Ayers Is No Education ‘Reformer’
Israpundit —
The new media spin is worse than Obama’s original evasion.
By SOL STERN
One of the most misleading statements during the presidential debates was when Barack Obama claimed that William Ayers was just “a guy in the neighborhood.”
But that piece of spin is nothing compared to the false story now being peddled by Mr. Obama’s media supporters that Mr. Ayers — who worked with the Democratic nominee for years to disperse education grants through a group called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge — has redeemed his ...

... 16) By the time a majority of Americans realize where an Obama regime is taking them, it will be too late. In the name of "green awareness" and "multicultural" sensitivity, our own children will be recruited to spy and inform on us. The educational curriculum will follow the teachings of Bill Ayers, and emphasize social revolution rather than the math, science, history, and language skills that would enable an American civilization to thrive. ...

Hi there. Hart Williams here. I am guest-blogging for a few days at the kind invitation of Pamela Leavey, and it’s good to see you.
Here’s something that you might have seen and not quite noticed. …
Let’s pass over the Rovian Campaign of McCain’s dual smoke screen/smears, the ACORN kerfuffle to mask REAL voter disenfranchisement, and the continuing bogus attack on Ayers (guilt by free association), as shoved forward by Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal. But keep them in mind as you read this. They’re all of a piece.
In last night’s debate, John ...

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, jr. makes room for the oppressed:
Daley the son has maintained as tight a rein over the city’s Democratic Party machine as did his father, doling out patronage jobs and contracts to loyalists and tolerating as much corruption as in the old days. But unlike his father, he was ready to cut deals with veterans of the hard-core, radical left who were working for their revolutionary ideas from within the system they once sought to destroy from without. There is no lack of such veterans. One of Chicago’s congressmen, Bobby Rush, is a former chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party; Louis Gutierrez, a ...

Ayers Is No Education 'Reformer'
USS Neverdock —
Neither is Obama. "[A]s one of the leaders of a movement for bringing radical social-justice teaching into our public school classrooms, Mr. Ayers is not a school reformer. He is a school destroyer. He still hopes for a revolutionary upheaval that will finally bring down American capitalism and imperialism, but this time around Mr. Ayers sows the seeds of resistance and rebellion in America's future teachers.… The readings Mr. Ayers assigns to his university students are as intellectually diverse as a political commissar's indoctrination session in one of his favorite communist ...

October 17, 2008 Unperson Silenced by Ministry of Truthiness A witness to Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers is keeping quiet. Via Ace The source was considering dropping his demand for anonymity. Thus likely moving the story forward. (He wasn't considering going forward with the Politico, by the way: but with the other, more important organization.) And now, today? After witnessing Politico, among others, savage Joe Wurtzelbacher? Cold feet. The Politico has this story. They've had it for a while. They don't want to run it with the guy's anonymity kept intact. Gee, I wonder why he wanted to keep that? They're willing to endlessly vet anyone who even asks ...

The Death of the Soviet Union Was Not the Death of Communism -- By: Andy McCarthy
The Corner on National Review Online —
With due respect, I think Charles Krauthammer had it badly wrong on Van Jones when he said (see post below), "I'm not even disturbed that this guy is a communist. It is not the first time we had a communist in the U.S. government. And anyway, with the death of communism, it is a kind of a pathetic intellectual anachronism to remain a communist."
It should be apparent by now that communism never died. The Soviet Union died. Being a communist, or a neocommunist, is not an intellectual anachronism at all -- it is quite the fashion in the academy and our other institutions. Does Charles not realize, for example, that Obama's friend Bill ...
