And he’s right. 9/11 was a crisis used by the Bush administration to concentrate power, minimize civil rights and attack Iraq. Read the Shock Doctrine for a detailed explanation of how gov’ts use the shock of a crisis to quickly pass laws that the populace would normally wouldn’t tolerate.

How far are you willing to take that step into what I consider the abyss of violence? And we really never did,

Again he’s right. During his involvement in the Weatherman no one was killed other than three members when a bomb exploded prematurely. In comparison to the violence of CONINTELPRO, the Vietnam War, Kent State and the Chicago police, his acts pale in comparison.

In the interview, conducted three years after the September 11 attacks, Ayers argued the U.S. government had carried out “many other acts of terror … even recently, that are comparable,” and claimed he and his bomb-planting comrades were “restrained” in their actions.

Ayers, now a professor at the University of Illinois, Chicago, served with Barack Obama on the board of the charitable Woods Fund of Chicago for three years and helped launch Obama’s political career in Illinois by hosting in his Hyde Park home an informal campaign event for the future state senator in 1995.

Ayers claimed the Weathermen were driven by “hope and love,” not despair, and said he did not think the group’s violent acts, targeting federal officials and local law enforcement officers, were “a big deal.”

You don’t live here, you have little to do with our country – YOU from the outside trying to look in, with very little visibility to what we are about – socialism obscuring the view – it’s a common problem with those who live to the north of us, nothing to be alarmed about, but nevertheless we do try to accommodate.

It would accomplish little to try and instruct you as to why Ayers would be significant. I’m certain McCain would love to have your input into his thoughts about any of these characters, you being so accomplished. LOL

Try to keep up, even though you don’t get it.

Rezko vs Keating Five — a loss in the McCain column

Ayers — to drag up Ayers past risks the Democrats dragging the pasts of McCain’s associates including their lobbying ties, Jack Abramoff, and others. Essentially, McCain needs to be very careful using guilt by association.

Rashid Khalidi — a prof he knew through his wife work, to tie Obama through Khalidi to Iran requires more hoops than the public attention span can tolerate.

I certainly knew the date of the article when I posted it. Yes it was written during the primaries, so what? – it also shows the connections Obama had/has that’s the whole point -

The middle quote from my post #89, is priceless –

—–“Obama’s untested achilles heel is his relationship with three men — Tony Rezko, William Ayers, and Rashid Khalidi. These names will become shorthand for Corruption, Terrorism, and the Destruction of Israel. Oh yes, I know. I am going to extremes. Well, let me lay out the facts and explain how the Republicans will likely use these relationships to bludgeon Obama’s presidential aspirations into dust. My challenge to you Obama supporters is to explain to me and other readers of this blog how Obama will defuse these issues.” —–

Larry C Johnson was a registered Republican and facilitator of the “Michelle Obama” whitey tape rumour which isn’t anywhere to be found. Through his connections with Orrin Hatch, he was hired by the CIA. He supported Bush in 2000 but became disenchanted with Bush due to the Plame affair. He maintains a right wing attitude in foreign affairs and the intelligence community.

The article you cite lacks substance — Ayers — i;ve discussed; Rezko – chicago politics I see your Rezko and raise you the Keating Five, Khalid — loose association with a U of C prof; the nature of his and his wife’s work leads to many of these loose associations.

“Obama’s mantra, “Yes, We Can” is inspiring and heartwarming, but in the end is an empty phrase that will founder once the Republican political attack machine spins up. I realize that most Obamatons are so wedded to his vision of hope that any effort to point out the cracks in the foundation of the new Democratic Savior are met with fury and disdain.”

“Feelings of hope and inspiration about Obama will evaporate when the commercials tying him to a convicted felon slumlord, an unrepentant terrorist who hates the troops, and a Professor of Middle Eastern Studies who has been a PLO official spouting anti-Israeli rhetoric. Oh, YES THEY WILL! YES, THEY WILL.”
