”I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. ”I feel we didn’t do enough.”

So, would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? ”I don’t want to discount the possibility,” he said.

Why is Obama Hiding the Truth About William Ayers? Follow the Money - No Quarter

[…]In the aftermath of the ABC debate, no one in the mainstream media has dared probe into this relationship. The most informative article to appear since then has been written by Steve Diamond, law professor on the faculty of Santa Clara University School of Law in Santa Clara, California, on his blog, on April 22. None of what he reports has appeared in any major media outlet.

Here are key excerpts from Diamond’s report:

So, who “sent” Obama? The key I think is his ties…to the family of (in)famous former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers – not just Bill Ayers, but Bill’s father Tom Ayers and his brother John as well. Obama was a community organizer from about 1985 to 1988, when he left for Harvard Law School. . . .

Active in the local control-from-below side of this effort was Bill Ayers who had returned to Chicago in 1987 as a professor of education at the University of Illinois’ Chicago Circle campus, after surfacing from the underground, as well as Barack Obama’s Developing Communities Project (DCP). . . .

Thus, Bill Ayers was a vigorous advocate of local control along with a related concept called “small schools,” most likely because he believes it gives him the potential to build a political base from which to operate. He has discussed these ideas in speeches and writings on his blog. As he said in a speech he gave in front of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela in late 2006: “Teaching invites transformations, it urges revolutions small and large. La educacion es revolucion!” . . . .

In the fall of 1988, however, Obama left the city to go off to law school. My best guess, though, is that it was in that 86-88 time frame that Obama likely met up with the Ayers family. I will explain why I believe that in a minute. Interestingly, after his first year in law school Obama returned in the summer of 1989 to work as a summer associate at the prestigious Chicago law firm of Sidley & Austin. This in and of itself is a bit unusual. Very few top-tier law students work for big law firms during their first summer. The big law firms discourage it because if you work for them in the first summer you are likely to work for a second firm the following year and then the firms have to compete to get you.

So, why or how did Obama — at that point not yet the prominent first black president of the Harvard Law Review (that would happen the following year) — end up at Sidley?

Coincidentally, or not, Sidley had been long time outside counsel to Commonwealth Edison. The senior Sidley partner who was their key outside counsel, Howard Trienens, was a member of the board of trustees of Northwestern alongside Tom Ayers (as well as Sidley partner Newton Minow). Coincidentally, or not, Bernardine Dohrn worked at Sidley also, hired there in the late 1980s, many contend, through the intervention of Tom Ayers, even though she is not a member of the bar (as far as I can tell) because of her past jail time for Weather Underground activities. . . .

It is highly unlikely that a 30-something second-year lawyer would have been plucked from relative obscurity out of a left wing law firm to head up something as visible and important in Chicago as the Annenberg Challenge by Bill Ayers — unless Ayers had not already known Obama very well. Obama likely proved himself to Ayers in the battle for local school control when at the DCP in the 80s.

One guess as to why Obama does not play up his educational experience more thoroughly now -– it certainly could be of use to him one would think in beefing up his “I have the experience to be President” argument -– is that it would lead to a renewed discussion of the Bill Ayers connection, which is clearly toxic for Obama. This likely explains why Obama tried a kind of head fake when asked about Ayers in the recent TV debate. Obama said Ayers was a “professor of english.” Yet, Obama chaired the Annenberg Challenge for three years and served on its board for another three years, working closely with Ayers on grants to Chicago schools. And he did not know that Ayers was a professor of education? That strains credulity.

One final curiosity:

Here’s yet another bizarre incident involving Ayers, reported in The New Yorker in 2001. Did Obama happen to be at this neighborhood event? We imagine he wouldn’t recall.

Dohrn teaches law at Northwestern University and is, at fifty-nine, still notably glamorous. Ayers, who is fifty-six, teaches education at the University of Illinois at Chicago; his business card reads “Distinguished Professor, University Scholar, Educator, Activist, Peacemaker, Flash-of-Lightning.” The night I got to Chicago, the couple was giving a party, timed to coincide with the booksellers’ convention, which was being held downtown… Ayers’s memoir, titled “Fugitive Days,” is coming out this fall, and he was handing his guests promotional stick-on tattoos of the Weatherman symbol–a three-colored rainbow crossed by a lightning bolt. He showed me a larger version of the symbol tattooed on his upper back.

It is of vital importance to clarify Barack’s relationship with Ayers. This is not a casual relationship. It is not a recent relationship. And, as reported in an earlier piece on this blog, Ayers has not changed his tune of political radicalism. I don’t challenge his right to believe such things, but Ayers certainly does not reflect the views of most Americans, both Democrats and Republicans. Why is Barack lying about this relationship? That is the question voters deserve to have asked and answered.

By the Numbers: Cable Nets Boost Biden, Trash Palin
By Matthew Sheffield (Bio | Archive)
September 3, 2008 - 00:08 ET

Now that the dust has settled on both parties’ vice presidential picks, it’s time to take a look at how the media treated Joe Biden and Sarah Palin in the crucial early hours after they were announced as running mates.

This analysis is the first of several “Quick Study” reports we’ll be running this election season to give a snapshot of press coverage, primarily through the lens of cable television.

Looking at the transcripts of CNN, FNC, and MSNBC during the two “primetime” hours of the day John McCain and Barack Obama announced their running mates, a trend becomes quite clear: The media were much more likely to report negative information about the Alaskan Palin than the Delawarean Biden.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Perhaps unsurprisingly given its decision to market itself as the network of the far left, MSNBC was the most unfair of the cable news channels. After Democrats learned Biden would be their vice presidential nominee August 23rd, MSNBC aired 47 positive statements about Obama’s running mate. The network aired just 4 about Sara Palin when she was announced August 29th, making it 12 times more likely to praise Biden than Palin.

MSNBC skewed leftward when it came to negative information about McCain’s running mate. It aired 20 negative statements about Palin and 14 about Biden.

Compared to CNN and MSNBC, Fox News was the fairest network. Biden was the recipient of more positive statements than Palin (25 versus 15) but he was also the recipient of more negative statements (31 versus 10).

As for CNN, while the first cable news channel was not as effusive in its praise of Biden as MSNBC (the network aired 29 positive statements about the Democrat versus 15 about Palin), it actually outstripped MSNBC in attacking Sarah Palin.

Particularly notable in the negativity department for CNN was Campbell Brown who repeatedly slammed Palin, making a point to question her experience as she did just after 8pm on August 29th:

Political insiders were pretty impressed when there was all this talk about who was on McCain’s short list of vp candidates. Most pretty well-known Republicans, but he didn’t choose any of them. Instead everybody now getting to know Alaska Governor Sarah Palin tonight. Some are calling this a pretty risky move by Senator McCain.

John McCain has said that he would pick a running mate who would be able to step into the president’s shoes on day one. I don’t have to tell you, Sarah Palin’s only been governor for less than two years. Of all the Republicans out there, is she really the most qualified person to be commander in chief in a crisis?

Brown also seemed to focus on how McCain’s pick of Palin somehow undermined his case against Barack Obama for being inexperienced (ignoring the fact that being ready to be president is quite different from being ready to be vice president).

“So much of your campaign’s case against Senator Obama has focused on how little time that he’s been in the Senate and how inexperienced he is on matters of international affairs, on military affairs. I mean, doesn’t naming Governor Palin as his running mate undermine your entire argument against Senator Obama?” she asked McCain strategist Michael Duhaime.

Brown continued her negativity this week, getting into a verbal spat with GOP strategist Tucker Bounds which was so notable, it caught the attention of McCain himself who canceled an interview with Brown’s CNN colleague Larry King over the incident. She hardly appears to be alone as a quick glance at the NewsBusters home page shows.

“I would rather listen to “Girlicious”, any day, than to some Liberal Seattle band, dressed like lumberjacks, crtyuing and whining, trying to convince me they’re suicidal adepressed, when they’re rich, young, famous, and getting all the pussy they want. Or the Dicks Chicks, or Barbara Streisand, telling us the world is all doomy and gloomy, and it’s Republicans fault that there are sick people. Hey, didn’t Ms. Streisand PROMISE she would move to Canadaif Pres. Bush beat Al Gore? And aAGAIN, if he beat John “Herman Munster” Kerry? When is she goin?”
The wisest rocker on the planetr., Haaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!

First, I would like to say, once again, Hello, to all the gang, here at fullpolitics.com. Believe it or not, I missed you. Some of you may remember me, I was known as “jollie”, in a previous life. The new setup here wouldn’t let me sign in under my old name.
Hello, SR, and other Conservatives/Common Sense Advocates. I’m so glad to see this site hasn’t gone the way of so many one-sided, brain-dead “political chat”. I was always glad there were all manner of Political Animals here.

I hope you are all well, here in America, the Greatest and Freest Nation Ever to sit on God’s Good Earth. I know you are all unscathed by further Islamo-Fascisist Terrorist attacks, since Sept. 11, 2001. Thank GOD we elected, and RE-elected George W. Bush. What he lacks in Public Speaking ability, he MORE than makes up for in courage to face our enemies who would kill us all if they could, and the BALLS to take the fight to THEM, in Afghanistan and Iraq, instead of pulling a Jimmah Carter/Slick Willie/Barack Obama move of sitting here WAITING for the next attack, like Bill Clinton did after USS Cole, Embassy Bombings, etc, letting Bin Laden go free to hide in Tora Bora, in miles of 2,000 year-old caves. But he gave us a reason: “Ah asked Sudan to hold him, buht we jest din’t have the jurisdictshun! Whut could ah do? Ah had mah hands FULL, what with sexually molesting females in the White House halls, takin’ care of Monica, and duckin’ from Hillary throwin’ lamps at mah haid!”

So yes, we have been kept safe from further enemy attacks on our soil. BUT, you say, gasoline is $4 a gallon, and people are losing their houses! Now I KNOW some people are unemployed, and some are fighting to keep their houses. But you ever notice, that YOU, and your neighbor, and most of your freinds, are doing OK, but if you listen to Democrats, the WHOLE COUNTRY is Starving, Unemployed, Homeless, all victimes of Evil Republicans, who own all the banks, of course, and everything else. Democrats don’t own or control ANYTHING, they’re just helpless VICTIMS. Even though, the Kennedys, the Rockerfellers, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, etc, etc., are all known Democrats.
And ever notice how Democrat “leaders” (and I DO use the term loosely) are ALWAYS full of Doom-and-Gloom, unless there’s a Democrat, like Carter, in the White House, destroying our economy, the Military, setting us up for future rip-offs from OPEC? During Bush 41, when he TOLD eveyone the ecomomy was turning around, lying Dems said “NO, you’ll DIE, unless you put Clinton in office!”, just like they’re telling us NOW, about putting that “Community Organizer”, who can’t SPEAK, without a script and a Tel-e-Prompter, into the Presidency!

And the funny-if-it-wasn’t-SAD part is, this BLAME, for your hemmoroids, and your child’s skinned knee, that Democrats, and their organs, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, put on ANY Republican President, is ALWAYS while DEMOCRATS HELD THE REAL POWER, OF CONGRESS, AND THE PURSE STRINGS, TAXATION, REGULATION, ETC.!!!

So today, everyone, I want you to think. REALLY think, and tell me, WHEN, in our ENTIRE HISTORY, have you had a Presidential race between: a Man, who has fought corruption in BOTH Parties, has fought against and disagreed with HIS OWN PARTY, which in Washington, is usually Political Suicide, unless it was so Overwhelmingly for the Good of the People, who is a War Hero, who can’t raise his arms over his head, having them broken and re-broken by the Communist North Vietnamese, for NOT saying America was Bad and Evil (something Barack and Michelle Obama will say with NO prodding)- a race between THIS man, who wants low taxes, more jobs, wants YOU, not Washington, to have choice which doctor, kid’s school, etc., you’ll use, and……..
His Opponent, a “Community Organizer” from Chicago Machine Politics, who tells us to “Hope for Change” by voting for him.Yeah. A guy, who as a STATE SENATOR, found the job SO TOUGH, the decisions SO HARD, he was too cowardly to vote, and voted “Present”, ONE-HUNDRED-AND THIRTY-SEVEN TIMES! A STATE SENATOR! And as a Rookie U.S. Senator, he voted for EVERY SINGLE TAX INCRESE THAT CAME ACROSS HIS EYES, EVERY CHANCE HE GOT. He is “The Most Liberal Senator in U.S. Senate” judged by a Liberal Organization.
He counts as his good buddies a Crooked Real Estate Indicted Felon, a Virulent Racist “Pastor” he gave $30,000 to, and TRIED TO TELL AMERICA HE NEVER HEARD RACIST VIES, SITTING IN THE PEWS 20 YEARS, A “CHURCH” THAT GAVE AN AWRD TO LOUIS WRATH-OF-FARRAKHAN! Just for that Outright LIE to the American People, he should be disqualified. And of course, this man Obama, who’s going to protect us from Terrorist Bombers, the way George W. did, HE HAS A BUDDY NAMED WILLIAM AYERS, WHO BOMBED THE PENTAGON, FEDERAL BLDNGS, BANKS, AND BRAGS ABOUT “GETTING OFF ON A TECHNICALITY”!

So which one (it’s such a ridiculous question, I can’t believe I’m asking it, it’s like…..”The Bizzarro World”, where Black is White, Up is Down) will make a better President of the Most Important Country on Earth? Hmmmmmmmm?

Oh yeah- I heard some nutjob wackos in Manhatten, making a mockery out of the somber observance of 3,000 innocent Americans Butchered and Burned to death, and to celebrate 7 years of Peace in America, thanks to Republicans like G.W.Bush, John McCain, and Sarah Palin, no thanks to Defeatists Democrats like Obama and Biden,

I heard the Psychos yelling “911 was inside Job”, and some as_hole said “There’s been White House tapes released that show Bush planned it all!” Funny, Dan Rather, CNN, NBC, or ABC didnt tell us! One guess what Party these Wack-Jobs belong to, Haaaaaaaaahahahahahahah!
