Candidate, connections need to be questioned

Bill Ayers, a radical founder of the Weathermen, was quoted in The New York Times on Sept. 11, 2001, as saying: "'I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough.'"
Yet as Ayers feared, a shocked nation writhing in collective pain might not be receptive to a terrorist's lament about missed explosive hits.
Three days after the devastating strike on American soil, which bled human beings of life and buried the minds that kept the Wall Street economy humming, Ayers equivocated.
"My memoir (Fugitive Days) is from start to finish a condemnation of terrorism ... whether driven by fanaticism or official policy," Ayers said in an Oct. 4 New York Times article.
"Fugitive Days" lays bare a leftist's braggadocio on acts that should have made Ayers hang his head in shame. Ayers "peed on the Pentagon (and) ... burned ... (his) draft card..."
Ayers flashed a ring wrought from the 500th U.S. plane shot down by enemy encounters - a gift from a National Liberation Front leader.
Was it John McCain's mission that met hostile fire? McCain spent five and a half years in a Vietnam encampment and, to date, still cannot lift his arms as a result of the torture endured.
Meanwhile, Ayers went into spasms of glee as water gushed forth, disabling computers and, subsequently, "disrupting the air war," because of the Weathermen's Pentagon bombing.
In describing the Days of Rage, Ayers fumes over Chicago Mayor Daley (Sr.) pre-empting the destructive path of an American "Kristallnacht." Though glass shattered, shuttering business doors and diminishing wage earners' paychecks, Ayers denigrates the cops as "pigs" (28 of which were injured) who dared to make subsequent arrests.
In addition, the Weathermen were responsible for a pipe bomb death and severe injury of two police officers in San Francisco and during a Brinks robbery two officers and a guard met a violent end.
While assembling nail bombs intended to cause havoc during a military dance at Fort Dix, bombs accidently detonated, killing three, according to the Oct. 4 New York Times article.
With the FBI on their tails, the Weathermen went into hiding, hence the Weather Underground.
Is it any wonder that Sen. Hilary Clinton questioned the Obama/Ayers connection? After all, no one twisted Obama's hand to set off his bid for an Illinois senator at Ayer's house.
Nor did Obama need to voluntarily sign onto the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) education board as one of five members, Ayers being a member and founder.
According to a Sept. 23 Wall Street Journal article, the CAC does not foster math or science, but is a hotbed of radical ideologies, funneling money into left wing community organizers as, e.g., the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, a.k.a. ACORN.
Obama tells us on page 30 of "The Audacity of Hope:" "If I had no immediate reasons to pursue revolution ... nevertheless in style and attitude I, too, could be a rebel ... " The rebel call is for a change in a socialist overthrow of a capitalist democracy.
The trick of divide and conquer, whether on a racial or economic divide, is not particularly new, only the trickster changes.
With the economic 30's milieu repeating, Obama's call to spread the wealth foments a class war, even as Adolf Hitler exploited "Bolshevik" Jews' wealth for political gain.
Hitler also disassociated himself from the brown shirts at the prompting of the president of the Weimar Republic, Paul von Hindenburg, even as Obama expediently scraped the Rev. Wright after 20 years of not objecting to Wright's anti-white and anti-American sermons.
There is an old Jewish saying, fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
