Daley On The Ayers-Obama Friendship
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 11:21 PM
The Mayor of Chicago:



"People keep trying to align [Bill Ayers] with Barack Obama. It's really unfortunate. They're friends. So what? People do make mistakes in the past. You move on. This is a new century, a new time. He reflects back and he’s been making a strong contribution to our community."



This won't fly because as recently as last fall Ayers was filmed ranting about the fascist America of today.  Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist, and Obama's friendship with him calls the nominee's judgment into question, no matter what "contribution" the terrorist has made to his community.

As many have pointed out, this is like a Republican buddying up with Eric Rudolph.  Both Ayers and Rudolph are terrorists, and both have never repented or sought to make amends to their victims.

Here's the video of Bill as the SDS Teddy Bear Picnic:

Ayers with Old Glory

Of course, when the attacks are true they are even more devestating.


You will know he is the one by the friends he hangs out with. http://marathonpundit.blogspot.com/2008/05/bill-ayers-step ping-on-us-flag-in-2001.html

no, arch
"You libtards cannot let the Nixon thing go can you?"

it's sort of like a golf game. you put Ayers in play (like a pond), and Nixon's now in play (like a sand trap).

Arch says.

Blueinredcty. Nixon never had terrorist friends. Quite a difference to the non ignorant libtard. In fact Nixon was less of a criminal than Sick Willie and never got his DNA confirmed upon a blue dress now did he? He was not a crook!!

Kimberly, you don't have any argument
that would actually defend Obama of anything so you try and tear Mc Cain down. That's what all you Libtards do. It patheitc really. I almost feel sorry for you...NOT!!

Arch says".

Laura. Libtards they are and they can prove it anytime they open their mouths to spout the mantra of the leftist talking points. I have never heard an original thought from these libtards on town hall forum. Just the same old repeat of the morons who lead them in thought control. Pathetic and evil non contributers to society, jealous losers on their own accord, worthless meal worms. You understand perfectly my friend.
MaryStella writes: Thursday, August, 21, 2008 9:32 PM
blueinredcty, seriously!
Ayers, they are terrorists.
Convicted terrorists, who blew up buildings in the United States, and bragged "wishing done more!"
President Nixon, was just a politician! That is exactly what Rev. Wright called Obama, when he was thrown under Obama's manupulative express machine.
MaryStella writes: Thursday, August, 21, 2008 1:02 PM
Kimberle, Dearest,
There was a huge, huge article on Obama's close associate and advisor, had to resign as he had very friendly ties with the government of Syria, and was still in close touch with them, that he was forced to resign immediately.
Can your beloved candidate, have better choice of friends than terrorists, who all have one thing in common, hatred of America?

Hey,
Maybe Obama & Michelle can invite Ayers and Bernadine over to the pool and they can sit around, smoke a little dope and listen to some Pete Seger music.

How's that American Petroleum Institute Lobbyist working out for the BO campaign. No lobbyists for him eh? Freakin' liar.

How's that other clown conducting unofficial diplomacy with our Syrian enemies working out for you? Freakin' traitor.

You know, having seen the way youth culutre is slowly destroying this country from the bottom up I'm starting to think the draft wouldn't be a bad idea. I seem to recall only a couple of weeks back BO had us organizing a "civilian national security force" and doubling the size of the peace corps....all this is going to be voluntary of course!!! Yeah, right. He can't even tell us what that meant. Freakin' con artist.

Stockmen's Exchange.

I suppose this is giving too much credit to even the Clintons, but I can see it going down like this. Yes, it is a mystery that they didn't use all the ammo out there against Barack. And yes, they would have looked mad to do it: The witch attacking the pretty little boy.

Barack is the "presumptive" nominee. Runs around the world making a fool of himself, revealing the dude has no clothes--or the ones he has are empty, while the cons do all the dirty work.

Obama drops in the polls, Hill makes a credible case to the supers that Obama can't win, she swoops in on her broomstick and takes the prize.

And all the stunned losers exclaim it was because of Heartland racism.

Daley Is FAR More Brain Dead Than I
imagined. His old man would reach up from the crypt and slap the snot outta sonny-boy.

It isn't just that Ayers & sweet Bernardine would have hugged & kissed John McCain's NVA torturers at the time. The POINT is that they would treat the Communist Jailers that way NOW. Duhhhhh!!! The nauseating, infuriating, posed color picture of Red-Billy Ayers standing on Old Glory in a Chicago ally for the cover of Chicago Magazine will(and should)be the centerpiece of countless Republican 527 ads in the Fall. Lefties cluttering here at HH ought to take a trip back a few weeks on Hugh's threads and find the pic...GET USED TO IT, Fools.

It's a true mystery to me that Lady MacClinton's forces didn't use it for full effect...Except, they didn't, I suppose, wish to risk pi**ing the Left-Nutters of the primaries off...And, they kept assuming, until it was too late, that they were headed for a coronation. So, HAPPILY, the Demowits are stuck with this Empty Suit of a Radical Luvin' Bantyweight with horrific thugs of the political kind in his otherwise vacuous resume...Unrepentant-Highly Visible Weather Underground Communists, Fire Breathing-America Damning Rev'runds, etc, etc.

Hey, Blue, y'all c'mon down with Tricky Dick tapes! Unless you have candidate McCain posed on his lap, you got NUTHIN'. Bu-BYEEEEEE.

Focus, Doofuses: Mister Slick-Clueless kicked off his shallow, thin political career from the living room of of 2-prominent Militant Graying Unrepentant American Communist Terrorists...AND, your side is blissfully unconcerned??

Gawd, it's just too easy. Toast. Clueless TOAST.

That ole Audacity of Hope theme
reared it's disjointed head as I viewed other related videos -- especially the one featuring B. Dohrn.

She spoke of "when hope and history rhyme" .... why, the audacity of her!

Yanno --- it's hard to BS a BS'er.

Don't even try to tell me that BO wasn't drooling at the feet of his "non-friends" when he coined the title of his book. You know, the one subtitled "The Audacity of Hype".

Be afraid, America. Don't underestimate the awe a silver-tongued plagiarist can inspire in those who are want to believe in the hypothetical!!

melanzan writes: Thursday, August, 21, 2008 8:56 AM
Sheesh, where to begin?
I was born in 1970 and in that video all I see are these dried up old hippies who have accomplished nothing in their sorry lives. They have learned nothing. They have produced nothing. They cannot hope to compete so they go and get tenured teaching positions, where they can sit back and chirp about how unfair capitalism is and how life sucks. They have contributed nothing at all to society, except to exchange similar ideas with the other radical burnouts within their own circle of friends. Yet they have the onions to preach what is best for our country.

What a sad bunch of pathetic losers.

Hey, Pol Pot liked flowers

Ana Mus writes: Thursday, August, 21, 2008 7:28 AM
Is Daley the next one to be
kicked under the bus? Remember Obama claims they weren't "friends." Obama tried to pass Ayers off as just another face in the crowd. Daley has confirmed Obama and Ayers are FRIENDS.

Obama tried to be coy by saying Ayers' kids and his kids went to school together and that was basically the extent of his "knowing" Ayers. Problem is, Ayers' kids are all grown, so just how does Obama's kids go to school with Ayers????
Joe_C writes: Thursday, August, 21, 2008 6:18 AM
Benefit of the doubt?
People wanted to give B. Hussein the benefit of the doubt that Ayres was just a Chicago right of passage. However, when they find out that their conspired for 6 years and $100 milion to overthrow the Chicago school system and make it a Marxist haven, I think people may change their minds.

Hillary may pull this off yet.
rif writes: Thursday, August, 21, 2008 2:28 AM
The cookie monster, maybe
Once again I'm left wondering why Hewitt likes to DOCUMENT proving himself delusional. Whatever he was half a century ago, Ayers at this Teddy Bear picnic last fall sounds like . . . a teddy bear. His most provocative remark is that "we're moving today toward an authoritarianism that was unthinkable 40 years ago." Which has the compensating quality of also being true. I couldn't find anywhere the "rant about fascism" that Hewitt pinned on him, though such a rant wouldn't be any more unjustified than the center-right calling lefties socialists. Look at these guys carefully, and just try to see the scary monsters that the neocons see all around them. Hugh's got demons.
Col Bat Guano writes: Thursday, August, 21, 2008 1:54 AM
Whhhaaaaatt?
Bill Ayers is making a "strong contribution to our community." How?!?!?!? By not setting bombs under Daley's car?? Laws seem to be "suggestions" to guys like Daley - and perhaps Obama?

Ditto Obama.
Any American that thinks Communism/marxism it better than this Representative Republic is beneath contempt, these card carrying traitors should be put on a ship as in the "Man Without A Country" Phillip Nolan and spend their lives within sight of the land they despise, for the rest of their natural lives..never again allowed

So what did Nixon call Theiu in that compound profanity (hint, the initials are cs).

Arch says"

And guess what Nixon was accurate about the commie Theiu with his colorful description. You libtards cannot let the Nixon thing go can you? Hell he even had college libtards shot by the national guard and many libtard hippies heads bashed in by billy clubs. He had more guts and conviction than any of you wienie libtards. Nixon was a true American and had no time for commie leftist libtards. Try again!!

People make mistakes and move on?
Ayers is unrepentent about his actions! He is sorry he didn't do more damage!

Is this guy serious?

That is pretty poor judgement of a circle to run with regardless of if the past is just the past. I don't know ANYONE whom would befriend someone whom is a confessed terrorist and isn't sorry he did it.

The libtards cannot spin out of this. It is too well documented in video, audio, and print. I believe Obammy will be as Neo says, Toasted in November.
