Excellent work. However, there is something not being sufficiently focused on with regard to Obama’s connection with Ayers/Dohrn. That is this: think of the loss of credibility our nation will have in a war on terror, when its chief executive has ties to, indeed launched his political career in the home of, a confessed and unrepentant domestic terrorist. The American people need to reflect soberly on the moral effect such an association will have on the legitimacy of our war against terrorism. If people don’t think that every terrorist state and organization in the world won’t make hay with that, they are delusional. It doesn’t even matter if Obama agrees with or condemns Ayers’ actions. The association is sufficient for the terrorists to exploit. Period. No one seems to be addressing the “why does it matter” aspect (beyond simply bad judgment). I’ve been doing my best to keep up with most of the articles on this subject through RCP, but I don’t think anyone has really driven this home. I really think this is the angle that needs to become a drum beat, and just hammered home until election day. It’s not guilt by association, it’s irreparable damage to our nation’s moral credibility in time of war against terrorist states and organizations.

[...] into the 1980s. And she’s still quite the radical, as you realize when you watch a video that this fellow says was made in November 2007, of Dohrn talking about overthrowing [...]

How did Dohrn end up at Northwestern? Ask who her father-in-law is and you’ll get a good idea pretty quickly. Dad Ayers was a Republican but also a key Mayor Daley advisor. He was also a trustee at Northwestern University. Rehabilitating Jr. at a school he was trustee at would have been a bit too obvious even for the cozy world of Chicago politics. He teaches at UIC. Ayers and Dohrn seemed to pass the smell test though…

Postscript: The name of the original Marxist party, 1898, translated into English, was the Russian Social Democratic Labor (or Workers’) Party. The Democratic Socialists of America are Marxists — and Obama is (99% guaranteed) one of ‘em. In 1995, for his run for the Illinois State Senate, he sought for and got the endorsement of a Marxist third party, the “New” Party, of which he was a member until 1996.

So Dohrn HASN’T changed! (No surprise.) Given Bernadine’s gleeful response to the Manson atrocity, we can imagine the sensitivity she brings to training sessions for attorneys dealing with children stolen from their families by CPS.

Those who’ve reached voting age since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 may need to know that “Democratic,” as used by Marxists, has nothing to do with democracy as we know it. The former GDR–German Democratic Republic was an oppressive police state of the worst sort. Examples abound.

Anyone seriously interested in Bernardine Dohrn will also be interested in Alice Palmer, and her hand-picking Barack Obama to run for her seat in the Illinois legislature when she decided to run for Congress. Alice Palmer is legitimately part of the “Marxist tapestry” spoken of in another post today on this blog. A member of CPUSA front groups, she is a Marxist through and through. Along with Bernardine and Bill and other Hyde Park ultra-liberals, she was there with Barack to announce her retirement from the Illinois senate — and her choice of Obama to replace her. He in turn, as late as 1996, was a member of the New Party, a front group of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). There’s more.

Maybe Bernardine has changed her views dramatically, but her husband hasn’t.
In an interview by the New York Times, ironically published on Sept. 11, 2001, Bill Ayers said, ”I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” Bernardine was on the FBI most wanted list. Quote: “J. Edgar Hoover called her ‘the most dangerous woman in America’ and ‘la Pasionara of the Lunatic Left.’ ” It was in their living room that Obama announced his candidacy for the Illinois State Senate.
