Here's one reason Barack Obama loathes Sean Hannity. On Thursday night's Hannity & Colmes came a new chapter in the Bill Ayers association controversy: An obscure Ayers manifesto from 1974 featured a dedication to "all political prisoners in the U.S." -- including one Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of Robert F. Kennedy, a liberal Democratic icon to this day.
As Hannity indicated during the segment, the book was very difficult to obtain, with even the New York Public Library apparently unable to locate it. Radio Equalizer has the video, and more:
Given Obama's extensive ties to Ayers, one would imagine they would prove damaging, but the issue so far has not resonated nationally. With this bombshell development, however, that may quickly change.
The American people will want to know why Barack Obama associates so closely with a man who backs Robert F Kennedy's murderer, seeing him as a mere "political prisoner". That's a view so far out into fringe territory that it could give a Berkeley radical pause.
When will Obama finally be forced to explain his association with this sick terrorist?

October 31, 2008 - 08:17 ET by Cool ArrowI've mentioned before the Democrats should free Sirhan.
They freed Hinckley while Ronald Reagan was still alive.
That's apples and oranges
October 31, 2008 - 08:28 ET by PamHinckley got an insanity defense, which we are seeing the reality of, by him having freedom. Sirhan got the death penalty obviously that was changed to life in prison. IMO, he isn't a threat to society, but to the neat little case closed we all got in 1968.
As to the Ayers story, I didn't know he dedicated his new book to cop killers..every person listed is a cop killer

I don't Think It Matters Anymore!
October 31, 2008 - 08:33 ET by ChasvsI've decided that the reason this doesn't matter is because the Majority of our Country has decided that Marxist, Socialism, Communism are all OK as long as they get a piece of the Rich's pie!
The Liberals of the 60's have succeeded in radicalizing the youth through our Public Education system. They dumbed down the majority of the population, and radicalized the rest.
We are screwed and the tide has turned too far to go back. Revolution is on its way.
STOP OBAMA NOW!
I Agree
October 31, 2008 - 08:40 ET by cayenne523Some selfish foolish people in our nation. How weak is the Kennedy family? They still back Obama even though he is good friends with a guy that dedicates a book to the guy that killed one of their family members. How foolish are the people of MA to still vote for a Kennedy?
Bill Ayers - Obama's Carefully Chosen Friend and Ally
October 31, 2008 - 08:39 ET by Retired GeekBill Ayers - Carefully Chosen Friend
There is an old Spanish saying.
“Tell me who you walk with, and I will tell you WHO YOU ARE!”
"I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets." - Barack Obama (Dreams of My Father)
Bill Ayers is a carefully chosen friend of Barrack Obama. Born in 1944, Currently a professor of education at the University of Illinois.
Who is Bill Ayers?
------------------
1) Leader of the 1960s and 70s domestic terrorist group Weatherman. The Weatherman issued a 'Manifesto', calling for armed opposition to US policies, includig Capitalism and asked white radicals to launch a 'Race War' against 'White Skin Privilege'. Leaders like Mark Rudd (currently a mathematics professor at a New Mexico community college) traveled illegally to Cuba in 1968 for terroist training by Soviet KGB Colonel Vadim Kotchergine, who taught Marxist philosophy and urban warfare. Weather men always spelled America - 'AmeriKKKa'.
2) "Kill all the rich people. ... Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents." Bill Ayers
3) Participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972. Ayers proudly stated that he didn’t "regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough."
"America is NOT a just and fair and decent place - it makes me want to puke." Ayers said in 2001
In the mid-1990s, Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn hosted meetings at their Chicago home to introduce Barack Obama to their neighbors during Barack Obama's first run for the Illinois Senate.
In 1999 Ayers joined the Woods Fund of Chicago, where he served as a director alongside Barack Obama until the Obama left the Woods board in December 2002.
Review of Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) documents shows that Ayers and Obama each chaired the two CAC operating bodies from 1995 to 2000.
Michelle Obama started working at a law firm with Bernadette Dohrn, Ayers wife, in 1985.

October 31, 2008 - 12:29 ET by Tim the EnchanterJust as important as your associations are in having others judge your character, who your enemies are tells just as much. I believe Confucius had asked a question of his students along the lines of "wouldn't it be good to be loved be everyone?", to which they all agreed. Then, he asked another question- "wouldn't it be better if you were loved by the good people, and hated by the bad?" Lots of food for thought in that.
Palmer Confirms Obama and Ayers Connection
October 31, 2008 - 08:41 ET by Retired GeekDuring the Cold War, Palmer supported the Soviet Union and spoke against the United States.
In the 1980s she served as an executive board member of the U.S. Peace Council, which the FBI identified as a Communist front group (and which was an affiliate of the World Peace Council, an international Soviet front).
In the mid-1990s, Palmer attended a number of political meetings at the Chicago-area home of her friends and ideological allies, former Weatherman terrorists Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn.
At those gatherings, Palmer developed a friendly relationship with another attendee, a young aspiring politician named Barack Obama.
As Palmer prepared to leave the state senate and run for the US Congress, she hand-picked Barack Obama as the person she most wanted to fill her newly vacated senate seat.
Toward that end, she introduced Obama to party elders and donors as her preferred successor, and helped him gather the signatures required for getting his name placed on the ballot.
Alice Palmer was defeated in the Congressional race and asked Barack Obama to withdraw from the race for her former seat.
Obama refused to withdraw so she ran against him and gathered the necessary signatures on her petition.
Obama promptly challenged the legitimacy of those signatures and charged Palmer with fraud.
A subsequent investigation found that a number of the names on Palmer’s signature list were invalid, thus she was knocked off the ballot.
“I liked Alice Palmer a lot, I thought she was a good public servant." Barack Obama
------------------------------------------------
Barack Obama will discard anyone when he is finished using them. I wonder how he would have treated her if he didn't like her?
Playing radical
October 31, 2008 - 08:51 ET by KC MulvilleSome people want to grow up and become cowboys, or firemen. When they're young, they wear the costumes and play make believe. But there's a time to put all that aside and grow up.
There's a subset of Americans who don't have the patience or tolerance to accept converse-and-persuade politics on a scale of 300 million people. Maybe they want to wield power to advance their own self-esteem, or maybe they really believe in the "cause," but either way, they have no patience for a democratic republic. They don't care what the majority thinks, and they don't think that the majority should have authority. They think that right makes might, and they know they're right.
It's radical chic to dismiss and demean institutions. It's radical chic to stage protests, to celebrate dissent, and (using the phrase that I've come to hate), "speak truth to power."
Ayers was once one of the fashion-setters of radical chic. It's all just fashion. It's an attitude rather than an argument. Obama is sympathetic with that radical chic. That's what bothers us. He's a top runway model for radical fashion.
Remember Bill Clinton?
October 31, 2008 - 09:44 ET by Spinningplates2It was Bill who should have been hated by all feminist groups for his treatment of Monica, but instead got a pass. Now Obama can run with people who have no problem with the murderer of a Icon of the Left. This proves to me that nothing is more important to the Left then keeping people in power who will not outlaw Abortion.

October 31, 2008 - 09:55 ET by joethecopIts an interesting story . I like to see a member of the media mention this fact to the surviving members of the Kennedy Family. Specifically Caroline, Teddy and Maria Shriver and then ask do you still support Obama ??!!!!

October 31, 2008 - 12:58 ET by ricklailI don't believe he could get a confidential clearance. That is the lowest of the clearances. I held one while in the Army.

Why should the Obama supporters
October 31, 2008 - 11:19 ET by katiejanefind it objectionable that Ayers dedicated that book to Kennedy's killer? Remember he was only a child when all this happened.
Probably a large percentage of his supporters weren't even born when Kennedy was killed and therefore it IS NOT IMPORTANT to them. RFK is nothing more than a figure mentioned in that history class they were too stoned to pay attention in.
I don't care about a washed up terrorist
October 31, 2008 - 12:13 ET by Smoking HotI think that's really the best policy with this Ayers guy. Who was he before Barack Obama? Forgotten. Now he's got all kinds of press. Whatever silly ideas he had and perhaps still has are now resurrected for a new audience.
If he's dangerous, he ought to be in jail. If he's not dangerous, he ought to be ignored.
Everyone needs to pay
October 31, 2008 - 19:17 ET by HockeyKidEveryone needs to pay attention, SH. Ayers is very influential in education circles, by intention. He intends to indoctrinate the radical mindset through the government-sponsored education system. He wants you to ignore him, because as long as you do, he can continue to develop subversive approaches to destroying America.
If 0bama is elected, I fully expect to see him appoint a stooge to Secretary of Education whose job it will be to send buckets of money to Ayers' programs, a la the "Small Schools" initiative. These well-camouflaged programs are designed to do nothing so much as inculcate class envy and socialist thinking. Ayers himself will not be SoE--he needs to stay under the radar to be most effective.
Unless, of course, the Dems manage an opposition-proof majority in both houses of Congress, in which case 0bama might decide to throw off all pretense and do as much damage as possible before the 2010 midterm elections. Then and only then will Ayers be a cabinet member.
