ABC News released
this report which is the basis of this post.
Don’t be taken in. Ayers and Obama are soul mates through the common bond of Saul Alinsky. Part of the Alinsky approach is, first you need to obtain the power, then you can bring about the Revolution. As recently as 2001 Ayers showed his contempt for the USA with the infamous photo of him proudly stomping on the American flag.
Ayers undoubtedly realizes his murderous history (the Weathermen killed 3 people in an effort to raise money for their cause through armed robbery) is diminishing the chances of achieving step one, obtain power. Any Marxist true to his cause will deny even his deepest beliefs if the denial will further the cause of those deepest beliefs. Hence cometh Ayers cartoon as a means to diminish voter concerns over Obama’s relationship with an unrepentant bomber. To that end he comes close to volunteering to join grandma along with all the others already under the bus.
I hope you read the script in the cartoon. Ayers remains unrepentant. He says in essence ‘at my age people have regrets’ but he never says he has any regrets.
The third frame appears intended to deny he meant bombings when he said in 2001 “We did not do enough”. The inference is there but he stops short of denial. In the same frame he implores more people should have done more. More what ? More bombings ?
Nowhere to date has Ayers expressed any regret or condemnation for terrorist style bombings. Nor has Obama thrown Ayers under the infamous bus, at least not yet. The essence of Barack’s response to questions about the Ayers connection is “He’s just someone I know, don’t blame me for what he says”. Like Wright and Farrakhan, Obama cannot bring himself to condemn what these people stand for until political expediency demands it.
During the primaries Hillary cornered him into denying Farrakhan. Public opinion combined with Wright’s National Press Corps speech forced Obama to add Wright to the Greyhound Condominium. Thus far he has not been pressed enough on Ayers to squeeze him under there too. Obama’s reluctance to condemn these, his personal anti-American heroes, is all I need to know to decide he is not my choice to lead America.
