[edit]Background
Larry Johnson moved to Washington, D.C. in 1979 to begin work on a Ph.D. at the American University. Although he completed successfully all coursework and comprehensive exams, he did not write a dissertation. In 1978 and in 1983-85 he worked in Latin America on community development projects as a community organizer. Returning to the United States in 1985 he joined the Central Intelligence Agency, thanks in part to a letter of recommendation from Republican Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) that helped to "open doors" for him at the Agency.[3] Johnson entered on duty at the CIA in September 1985 and was a classmate of Valerie Plame. Every member of that class was undercover. After a year in the Career Trainee program, which included a stint with the Afghan Task Force, Johnson was assigned as an analyst in the Middle America Caribbean Division in the Latin American Affairs Office of the Directorate of Intelligence. He received two Exceptional Performance awards and was promoted ultimately to Senior Regional Analyst for Central America.
Johnson remained undercover in the CIA until October 1989, when he resigned from the CIA and started a new job in the Office of Counter Terrorism at the Department of State. Johnson played an instrumental role in launching the Terrorism Rewards program international advertising campaign (working with Diplomatic Security officers Brad Smith and Michael Parks). [4] Johnson also was involved in a variety of crisis management response operations, including the release of hostages from Lebanon and liaison with the Pan Am 103 families. He left government service in October 1993 and started his own business as a consultant.
After leaving government service, Johnson became a frequent guest on many major television news shows when a question of terrorism came up. He was first interviewed by CNN following the capture of Carlos the Jackal. Johnson subsequently appeared on CNN, ABC's Nightline, CBS, the BBC, MSNBC, the Jim Lehrer News Hour, NBC, and NPR. In December of 1999, for example, Johnson was hired by NBC to serve as its terrorist expert for the Y2000 and was in Time Square with Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric ("a lot of fun and the best way to see in the New Year"). Johnson also was hired in January 2002 as a Fox News Analyst and remained under contract until February 2003.
Since 1994 a significant focus of Johnson's consulting work has been with the U.S. military special operations forces in scripting and conducting military counter terrorism exercises. He traveled under orders from the U.S. military to Iraq in May 2006 to work on a short term project.
A registered Republican who supported President Bush in 2000, Johnson became a strong critic of the Bush administration in May 2003 for its conduct of the war in Iraq and, a few months later, for its role in the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame.[5] He was also featured in the 2004 political documentary Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism. Since Robert Novak's controversial disclosure of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative in July 2003, Johnson has contributed to public discourse on intelligence matters, often sparking further controversy. He has been interviewed by both the mass media and the alternative media and published commentaries on a variety of issues, including the Plame affair, the controversy concerning Mary McCarthy, and the resignation of Porter Goss as Director of Central Intelligence.

[edit]1996
In 1996, Johnson noted that terrorism worldwide was on the decline. "Terrorist incidents [both internationally and in the US] have fallen to levels not seen since the 1970s. Whether measured by the number of incidents, the number of fatalities, or the number of groups, raw statistics demonstrate that the level of terrorist violence has declined since the mid-1980s. In fact, the evidence suggests terrorism was more widespread and deadly 10 years ago."[6]
He also wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times suggesting that the newer and more deadly terrorist threat to the U.S. was embodied by "networks of terrorists, mostly foreign, working within its borders." Exemplifying this threat was Ramzi Yousef, one of the masterminds behind the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. In the article, Johnson suggests that enhanced cooperation between intelligence agencies, particularly the FBI and CIA, is mandatory to meet the growing threat of terror networks.[7]
[edit]1998
In 1998, Johnson argued that while overall terrorism was declining, the threat from bin Laden and al-Qaeda should be the focus of American counterterrorism policy:
The nature of the threat posed by Bin Ladin is highlighted by my final chart, number 7. Osama Bin Ladin and individuals associated with him have killed and wounded more Americans than any other group. This chart also illustrates that groups such as Hamas and the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) prior to 1998 have killed more foreigners in the anti-US terrorist attacks. If we take into account the bombings of the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Osama's status as the most lethal terrorist is certain.[8]
In addition, he told USA Today that bin Laden had participated in "virtually every major attack of terrorism against the United States" in the 1990s. Johnson underlined the threat posed by bin Laden, saying that he was possessed by "hatred and craziness." If left unanswered, "he would continue to terrorize Americans around the world. He has no compunction about killing women and children. He's a complete egalitarian in his murderous attitude."[9]
[edit]1999
In an interview with PBS's Frontline for its 1999 program, Hunting bin Laden, Johnson discussed Osama bin Laden.[10] According to Johnson, Americans had "tended to make Osama bin Laden sort of a superman in Muslim garb." "Actually," he continues, "Osama bin Laden, in my view, represents more of a symptom of a problem, and the problem is this: the Saudi Arabian government, not just Osama bin Laden but many people in Saudi Arabia, have been sending money to radical Islamic groups for years." Johnson continued:
When you look at who's killed Americans in the last 10 years, the individuals he's supported and backed--I'm basing that upon the initial information that's been released in the indictments and conversations with others in the intelligence communities--Osama bin Laden has been the one killing Americans. No other terrorist group in the world has been out killing Americans except for Osama bin Laden.... Osama bin Laden remains out there as the one really targeting us. So, we recognize that he's the threat. He's serious about wanting to kill Americans, but as long as he's in Afghanistan, as long as he doesn't have access to a cell phone, as long as he can't just hop on a plane and travel wherever he wants without fear of being arrested, his ability to plan and conduct terrorist operations is extremely limited. We have to recognize [that] he would like to do a lot of damage. He would like to kill Americans, but wanting to is different from being able to, having the full capabilities in place.[11]
In the interview, Johnson doubted the ability of members of bin Laden's organization to plan and put their lives on the line:
There's not another Ali or Mustafa out there at this point and Osama bin Laden in my view has not been a very effective organizer or leader. He talks a great game and puts out terrific threats as far as stirring the passions in the United States and maybe firing up the imaginations of some young Muslims throughout the world. But when push comes to shove, can he get a group of people who are together who will say: we are going to plan an operation, we're going to put our lives on the line, we're going to go out and try and kill people and we don't care what the consequence is? It hasn't happened.[12]
Frontline asked:
[Is it] ... fair to say what you're saying is that the president of the United States, his national security advisor, his deputy national security advisor for counter-terrorism, are basically blowing smoke [about the danger posed by bin Laden] and his followers]?
Johnson responded:
They're grossly exaggerating the problem. They are hyping it. They shouldn't be talking about rising terrorism. Instead of saying "terrorism's rising," it's not. "Terrorism is spreading," it's not. "More people are dying from terrorism," not the case. But what they should be saying is, "There's one individual out there that really doesn't like us, and he's made it his mission in life to kill Americans, and we've gotta deal with him." But we need to have a voice of reason in that process instead of putting ourselves out crying wolf, because this is essentially what's taking place right now. They call it the administration that cries wolf.[12]
[edit]2000
Johnson co-authored an article in 2000 with Milt Bearden which focused on the threat posed by al-Qaeda specifically, rather than terrorism trends in general. Beardon and Johnson note that new information emerging about the bombings at Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 points to the threat posed by Imad Mugniyah and Osama Bin Laden will require "a coordinated policy that will employ a full range of covert, clandestine, diplomatic, and military operations," concluding:
The Clinton Administration has shot its bolt on the terrorist problem with small effect, and no last minute show of force will change the record. A new administration can start afresh with a more sharply defined set of terrorism goals – Mughniyeh and bin Laden and their protectors for starters – and bring the full, coordinated force of American diplomatic, military, and intelligence capabilities to bear on the problem.[13]
[edit]2001
After Johnson's testimony to the special forum at the U.S. Senate, Gary J. Schmitt, executive director and CEO of the Project for the New American Century, refers in the Daily Standard (blog) to an op-ed piece Johnson wrote two months prior to the 9/11 attacks, claiming that Johnson argued that the US had little to fear from terrorism.[14]
In an editorial entitled "The Declining Terrorist Threat," published in the New York Times on 10 July 2001, Johnson says:
Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.... None of these beliefs are based in fact.... While terrorism is not vanquished, in a world where thousands of nuclear warheads are still aimed across the continents, terrorism is not the biggest security challenge confronting the United States, and it should not be portrayed that way.[15]
Ten days after the 9/11 attacks, after quoting the above passage, Timothy Noah concludes a post in his "Chatterbox" feature at Slate: "Johnson's analysis, we now see, was bold, persuasive, and 100 percent wrong."[16] Johnson defended himself against such attacks:
The rightwing is resurrecting an op-ed I wrote in July 2001. I stand by the full article. It is still relevant today. I am accused, incorrectly, of ignoring the threat of terrorism. In fact, I correctly noted that the real threat emanated from Bin Laden and Islamic extremism. President Bush, for his part, ignored the CIA warning in August 2001 that Al Qaeda was posed to strike inside the United States.[17]
After September 11, Johnson appeared several times on FOX News to address the question of military action against terrorism. On 14 November, he defended the FBI's proposal to interview 5,000 students in the U.S. suspected of having information relevant to the September 11 investigations:
I think they should talk to everyone that they feel they have a need to talk to. I mean, look, this is war. This is not a legal proceeding. This isn't the O.J. Simpson trial. The folks that attacked us -- they murdered Americans. And we've got to recognize that in wartime, we should do things differently.[18]
[edit]2003
In January 2003, Johnson wrote an analysis of the relationship between the upcoming U.S. invasion of Iraq and the threat of transnational terrorism. According to Johnson, Bremer's response was to tell him that "it didn't matter what Saddam did or didn't do, we were going to war."[19] The paper warned that an invasion would "do little to destroy the infrastructure of radical Islamic terrorism responsible for the 9-11 attacks." Noting that Saddam Hussein's regime has been a longtime supporter of regional terrorist organizations such as the PLO, Johnson examines contacts between Saddam Hussein and transnational terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda:
There is no doubt that Iraq is a state sponsor of terrorism—i.e., a country that provides financial support, safe haven, training, or weapons and explosives to groups or individuals that carry out terrorist attacks. . . . According to Central Intelligence Agency data, there is no credible evidence implicating Iraq in any mass casualty terrorist attacks since 1991. . . .
Johnson notes that the period immediately leading up to 2003 saw a rise of activity surrounding terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, suggesting that "Iraq is willing to help a movement that it would otherwise oppose on ideological grounds. Nonetheless," Johnson concludes, "it is important to understand that Iraqi entreaties to Al Qaeda, are most likely intended as a tactic to bolster Iraq’s ability to fight off a U.S. invasion rather than a deep-seated theological and ideological commitment to the terrorist agenda of Bin Laden.[20]
In that analysis Johnson also warns that the U.S.-led invasion was likely to backfire:
In fact there is a serious risk that a U.S. led war against Iraq may crystallize the diffused anger in the Arab and Muslim world — a heretofore unattained goal of bin Laden and his followers — and persuade more Muslim youths to take up the terrorist banner against America and her citizens.... If we decide to invade Iraq we must be prepared for the contingency that our attack will inspire young Muslims to pursue jihad against the West in general and the United States in particular. Just as the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan rallied many Muslims, especially young adults to the cause of jihad, a U.S. attack may enable Islamic extremists to attract new followers.[20]
Johnson also gave interviews on the topic of what to do with captured al-Qaeda leaders; while he did not condone torture, he suggested that a "sleep deprivation and reward system" might be useful for getting information from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed:
I don't see a constitutional right to have eight hours of sleep. You shouldn't subject someone to freezing but they don't get to wear mink coats, either.[21]
In May 2003, Johnson joined members of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) in condemning the manipulation of intelligence for political purposes:
It is a misuse and abuse of intelligence. The president was being misled. He was ill served by the folks who are supposed to protect him on this. Whether this was witting or unwitting, I don't know, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.[22]
[edit]Plame affair
After Robert Novak wrote a column identifying the wife of former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson as a CIA officer, the media invited Johnson to comment on the ensuing scandal because he had been a member of the same Career Trainee class with Valerie Plame Wilson. For example, in October 2003, he appeared on Democracy Now to discuss the Plame affair. He told interviewer Amy Goodman that Valerie Wilson's cover should have been respected whether she was an "analyst" or a "cleaning lady": "if she's undercover she's undercover, period. If the media allows themselves to get distracted with those kinds of curve balls, they ignore the issue."[23]
He told a Senate Democratic Policy Committee in October 2003, "My classmates and I have been betrayed. Together, we have kept the secrets of each other's identities a secret for 18 years. Each and every one of us have kept that secret, whether we were in the CIA, in other government service or in the private sector. But this issue is not just about a blown cover. It is about the destruction of the very essence, the core of human intelligence collection activities: plausible deniability, apparently, for partisan domestic political reasons."[24]
Johnson testified at a special joint hearing of Congressional and Senate Democrats on 22 July 2005 about the consequences arising from the Plame affair.[25]
[edit]2008
In 2008, Johnson emerged as a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton and a strong critic of Barack Obama. Larry Johnson's blog, NoQuarterUSA, became a rally point for Clinton supporters wary of Barack Obama's qualifications to be president. Supporters of Barack Obama insist that a story that first appeared on Johnson's blog--a report that Republican operatives have a tape of Michelle Obama making racially insenstive comments about caucasians--has been "refuted" Barack Obama's Fight the Smears website.[26]. However, Johnson never claimed to have the tape and reported that the Republican operatives controlling it intended to release the tape sometime after the Democratic Convention in August 2008. On October 21, however, he asserted that the operative in possession of the tape had been instructed by the McCain campaign not to release it.[27]

It is, to be sure, a little bit cheap (and slightly at odds with the usual parameters of this feature) to criticize someone for making an erroneous prediction, particularly after a tragedy. Chatterbox is especially reluctant to tag Johnson because Johnson's op-ed was argued forcefully, backed up meticulously with factual data, and bravely at odds with conventional wisdom at the time of its publication. Add in that Johnson now makes his living as a consultant to corporations about terrorism, and therefore had everything to gain by exaggerating the dangers terrorism poses, and the guy practically looks like a hero. Chatterbox, who two decades ago was an editor for the New York Times op-ed page, would have published Johnson's piece had he still been an editor there this past July. In his capacity at Slate, Chatterbox might well have written up Johnson's prediction, and perhaps even endorsed it.
But boy, is he glad he didn't! Johnson's analysis, we now see, was bold, persuasive, and 100 percent wrong. Sadly, a mistake this embarrassing cannot be ignored. As a fellow skeptic, Chatterbox in all sincerity wishes Johnson better luck next time.

[Update: Hear Larry on John Batchelor's show tonight, 7:30 p.m. PT, via Los Angeles radio station, KFI-AM 640. (Go to KFI AM early if you're a first-time listener since you may need to download a plug-in.) Mr. Batchelor's show, all of it great listening, runs Sundays from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM PT.]
Here is the only video proof that Barack Obama at one time was willing to talk about the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (although he says nothing about Bill Ayers).
We will be posting a new piece by Steve Diamond later today. Why is the press continuing to ignore Obama’s stewardship as the chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenber Challenge (CAC)? The CAC disbursed more than $100 million dollars while Obama headed the board. Is he now ashamed of his work on that effort? In the meantime here is a succinct summary of the key questions the media ought to be asking Obama courtesy of the talented Mr. John Batchelor:
The New York Times assigned its first Bill Ayers profile since September 11, 2001 to a veteran political reporter Scott Shane, and the article published October 3, 2008 provides no new information about the mysterious relationship between Bill Ayers and his colleague of at least over a dozen years Barack Obama. In Scott Shane’s version, the two met by chance in Chicago in 1995 in a conversation about education, served briefly together on two Chicago foundation boards, lived in the same neighborhood, and have fallen out of meaningful conversation since 2002.
The Cutting Room Floor
There is evidence that Scott Shane and his colleagues worked carefully on this story and perhaps were obliged to leave out a deal of material that did not fit concisely in the most innocuous version. There remain many unanswered questions from the puzzle pieces of the story over many years. Below are some of these questions in chronological order when possible.
1. Most importantly, when and where did Barack Obama first meet Bill Ayers? Neither Bill Ayers nor Barack Obama would speak to Scott Shane for this piece, and Scott Shane mentions a “lunchtime meeting in a Chicago skyscraper” in 1995 but does not say this was the first meeting. Campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt does assert, without further explanation, that the 1995 meeting was their first meeting. There exists no other published record of this meeting, nor of this meeting being the first meeting.
2. Is it coincidence or significant that both Columbia College student Barack Obama (Class 1983) and Columbia Teacher’s College doctoral student Bill Ayers were in New York City in the same time frame of the early 1980s, and that they both attended wool-gathering events about socialism at the Cooper Union in the early 1980s? And that Mr. Obama, after two indifferent post-college years working for a trade newsletter in New York, left for Chicago in 1985, while Mr. Ayers followed his wife to Chicago after receiving his doctorate at Teachers College in 1987?
3. Is it coincidence or significant that Barack Obama traveled to Chicago to work for Mike Kruglik in a Saul Alinsky-inspired organization, Developing Communities Project, because of a $12,000 grant from the Chicago-based Woods Fund? Is it significant that a member of the Woods board at the time was Ken Rolling, who would later serve as the executive director of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) grant alongside Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama?
4. Is it coincidence or significant that Bernardine Dohrn (left, with Bill Ayers, 1981), after serving seven months in jail on a felony for refusing to cooperate with the 1981 Brinks robbery investigation, was employed from 1984-1988 at the prominent Chicago law firm, Sidley Austin, where both Michelle Robinson in 1988 and Barack Obama in 1989 would serve as summer interns, and where Barack Obama met his future wife? Is it coincidence or significant that Bernardine Dohrn supervised the interns at Sidley Austin and that this duty passed to Michelle Robinson after Bernardine Dohrn left to an associate professorship at Northwestern University? Is it coincidence or significant that Bill Ayers’s father Tom Ayers (1915-2007) was a major client of Sidley Austin and long a significant proponent of progressive causes in Chicago?
5. Is it coincidence or significant that Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn were known to be part of a Hyde Park support group for Mayor Harold Washington, and that this group included other prominent South Siders such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Father William Pfleger? Is it coincidence or significant that Barack Obama has written that he was attracted to Chicago in 1985 because of the achievement of Harold Washington?
6. Is it coincidence or significant that, after graduating Harvard Law School in 1991, Barack Obama was offered his first law job in 1993 by Judson Miner, of Davis Miner Galand, who was a 1967 University of Chicago Law School classmate of Bernardine Dohrn?
7. Is it coincidence or signficant that Bill Ayers began his well-publicized pursuit of the $49.2 million Chicago Annenberg Challenge Grant with a sizeable grant from the Joyce Foundation in 1993-1994, and that the junior lawyer Barack Obama was named to the Joyce Foundation board in November 1994 by Joyce Foundation (since 1992) President Deborah Leff?
8. Is it coincidence or significant that Deborah Leff asserts that she alone suggested Barack Obama as chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge grant board, beginning March 1995 — despite the puzzling fact that Barack Obama had no education or teaching experience and, then 33, was to serve at the head of a board that included two university presidents?
9. Is it coincidence or significant that a major recipient in the first year of CAC grants was a radical education enterprise headed by Bill Ayers and his University of Illinois education colleague, the self-proclaimed revolutionary communist Professor Mike Klonsky? And that Mr. Ayers’s employer, the University of Illinois, contributed a free room to serve as the CAC headquarters?
10. Is it coincidence or significant that not only was Mr. Obama’s first introduction as a political candidate made in the Hyde Park home of Mr. Ayers and Ms. Dohrn, but also, while Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers continued to serve on the CAC together, they participated in public policy panels together? In 1997, they were on a panel at the University of Chicago, purportedly organized by Michelle Obama, entitled, “Should a child ever be called a super predator?” In 2002, they were on a panel at the University of Illinois entitled, “Intellectuals, who needs them?” This cooperation was in addition to the enthusiasm that Mr. Obama expressed in print in 1997 for Mr. Ayers’s book, “A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenille Court.” The unusual loss of all of Mr. Obama’s Illinois State Senate records, 1996-2004, prevents additional discoveries of their policy conversations.
11. Is it coincidence or significant that Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers served on the Woods Fund board together 1999, 2000, 2001, and through mid-December 2002, during which time they together approved grants to many progressive enterprises, including Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity Church and a Chicago organization closely associated with the prominent radical Palestinian booster and confrontational Professor Rashid Khalidi, then of the University of Chicago and now of Columbia University? Is is coincidence or significant that there is no pubic record of the politician Barack Obama rebuking the author Bill Ayers (right, in a book promoting photograph) for his unacceptable remark, published in the New York Times on September 11, 2001, promoting Mr. Ayers’s book, “Fugitive Days” (Beacon Press), that “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”?
12. Is it coincidence or significant that Barack Obama and his spokespersons have changed the explanations about the nature of the relationship between Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama several times since the fact of it was first introduced to the presidential campaign this year? In February, campaign strategist David Axelrod said the men knew each other because their children attended the same private school — despite the generational age difference between the grown Ayers children and very young Obama children. In April, Mr. Obama, when asked during the Philadelphia debate by George Stephanopoulos, said that Ayers was a “guy who lived in the neighborhood” and a “professor of English” — a strange evasion given the facts of their work together on CAC and Woods. In September, Mr. Obama told Bill O’Reilly that he had not “seen” Mr. Ayers in a year and a half. In the Scott Shane piece, we are told by the campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt that the two met on the street a little more than a year ago and that there have been no telephone conversations or text messages between the two since Mr. Obama began serving in the Senate in January 2005. Unfortunately, this sort of non-denial denial does not speak to the repeated, credible reports of communication between Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama via interlocutors such as Mr.Axelrod.
13. Finally, is it coincidence or significant that despite all the heated attention that the Ayers-Dohrn-Obama acquaintanceship has attracted at least since February that Mr. Ayers has refused to end the questions? Mr. Ayers has not been silent in this period. He writes a regular blog, appears at many public events and most recently published a bizarre four-panel cartoon (right) of his Vietnam war resistance thoughts. His colleagues Mike Klonsky and the radical politician Tom Hayden are equally outspoken and are the energy behind Progressives for Obama, a sentimental collection of 1960s radicals now in their autumnal years. One brief message from Mr. Ayers would end the speculation about the unusual coincidences that put both he and Mr. Obama so often in the same cities at the same time with the same activities, and yet they remain unsympathetic and unresolved.
Larry, thanks so much for posting this. We are not letting the untruths in the media go unchecked. Ayers and Obama were very close, and people need to know that Obama was once VERY proud of talking about his role in Ayers’ Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
When I cut up the video, the audio/video synch got skewed somehow. Sorry about the less-than-superior quality of the production, but those are Barack Obama’s own words right there. No escape, not BS-ing this away.
It’s the video Larry posted here, SoCalAnnie. I posted it on my YouTube.

I am glad you pointed that out. Remember the DNC debate on ABC between Clinton and Obama about the Ayers connection? Remember Clinton specifically talked about the Woods foundation that Obama and Ayers were members of. Clinton’s knew that the October 2008 surprise is real b/c Obama is a shady character.
I think there is another lie somewhere — depending on when Michelle O graduated from HLS, it does not make sense that BO did not actually meet her until he summered at Sidley Austin. So there may be some more shiftiness around that point.

If Obama took that photo or was standing next to him in the photo, then you have something. Otherwise, you’re pretty much creating more fake PUMA outrage.
the more they come after Palin about her comment, the more she’s going to raise questions. Nervous? Truth is, Barry Soetoro is a liar and used these shady characters to advance his political career. He wasn’t 8 years old when he worked with Ayers so the “notion” that he was just an iddy biddy boy when Ayers did these things is bullshit.
Link to a funny skit on the bailout on Saturday Night Live last night. Only thing they left out was Obama and ACORN’s part in the meltdown fiasco. But, then again, I guess it’s just not okay to joke about the Mussiah.
Obama is going nuts with the Ayers stuff.
He knows it is true just like William Ayers,(only lives about 2 blocks from him) was he ever in the Trinity Church while Rev. Wright talked about hate of the U.S., Tony Rezko , Governor Blagojevich, Frank Marshall Davis, alleged Communist, was early influence on Barack Obama, Rashid Khalidi: PLO Member & Obama Mentor
Also his drug use
and now a new old buddy Larry Walsh
Just in
The FBI on Wednesday raided the county offices of a former Illinois state senator who is a poker-playing buddy of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.
According to Chicago authorities, the FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of Will County executive Larry Walsh, a longtime friend of Mr. Obama’s, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan. http://cdobs.com/archive/local-media-feeds/fbi-raids-obama-friend-larry-walshs-office%2C1805/
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican National Committee plans to file a fundraising complaint against Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign Monday, alleging it has accepted donations that exceed federal limits as well as illegal contributions from foreigners.
RNC officials acknowledged Sunday that they do not have a list of foreign donors to Obama’s campaign. Instead, the complaint is based largely on media reports, including one from a conservative Web site.
The complaint asks the Federal Elections Commission to audit Obama’s campaign fund, RNC chief counsel Sean Cairncross said in a conference call with reporters.
Cairncross said little is known about many of Obama’s donors because the campaign is not required to disclose detailed information about people who give less than $200.
The Obama campaign, which is not accepting public funds, has raised more than $468 million. About half has come from small donors, a point of pride for the Obama campaign.

They should do one of Obama and Larry Sinclair in the back of a limo
Could someone please help me? I have the video of the children singing to Obama, but there is a video out there that I got off nolib site of innocent children singing for other dictators of other countrys.. It is not in their archives .. It was realy shocking and showed the resemblence between what is going on right now with the Obama use of children and the others.. I need it to send out to emails of undecided voters.. Please, does anyone here have it??
sorry, that belongs in referece to motherinky’s comment about Ayers image standing on the flag and the info that he served on the Woods Fund board at the time.
Never in my lifetime did I ever think we’d have a candidate for president who associated with traitors such as Ayers/Wright/Pleger and Resko.

Tuesday…is gonna be interesting…anyone want to have a bet on how many lbs. Barky loses by the debate…chuckle…FlopSweat cloud spotted drifting toward Mexico…chuckle…
McCain might have to hit hard and bring up a couple of these people. Remember in the 2004 debate when Bush brought up Kerry voted for partial birth abortion thata was a zinger.
This is from the Larry Sinclair site like page 5 / this is the guy who says he did
coke with Obama and sex in Nov 1999 / and the murders
To all the Obama thugs, supporters and surrogates I ask you to ask Barack Obama the following:
1. Senator Obama, did you purchase cocaine on November 6, 1999 for Larry?
2. Senator Obama, did you smoke cocaine in the back of a Five Star Limo & in a room at the Gurnee, IL Comfort Inn and Suites on November 6 & 7, 1999 while receiving oral sex from Larry Sinclair on both of those dates?
3. Senator Obama, did you have an intimate and s*xual relationship with Donald Young?
4. Senator Obama, did you provide Donald Young the phones numbers belonging to Larry Sinclair and ask Mr. Young to find out who Sinclair had spoken with about your gay s*x and crack cocaine use in 1999?
5. Senator Obama, were you involved in the planning and or execution of the murder of Donald Young?
Donald Young, Murdered TUCC Choir Director
6. Senator Obama, did you and/or David Axelrod hire Dan Parisi of whitehouse.com to arrange a rigged polygraph to try and discredit Sinclair?
David Axelrod Dan Parisi, Internet P**n King
7. Senator Obama, did you use Joe Biden and his son Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden to bring false charges against Sinclair to try and protect yourself? Did Joe Biden blackmail you on his own?
Joe & Beau Biden
And the list goes on and on. Can you ask the “Chosen One” to answer those questions?
To all the Media that insist on covering for Barack Obama, I am Larry Sinclair, and I APRROVE THIS MESSAGE.
I am just wondering, because we all know stranger things have happened in American politics? William Ayers in his own book, states that he had homosexual relations with his good buds and I imagine he probably continues to do so? Nothing wrong, I am not anti-gay! But, as the article states, it is possible that Ayers and Obama hung around together during his Colunbia years. This is very strange, so many strange coincidences in Obama-SOetor’s personal life. His east-end gym which he attended in Chicago is listed as gay friendly, as well as Trinity Church. Donald Young, murdered gay choir director for over 20 years, same as Soetoro. I mean there is so much info here which warrents a serious investigative research? MSM, does not touch it??? Look how they jumped all over Larry Craig, Jack McCreevy. This is something which could really blow-up if Soetoro is elected POTUS! Our country has so many problems, we don’t need this distraction.
frank marshall davis is a child rapist according to this article. could it be that obama’s mentor frank davis groomed obama in gay sex and then passed obama on to admitted bi sexual
frank marshall davis is a child rapist according to this article. could it be that obama’s mentor frank davis groomed obama in gay sex and then passed obama on to admitted bi sexual ayers?
Christ, Celsius, there is no physical evidence that objectively proves Oblockhead even exists, little-boy troll. Why don’t you go see if you can actually find some.
He is the only unrepentant terrorist outside of al Qaeda that I can think of and he is a friend and former colleague of Barack Obama. As the man who launched Obama’s political career from his living room, Ayers would most certainly be invited to the White House if BHO wins. Do we want either of these guys near the People’s House?
I would really like to see it? But I don’t need it to convince me of the evil which lurks in Michelle> Just take a good look at the hate which no matter what type of trianing she gets, she can’t hide!

Can Sean Hannity get into this much depth on his show tonight? He’s supposed to touch on most of Obama’s shady associations (at least the known ones). If he had this piece, perhaps he could make the case over successive nights, or on the radio show during the day.
The MSM is not covering this, except as reporting Obama calling it “smears”.

It hasn’t been this fun since WJC ran the first time….Go Johnny Go! Barky could you have Bill Ayers drop off the BC at the couthouse…Phil is waitin to take a look at it…chuckle…Pass the butter
I am so disgusted at the media for not following all this, its a scary thought as to where Obama’s money may have come from, are the people in the media Americans?, do they care about this country at all?
These are the things that should be investigated this man is running for President don’t they care at all?

Larry thanks for posting this. You were the one that told us the story about the Michelle Obama Whitey video, I want to know if this video is real or it was just a huge lie. You said in a lot of detail that Rudy Guiliani had this tape and that it was very damning. Please let us know if this tape is indeed real and when it will be released
I’ve been digging through the archives on this and find that in the first post on this Larry says that he does not know who has the tape and has not seen it himself. he also says (a guess of course) that it will be released as part of an October surprise. There ya go.
When they’re in such a twist, you know they’re aware that this will sink the ship. Don’t get taken in by people pretending to be sympathetic to us or Hillary. Just there to distract.
TALK IS CHEAP … CHECK OBAMA’S RECORD !!!
A candidate’s track record, and associations are always a legitimate issue when running for President. Let’s take a look at the qualifications, judgement, and experience of Obama, who is running for President. Obama had 25 years to fulfill the potential he displayed as a rising start at Harvard Law School … and, how did he live up to that potential? … He chose to align himself with anti-American racist, Jeremiah Wright for TWENTY YEARS … along with Ferrahkan, Rezko, Ayers, and others. As a community organizer, he registered thousands of voters in Chicago … then, when he ran for the state legislature, he took away their votes, by disqualifying his opponent (a black woman) on a technicality. As a U.S. Senator, he voted present 160 times … he never called a meeting on the Afghanistan committee he chaired (although he NOW says we must shift all our military from Iraq to Afghanistan). He claimed Foreign Policy experience from a 9 day whirlwind photo op to 6 countries. And, he spent almost half of his tenure neglecting his responsibilities as a U.S. Senator, so he could run for President. Senator McCain served America honorably for 22 years in the military. He proved his love for America, as well as his honor, integrity and character, by refusing early release as a P.O.W., even while being tortured. He served America as a ‘contributing’ U.S. Senator, working across the aisle, for 20 years. If Obama’s Twentyfive year track record shows he lacks judgement, and can’t be trusted, who cares what he says about Health Care and the Economy! What Obama never learned is Character. He simply can’t be trusted … ask Jeremiah Wright, a friend of 20 years, who Obama betrayed for personal ambition … and, you Obama supporters really think he won’t betray you If he gets elected??? If he gets elected, you Obama supporters will be facing a HUGE disillusionment !!!
his “record” has disappeared, from about 1980-2005. that alone is reason that he should not be elected president. jeezus christ, when are people going to call him on this shit?
Perhaps the RNC would do well to bring up Timothy McVeigh along with Ayers. Since the MSMObamaPR firm
is doing their best to dilute Ayers, maybe a refresher on what domestic terrorists are all about would be in order.
The Repubs are doing something with timing. I hope.
There is so much material to use on Obama, that you would have to be an idiot not to beat him.
Come on RNC. Make us proud. Take this little shit Obama down.
I pray an indictment is coming! Please, please, please!
I lost my stupid boyfriend over this crap so at least let the truth come out!
How about this plea? RNC if you take Odram down permanently, I will give you my vote for the next 10 elections! Seriously, it is that worth it to me! Just don’t run a damned terrorist please!
I agree Shiloh, but it comes to the bigger question,-Ask the American people,” why would you want a man in the presidency,who has friends who were PLO members.”
WELL IT BETTER BREW FAST!!..I have had my Fla absentee ballot for over a week now ..remember many snow birds in Fla vote absentee!! and early vote starts in Fla and Tenn Oct 15th.
We need to see more pic of Obama with Ayers and
bring back the pics of Michelle with Farrakhan’s wife
LICENSES FOR IMMIGRANTS
HEY DID WE FORGET ALL ABOUT THIS/ I HOPE SOMEONE WOULD ASK OBAMA THIS AGAIN
OBAMA granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.
(01-28) 04:00 PDT Washington — Sen. Barack Obama easily won the African American vote in South Carolina, but to woo California Latinos, where he is running 3-to-1 behind rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, he is taking a giant risk: spotlighting his support for the red-hot issue of granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.

Ehemmm….Pest…Not to rain on your parade but NQ is made up of all kinds of folks…and some of this GOP winger stuff…is kinda tired…
Most of us like Johnny for 2 main reasons…
Mcain aint’ a typical Republican
McCain aint’ Obama…I’m just sayin’
Why is the press continuing to ignore Obama’s stewardship as the chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenber Challenge (CAC)?
Great question. Another thing that still irks me is why does everyone in the media let obarky get away with that lame-o “I was only eight years old” line when Ayers did his bombing? Who cares how old Obama was then? What possible difference could it make if he was 8 years, 8 months, 8 weeks or a freakiing embryo?
He became an associate of Ayers when he was an adult and knew what Ayers was.
Our associations play a large part in how we are judged and perceived by others, and rightly so. Who in their right mind would want to be in any type of relationship with someone who has bragged about trying to blow up innocent people? That’s the bottom line.
Yes, its obvious that the media is in the tank for barky. Still, if we don’t keep hammering away, these questions & issues will disappear, which is what barkys campaign undoubtedly wants. I’ve just sent an email to all of the major news outlets asking these questions.
I’ve been reading some in-depth lawyerly stuff on the berg case. As I understand it there may be a serious problem with standing and the suit very well may be dismissed on those grounds. It can be appealed to higher courts but still may be dismissed.
Then what? One law prof here at Ohio State recommends state courts. But there is a timing problem. The suits can still be pursued after the election, even after inauguration were he to win. Then you really have a constitutional crisis. The best hope is probably that the fed court or appellate court decide that they don’t have to act on the case but they can and in the interest of nipping the larger crisis in the bud will do so.

Berg is a former Asst. Atty.General of PA & a former head of the Democratic Party for PA…The Judge presiding over the case…was appointed by WJC.
I think Berg knows his stuff…he filed a response to the joint motion to dismiss…The standing issue imho…will not work…It is a weak argument. I think the Judge will keep the case at least through discovery & THAT IS WHAT THE CASE IS ABOUT
sorry I haven’t researched this… but why wouldn’t Berg have standing? Wouldn’t any American voter have standing to ask for proof that a presidential nominee has met the criteria necessary to run for office?

You can go to his website and ask him yourself.
He or his asst. actually field answers and a lot of legaleagles go there. Obamacrimes.com
He said that the fact that DNC and Barky have filed a joint motion…kinda proves part of his case. He’s great. I think Dean & Barky are in trouble…Berg says He’ll take it to SCOTUS if he has to…He Is One RIGHTEOUS PISSED OFF AMERICAN DEMOCRAT…He is fighting on a principle no doubt about it
Obama probably isn’t answering it because he’s embarrassed. Then you go into this where his mom was only 16, she would have had to be a resident from 14 stuff..
I did run across a birth announcement in the paper on a another website, when he was born. But the Mom was listed in the birth announcement as Mrs. Obama. Okay why did she lie on the birth certificate? There are a couple of grounds where he could be challenged constitutionally, did he take an oath to another country?
This is the clearest way. Berg is right.
If Obama is proven legally incapable of being the president after he wins the US will really have big problems. This bailout and Wall Street mess will be nothing compared to the problems then.
We will not only have problems with probably getting him out; there will more than likely be a huge problems with the DNC and all of the governmental people in DC (Senate, Congress, Judical and etc.) I have a feeling if Obama wins and he was not technicallly legal to run someone will try and say that its ok since the people voted him in.
I cannot figure out why this issue has not been properly addressed. You know the issues of no hospital records, different name in school, different citizenship in school, dual citizenship, a BC that is fraudulant and etc.
It would be like WJC Lewinsky mess on steroids. We know the media is always slow to pick things up. It might be after he is elected. It will make for great television. I think everybody would be fine for Biden as president.
Larry, that is an awesome post, and I rarely use that word (because of its overuse).
John Kass said something today that caught my eye:
The Chicago Way is a road the Beltway media establishment dare not travel. It must frighten them. It conflicts with their fairy tale about Obama as reformer, and they’re much too busy rummaging through garbage cans in Alaska to bother about Chicago’s political alleys.
That’s about it, isn’t it? There’s no story in Alaska, beyond the trivial, but the press refuses to upset the Obama applecart by looking seriously at Rezko.
There is so much powerful imagery out there, I don’t know why the RNC and the 527s and McCain seem to be playing so gentle. There is the man whose family was targeted by the underground and they just barely escaped being killed. He is articulate and his story is amazing. This stuff needs to perc to the surface. Ayers stomping on the flag. It’s worth a million bucks. Obama’s BS answers, “Ayers is an English prof” no, he ain’t… he’s in education.
Obama has to have known this. I mean Obama’s stupid, but the CAC was about education, wasn’t it?
Obama’s lies on Wright and Trinity. He heard it, he didn’t hear it, he heard it…
This is like gold falling from heaven. Where are the ads to let John and Jane Public get a good earfull? Obama is the most flawed candidate ever to steal a nomination. You couldn’t dream of a bigger fool to have as your opponent. So why aren’t the repubs handing his ass to him?
I am not fully familiar with the training of all the branches of the American Armed Forces. But I do know one branch has an indoctrination and boot camp training that last for 12 weeks and then a 2nd ITR training that last 4 weeks. After the 12 week training and upon graduation the recruits are then called United States Marines.
Obama begin his indoctrination and training in socialism/communism and racism when he was a child, (if he begin when he was 8 years old) beginning with his mentor Frank Marshal Davis, maybe even before Davis. Obama has spent the last 20 years of his life in a church that preaches anti-American sermons and racism. Whoe’s preacher , Rev Wright, is a known associate of the Religion and Socialism Commission of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Obama has been indoctrinated and trained for at least 40 years by the socialist/communist parties. It only take 12 + 4 or 16 weeks to become a fully indoctrinated and fully trained United States Marine.
Plus, there is the added fact that Frank Marshall Davis admitts that he is a Marxist and Bisexual. Plus, in that book which I can’t remeber, he is a pervert, had sex with a 13 yr old girl, who he called Ann? In his own book, Obama refers to Marshall as his Uncle Frank. Who directed him to Chicago? Uhmmm, so much here???
Seems as if some people think “Frank” may be the father of Obama. I believe that family (the Dunhams) relation with Frank may go back farther than is generally thought because both Davis and the Dunhams originated in Kansas. I think Davis and the Dunhams knew each other before Hawaii. Or that may be one of the reasons they all became friends. Who knows?
yes, Obama’s excuse would be like me 10 years from now befriending Khalid Sheikh Muhammed if he got a degree in teaching.
His excuse is bad and even worse the media eats it up.
Not to mention, Bill Ayers said as recently as 9/11/01 that he would not rule out another campaign of bombs.
By obama’s logic in ten years Osama can be forgiven if he becomes a professor at chicago.
I remember a few months ago Greta had the son of a judge whose house was bombed by the weathermen for overseeing a Black Panther trial.
This kid was 8 at the time it happened. He is not so forgiving of William Ayers. I do not give a fuck if obama was not born when it happened.
I expect my president to not chum around with cats who HATE our country and think were evil.
Bernadine Dorhn praises Charles Manson. It is crazy.
If Palin can get this to flow through the networks, even them defending it. It can be deadly.
9/11 and terrorism is fresh on america’s mind.
If poeple start thinking about Hussien obama, terrorists, and felons. he will lose.
America has more decency than to let him stroll in the white house and paint it communist red.
Pelosi and the DemoRats lied to us
Stock market was at a record high 15 months ago. The House market started going down the tubes about a year ago and the Recession has started since Democrats have been in control of Congress
If you look back ever since the Democrats have taken over the Congress in Jan, 2007 it has been going downhill.Obama is trying to make like it is the GOP fault. The Democrat controlled Congress since Jan 2007 has helped caused the Market go down and now this new crap
Now look what’s happened This Dem Congress has screwed up
big time Barney Frank and Dodd should go to jail with pelosi for lying to us
and trying to blame the GOP / just check the record
If we really think about many of us have money in funds and banks that could be
Affected but the DemoRats politicians have millions at stake of there personal money and they want us middle class to pay for it
As an alien I have a unique outside perspective. Easier to see the forest in the trees when one is hovering overhead in an advanced electrogravitic conveyance.
FBI raids Obama friend’s office
Andrea Billups (Contact)

Editor’s note: The headline has been corrected.)

According to Chicago authorities, the FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of Will County executive Larry Walsh, a longtime friend of Mr. Obama’s, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan.
This episode is now embroiled in politics as a Republican opponent apparently blew the whistle. It may be totally legit, but the timing is now making the whole thing a political issue… we’ll have to see what happens….
Republicans Lodge Fundraising Complaint Against Obama
WASHINGTON: RNC alleges Democratic presidential candidate has accepted illegal donations from foreigners and contributions over the legal limit.
from Fox News Website. We still need to email Dept. of Justice and ask them to investigate.
I just shot off a quick email…said that I was not a Republican, just disgusted Democrat who knew a lot about Obama that the media wouldn’t cover. I said the issue of illegal foreign contribution had to be investigated…the media sure isn’t going to ask questions…
All we hear now is the sound of crickets coming from the Obama campaign. The only rejoinder for Sarah “we knew smears would be coming from the McCain camp…according to the NYT they weren’t pals…”(paraphrasing).
THAT’S IT, a th tha that’s all folks!
Meanwhile even the MSM has to do its job…well at least mentioning the terrorist comment by SARAH who certainly went after Obama’s ass.
I find it hard to believe after Gov Palin mentioning, she read in the NYT yesterday, Obama ties to Domestic Terrorists, the News media outlets haven’t made it page one news and the Topic for discussion on today’s MTP.
With the election 3 weeks away. Shouldn’t the public be informed of the nefarious ties of a candidate for the US presidency? And as a candidate who is unable to produce a Birth Certificate stating he is a Natural Born Citizen as per the Constitution’s A2 requirement?

I think Tony Rezco will start singing, if he hasn’t started singing already. I bet the Republican party has gone to him and told him to spill the beans, also the whitey tape, real or fake, I really want to know what gives with that tape
Tell
The media will not cover any negative story on Obama–Letterman, Leno,SNL, Colbert, and Stewart have all let loose on McCain, Palin and Clinton but I have not seen one nasty, contemptuous piece on BO. The puppets make millions doing what their corporate bosses ell them to do–they’d drink poison before they’d let go of their messiah(jim jones and BO have a great deal in common). Something’s coming, they kept Palin secret and they’ve got another one–hang in there–can’t bring it out until after October 15th, as close to the end as possible so there’s no time for rebuttal. Have faith.
Question (please answer if you know) : How did Obama get into Harvard if he did not graduate Columbia with honors? I read he didn’t graduate Columbia with honors and no release of transcript… then how did he get into Harvard?
We don’t know anything about Oblockhead BECAUSE he has released nothing. We still have no proof he is even a citizen (other than bot side-shows that prove only that they are idiots).
Well another question has be. Where did the funds come from? Who paid? If he didn’t graduate or receive high grades in Columbia, did he qualify for student assistence? So many questions?
“Obama, in his 1995 memoir, said he wanted to go to Harvard Law School to “learn power’s currency in all its intricacy,” with the goal of “making large-scale change” as a national politician.”
“Some blogs speculate Obama may be covering up associations with controversial figures who were at Columbia at the time, such as former Carter national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, who taught at Columbia until 1990. Brzezinski is known for his extreme liberal positions, particularly regarding the war on terror. For example, he favors dialogue with the Hamas terror organization.
Asked whether he knew Obama from Columbia, Brzezinski told the Journal he doesn’t remember meeting him.”
“Obama spent two years at Columbia University yet left virtually no fingerprints of his presence there. Could that be because Columbia was where Mr. Obama first met ‘mad bomber’ William Ayers?” asked Martin.
Ayers was at the time just resurfacing in New York after living underground following his Weathermen days. He has well-established connections to Columbia, which was the scene of the famed 1968 Columbia University strikes in which hundreds of students seized several university buildings. The strikes were led by the Columbia chapter of Ayers’ Students for a Democratic Society, from which the Weathermen later splintered. Multiple Weathermen leaders were Columbia students.”
Well GWB went to Harvard. Remember Obama Sr. went, and they do give some points for that. I’ve never seen transcripts. I don’t understand why the bots keep saying he’s so smart.
Pretty funny… I heard some ObamaMSM cheerleader talking about the upcoming town hall style debate. She said
“well, town halls aren’t Obama’s strongsuit.” Then she said and debates aren’t his best forum.
Hmm. okay, what does that leave?
What’s Barry’s strongsuit?
We know it isn’t passing legislation.
We know it isn’t writing legislation.
So what’s Barry so good at?
Is it really just reading off a teleprompter? He doesn’t do that well, either.

Fantastic Larry. This site is the best “high information” site for all things barky.
Ob was 9 in 1970, he was 20 in 1981 and he was 30 in 1991 when Ayers said “guilty as hell”
I read the following list last April on the WAPO’s “the trail” and although I knew decades ago that Ayers was and always will be a criminal and a lunatic, this drove home how sick he really was.
the list copied and pasted:
Ayers and Dohrn were FOUNDING MEMBERS of the Weathermen, a violent terrorist group who escaped prosection because of surveilance tactics, not because they were innocent of wrongdoing. They terrorized government agencies for years threatening to bomb them and succeeded in doing so.
10/7/69 Bombing of Haymarket Police Statue in Chicago, as “kickoff” for “Days of Rage” riots
10/8/69 “Days of Rage” riots in Chicago - 287 Weatherman were arrested and a large amount of property damage done
10/6/69 Bombing of Chicago Police cars. The WUO stated in their book “Prairie Fire” that they did the explosion
12/27/69 Weathermen hold “War Council” finalizing plans to submerge into an underground status from which they plan to commit strategic acts of sabotage against the government. Thereafter they are called the “Weather Underground Organization” WUO. Dohrn raised three fingers in a “fork salute” to CHARLES MANSON, whom she proposed as a revolutionary inspiration. She went on to joke about Manson’s victims. “Dig it,” said Dohrn at the time. “First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!”
1969 Ayers attempted to extort money from the Vietnam Moratorium Committee, demanding $20,000 to abstain from violence during a planned peace protest. After rejecting this demand, a member of the group asked Ayers what he really wanted. “To kill all rich people,” Ayers responded. When another peace activist pointed out that Ayers came from wealth, he answered with an angry slogan: “Bring the war home. Kill your parents.”
2/13/70 Bombing of Berkeley CA police vehicles
2/16/70 Bombing of San Francisco Police Department, killing one officer and injuring a number of other policemen
3/6/70 Bombing Detroit PD. 34 sticks of dynamite are discovered. During Feb and early March, 1970, members of the WUO, led by Bill Ayers, are in Detroit, during that period, for the purpose of bombing a police facility
3/6/70 “bomb factory” located in Greenwich Village explodes. WUO members die. The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer’s dance at Fort Dix, NJ that night. The bomb was packed with nails TO INFILICT MAXIMUM CASUALTIES UPON DETONATION
3/30/70 Chicago Police discover WUO “bomb factory” on Chicago’s north side. Subsequent discovery of WUO “weapons cache” in south side Chicago apartment several days later ends WUO activity in the city
5/10/70 Bombing of The National Guard Association building in Washington, D.C.
5/21/70 WUO under Bernardine Dohrn’s name releases its “Declaration of a State of War” communique

Ayers disappeared from 1970 till 1980 and he was not implicated in the Brinks job when it went to trial.
This list is what the WU did. He was a founding member and was always the most prominent name of the org. He was infamous for his guilt, his violence, his radicalism and his absolute audacity and lack of remorse.
They don’t have to have been close. Suppose it came out that McCain met, had talks with, served on some boards with, maybe more - an abortion clinic bomber. Do you suppose he could get away with it now by saying “we weren’t close?” Besides, it’s the pattern of associations. Sometimes it seems like almost everyone Obama associated with in his shady, undocumented past was an America-hater.

thanks for posting the list. I didn’t know about this item. Whew. I guess intellectuals in times of crisis go out and bomb the pentagon, courthouses and private residences. And little darling Michelle organized it? Are we in for a “that’s not the Bill Ayers I knew..”

What is gonna be done about all the voter fraud in Ohio, I am surprised Obama isn’t up 20 over there with all the dead people voting, and dogs and cats, and felons and people being bussed in from other states and pretending to be from Ohio. Basically what will end up happening is that Ohio will not count, and they will all have to vote again and PROVE they are residents of Ohio. What Obama is doing is CRIMINAL, and you all know why he is doing it, because he knows HE CANT WIN FAIR AND SQUARE that’s why. Winning an election is fine by me, STEALING an election will NOT be allowed to happen!
Sarracuda, you make a good point. Wouldn’t it be an interesting strategy if Obama is just trying to destroy the election in Ohio (knowing that he can’t win the state)? It sounds exactly like Michigan in the primaries, doesn’t it?
There’s a funky idea.
God I hate Obama.
You are making too much of this, there are bigger fish to fry. The votes can’t be counted until they are verified. It’s an exercise in futility. Obama is not going to carry Ohio. Tell everyone Shiloh in Ohio says so.
Comment by Sarracuda In So Cal
| 2008-10-05 17:15:35
Are you sure? So whats the point in doing this, they have to verify every single person is a resident of Ohio and is of course NOT dead right? I heard massive voter fraud is going on in Indiana too, that ACORN was even caught trying to register dead people to vote
On Fox: Claire McCaskill saying that if McCain is a strong leader, he’ll shut Palin up. Very sincere try, Claire, but the floodgates have opened. Sorry, no can do. Strap yourself in.

The issue is too complex to sum up and put in a few succint sentences to convey the true implication of this association. There is no way to make a credible ad that gets the gist of this across clearly and strongly. You could have him standing on the flag with the date 200? whatever it was, and some kind of headline. Where’s the connection to Obama? That’s what you have to show, loudly and clearly. Right now, its too vague and sounds only like a smear.

Larry, thanks so much for posting this. We are not letting the untruths in the media go unchecked. Ayers and Obama were very close, and people need to know that Obama was once VERY proud of talking about his role in Ayers’ Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
When I cut up the video, the audio/video synch got skewed somehow. Sorry about the less-than-superior quality of the production, but those are Barack Obama’s own words right there. No escape, not BS-ing this away.
No Quarter — you rock!
Where’s the video? On your website?
It’s the video Larry posted here, SoCalAnnie. I posted it on my YouTube.
Correction: The audio/video synch problem is in the original video. I thought it was my edit that messed it up but the problem is in the source I used.
Okay, thanks Paul. I did go to your website to get caught up. Greatly enjoy your videos!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ayers was on Woods Fund with Barack Obama when Ayers trampled the flag.
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/31476_Ayers_Was_on_Woods_Fund_Board_with_Obama_When_He_Stepped_on_Flag
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am glad you pointed that out. Remember the DNC debate on ABC between Clinton and Obama about the Ayers connection? Remember Clinton specifically talked about the Woods foundation that Obama and Ayers were members of. Clinton’s knew that the October 2008 surprise is real b/c Obama is a shady character.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlnoXZWRjgE
Refresh your memory with the youtube. Democrats are about to get they asses whooped in high fashion. PUMA 2008!
Obama is such a liar. He’s disgusting.
Its much worse than being a liar. It is what he is lying about.
I think there is another lie somewhere — depending on when Michelle O graduated from HLS, it does not make sense that BO did not actually meet her until he summered at Sidley Austin. So there may be some more shiftiness around that point.
Fabulous! OMG! Obama didn’t deny the woods foundation!
If Obama took that photo or was standing next to him in the photo, then you have something. Otherwise, you’re pretty much creating more fake PUMA outrage.
if don’t understand why repeated, uncritical asoociation with a known america-hating bomber is a bad thing, then i couldn’t explain it to you.
the more they come after Palin about her comment, the more she’s going to raise questions. Nervous? Truth is, Barry Soetoro is a liar and used these shady characters to advance his political career. He wasn’t 8 years old when he worked with Ayers so the “notion” that he was just an iddy biddy boy when Ayers did these things is bullshit.
You must be a thug, too, huh, Celsius? You are known by the company you adore.
By the way, you’re a liar, too. More than a month ago you promised to not come back here.
Like master, like bot.

Obama is going nuts with the Ayers stuff.
He knows it is true just like William Ayers,(only lives about 2 blocks from him) was he ever in the Trinity Church while Rev. Wright talked about hate of the U.S., Tony Rezko , Governor Blagojevich, Frank Marshall Davis, alleged Communist, was early influence on Barack Obama, Rashid Khalidi: PLO Member & Obama Mentor
Also his drug use
and now a new old buddy Larry Walsh
Just in
The FBI on Wednesday raided the county offices of a former Illinois state senator who is a poker-playing buddy of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.
According to Chicago authorities, the FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of Will County executive Larry Walsh, a longtime friend of Mr. Obama’s, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan.

If you are correct is Fitz waiting until after the election to do indict? What a mess that would create! President Biden? Or even Pelosi? Disaster!
Hmmmm…Fitz is a fed….
OFF TOPIC: But very interesting.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican National Committee plans to file a fundraising complaint against Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign Monday, alleging it has accepted donations that exceed federal limits as well as illegal contributions from foreigners.
RNC officials acknowledged Sunday that they do not have a list of foreign donors to Obama’s campaign. Instead, the complaint is based largely on media reports, including one from a conservative Web site.
The complaint asks the Federal Elections Commission to audit Obama’s campaign fund, RNC chief counsel Sean Cairncross said in a conference call with reporters.
Cairncross said little is known about many of Obama’s donors because the campaign is not required to disclose detailed information about people who give less than $200.
The Obama campaign, which is not accepting public funds, has raised more than $468 million. About half has come from small donors, a point of pride for the Obama campaign.
The Obama campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

McCain might have to hit hard and bring up a couple of these people. Remember in the 2004 debate when Bush brought up Kerry voted for partial birth abortion thata was a zinger.
This is from the Larry Sinclair site like page 5 / this is the guy who says he did
coke with Obama and sex in Nov 1999 / and the murders
To all the Obama thugs, supporters and surrogates I ask you to ask Barack Obama the following:
1. Senator Obama, did you purchase cocaine on November 6, 1999 for Larry?
2. Senator Obama, did you smoke cocaine in the back of a Five Star Limo & in a room at the Gurnee, IL Comfort Inn and Suites on November 6 & 7, 1999 while receiving oral sex from Larry Sinclair on both of those dates?
3. Senator Obama, did you have an intimate and s*xual relationship with Donald Young?
4. Senator Obama, did you provide Donald Young the phones numbers belonging to Larry Sinclair and ask Mr. Young to find out who Sinclair had spoken with about your gay s*x and crack cocaine use in 1999?
5. Senator Obama, were you involved in the planning and or execution of the murder of Donald Young?
Donald Young, Murdered TUCC Choir Director
6. Senator Obama, did you and/or David Axelrod hire Dan Parisi of whitehouse.com to arrange a rigged polygraph to try and discredit Sinclair?
David Axelrod Dan Parisi, Internet P**n King
7. Senator Obama, did you use Joe Biden and his son Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden to bring false charges against Sinclair to try and protect yourself? Did Joe Biden blackmail you on his own?
Joe & Beau Biden
And the list goes on and on. Can you ask the “Chosen One” to answer those questions?
To all the Media that insist on covering for Barack Obama, I am Larry Sinclair, and I APRROVE THIS MESSAGE.

I am just wondering, because we all know stranger things have happened in American politics? William Ayers in his own book, states that he had homosexual relations with his good buds and I imagine he probably continues to do so? Nothing wrong, I am not anti-gay! But, as the article states, it is possible that Ayers and Obama hung around together during his Colunbia years. This is very strange, so many strange coincidences in Obama-SOetor’s personal life. His east-end gym which he attended in Chicago is listed as gay friendly, as well as Trinity Church. Donald Young, murdered gay choir director for over 20 years, same as Soetoro. I mean there is so much info here which warrents a serious investigative research? MSM, does not touch it??? Look how they jumped all over Larry Craig, Jack McCreevy. This is something which could really blow-up if Soetoro is elected POTUS! Our country has so many problems, we don’t need this distraction.

Would Bill Ayers Like to Blow Up The White House?
He is the only unrepentant terrorist outside of al Qaeda that I can think of and he is a friend and former colleague of Barack Obama. As the man who launched Obama’s political career from his living room, Ayers would most certainly be invited to the White House if BHO wins. Do we want either of these guys near the People’s House?
http://patriotroom.com/?p=2799
No! Not now, not ever!
Larry, Is the whitey tape dead?
I would really like to see it? But I don’t need it to convince me of the evil which lurks in Michelle> Just take a good look at the hate which no matter what type of trianing she gets, she can’t hide!
No and I don’t want George Soros there either. Or Ludacris. Or any of his other racist, terrorist, traitor, world domination goons.
Can Sean Hannity get into this much depth on his show tonight? He’s supposed to touch on most of Obama’s shady associations (at least the known ones). If he had this piece, perhaps he could make the case over successive nights, or on the radio show during the day.
The MSM is not covering this, except as reporting Obama calling it “smears”.
Any questions directed at the master are smears by definition and will be dealt with accordingly.

Why isn’t this being investigated???
I am so disgusted at the media for not following all this, its a scary thought as to where Obama’s money may have come from, are the people in the media Americans?, do they care about this country at all?
These are the things that should be investigated this man is running for President don’t they care at all?
Larry thanks for posting this. You were the one that told us the story about the Michelle Obama Whitey video, I want to know if this video is real or it was just a huge lie. You said in a lot of detail that Rudy Guiliani had this tape and that it was very damning. Please let us know if this tape is indeed real and when it will be released
I’ve been digging through the archives on this and find that in the first post on this Larry says that he does not know who has the tape and has not seen it himself. he also says (a guess of course) that it will be released as part of an October surprise. There ya go.

TALK IS CHEAP … CHECK OBAMA’S RECORD !!!
A candidate’s track record, and associations are always a legitimate issue when running for President. Let’s take a look at the qualifications, judgement, and experience of Obama, who is running for President. Obama had 25 years to fulfill the potential he displayed as a rising start at Harvard Law School … and, how did he live up to that potential? … He chose to align himself with anti-American racist, Jeremiah Wright for TWENTY YEARS … along with Ferrahkan, Rezko, Ayers, and others. As a community organizer, he registered thousands of voters in Chicago … then, when he ran for the state legislature, he took away their votes, by disqualifying his opponent (a black woman) on a technicality. As a U.S. Senator, he voted present 160 times … he never called a meeting on the Afghanistan committee he chaired (although he NOW says we must shift all our military from Iraq to Afghanistan). He claimed Foreign Policy experience from a 9 day whirlwind photo op to 6 countries. And, he spent almost half of his tenure neglecting his responsibilities as a U.S. Senator, so he could run for President. Senator McCain served America honorably for 22 years in the military. He proved his love for America, as well as his honor, integrity and character, by refusing early release as a P.O.W., even while being tortured. He served America as a ‘contributing’ U.S. Senator, working across the aisle, for 20 years. If Obama’s Twentyfive year track record shows he lacks judgement, and can’t be trusted, who cares what he says about Health Care and the Economy! What Obama never learned is Character. He simply can’t be trusted … ask Jeremiah Wright, a friend of 20 years, who Obama betrayed for personal ambition … and, you Obama supporters really think he won’t betray you If he gets elected??? If he gets elected, you Obama supporters will be facing a HUGE disillusionment !!!
his “record” has disappeared, from about 1980-2005. that alone is reason that he should not be elected president. jeezus christ, when are people going to call him on this shit?
Ehemmmm….Berg has called Barky & the DNC on that
obamacrimes.com
Perhaps the RNC would do well to bring up Timothy McVeigh along with Ayers. Since the MSMObamaPR firm
is doing their best to dilute Ayers, maybe a refresher on what domestic terrorists are all about would be in order.
The Repubs are doing something with timing. I hope.
There is so much material to use on Obama, that you would have to be an idiot not to beat him.
Come on RNC. Make us proud. Take this little shit Obama down.
Action speaks louder than words.
McCain/Palin 08
I still think Ayers will be secondary in the Obama takedown. Maybe even a decoy of sorts.
I have the same feeling. Seems maybe something bigger and better is brewing.
Could be! Keep your popcorn and butter well stocked!
LOL, where’s the popcorn concession?
OK.
That will be 50 Quatloos for a bucket with butter.
I pray an indictment is coming! Please, please, please!
I lost my stupid boyfriend over this crap so at least let the truth come out!
How about this plea? RNC if you take Odram down permanently, I will give you my vote for the next 10 elections! Seriously, it is that worth it to me! Just don’t run a damned terrorist please!
At least it wasn’t your smart boyfriend.
I agree Shiloh, but it comes to the bigger question,-Ask the American people,” why would you want a man in the presidency,who has friends who were PLO members.”

HEY DID WE FORGET ALL ABOUT THIS/ I HOPE SOMEONE WOULD ASK OBAMA THIS AGAIN
OBAMA granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.
(01-28) 04:00 PDT Washington — Sen. Barack Obama easily won the African American vote in South Carolina, but to woo California Latinos, where he is running 3-to-1 behind rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, he is taking a giant risk: spotlighting his support for the red-hot issue of granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.

Ehemmm….Pest…Not to rain on your parade but NQ is made up of all kinds of folks…and some of this GOP winger stuff…is kinda tired…
Most of us like Johnny for 2 main reasons…
Mcain aint’ a typical Republican
McCain aint’ Obama…I’m just sayin’
Great question. Another thing that still irks me is why does everyone in the media let obarky get away with that lame-o “I was only eight years old” line when Ayers did his bombing? Who cares how old Obama was then? What possible difference could it make if he was 8 years, 8 months, 8 weeks or a freakiing embryo?
He became an associate of Ayers when he was an adult and knew what Ayers was.
Our associations play a large part in how we are judged and perceived by others, and rightly so. Who in their right mind would want to be in any type of relationship with someone who has bragged about trying to blow up innocent people? That’s the bottom line.
Great post, Larry, as usual. Thank you.
I don’t understand why everyone keeps asking “why” the msm is doing what they are doing when why is abundantly clear.
Yes, its obvious that the media is in the tank for barky. Still, if we don’t keep hammering away, these questions & issues will disappear, which is what barkys campaign undoubtedly wants. I’ve just sent an email to all of the major news outlets asking these questions.
I’ve been reading some in-depth lawyerly stuff on the berg case. As I understand it there may be a serious problem with standing and the suit very well may be dismissed on those grounds. It can be appealed to higher courts but still may be dismissed.
Then what? One law prof here at Ohio State recommends state courts. But there is a timing problem. The suits can still be pursued after the election, even after inauguration were he to win. Then you really have a constitutional crisis. The best hope is probably that the fed court or appellate court decide that they don’t have to act on the case but they can and in the interest of nipping the larger crisis in the bud will do so.
Berg is a former Asst. Atty.General of PA & a former head of the Democratic Party for PA…The Judge presiding over the case…was appointed by WJC.
I think Berg knows his stuff…he filed a response to the joint motion to dismiss…The standing issue imho…will not work…It is a weak argument. I think the Judge will keep the case at least through discovery & THAT IS WHAT THE CASE IS ABOUT
sorry I haven’t researched this… but why wouldn’t Berg have standing? Wouldn’t any American voter have standing to ask for proof that a presidential nominee has met the criteria necessary to run for office?
You can go to his website and ask him yourself.
He or his asst. actually field answers and a lot of legaleagles go there. Obamacrimes.com
He said that the fact that DNC and Barky have filed a joint motion…kinda proves part of his case. He’s great. I think Dean & Barky are in trouble…Berg says He’ll take it to SCOTUS if he has to…He Is One RIGHTEOUS PISSED OFF AMERICAN DEMOCRAT…He is fighting on a principle no doubt about it
thanks for the link. I’m on my way.
Obama probably isn’t answering it because he’s embarrassed. Then you go into this where his mom was only 16, she would have had to be a resident from 14 stuff..
I did run across a birth announcement in the paper on a another website, when he was born. But the Mom was listed in the birth announcement as Mrs. Obama. Okay why did she lie on the birth certificate? There are a couple of grounds where he could be challenged constitutionally, did he take an oath to another country?
This is the clearest way. Berg is right.
LMAO. At that point Oblockhead would go into meltdown mode. I’m still waiting for that inevitability to occur.
DISCOVERY…IS A BITCH…
Perhaps Ludacris could put that to music.
Hahahaha
LOL…could make a stylish tattoo…too…
Praise the Lord & Pass the Hamas
If Obama is proven legally incapable of being the president after he wins the US will really have big problems. This bailout and Wall Street mess will be nothing compared to the problems then.
We will not only have problems with probably getting him out; there will more than likely be a huge problems with the DNC and all of the governmental people in DC (Senate, Congress, Judical and etc.) I have a feeling if Obama wins and he was not technicallly legal to run someone will try and say that its ok since the people voted him in.
I cannot figure out why this issue has not been properly addressed. You know the issues of no hospital records, different name in school, different citizenship in school, dual citizenship, a BC that is fraudulant and etc.
If Berg Proves the Collusion Between the DNC & Barky…they are all of them…From Pelosi to Brazille gonna be in BIGASS Trouble….
Discovery…is a bitch
It would be like WJC Lewinsky mess on steroids. We know the media is always slow to pick things up. It might be after he is elected. It will make for great television. I think everybody would be fine for Biden as president.
and Biden picks Hillary as VP and he has to stand down due to illness…
Voila Yes Mrs President!
Larry, that is an awesome post, and I rarely use that word (because of its overuse).
John Kass said something today that caught my eye:
Hat tip to Real Barack Obama for the link to Kass’ piece in the Chicago Tribune. http://therealbarackobama.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/obama-and-the-chicago-way/
That’s about it, isn’t it? There’s no story in Alaska, beyond the trivial, but the press refuses to upset the Obama applecart by looking seriously at Rezko.
Could the press be afraif of cement shoes for why they don’t go to Chicago?
I do not understand.
There is so much powerful imagery out there, I don’t know why the RNC and the 527s and McCain seem to be playing so gentle. There is the man whose family was targeted by the underground and they just barely escaped being killed. He is articulate and his story is amazing. This stuff needs to perc to the surface. Ayers stomping on the flag. It’s worth a million bucks. Obama’s BS answers, “Ayers is an English prof” no, he ain’t… he’s in education.
Obama has to have known this. I mean Obama’s stupid, but the CAC was about education, wasn’t it?
Obama’s lies on Wright and Trinity. He heard it, he didn’t hear it, he heard it…
This is like gold falling from heaven. Where are the ads to let John and Jane Public get a good earfull? Obama is the most flawed candidate ever to steal a nomination. You couldn’t dream of a bigger fool to have as your opponent. So why aren’t the repubs handing his ass to him?

I am not fully familiar with the training of all the branches of the American Armed Forces. But I do know one branch has an indoctrination and boot camp training that last for 12 weeks and then a 2nd ITR training that last 4 weeks. After the 12 week training and upon graduation the recruits are then called United States Marines.
Obama begin his indoctrination and training in socialism/communism and racism when he was a child, (if he begin when he was 8 years old) beginning with his mentor Frank Marshal Davis, maybe even before Davis. Obama has spent the last 20 years of his life in a church that preaches anti-American sermons and racism. Whoe’s preacher , Rev Wright, is a known associate of the Religion and Socialism Commission of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Obama has been indoctrinated and trained for at least 40 years by the socialist/communist parties. It only take 12 + 4 or 16 weeks to become a fully indoctrinated and fully trained United States Marine.
Plus, there is the added fact that Frank Marshall Davis admitts that he is a Marxist and Bisexual. Plus, in that book which I can’t remeber, he is a pervert, had sex with a 13 yr old girl, who he called Ann? In his own book, Obama refers to Marshall as his Uncle Frank. Who directed him to Chicago? Uhmmm, so much here???
Seems as if some people think “Frank” may be the father of Obama. I believe that family (the Dunhams) relation with Frank may go back farther than is generally thought because both Davis and the Dunhams originated in Kansas. I think Davis and the Dunhams knew each other before Hawaii. Or that may be one of the reasons they all became friends. Who knows?
yes, Obama’s excuse would be like me 10 years from now befriending Khalid Sheikh Muhammed if he got a degree in teaching.
His excuse is bad and even worse the media eats it up.
Not to mention, Bill Ayers said as recently as 9/11/01 that he would not rule out another campaign of bombs.
By obama’s logic in ten years Osama can be forgiven if he becomes a professor at chicago.
I remember a few months ago Greta had the son of a judge whose house was bombed by the weathermen for overseeing a Black Panther trial.
This kid was 8 at the time it happened. He is not so forgiving of William Ayers. I do not give a fuck if obama was not born when it happened.
I expect my president to not chum around with cats who HATE our country and think were evil.
Bernadine Dorhn praises Charles Manson. It is crazy.
If Palin can get this to flow through the networks, even them defending it. It can be deadly.
9/11 and terrorism is fresh on america’s mind.
If poeple start thinking about Hussien obama, terrorists, and felons. he will lose.
America has more decency than to let him stroll in the white house and paint it communist red.
Pelosi and the DemoRats lied to us
Stock market was at a record high 15 months ago. The House market started going down the tubes about a year ago and the Recession has started since Democrats have been in control of Congress
If you look back ever since the Democrats have taken over the Congress in Jan, 2007 it has been going downhill.Obama is trying to make like it is the GOP fault. The Democrat controlled Congress since Jan 2007 has helped caused the Market go down and now this new crap
Now look what’s happened This Dem Congress has screwed up
big time Barney Frank and Dodd should go to jail with pelosi for lying to us
and trying to blame the GOP / just check the record
If we really think about many of us have money in funds and banks that could be
Affected but the DemoRats politicians have millions at stake of there personal money and they want us middle class to pay for it
PEST you might want to go easy as McCain needs us DemoRats and former DemoRats in order to defeat Obama.
That is a point that needed to be made. Kudos.
Hey Ferd my pal, thanks!
No problem. Bots of all persuasions have infested these confines.

FBI raids Obama friend’s office
Andrea Billups (Contact)
Friday, October 3, 2008
Editor’s note: The headline has been corrected.)
The FBI on Wednesday raided the county offices of a former Illinois state senator who is a poker-playing buddy of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.
According to Chicago authorities, the FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of Will County executive Larry Walsh, a longtime friend of Mr. Obama’s, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan.
Come on Fitzgerald!
I wonder if this action is a result of Tony Rezko’s visit to downtown??? Singing like a canary?
Could be related.
This episode is now embroiled in politics as a Republican opponent apparently blew the whistle. It may be totally legit, but the timing is now making the whole thing a political issue… we’ll have to see what happens….
just saw this somewhere else
Republicans Lodge Fundraising Complaint Against Obama
WASHINGTON: RNC alleges Democratic presidential candidate has accepted illegal donations from foreigners and contributions over the legal limit.
from Fox News Website. We still need to email Dept. of Justice and ask them to investigate.
Email: oig.hotline@usdoj.gov
I just shot off a quick email…said that I was not a Republican, just disgusted Democrat who knew a lot about Obama that the media wouldn’t cover. I said the issue of illegal foreign contribution had to be investigated…the media sure isn’t going to ask questions…
Gee, disbursing $100 million….sort of like running a campaign, right? Actually, probably more hands on that “running a campaign”…
Guys remember…Rudy & his security firm are SOOOO On Top of this…Sit Back and enjoy the show…chuckle…
Excellent article Larry. I just read that Obama is up 7pts. in Ohio. It must be due to all that voter fraud that is now going on there.
NC girl Ohio is about even. I might believe that in Nevada and New Mexico but not Ohio.
All we hear now is the sound of crickets coming from the Obama campaign. The only rejoinder for Sarah “we knew smears would be coming from the McCain camp…according to the NYT they weren’t pals…”(paraphrasing).
THAT’S IT, a th tha that’s all folks!
Meanwhile even the MSM has to do its job…well at least mentioning the terrorist comment by SARAH who certainly went after Obama’s ass.
…crickets…
I find it hard to believe after Gov Palin mentioning, she read in the NYT yesterday, Obama ties to Domestic Terrorists, the News media outlets haven’t made it page one news and the Topic for discussion on today’s MTP.
With the election 3 weeks away. Shouldn’t the public be informed of the nefarious ties of a candidate for the US presidency? And as a candidate who is unable to produce a Birth Certificate stating he is a Natural Born Citizen as per the Constitution’s A2 requirement?
I have Gov Palin’s announcement here:
http://pumasunleashed.wordpress.com/
I think Tony Rezco will start singing, if he hasn’t started singing already. I bet the Republican party has gone to him and told him to spill the beans, also the whitey tape, real or fake, I really want to know what gives with that tape
as we had been saying, the Republicans would wait until the election got closer to nail Obama’s ass to the wall. Go Sarah…
Tell
The media will not cover any negative story on Obama–Letterman, Leno,SNL, Colbert, and Stewart have all let loose on McCain, Palin and Clinton but I have not seen one nasty, contemptuous piece on BO. The puppets make millions doing what their corporate bosses ell them to do–they’d drink poison before they’d let go of their messiah(jim jones and BO have a great deal in common). Something’s coming, they kept Palin secret and they’ve got another one–hang in there–can’t bring it out until after October 15th, as close to the end as possible so there’s no time for rebuttal. Have faith.
there is a pattern, isn’t there? the messiah must never be ridiculed. no wonder obots love olberman and the late night “comedy” shows.
Question (please answer if you know) : How did Obama get into Harvard if he did not graduate Columbia with honors? I read he didn’t graduate Columbia with honors and no release of transcript… then how did he get into Harvard?
We don’t know anything about Oblockhead BECAUSE he has released nothing. We still have no proof he is even a citizen (other than bot side-shows that prove only that they are idiots).
Well another question has be. Where did the funds come from? Who paid? If he didn’t graduate or receive high grades in Columbia, did he qualify for student assistence? So many questions?
“Obama, in his 1995 memoir, said he wanted to go to Harvard Law School to “learn power’s currency in all its intricacy,” with the goal of “making large-scale change” as a national politician.”
“Some blogs speculate Obama may be covering up associations with controversial figures who were at Columbia at the time, such as former Carter national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, who taught at Columbia until 1990. Brzezinski is known for his extreme liberal positions, particularly regarding the war on terror. For example, he favors dialogue with the Hamas terror organization.
Asked whether he knew Obama from Columbia, Brzezinski told the Journal he doesn’t remember meeting him.”
“Obama spent two years at Columbia University yet left virtually no fingerprints of his presence there. Could that be because Columbia was where Mr. Obama first met ‘mad bomber’ William Ayers?” asked Martin.
Ayers was at the time just resurfacing in New York after living underground following his Weathermen days. He has well-established connections to Columbia, which was the scene of the famed 1968 Columbia University strikes in which hundreds of students seized several university buildings. The strikes were led by the Columbia chapter of Ayers’ Students for a Democratic Society, from which the Weathermen later splintered. Multiple Weathermen leaders were Columbia students.”
Well GWB went to Harvard. Remember Obama Sr. went, and they do give some points for that. I’ve never seen transcripts. I don’t understand why the bots keep saying he’s so smart.
Pretty funny… I heard some ObamaMSM cheerleader talking about the upcoming town hall style debate. She said
“well, town halls aren’t Obama’s strongsuit.” Then she said and debates aren’t his best forum.
Hmm. okay, what does that leave?
What’s Barry’s strongsuit?
We know it isn’t passing legislation.
We know it isn’t writing legislation.
So what’s Barry so good at?
Is it really just reading off a teleprompter? He doesn’t do that well, either.
Poor MSM, so confused.
His strong suit is his MSM bias-plated empty suit.
The MSM = Obama’s fig leaf.
Fantastic Larry. This site is the best “high information” site for all things barky.
Ob was 9 in 1970, he was 20 in 1981 and he was 30 in 1991 when Ayers said “guilty as hell”
I read the following list last April on the WAPO’s “the trail” and although I knew decades ago that Ayers was and always will be a criminal and a lunatic, this drove home how sick he really was.
the list copied and pasted:
Ayers and Dohrn were FOUNDING MEMBERS of the Weathermen, a violent terrorist group who escaped prosection because of surveilance tactics, not because they were innocent of wrongdoing. They terrorized government agencies for years threatening to bomb them and succeeded in doing so.
10/7/69 Bombing of Haymarket Police Statue in Chicago, as “kickoff” for “Days of Rage” riots
10/8/69 “Days of Rage” riots in Chicago - 287 Weatherman were arrested and a large amount of property damage done
10/6/69 Bombing of Chicago Police cars. The WUO stated in their book “Prairie Fire” that they did the explosion
12/27/69 Weathermen hold “War Council” finalizing plans to submerge into an underground status from which they plan to commit strategic acts of sabotage against the government. Thereafter they are called the “Weather Underground Organization” WUO. Dohrn raised three fingers in a “fork salute” to CHARLES MANSON, whom she proposed as a revolutionary inspiration. She went on to joke about Manson’s victims. “Dig it,” said Dohrn at the time. “First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!”
1969 Ayers attempted to extort money from the Vietnam Moratorium Committee, demanding $20,000 to abstain from violence during a planned peace protest. After rejecting this demand, a member of the group asked Ayers what he really wanted. “To kill all rich people,” Ayers responded. When another peace activist pointed out that Ayers came from wealth, he answered with an angry slogan: “Bring the war home. Kill your parents.”

okay, I am wondering about the l981 Brinks robbery.
Murder has no statute of limitations. So, if some intrepid soul could link Dohrn and Ayers to this
robbery/murder we could be rid of these assholes.
Ayers disappeared from 1970 till 1980 and he was not implicated in the Brinks job when it went to trial.
This list is what the WU did. He was a founding member and was always the most prominent name of the org. He was infamous for his guilt, his violence, his radicalism and his absolute audacity and lack of remorse.
If anyone believes Obama and Ayers were close then that person must be really upset about MCain’s ongoing relationship with the criminal Gordon Liddy.
They don’t have to have been close. Suppose it came out that McCain met, had talks with, served on some boards with, maybe more - an abortion clinic bomber. Do you suppose he could get away with it now by saying “we weren’t close?” Besides, it’s the pattern of associations. Sometimes it seems like almost everyone Obama associated with in his shady, undocumented past was an America-hater.
MIKEG…d e s p e r a t e
own your shitty candidate.
you’ve been reading the non-sense at obamabot sites, shame on you, it is all astroturfed all over today as your answer to AYERS.
for those of us who are old enough to remember watergate, you are mixing apples and oranges.
Nobody died at the Watergate hotel.
You cannot dismiss Ayers. You support ob so you support his long time friends such as Ayers, Wright and Rezko and you are in bed with Axelrod.
So go take a shower, you are full of poop.

thanks for posting the list. I didn’t know about this item. Whew. I guess intellectuals in times of crisis go out and bomb the pentagon, courthouses and private residences. And little darling Michelle organized it? Are we in for a “that’s not the Bill Ayers I knew..”
What is gonna be done about all the voter fraud in Ohio, I am surprised Obama isn’t up 20 over there with all the dead people voting, and dogs and cats, and felons and people being bussed in from other states and pretending to be from Ohio. Basically what will end up happening is that Ohio will not count, and they will all have to vote again and PROVE they are residents of Ohio. What Obama is doing is CRIMINAL, and you all know why he is doing it, because he knows HE CANT WIN FAIR AND SQUARE that’s why. Winning an election is fine by me, STEALING an election will NOT be allowed to happen!
Sarracuda, you make a good point. Wouldn’t it be an interesting strategy if Obama is just trying to destroy the election in Ohio (knowing that he can’t win the state)? It sounds exactly like Michigan in the primaries, doesn’t it?
There’s a funky idea.
God I hate Obama.
You are making too much of this, there are bigger fish to fry. The votes can’t be counted until they are verified. It’s an exercise in futility. Obama is not going to carry Ohio. Tell everyone Shiloh in Ohio says so.
Are you sure? So whats the point in doing this, they have to verify every single person is a resident of Ohio and is of course NOT dead right? I heard massive voter fraud is going on in Indiana too, that ACORN was even caught trying to register dead people to vote
I don’t think he can carry it either Shiloh, because McCain was up before voting started.

On Fox: Claire McCaskill saying that if McCain is a strong leader, he’ll shut Palin up. Very sincere try, Claire, but the floodgates have opened. Sorry, no can do. Strap yourself in.
You know, I have a lot of swearwords at my fingertips, and I mean a lot. But I have none that will convey what a piece of _________ McCaskill is.
Putrescine, the world’s nastiest smelling chemical. It comes with its own warning–STENCH–in bold caps on each bottle. It puts ammonium sulfide to shame. Yeah, I had to open a bottle of it once. Oof.
This is the same B***h that came after Clinton…she looks like an Soetoro-Obama drag-Queen!
If Obama is such a strong leader why doesn’t he shut Claire up?
The unsung coincidence:
Obama went to work for the DCP in the fall of 1985 to aide with Chicago’s school reforms.
But another interesting character was working on behalf of the most powerful Chicago philanthropy group, a vietnam war dodger named John Ayers.
Who is John Ayers, well he is the older brother of terrorist Bill Ayers. So coincidence the Ayers Obama link has been one since the mid-1980’s?
The issue is too complex to sum up and put in a few succint sentences to convey the true implication of this association. There is no way to make a credible ad that gets the gist of this across clearly and strongly. You could have him standing on the flag with the date 200? whatever it was, and some kind of headline. Where’s the connection to Obama? That’s what you have to show, loudly and clearly. Right now, its too vague and sounds only like a smear.
Any photos of them together?
Larry,
Are you supporting the Republican candidate for president?
