The mainstream media is going through another one of their meltdown moments as they rush to defend Barack Obama from his relationship with American terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. (plural)
John Stephenson of Newsbusters detailed CNN's supposed fact check that came in response to a speech that Sarah Palin gave. In that speech Palin did the job the mainstream media refuses to do by mentioning the words terrorists, relationships and Barack Obama in a single sentence while referring to the former Weather Underground leaders.
In rushing to Barack Obama's defense CNN slipped the following into the end of their fact check:
The McCain campaign did not respond Saturday to a request for elaboration on Palin's use of the plural "terrorists."
Well excuse me, but why should they? If CNN doesn't know that Bernardine Dohrn was a leader of the Weather Underground while they were bombing federal buildings and police stations why should the McCain campaign give CNN the legitimacy of a real news organization by providing a response?
It may not matter to CNN that Bernardine Dohrn traveled to Cuba to meet with the North Vietnamese government in 1969 while Barack Obama's opponent was being held captive in a prisoner of war camp but it certainly is a point of interest that should not be covered up and downplayed by those that wish to sweep these facts under the covers out of allegiance to Barack Obama.
The question about "plural terrorists" itself is folly and wholly misleading. Barack Obama launched his political career at the home of not one, but two unrepentant American terrorists.
Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Bernardine Dohrn also worked at the same law firm according to sources. Of course there is the possibility that they may not have been palling around at the time but it is indisputable that their paths crossed repeatedly.
There is much more about the Dohrn story that goes relatively unnoticed. According to the Canada Free Press she has made frequent guest appearances at events sponsored by George Soros.
She stated in 1982 that “Those of us who participated in the [Vietnam] anti-war movement were not drastic enough” even though Americans died as a result of their bombings.
Both Ayers and Dohrn waged war on the U.S. government. They not only live in the same neighborhood as the Obama's but actually welcomed Barack Obama into their home where he was introduced as an up and comer on the political scene.
CNN may attempt to rewrite history but they can not change these facts. That CNN or any other news organization has decided that the American people have heard all they need to hear about the connections between William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and two people that may sit in the White House shaping policy and forging new relationships throughout the world is a verdict in and of itself.

The problem is that America
October 5, 2008 - 20:17 ET by LiberalliesThe problem is that America is asleep at the wheel.
How many of you know that Northwestern University, yes that top University in Evanston, Illinois has a dorm named after William Ayers? how many of you know this.
My sister graduated from Northwestern and her first year there she was put up at Ayers Hall!!!
The problem is that the media elites, the educational world of the United States have for a long time embraced these two terrorists!
There is a reason why Charleston Heston withdrew all of his monetary support from Northwestern University when they refused to rename Ayers Hall and remove any and all honors that they have given this terrorist family.
There is a reason why my sister and my brother-in-law refuse to donate anything to Northwestern University.
I graduated from UIC and I had the misfortune to take a class with Mr. William Ayers, the man IS a radical, he not only hasn't denounced his terrorist tactics and bombings, he is proud of them and encourages such behavior in his classes. I had MANY run ins with UIC deans etc when a couple of us complained about him and the radicalism he advocated in his classroom, all we were told is that we needed to be more open minded to the beliefs of other people.
William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn are considered heros in Chicago's educational world, they are considered heros in the Democrat party of Chicago and now we see that the media also loves them.
Those that only watch CNN, those that only read AP headlines will believe the lie that Ayers and Dohrn are good decent people and that Obama has no connection to them beyond serving in the same board of some fund raiser.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
These are very scary times for America, very scary times!
Why should McCain
October 5, 2008 - 20:20 ET by ConLosRepublicanosNoWhy should McCain do the lazy job for them? They should go invertigate and get the facts. McCain needs to keep this up, Americans are not stupid unlike what cnn and the msm think.
Obama: "No, if we're going to ask questions about who is promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily"

October 5, 2008 - 21:33 ET by MazziNo lie! And Obama still gets the Jewish vote?
I want to know how he got into Harvard! Did a known terrororist really arrange for, and pay Obama's way through Harvard?
And, where are his college transcripts? Why is there no one - NO ONE - who will come forward and say "hey I knew Barry when _______"? There is no one. No former co-workers, no former dorm-mates, classmates, no one. Where are they all?
How can he be a senator, a graduate of Harvard and Columbia, a former street thug (oops.. I meant community organizer) a member of all these committees, etc.. and not know anyone?
Something stinks.

William Ayers and Bernadine
October 5, 2008 - 20:59 ET by Scuba DudeWilliam Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn are terrorists, plain and simple. They planted bombs in the United States and have never expressed regret for what they have done but wish they had done more. A technicality was all that prevented the Justice system from sending them to jail where they should have rotted.
It is scary that the MSM refuses to show Ayers is more than "just a guy in my neighborhood" to Obama.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!
Your RIGHTS and FREEDOMS are at RISK if Obama is elected!!!
CNN threatens democracy
October 5, 2008 - 21:16 ET by wdhorningCNN is a threat to democracy in the USA. Its "pack of lies" news is, in my opinion, 100% communist leaning and pro-terrorist.
As for Obama, IMHO, he is a communist-terrorist "plant," and I am mad as hell that the FBI has not discovered this. There must be somebody asleep at the wheel at the FBI.
Some great sources about Obama's ties to radicalism...
October 5, 2008 - 21:19 ET by geoksterThese pretty much go into the same things as Hannity covered, plus lots more, in much more detail, with sources. I urge everybody to read them and save the links. Send them to everyone you know. What's in them indicates that Obama is very scary.
You'll learn about the tactics of the father of "community organizers", Saul Alinsky, a self-proclaimed communist in the 1960s who advocated intimidation, protests, physical threats, shouting down opponents, lying, and anything else to accomplish his goal - the undermining of the US system of government. ACORN is a direct outgrowth of his teachings. Obama has been immersed in Alinsky's philosophy nearly his entire life.

Be very afraid.
Those are scary articles.
October 5, 2008 - 22:17 ET by pbthinkerI look at those articles and can't help but thinking how much the media is screwing the American public. Where is the Obama I could vote for?
I could vote for an Obama who, after spending a couple of Sundays listening to Jerimiah Wright, took to the pulpit himself and declared that the Reverend was wrong and there was a better way for blacks to become self-sufficient, and indeed move up the income ladder, in American Society. Alas, Obama just sat there, listened, and became part of the amen chorus.
I could vote for an Obama that refused to cooperate with a Bill Ayers, because of his dislike for his country, and fought to get alternative funding for the projects he thought would really help inner city education.
I could vote for an Obama who could show me a whole group of people that his efforts had helped gain an education, grow rich, return to help the community, and become valued citizens of our country.
I could vote for an Obama, who had gone to the Senate, in Illinois, and fought for education projects to improve conditions in the inner-city. For a Senator who wasn't afraid to stand up to the status quo and do what was necessary to make things better for the citizens of the state of Illinois. Instead, Obama learned how to vote "present". What a shame!
I could vote for an Obama, who came to the U.S. Senate and said that, despite the fact his name had a "D" after it, he felt it was important to work with all his fellow senators to improve the conditions of people living in the United States. I could vote for an Obama who came to the U.S. Senate and said that, although he had differing opinions on the war in Iraq, it was important to us, as a country, to be united and complete this mission and he would support the President in any way he could.
Yes, there is a black man, who could run for president as a Democrat, that I could support. Barack Obama is not that man and the more I read, the more convinced I am that he will never be that man.
Democrats: Stuck on Stupid since 2000.
Ayers and Dohrn adopted other terrorists' son
October 5, 2008 - 21:23 ET by LibraryLadyDohrn and Ayers adopted Chesa Boudin, son of former Weather Underground
members Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, when the parents were arrested
for their activities with the Black Liberation Army.
Chesa Boudin works as part of an advisory group to Hugo Chavez
Breathtaking
October 5, 2008 - 21:56 ET by Scout FinchAnd shocking how all these straight lines connect Obama with Ayers, Dohrn, Kalhidi, Hamas, Rev. Wright, Fr. Floeger, Chavez, Castro, and worst of all............A.C.O.R.N.
Like an onion, the more layers you peel, the worse it smells.
And Barack Obama wants to sit as POTUS in the Oval Office at the White House? Commander in Chief? As God is my witness......NEVER.
Just Some Guy in Obama's Neighborhood
October 5, 2008 - 21:25 ET by Lee BoggsIt's disgusting that Ayers played a role in the deaths of police officers and now may play a role in who becomes president.
''Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at.”
Bill Ayers
The group Ayers was associated with are murderers.
October 5, 2008 - 23:10 ET by JWFThis makes Ayers and Dorn stone cold killers. They could have prevented those murders and refused to open their fat traps. The only reason they did not participate in a mass murder was because the other group members accidentally BLEW themselves up.
These people are stone cold killers and anyone with any bit of rationality would refuse to share the same airspace as them, let alone launch their political career off of them.
Sincerely,
a Veteran of a 1000 psychic wars.
Ayers and Dohrn were not just "associated" with this group
October 6, 2008 - 07:52 ET by geoksterThey FOUNDED and led the Weather Underground, they freely admitted that it, and they, were communists and proudly proclaim they are STILL communists.
Obama's father - self admitted communist
Obama's mentor during his teenage years, Frank Marshall Davis, a card carrying communist
Obama's philosophy of "community organization" learned from Saul Alinsky, a self identified communist who wrote "Rule for Radicals", a guide to undermining the United States
Obama has been heavily involved with ACORN, the radical group heavily into voter fraud, intimidation, agitation, and race hustling, which is a direct outgrowth of Alinsky's communist movement and is strongly implicated in the growth of sub-prime mortgages that just crashed the economy
Do we begin to see a pattern here?
I had thought that the nightmarish threat from communism was over when the Berlin Wall came down, but it just changed locations, to the ghettos and barrios and university faculties of our country, where it has been engaged in soft jihad against America for over 50 years. We are now seeing the fruition of their efforts, their first candidate for president, just 8 years after the first hippie president.
Toss into Obama's communist background a heavy dose of Black Liberation Theology, and you get a dangerous potential for outright race war in this country in the near future.
Several black commentators have already threatened race riots if the election is "stolen" from Obama, so they have already preempted the "stolen" mantra from 2000 in case they lose. It won't really matter to them what the real reasons are.
So, win or lose, prepare for the worst.
Bernadine Dohrn is really a lovely piece of work...
October 5, 2008 - 21:39 ET by geokster...here is what she said when the Manson family slaughtered a pregnant Sharon Tate and many others (from wikipedia):
"Dig it! First they killed those pigs and then they put a fork in their bellies. Wild!"
Dohrn, along with Bill Ayers, founded the Weather Underground. She wrote this about the organization back then:
"We are building a communist organization to be part of the forces which build a revolutionary communist party to lead the working class to seize power and build socialism."
What is the really abhorrent thing about these two is not that they are "unrepentant terrorists" which is all you ever hear about them on Hannity. It is the fact that they have are still unrepentant communists, and have simply shifted to the tactics of "community organizers". The 100 million they and Obama spent on Chicago schools with the Chicago Annenburg Challenge with no improvement in performance was because they never actually funded anything that had to do with scholastics. The grants were for the purpose of politicizing the teachers and indocrinating the students.
That part was probably successful as shown by the huge number of brainwashed rabid trolls that populate Kos, HuffPo, DU and show up here and on every other conservative, moderate and independent site whenever a whiff of anything negative about Obama or slightly positive about Palin/McCain appers, where they dutifully copy/paste drive-by smears and then run off.

October 5, 2008 - 23:02 ET by emccunninghamI had the absolute pleasure to stand 10 feet away from Sarah when she made the comment about Obama's obvious terrorist links. I only hope that it represents a new phase of the McCain campaign. Forget being nice. Forget bipartisanship (for now anyway; Republicans are the only ones who do it) and start making knock out punches.
It is the responsibility of the McCain campaign to inform thinking, patriotic Americans who Obama is.
As Sarah said yesterday, "Heals on, gloves off."
How cool emccunningham
October 5, 2008 - 23:05 ET by Dee BunkI hope it motivated you to volunteer for the campaign.
That's how I got a ticket.
October 5, 2008 - 23:10 ET by emccunninghamThat's how I got a ticket. It was worth it!
It's very rewarding in and of itself though isn't it emc?
October 5, 2008 - 23:25 ET by Dee BunkI'm trying to figure out how I can clear some things so that I can volunteer in IN, MI or WI. I did it for Bush in 2004 and it was very empowering. You don't feel so hopeless when you are doing something about it. I was sure that Bush was going to lose with how biased the media were but it made me feel so much better to help and be around other people who cared.

Hi BT
October 5, 2008 - 23:49 ET by Dee BunkIt really does make you feel good. We are so disadvantaged because Obama has all the young uninformed students that have the time and the false idealism fed to them. 10 years from now, many of those kids are going to be thinking - "why did I let myself get suckered into that?" especially if Obama is elected.
me too!
October 5, 2008 - 23:57 ET by lbcdawnMedia and buyers remorse
October 5, 2008 - 23:17 ET by illinois conservativeI saw the same thing with the chicago papers. They endorsed Todd Stroger and after his election they saw all the things they had chosen to ignore (patronage, higher taxes), things anybody who bothered to look had seen all along. Now not a day goes by with out a story blasting him and how he is running Cook county.
The MSM will do the same for BO, if he gets elected they will suddenly become shocked at his socialist agenda. They will seem generally appalled at how people like Ayers and Wright have unprecedented acces to the White House and the executive branch.
Hypocrisy knows no limits with the media.
