RBO: Team Cuba” — Ayers, Dohrn, just “two political activists” from Obama’s neighborhood, visited Cuba in September 2008

Sung to the tune of “The Way We Were”.
************************************
If the MSM had any difficulty, or even cared about, finding unrepentant domestic terrorist and Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers, or his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, during a week this past September, it was perhaps because they didn’t know where to look — or, most likely, weren’t looking.
The radical couple had made a little offshore visit to that four-letter island off Florida’s coast in the company of this lady, Chicago composer, flutist, and performance artist — and longtime Kenwood resident, a.k.a. Obama neighbor, and supporter — Janice Misurell-Mitchell, Co-Artistic Director of CUBE Contemporary Chamber Ensemble in Chicago since 1989, and wife of University of Chicago English and Art History professor W.J.T. Mitchell, also an Obama supporter.
How do we know? Well, thanks to sharp-eyed RBO reader jr, we have the Winter 2008 CUBE Ensemble newsletter that says so.
So, how did the Ayers-Dohrn “political activists” manage to travel to Cuba? Looks like they may have qualified as “full-time professionals“:
Full-time professionals whose travel transactions are directly related to professional research in their professional areas, provided that their research:
(1) is of a noncommercial academic nature, (2) comprises a full work schedule in Cuba, and (3) has a substantial likelihood of public dissemination.
Full-time professionals whose travel transactions are directly related to attendance at professional meetings or conferences in Cuba organized by an international professional organization, institution, or association that regularly sponsors such meetings or conferences in other countries. The organization, institution, or association sponsoring the meeting or conference may not be headquartered in the United States unless it is specifically licensed to sponsor the meeting. The purpose of the meeting or conference cannot be the promotion of tourism in Cuba or other commercial activities involving Cuba, or to foster production of any biotechnological products.

This must have been a highly nostalgic walk down the international revolutionary “memory lane” for Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
The following, which comes from an August 1976 redacted FBI report, provides a clear background. When, in July 1969, Vietnamese representatives met with “leading Weatherpeople” (including Dohrn) in Havana, Cuba,
… the influence of Vietnamese representatives on the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) leadership became sharply pronounced. At the same time, the example of the Cuban revolution became the guide for the emerging American student revolutionary. With an increasing number of trips to Havana where the youthful revolutionary could learn at first hand how to create revolution, the influence of Cuba on the developing WUO was enormous.
The WUO obtained their revolutionary methodology from the Cubans and Vietnamese and, importantly, put into practice what they had learned from them. [...]
So, when Huynh Van Ba, representative of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), instructed WUO to “look for the person who fights hardest against cops…Don’t look for the one who says the best thing. Look for the one who fights,” the campus base was forgotten and the WUO began to recruit the greasers and assorted oddments who had displayed their hatred of authority in direct combat with police.”

All New Obama – Ayers connection audio
New audio of Bill Ayers calling in to Obama appearance on radio show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXbKpPKYu-Q
but he’s just a guy from the neighborhood….
If you had even the smallest PROOF that the people speaking on the youtube video ARE Bill ayers, which you do not and the voices do NOT sound alike at all, what difference does it make? so someone named bill calls in to Obama on talk radio? what the heck does that prove? NOTHING!
these attacks are so blatantly thin – there is no truth or substance to any of this and even if there was, so what?
Slightly OT, but I could use some help on this for some of my wavering associates.
Ref: the Obama Tax Plan, can someone clarify something for me. I read (I think it was the WSJ, but can’t find it) somewhere that that $250,000 (until apparently lowered today by Joe Biden, but I wouldn’t quote Biden on anything) was really a bit deceptive for a couple of reasons:
(1) Because of the basis for the calculation. Seems like it equates to an AGI of $160K plus a little. Which captures a much higher percentage of people than 5% (for the 95% tax reduction number Obama quotes). Or, I’m off here but it had something to do with the number 250 actually being lower in practice. Does anybody have information on this?
and
(2) Because it ignores the effects of Obama’s other proposals (this being only one aspect of his overall tax plan), such as rolling back previous tax cuts (that’s an INCREASE in current taxes, any way you cut it), eliminating the estate tax deductions (or eliminating thresholds, same effect), raising capital gains taxes by almost 100%, and raising the FICA cut-off, fooling with the Self-Employment Tax and other things.
There may be more but I’d like someone who gets all this to explain it (or refute it, whichever is correct) in terms that I can use with my grandma. Or my 10 year old.
In other words, the common (under-informed) voter.
Check out yesterday’s savagepolitics.com JC the
editor explains it clearly
OK Larry et al, get a load of this one.
WARREN: “Many of the polls show that your ticket may be headed to victory in November and that the Democrats may pick up a larger number of seats in the House and perhaps win 10 seats for a filibuster proof Senate. Republicans are beginning to make the argument that that means Democratic dominance in Washington, unchecked power. Is that a good thing?”
BIDEN: “First of all, we’re no where near there. We have 8 days to go. This is the most important election in the public’s life. They are looking at these races very closely. I think this is going to be much closer than everyone thinks it is. Second, with regard to the Democratic Party, this is a new Democratic Party not the party of the 70s and 80s. This is a party that has adjusted to the realities of a new world order.”
New World Order! Joe Biden, the gift that keeps on giving, has done it again. STAND UP FOR CHUCK!
Let’s see, in the Old World Order, the USA was the most powerful nation on Earth and the leader of the free world. What is our position in the reality of a “new world order”?
how dare you mock Dear Leader!
off to the camps for you!

Well, I’ve been having recurring nightmares based on this theme . . . You must be psychic! Over the gate of the camp there is a banner showing a red-white-blue rainbow, and the big O-Sun, or is it O-Son, rising over a New World Order . . . It’s breathtaking!
You forgot “Arbeit Macht Frei.”
last.
If Americans elect this democratic diarrhea, you know the shit that’s running, we deserve to be last.
This voter is voting McCain-Palin!
God bless America!
Yeah Joe old Democrats like me have figured out this is the New Democratic Party – more accurately the New Democratic Socialist Party.
Piss off Joe.
It was a Cabinet Meeting, for crisakes.
How Obvious…Joe Markmywords Biden is already gearing up for it, freaking blabbler mouth.
GOOD NEWS – mainstream journalist admits MSNBC is going down!

Sorry – OT, but the above is a great article written by a former Dem speechwriter who is now supporting McCain. She knows what we all feel and explains it so eloquently.
Thanks….that’s a powerful statement. I feel like she does, but what’s powerful is that she’s been close to all of this and feels that way.
The comments from Obamabots underneath that article are hysterical. They react in much the same way cult members react when one of them gets deprogrammed. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a plot to kidnap her being hatched at this very minute.
gee, this will go over real well in Florida…

Viva la Revolution!!!!!
I hear a Cuba Libre (a/k/a rum and coke with a lime) is pretty good. You just sit around and drink those all day while the state does your laundry and runs your errands before coming home to cook a sumptuous meal, supplied by the state kitchens, from fresh ingredients grown on the state farms, where nobody is working because all citizens are sitting around enjoying a nice Cuba Libre on the veranda.
Wait. That can’t work.
Ah, hell. Comrade Obama’s gonna have to explain me that one again, I got it all mixed up.
Anyway, sounds much groovy. Sign me up!!!
MSNBC Sux.
Mika is so preetty, that said, …
Punch number two is coming. Get Ready!
The first punch they predicted was exposing Obama’s true socialist nature, through his connection to William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Frank Marshall, Raila Odinga, Samantha Power, and other assorted kooks, radicals, and loons. Thanks to Obama’s mask slipping on the visit with Joe the Plumber, this punch has been a big CHECK. The only thing that has not come out in terms of this are the audiotapes we’ve been told repeatedly exist of Obama campaigning with Cousin Odinga in Kenya back in 2006, where Obama agrees with Odinga’s anti-American sentiments and says the American national anthem is a racist, violent war song and must be replaced with something passive, peaceful and wholly secular. Obama’s dealings in Kenya have not come to light at all — which is a sham, we feel, because 7 days before the election is not enough time to bring any of this out. It’s not enough time to sink in.
The second punch we were told was coming involves Obama’s presence at a 2003 dinner where Palestinian Rhashid Khalidi was honored, amongst frequent calls for the immediate destruction of the state of Israel. Obama and Michelle attended this hatefest, smiling throughout, with reports of Bernadine Dohrn and William Ayers in attendance (and possibly sharing a table with the Obamas).
Read the whole thing.
Oops – sorry, doc – I posted about the same thing below you – didn’t notice you had already posted because I had to do it twice – couldn’t get the link to post the first time…
Per Hillbuzz, it looks like Punch Number 2 may be coming tomorrow or Thursday.
The 0bamas at the Khalidi dinner where the call went out for the destruction of Israel – and they’re hinting that maybe Ayers and Dohrn are sitting WITH barky and Meeechelle at their very table, putting the lie to a whole buncha stuff said by barfy.
hillbuzz dot wordpress dot com – can’t get the link to post – sorry.
Could the tape be in the hands of the republicans?
And check out the photo of Meeeechelle – lovely!
tick tock tick tock. release. I will be patient
A Brooklyn lawmaker, Democrat Dov Hikind, has called for the release of the dinner tape:
http://wcbstv.com/campaign08/barack.obama.palestinian.2.850872.html
I want to know why there is only one tape. This doesn’t make sense to me.
Hillbuzz hints that the republicans have it too:
And at the end they add:
heh heh. i’m an atheist, but i’ll be praying to god for that scenario to come true.
Heads Up!!
Recent Thread! tonight a poster threw a great “article” in the comments ~~ A reporter delivers her report via a video about our future… it’s a newscast come January 2009…
It is GREAT! if you’re not up for CHANGE.
I copied it and then promptly lost it…Help!
Reward!
Ah, Cuba. The destination for a million and one starry eyed socialists each year who think it so cool that its residents are trapped in a fifties time warp.
And what trip to Cuba would be complete without a visit to one of their Potemkin hospitals in Havana – the ones only open to foreign tourists and high ranking members of Castro’s regime, the ones which inspire socialists to tell the world how superior Cuba’s health care is (while ordinary Cubans languish in rat and roach infested hospitals outside of the capital in which needles are regularly reused and equipment rarely sterilized).
A group of socialist pilgrims led by Ron Rodosh visited one such Potemkin hospital in Cuba in the 60’s. I expect they were much like Ayer’s group today. In fact I’m pretty confident that Rodosh and Ayers were associates – they certainly ran in the same radical circles in the 60’s and 70’s. A quote about the visit, from Mona Charen’s “Useful Idiots”:

I must point out at this point that unlike Ayers, Ron Radosh saw the error of his radical ways and like David Horowitz, has since reformed and become an outspoken critic of left wing radicalism.
Thank you Uppity and The Real Barack Obama – B. Merry is outstanding!
Visiting Cuba? Does this mean the FBI will be at their residence for a chat?
Travel to Cuba must be approved by the Dept of the Treasury. Wonder how a terrorist got a visa for travel to Cuba?
“Visiting Cuba?”
Only if you can live on 80 bucks a night for the room and 78 bucks a day for food & drink. That is, if Big Brother at the Office of Foreign Assets Control views your trip as an approved activity and issues you a license to travel.
“Does this mean the FBI will be at their residence for a chat?”
No, but they may find a pizza truck parked across the street for a couple of weeks.
You know all of this makes one wonder how many video tapes, radio interviews, print new stories, and photographs are really out there with BO and friends. If he spent 600 million trying to keep them all suppressed there must be a helluva lot.
Does anyone have a way of checking to see if anyof these alias come up on the radar as being in Hawaii during Obama’s teenage years?
I thank the authors because I have wondered where the hell these futigives from justices, Ayers and Dorn spent there time on the lamb. Especially as it relates to Franky.
Test_Why are my posts not getting posted?
ATTENTION!
Jack Cashill is saying that William Ayers ghost wrote Obama’s first book “Dreams of My Father” and not holds a trump card (blackmail) over Obama. Check the article on World Net Daily. It comes out today Oct. 29th! Very important for someone that has not decided for whom to vote.
This is the site with all the archives of Cashill’s articles. They are very impressive.

Kudos again, Uppity-wow.
To save journalism, NoQuarter should take over the failed LA Times–this has been one of the few places to actually get the news.
Thank you, Larry, for enduring the attacks of those who wanted to shut you down for several months and never backing down from telling the truth.
God Bless you and the intrepid, intelligent writers on NoQuarter.
Is Ayers going to be Obama’s Secty of Education??
Ayers is working converting the Venezuelan schools to a Marxist theme as we type.
