H/t to John Murtagh, the New York attorney and professor whose family was victimized by the Weatherman lead by Chicago's radical relic Billy Ayers.
Silvio Canto of My View by Silvio Canto writes this:
Again, no one is holding Obama responsible for what Ayers did in 1970. At the same time, why is Obama hanging around with people like Ayers, specially after what he told The NY Times on 9-11-2001!
Ayers was not convicted because of a legal technicality. He was very lucky. However, it does not take away from the domestic terrorism that he practiced.
Today, Ayers is a college professor with strong ties to the Chicago left. He blessed Obama's candidacy years ago. Like Rev. Wright, Ayers opened a lot of doors for Obama in Chicago.
Again, I don't blame Obama because Ayers bombed a few buildings years ago. Nevertheless, I do wonder why Obama hung around with so many radical lefties.
What was it about the "radical left" that attracted Obama so much?
Get ready for Ayers: He is the next big chicken to come home to roost!
Ed Morrissey has the last word on this:
"As Murtaugh notes, the fact that they remain unrepentant about their terrorism makes it exponentially worse.
Ayers refuses to acknowledge that bombing people like the Murtaughs to subvert the judicial system and to force political change he couldn’t achieve through the ballot is, in fact, terrorism.
As late as last November, Dohrn continued to call for the “overthrow of capitalism”, while Ayers approvingly quoted Mao henchman Chou En-Lai while hysterically warning of an “unimaginable authoritarianism” in the US.
For a politician with no track record, Obama wants us to rely on his judgment.
Working with domestic terrorists who targeted not just public buildings but children like John Murtaugh makes that judgment highly suspect.
Obama claims it ancient history because it happened when he was eight.
Murtaugh feels fortunate that his assassins failed in ending his life at nine.
It’s not ancient history to him, nor should it be for the rest of us."
Mr. Canto presents the case for the more halting journalists picking up paychecks - the point is, as with Rev. Wright, the issue of choosing to cozy up with people who actively parade their contempt for American values. Those who will do and say anything to undermine any and all faith in our government and, more importantly, devalue the historical record in order to conform with a radical agenda that seeks to undo our Republic.
Ayers, Dorhn, and Wright share a comfortable and elite life in the very society they profess to hate. The real villains are those who make their lives so comfortable and insulated.
