Barack Obama’s Terrorist Connection
Brain-Terminal.com — Barack Obama launched his political career with a fundraiser in the house of Bill Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist who—along with his wife Bernardine Dohrn—founded a radical Marxist group in the 1960s called the Weather Underground. The Weather Underground was responsible for a number of bombings around the United States, including the U.S. Capitol building and the Pentagon. On the morning that the World Trade Center was collapsing, the New York Times ran an article on Ayers in which he was quoted as saying, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” You have to wonder whether Ayers ...

Obama Deception - William Ayers
Stop The ACLU — Cross-Posted by request FROM Gribbit’s Word [image] A new ad about Barack Obama’s association with an unrepentant domestic terrorist is hitting the airwaves that that has the man with the middle name Hussein’s dander up.

Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to ...

Obama: champion of freedom of speech—except if that speech is against him
neo-neocon — Obama is protesting an ad that targets his association with domestic 60s terrorist Bill Ayres. Here’s the ad: Obama is asking his supporters to threaten to boycott stations running the ad. I have no problem with that; it’s a classic technique used to put economic pressure on entities that air programs and/or ads that are considered offensive by one group or other. But the Obama campaign is going beyond that. In a letter to the Justice Department, Obama’s general counsel Bob Bauer wrote that: The project is “a knowing and willful attempt to violate the ...
