"William Ayers and Barack Obama, precocious terrorist
By George Harris, Kansas City Star Readers Advisory Panel 2008
At an age when most of us were learning to match socks, Barack Obama apparently was well on his way to consorting with terrorists.
Obama was eight years old when Weather Underground domestic terrorist William Ayers was plotting to bomb the Pentagon to stop the war in Vietnam. The precocious Obama, born in Hawaii, apparently maintained an affinity toward Ayers and, decades later in 1995, bought a house in Chicago to be near where Ayers lived. Ayers is now on the faculty in a university education department in Chicago.
Obama then cleverly inveigled himself onto two philanthropic boards with Ayers, and the two of them have used the cover of working to improve education in Chicago to conceal their conspiratorial plans. As political consultant Dick Morris pointed out in a recent article, ?After Walter Annenberg?s foundation offered several hundred million dollars to American public schools in the mid-90?s, William Ayers applied for $50 million for Chicago.?
The wealthy Annenberg Foundation was apparently too liberal to detect the potential for terrorism in the grant request, which Obama was selected to administer. Annenberg has concealed his true nature under a mask of Reagan conservatism.
Walter Annenberg is also known for his contributions to schools of communication at the University of Southern California and the University of Pennsylvania. Since Annenberg was consorting with the terrorist Ayers, clearly these schools of communication must also now be suspected.
Since their work together on ?philanthropic? activities, Ayers has been a major force in Obama?s rise to prominence, hosting a meet and greet gathering at his home for Obama and donating $200 to Obama?s campaign.
Sarah Palin charges that Obama is ?palling around with terrorists.? But the charges in this heated political campaign are flying back and forth. Obama retorts that Palin is keeping company with known deregulators. And McCain, with somewhat of a tin ear, says that Obama is consorting with known professors.
The genius displayed by Obama at such an early age is impressive. I was well into high school before I locked onto the idea that socks have a right side out, but even while in grade school, Obama was clearly planning his march to power, concealing his terrorist leanings with work on programs to aid education and help people who have lost their jobs.
Perhaps most impressive is Obama?s dogged determination and the development of his oratorical skills, which divert attention from his true mission, the destruction of the planet.
As intimated by Senator McCain in the presidential debate, Obama first had intended to destroy America?s financial markets but recently recognized that this goal had already been accomplished without much effort on his part."
the first comment:
"Roland Martin on a CNN ticker blog (10-08-08) aptly pointed out that there does seem to be a double standard in the McCain camp regarding guilt by association. Consider U.S. Senators ?working alongside people with virulent bigoted pasts like Sens. Jesse Helms, Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd?? All of whom spoke very hateful and venomous words about our countrymen. Byrd was once a member of the KKK, a domestic terrorist organization! Thurmond ran for president as a Dixiecrat in 1948 with a platform of maintaining segregation. Helms didn't see blacks as full Americans. ?So, did McCain work with them? Did he not speak with them? Should McCain have declared that he would not work alongside these men because of their past? Should the self-described maverick who believes in integrity and character have taken the honorable stance of resigning from the Senate to protest these hateful characters serving in the U.S. Senate?. . . No. And this is why this association argument is so weak and impotent."
