Barack Obama's Willie Horton

Mr. Ayers continues: "Certainly flirting with the idea of terrorism was off the tracks and a mistake. The fact that we never executed that flirtation is important and significant and I think conveniently forgotten, but we never did." In fact, Mr. Ayers and his cohorts did set off a bomb at the Pentagon. In his book, he writes: "It turns out that we blew up a bathroom and, quite by accident, water plunged below and knocked out their computers for a time, disrupting the air war and sending me into deepening shades of delight." In those four little words, "disrupting the air war," there is the dark prospect of American soldiers in jeopardy. - WSJ, 2001

Over the last several months I've been talking to many people out of Illinois, as well as people beyond Obama's stomping grounds, who knew of the connection with Barack Obama and the domestic terrorist couple Bernardine Dohrn and William Ayers.


"There's no way to be committed to non-violence in one of the most violent societies that history has ever created." Bernardine Dohrn

Ben Smith has done a piece today on the relationship. It's a story many of us have been following. The Ayers story goes back years, to Vietnam, a subject, no doubt, that John McCain will mine. After all, who better to attack the Democratic nominee than a war hero tortured while an acquaintance of Barack Obama's was "disrupting the air war" in Vietnam, while equating Marines with "terrorists."

Later in the talk, Mr. Ayers declared: "The fact is that there was an official policy of our government to create terrorism in Vietnam. . . . How you resisted that policy was a burning question, and is still a good question."

So, to recap: The Weathermen weren't terrorists, but the U.S. Marines were. Even if we accept this perverse semantic equation, the position of the Weathermen's apologists is still remarkable.


The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth won't have to make stuff up about Obama. His relationship with Ayers is a fact, as they also were both seated on a nine-member board of the Woods Fund in 1999, for three years. In lieu of that connection, even in the face of a measly $200 contribution from Ayers to Obama, as well as the Obama campaign's statement decrying Ayers' actions when he was with the terrorist group The Weather Underground, quotes like the one below from Ayers are a general election gift to your opponent, especially considering Obama has no problem sitting on a board with this thug, or taking a meeting with him when launching your political career:
