Unrepentant Domestic Terrorist Influence On Barack Obama

Unrepentant Domestic Terrorist Bill Ayers and his wife, fellow terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, have had a long term relationship with Barack Obama. Although this relationship is well known, the paper trail is being hidden even from the main stream press. H/T to Cynical Optimist for the following:

Bill Ayers in a known terrorist from the 60’s. He wasn’t just some random hippie that protested the war and got high. He blew stuff up. With bombs. He’s unrepentant even as of 2001 when he told the New York Times, “I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough.” From Wikipedia . . .

So what does this have to do with anything? Well, it happens that Barack Obama has had a long term relationship with Ayers and his wife. The key to the story is Obama’s stated position that Ayers is just a “guy who lives in my neighborhood,” when, actually, the relationship is much deeper than that. Ayers and his wife, fellow terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, held a campaign event for Obama in 1995 at the Ayers home. This is supposedly where they first met, but the record, at this point, isn’t clear. At the time of this meeting Obama was already the chairman of a foundation, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which Ayers had formed. Obama served as chairman of the board for three years and continued as a member until the foundation was closed in 2001.

They also served together on the board of Woods Fund, another foundation. Obama was a director of the board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002. Ayers is still a member. This organization provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network in 2001, with a second grant of $35,000 in 2002. This organization was co-founded by Rashid Khalidi, an Arab who has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group. Khalidi also held at least one fundraiser for Obama. Source

Additionally, Ayers and Obama served together on panels together at numerous speaking events throughout the years. There are records which may reveal additional details of the relationship but they are being suppressed. As the Associated Press reported yesterday: Source . . .

So, it’s apparent that Ayers is not just a “guy who lives in my neighborhood.” Obama’s attempts to minimize this relationship are disturbing and calls into question his truthfulness on the matter. The suppression of the records, even if only temporarily while they are cleansed, is equally disturbing. Combine all that with Obama’s relationships with other radicals, such as his Pastor Rev. Wright, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis and who knows who else, and we are left with a lot of questions which need to be answered. Questions which Barack Obama doesn’t want to answer.
