Here's a liberal hero: Michael Moore. Speaking truth to power, taking it to GM or whatever. Loves Cuban healthcare.

Here's a liberal hero: Margaret Sanger. Abortionist, racist, wanted abortion for black babies.

Here's a liberal hero: William Ayers. Bomb maker, terrorist, intellectual.

Here's a liberal hero: Che Guevara. Murderer, revolutionary, fashion icon.

The only problem I have with this is that William Ayers was fucking right.

He's been proven right countless times.

The Pentagon was lying. Daniel Ellsberg and Seymour Hersh took great risks to shine the light there, as did many thousands of others.

And millions of civilians died, at the hands of the Pentagon, and Ayers didn't kill one single person.

I love to see Hannity shit his pants, but this is yet another example of pussy Democrats shitting on their supporters to appease their opponents.

>>You can't even listen to the video can you? One of the bombs he was building killed his girlfriend and 2 other people. He's clearly an unrepentant terrorist and an unrepentant murderer. Now he's trying to get make money on other people's pain and suffering and all the lies he spouts.


That was an accident that occurred while building a bomb. Not an explosion that occurred when a bomb was intentionally set off in a government building.

The distinction is critical.

This terrorist is a fucking liar. So you can beleive this murderer if you want, but that's just another example of blindness. This guy should be DEAD already.

Explain how he's a murderer.

Don't demonize the bomb-maker! He's only trying to make this a better country by killing people.



Who is worse. A militant anti-war activist against an unjust war (Vietnam) who actually did not kill anyone, or a militant war crazed president bent on conquering another sovereign nation at all costs... through lies.. propoganda... for the sake of war/oil profiteering, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands. Mostly civilians.

Wake up.

You didn't even watch the video, did you?

He didn't kill anyone; and he was right.

Fair and Balanced would've meant reporting it before the election, not after.
Fair and Balanced would've meant realizing that William Ayers barely knew Obama, or realizing that Gordon Liddy had both committed worse crimes, and had a closer relationship to John McCain than Ayers had to Obama.


G. Gordon Liddy's original idea was to kidnap and mug key political opponents.

Nixon's people didn't go along with it only because they were afraid of getting caught.

None of us on the left see Obama as a Messiah.

The childishness coming from the right is nauseating in the extreme.

How ironic that the Republicans used *fear of William Ayers to smear Obama as a terrorist!

That was my point of putting it there.

Fair and Balanced would've meant admitting that a progressive tax system was implemented by Theodore Roosevelt (Republican), and the Earned Income Tax Credit was implemented by Ronald Reagan (the Republican "Messiah"), and that if either are socialism, then it was the Republicans who made us socialist a long time ago.

Um, if I remember correctly. It was Fox News (Fair and Balanced) that started breaking all the negative news on Sara Palin after the election. Now all of a sudden it's a bad thing?

Saul Alinsky is glowing!
Vote for BO and join the ranks of Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, and Jeremiah Wright.

This is the guy who thinks the US Constitution is defective.

Sad day for this country.

CNN:
"John McCain’s running mate took questions from her press corps for the second time in three days late Sunday after flying into Colorado Springs. But Palin was not completely on message.

Wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and standing on a breezy tarmac, Palin said that if she had her way, the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee would not be flooding battleground states with automated phone calls tying Barack Obama to former radical William Ayers, as they have done over the last week.

Several top Republicans, including Senators Susan Collins and Norm Coleman, have condemned the tactic. Asked about those criticisms, Palin at first dismissed the matter as "inside baseball stuff" and said it's "some of the campaign top brass’s call on that."

But when asked if she would approve the use of robocalls if she were running the campaign, Palin said she’d probably chart a different course.

"If I called all the shots, and if I could wave a magic wand," Palin said, "I would be sitting at a kitchen table with more and more Americans, talking to them about our plan to get the economy back on track and winning the war, and not having to rely on the old conventional ways of campaigning that includes those robocalls, and includes spending so much money on the television ads that, I think, is kind of draining out there in terms of Americans' attention span.

"They get a bit irritated with just being inundated," she continued, "and you're seeing a lot of that of course with the huge amounts of money that Barack Obama is able to spend on his ads and his robocalls also."

Obama is Stoking Racial Antagonism
by Rush Limbaugh

I understand the rough and tumble of politics. But Barack Obama -- the supposedly postpartisan, postracial candidate of hope and change -- has gone where few modern candidates have gone before.

Mr. Obama's campaign is now trafficking in prejudice of its own making. And in doing so, it is playing with political dynamite. What kind of potential president would let his campaign knowingly extract two incomplete, out-of-context lines from two radio parodies and build a framework of hate around them in order to exploit racial tensions? The segregationists of the 1950s and 1960s were famous for such vile fear-mongering.

Here's the relevant part of the Spanish-language television commercial Mr. Obama is running in Hispanic communities:

"They want us to forget the insults we've put up with . . . the intolerance . . . they made us feel marginalized in this country we love so much."

Then the commercial flashes two quotes from me: ". . . stupid and unskilled Mexicans" and "You shut your mouth or you get out!"

And then a voice says, "John McCain and his Republican friends have two faces. One that says lies just to get our vote . . . and another, even worse, that continues the policies of George Bush that put special interests ahead of working families. John McCain . . . more of the same old Republican tricks."

Much of the media that is uninterested in Mr. Obama's connections to unrepentant 1970s Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright have so far gone along with the attempt to tie me to Mr. McCain. But Mr. McCain and I have not agreed on how to address illegal immigration. While I am heartened by his willingness to start by securing the borders, it is no secret that we have fundamental differences on illegal immigration.

And more to the point, these sound bites are a deception, and Mr. Obama knows it. The first sound bite was extracted from a 1993 humorous monologue poking fun at the arguments against the North American Free Trade Agreement. Here's the context:

"If you are unskilled and uneducated, your job is going south. Skilled workers, educated people are going to do fine 'cause those are the kinds of jobs Nafta is going to create. If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people, I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do -- let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work."

My point, which is obvious, was that the people who were criticizing Nafta were demeaning workers, particularly low-skilled workers. I was criticizing the mind-set of the protectionists who opposed the treaty. There was no racial connotation to it and no one thought there was at the time. I was demeaning the arguments of the opponents.

As for the second sound bite, I was mocking the Mexican government's double standard -- i.e., urging open borders in this country while imposing draconian immigration requirements within its own borders. Thus, I took the restrictions Mexico imposes on immigrants and appropriated them as my own suggestions for a new immigration law.

Here's the context for that sound bite: "And another thing: You don't have the right to protest. You're allowed no demonstrations, no foreign flag waving, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies. You're a foreigner: shut your mouth or get out! And if you come here illegally, you're going to jail."

At the time, I made abundantly clear that this was a parody on the Mexican government's hypocrisy and nobody took it otherwise.

The malignant aspect of this is that Mr. Obama and his advisers know exactly what they are doing. They had to listen to both monologues or read the transcripts. They then had to pick the particular excerpts they used in order to create a commercial of distortions. Their hoped-for result is to inflame racial tensions. In doing this, Mr. Obama and his advisers have demonstrated a pernicious contempt for American society.

We've made much racial progress in this country. Any candidate who employs the tactics of the old segregationists is unworthy of the presidency.
