours” argument…it’s a start at least.

    But no problem with the ex-Klan member actually IN the Senate…Robert Byrd, Democrat?

    That seems odd.

    Yeah the Klan is an equivalent comparison. How many people did the Klan kill in the 20th century? Very few. How many people died under the type of philosophy that Ayers supports? 150 Million.

    Yeah you’re right. You should be much more afraid of the Klan. Isn’t it obvious.

    For a starter, consider DEMOCRATIC SENATOR Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Bill for fourteen hours.

    The point about Ayers and his terrorist/Communist past is that he is unrepentant about it(read Prairie Fire). Ex Klansman Robert Byrd, for example, has expressed regret that he was against the Civil Rights Bill.

    *During the past 21 decades the Democrats successfully disguised and concealed their horrific acts against the African Americans by operating and committing these acts under the following aliases: the Confederacy, Jim Crow, Black Codes, the Dixiecrats and the Ku Klux Klan. Congressional records, historical documents, and the letters and testimonies from several brave black citizens revealed that these groups werent separate independent organizations, but were actual auxiliaries, divisions and/or the legislative efforts of the Democratic Party. The debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 further revealed that these auxiliaries were committed to use every means possible to carry out the Democrats racist agenda of White Supremacy, including: lynchings, murders, intimidation, mutilations, decapitations and racially bias legislation and adjudication.

    Hey Davy, you don’t have to investigate any Republicans for “links” to Klansmen, just look to the Democrats’ “Conscience of the Senate,” Robert C. (KKK) Byrd. Rather than having a tenuous link to the Klan through family and friends, Byrd is an ACTUAL former Klansman, who once wrote that, rather than serve in an integrated armed forces (as a result of Truman’s executive order), he (Byrd) would rather have seen Old Glory (i.e., the USA) “trampelled in the dirt, never to rise again.” Gee, those friendships of convenience sure do present some problems of hypocrisy, don’t you think?

    He has taught little kids in Head Start to adults in college.

    This was a menace a long time ago. He has just changed his methods. That’s all.

    And Obama was more than just neighbors. Obama was lying to Clinton and the world!

    It’s the game the Dems and their hangers-on chose over the last 8 years…the more militant (and a lot of the not-so-militant) of the right will, of course, retaliate in like kind (though I do hope they’re a LITTLE classier about it). If the Dems couldn’t see THAT coming, they’re not smart enough to hold elective office.

    I predict that if Obama wins a second term, it will be a squeaker. If the Repubs don’t take the presidency and at least one house of congress by the end of his first term, they will certainly do it by the end of his second.

    In the meantime, invest in popcorn. The show is about to begin.

    Their political views aside, the chief difference between Timothy McVeigh and Billy Ayers is that McVeigh had sufficient personal courage to act upon his beliefs. Billy was just a wannabe…a poseur who let others take the risks. Now, years later, Billy continues to pose and preen, and to feed upon the largess of a society that he despises. In a wiser world, we’d call Billy Ayers a parasite, and deal with him accordingly.

    Obama is a liar, and like Ayers he gets by on a technicality. In Obama’s case the technicality is that the media also lies to cover for him.

    Yes, but an Ayers in charge of DHS or DOJ or Dept of Education or a new Civil Homeland Defense Force larger than the US Military (”Funded to a level higher than the US Military with more people than the military,” Barak Obama), well that makes this another issue all together does it not? We have to have this well funded and large size militia to defend the “People” from well, just what, within the US?

    You will have Communism on your doorstep then.

    No more Republicans - re-education camps (heard of Pol Pot?), just look up all “General Opposition Party” members on the voter rolls and re-educate them,

    no more freedom of speech - not politically correct speech is that of racists and terrorists and needs to be prosecuted, oh heck, just eliminate them like Stalin or Beria did as treasonous, get that signed confession first of how treasonous they were first, using “hazing”, no use torture they are sub-human,

    no more freedom of movement - national ID cards with info on where you work and live and are allowed to go and above all political affiliation - “your papers/ID card please”,

    police and apparatchiks at every street corner and internet web site - we must spy on everyone since they may be treasonous or a terrorist, enemies of the state and people, - that is Communism/Fascism.

    This was practiced by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mussolini, etc, and is practiced today in Venezuela, Cuba, China, North Korea, Burma, and various others.

    All for the best interests of the People (well party members really). Look at “re-distibution of wealth” (straight out of Das Kapital by Karl Marx) Sound familiar? What Obama stated that phrase? Look at Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and Cuba (the leaders have become fantastically wealthy - to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars of personal wealth - look at Fortune’s list of wealthiest country leaders to see this) from their “nationalized industries”, the people, well they can live on a couple of thousand $s a year, equally distributed.

    Funny how that works.

    So have you joined the Democratic party yet? You may regret it, if you don’t, some day soon there will be the knock on the door at 4:00am in your neighborhood. Your neighbors will wonder what happened and why but will not dare say anything because that would make them tomorrow’s night pickups.

    You think they are not grooming Ayers for power? Think again.

    This is what Ayres is all about. His past and current actions are and have been along these lines as much as possible. Remember that as head of such an agency he will not personally kill or inter anyone, that will be someone elses job…

    So the Dems and the media want to “rehabilitate” him by putting him and his “sanitized message” on TV - “rehabilitate” a term which in communist-speak means: get him ready to install into a position of power. Hitler and Stalin and Mao had their “hatchet men” so will Obama if Ayers is installed. If not Ayers it will be someone else.

    Ayers is more highly educted

    McVeigh was more competent

    McVeigh was duly and justly executed for his crimes under a Republican President, while the investigation into Ayers was bungled during Dem Admins - and then some of his cohorts were pardonned by the Clinton Admin.

    Matty,

    There you go - libeling others without facts. A typical commmunist style of ad hominem attack. Belittle your enemies, make them look ridiculous. Facts are not necessary - would not want to make them public. If they are against communism/socialism they must be deranged.

    Sounds like it. You fit the bill.

    Socialist/Communist, sympathize with Ayers? Have a little Bush Derangement Syndrome yourself? Or is it now Republican Derangement Syndrome - anything Republican must be bad…we need to get rid of it, that is the next step, is it not? According to Ayers historically and currently it IS the next step.

    You must agree with that. It is in your own logic.

    Equating people with derangement.

    You on the other hand know better and must get rid of the opposition. A typical Communist/Fascist argument. You would make Goebbels proud. You would make the Communist “useful idiot list”. You must realize that Defaming people is how Communists/Fascists pick those they eliminate? That open discussion is not allowed in such regimes? You show such leanings.

    Help! I feel like I’m about to impose a theocracy with all this morality and stuff.

    So what would I do if I met Ayers? I’d place a hand on a weapon in my pocket and wait, and watch just like I’d do with a rattlesnake because he’s a dangerous lunatic. Phew! I feel better. I made a decision based on personal survival issues rather than morality.

    Oh, wait, personal survival is part of morality. Oh me oh my, whatever shall I do?

    And, oh Matty, while it is true that John Calvin argued that it was better to choose the leader who was evil and prudent over the leader who was righteous and imprudent, it really is more important for a person to be good than to be smart. Saruman was smart. Frodo was good.
