Obama’s excuses about William Ayers ties
Well OK, I prefer to refer to them as flimsy excuses
Barack Obama was born on September 4, 1961. He turned eight on September 4, 1969. The Days of Rage, in which William Ayers participated, occurred in October 1969.
OK, so? No one cares about Obama at age eight. We care about his relationship with Ayers, a terrorist, as an ADULT!
The Chicago Sun-Times wrote in an editorial, “But Ayers, it is also true to say, has since followed in the footsteps of the great Chicago social worker Jane Addams, crusading for education and juvenile justice reform. His 1997 book, A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court, has been praised for exposing how Cook County’s juvenile justice system all but eliminates a child’s chance for redemption. Is Barack Obama consorting with a radical? Hardly. Ayers is nothing more than an aging lefty with a foolish past who is doing good. And while, yes, Obama is friendly with Ayers, it appears to be only in the way of two community activists whose circles overlap
A “foolish” past? THAT is how they describe Ayers? I would hardly dismiss setting off BOMBS, as merely foolish! Would Obama? Surely the pinhead that wrote that op-ed thinks Ayers was just your average misguided youth.
The Washington Post reported in a fact check, “Whatever his past, Ayers is now a respected member of the Chicago intelligentsia, and still a member of the Woods Fund Board. The president of the Woods Fund, Deborah Harrington, said he had been selected for the board because of his solid academic credentials and ‘passion for social justice.’
“Social Justice”? Hmmm, think of some of the folks who march and fight for “social justice”. Lots of anti-American, pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, racist, Marxist types hide behind the “social justice” facade don’t they?
On September 11, 2001, A Story About William Ayers’ Memoir Was Published In The New York Times; The Interview Occurred Prior To Publication.
Again so what? He still SAID those things. He still said he had no regrets for setting bombs. WHEN he said them matters not.
According to his website at UIC, “William Ayers is a school reform activist, Distinguished Professor of Education, and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago where he teaches courses in interpretive research, urban school change, and youth and the modern predicament. He is the founder of the Center for Youth and Society and founder and co-director of the Small Schools Workshop. A graduate of the Bank Street College of Education and Teachers College, Columbia University, he has written extensively about social justice, democracy and education. His interests focus on the political and cultural contexts of schooling as well as the meaning and ethical purposes of teachers, students, and families.”
WELL heck! There ya go my friends! Ayers says he is a GREAT GUY! Says it right there on HIS WEBSITE! Case closed!
