Barack Obama’s Cop-Killer Supporters By Jim Kouri While Barack Obama’s friends and supporters in the news media downplay his friendship and business relationship with former terrorist and Marxist university professor Willam Ayers, one aspect of the Ayers terrorism saga that’s totally ignored is his reputation as a cop-killer. For instance, in Nyack, New York, Ayers’ terrorist group the Weather Underground launched an armored-car robbery that left two Nyack, NY police officers—Officer Waverly Brown and Sergeant Ed O’Grady—mortally wounded. In addition, the Brinks armored-car driver, Peter Paige was also shot to death by the Weathermen. Quite simply, Ayers’ group of killers left five children without fathers as a result of the brutal and vicious armored car robbery. Progressives for Obama signatories include Weathermen Howard Machtinger, Jeff Jones, Steve Tappis and Mark Rudd. Machtinger helped author the the mission statement of the Weathermen that called for revolutionaries within the United States to wage a ‘people’s war’ and attack from within. The government would fall and ‘world communism’ eventually would be instituted. In addition to the New York police officers killed, a 1970 pipe bomb in San Francisco set by the group killed another police officer and critically wounded yet another cop. When given the opportunity to serve on boards and appear at press conferences with Ayers, an up-and-coming politician named Barack Obama jumped at the chance. Recently released records from the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois, Chicago show that Obama and Ayers attended board meetings, retreats and press conferences from 1995 to 2001 as directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Another major fundraiser for Obama is William Ayers, who also sat on the board of the Woods Fund with Obama and is a professor at the University of Chicago. Bill Ayers—along with his wife Bernadine Dohrn—was an active member of the Weather Underground, a radical left-wing group that advocated violence against the United State. Both Ayers and Dohrn went “underground” in 1970 after others in the group accidentally detonated a bomb in a Greenwich Village (New York City) townhouse. The blast killed three of the group’s members including Ayers’ girlfriend at the time. While Ayers and Dohrn were hiding from law enforcement, the Weather Underground participated in the bombings of the US Capital, the Pentagon and a State Department building. In 1981 Ayers and Dohrn turned themselves in to federal authorities, but all charges were dropped as a result of alleged “government legal misconduct.” In his 2001 memoir, Ayers wrote, “I don’t regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” Ayers and Dohrn are known to have held at least one fundraiser for Barack Obama in their Chicago home. During Obama’s last year on the board of The Woods Fund (2002), he participated in awarding grants, including a $70,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, a Chicago-based group founded by Rashid and Mona Khalidi. In another suspected quid pro quo arrangement similar to those with Ayers and Rezko, Rashid Khalidi also held a fundraising event in his home for Barack Obama. In the Middle East, Rashid Khalidi was known as a man to be reckoned with. From 1972 through 1983, Khalidi was the director in Beirut of the official Palestinian press agency, FAFA. His wife worked there as well. According to sources who served in the US Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, when the Khalidi’s left Chicago for Columbia University in New York, Rashid was honored with the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies at that Ivy League university. Their goodbye party in Chicago included testimonials from Bill Ayers and Barack Obama. |

I guess today's the day it starts. Every wingnut blog is going to run something today or tomorrow. Fox News will have a special report. Drudge will get his red light out. Wouldn't it be easier to come up with a plan for the country, you know, something the voters don't find abhorent? |

I guess those fcukwits at GOP central decided they can't beat Obama, so maybe they'd run against Bill Ayers instead. The problem is, all the people stupid enough to fall for that are already McCain supporters. |

It might have been good if the Democrat Party had come up with a candidate without all these shaky associations. You can be sure that if it was a Republican in similar circumstances he would have never gotten the nomination and those calling for radio silence on Obama now would have been shouting about them from the rooftops from day 1. |

Are you going to , with a straight face, tell this board that if McCain had these sorts of associations in his past they would never be brought up by you or others on the left? Please. |

The Rezco association is a little unfortunate. But Bill Ayers cop-killing days seem to be behind him. If he intended on nominating them to run Treasury and Homeland Security, it would be a show stopper in my book. |

I don't have a straight face. I'm smiling at the McCain camp's desperation. But seriously, I'm sure they would be brought up. But they would only become the center of our strategy if we didn't have a prayer of winning on the issues. In other words, were really no different from you guys. |

Oh come on, either candidate will change the platform to whatever the daily polls say. This has been done by both over and over and over. It's OK to talk about the candidate. In fact it is more important than any platform issue. Continuing to say Mr. Obama's long list of negatives is out of bounds is just plain silly. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I would hope that someone would bring up such association's in McCain's background. |

I agree it has very little chance of passage, even in a split congress. But the mere fact that its on his agenda is to me far worse than being on the same board with a U of I professor who used to be a radical. |
