Picking up where Shiplap left off, I continue …

As I mentioned before, Obama has some interesting friends.  William Ayers was a founding member of the Weathermen.   This organization declared war on the the United States in the early 1970’s.  They conducted several bombings including the Pentagon.  Several members murdered police officers.  Bill Ayers’ only regret was that he did not bomb more, and presumably,  kill more Americans.  Obama began his political career in Ayer’s living room.

Recent efforts to delve into the true nature of the relationship between these two men, by Stan Kurtz of the Hudson Institute has caused an angry reaction to this investigation.  The Obama campaign has requested criminal charges be filed at the DOJ, against Kurtz in order to intimidate.   Obama has orchestrated an email campaign and tried to intimidate a talk show on which Kurtz was being interviewed, jamming the phone lines.  Bill Clinton called Obama a Chicago thug.  Mr Change appears to have a nasty side.

Hudson Institute’s Stanley Kurtz was invited on to Milton Rosenberg’s radio show on Chicago’s WGN to discuss what Kurtz had discovered about the William Ayers-Barack Obama connection. After requesting the Justice Department bring about criminal charges to a billionaire who funded an ad that linked Obama to Ayers, the Obama campaign sent out an angry email to their supporters urging them to call into Rosenberg’s show.

What happened to free speech and the free exchange of ideas and information.  What is Obama afraid of?  If all is sweetness and light why the strong-arm tactics?The reason is that Obama’s account of the relationship is false.  From Kurtz’s article in National Review:

Although the press has been notably lax about pursuing the matter, the full story of the Obama-Ayers relationship calls the truth of Obama’s account seriously into question. When Obama made his first run for political office, articles in both the Chicago DefenderHyde Park Herald featured among his qualifications his position as chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a foundation where Ayers was a founder and guiding force. Obama assumed the Annenberg board chairmanship only months before his first run for office, and almost certainly received the job at the behest of Bill Ayers. During Obama’s time as Annenberg board chairman, Ayers’s own education projects received substantial funding. Indeed, during its first year, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge struggled with significant concerns about possible conflicts of interest. With a writ to aid Chicago’s public schools, the Annenberg challenge played a deeply political role in Chicago’s education wars, and as Annenberg board chairman, Obama clearly aligned himself with Ayers’s radical views on education issues. With Obama heading up the board and Ayers heading up the other key operating body of the Annenberg Challenge, the two would necessarily have had a close working relationship for years (therefore “exchanging ideas on a regular basis”). So when Ayers and Dorhn hosted that kickoff for the first Obama campaign, it was not a random happenstance, but merely further evidence of a close and ongoing political partnership. Of course, all of this clearly contradicts Obama’s dismissal of the significance of his relationship with Ayers.

Obama has been campaigning for close to two years now.  Why has the press NOT investigated this man?  The public does not need to know Obama’s english grades, but they do need to know about Rezko, Ayers and the other low lives who where in Obama’ s circle when he was up and coming in Chicago.
