RBO: “’60s radicals suddenly tumbling out of the woodwork”
By Uppity Woman on November 11, 2008 at 11:15 PM in Weather Underground, William Ayers
(We hope to write more about this conference at NoQuarter. Here is the link to the NYTimes story.)
Cross posted from RBO. Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn wouldn’t say a word to reporters about their relationship to Barack Obama during the campaign. Absolute silence ensued when they were approached. As predicted, suddenly, they have found their voice–and no doubt revived their plans. Blast From The Past Tom Hayden is suddenly rearing his head as well.
Only this time, their backs are a bit sore from age, so they have younger suckers to be molded into doing their bidding for them. And as you can see from this piece, they fully intend to utilize them.
And of course, Reverend Goddamn AmerkiKKA is making his visible comeback as well…..
It’s also not surprising that the NY Times would be stoking this fire. I always said that the only reason they endorsed Barack Obama was that Karl Marx wasn’t available.
Welcome back to the ’60s, compliments of Barack Obama and his domestic terrorist friends. I hope you have protection and I’m not talking birth control here. These are people who have made it clear in the past that they despise Democracy, capitalism and America–although they all certainly seem to have no problem capitalizing on capitalism…..

’60s radicals suddenly tumbling out of the woodwork

A running prediction has been that as soon as the presidential election was over Barack Obama’s ultra leftwing supporters would be front and center on panels, writing articles, speaking, etc.
Already we’ve had unrepentant Communist terrorist Billy Ayers’ whiney-assed missive published November 7, 2008, at leftie In These Times and reposted elsewhere. See RBO’s Time to shut up now, Bill.
Then we had Obama’s spiritual mentor and pastor of 20+ years, Rev. Jeremiah “God-Damn-AmeriKKKa” Wright, as keynote speaker for the FMO State of the Black Union at Chicago’s Northwestern University, with Billy Ayers in the audience. See RBO’s Wright speaks, Ayers listens.
Now we have the New York Times’ Manny Fernandez’s November 9, 2008, article 1960s Radicals Predict Rebirth of Social Activism, reporting on a meeting of “three former political radicals” at the Steven Kasher Gallery in Chelsea — Tom Hayden, founder of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and a member of the Chicago Seven, “tried on charges of conspiring to incite a riot at the Democratic National Convention in 1968″; Weather leader Bernardine Dohrn, unrepentant Communist terrorist and wife of Billy Ayers; and Jamal Joseph, who as a young Black Panther in Harlem “went to prison in the ’80s for harboring a fugitive” — to “discuss the 1960s and the impact of an Obama presidency on the American political left.”
The moderator was Joshua Micah Marshall, editor and publisher of the leftie political blog Talking Points Memo, which provided a platform for vicious Lobotobots.
The discussion on Saturday was organized to promote an exhibition of photographs by David Fenton, who chronicled street protests and the lives of counterculture figures in the late 1960s and early ’70s. The exhibition, which runs until Nov. 26 at the Steven Kasher Gallery, features more than 75 photographs of Columbia University protests, Central Park be-ins and Black Panther demonstrations. Mr. Fenton went on to become chief executive of Fenton Communications, which represents the liberal antiwar group MoveOn.org.
Mr. Fenton, who also sat on the panel, said he had not seen Ms. Dohrn since he photographed the Days of Rage protests in Chicago in 1969.
Fernandez provided the singular quote that even remotely justifies his article’s title:
Hayden said “young Obama supporters ‘will determine the role of social activism for the next 30 years’ and will be inspired by Mr. Obama to pursue community organizing work instead of Wall Street jobs. ‘A community organizer has been elected president of the United States…’”
Nothing like a trio of aging gray-haired terrorists to tell us what Obama’s young supporters might do. But then, when you think about it, they have been engaged for a few decades programming and indoctrinating those young’ns.

Saw this at RBO. Great stuff.
Like your name…Galt…
Thanks for the post, uppity. RBO continues to crank it out.
Bwahahaha! “young obama supporters will determine social activism” If they’re counting on these kids to get out and work selflessy, it’ll be a long time.
The Jedi Mind snatcher had everyone in check before the election! The real story has never been told about obama’s associations. Change, Change, Yes we can..What a crock. The man used every resource no matter how evil. The trance will wear off, the truth will reveal the real obama, it isn’t pretty either. When his followers don’t get their mortgages or gas paid it will be an eyeopener. Hello, he bought their votes. They voted on the economy, can’t be so because for 6 years bush warned this was coming with freddie and fannie, tried to get reform and guess who stopped all attempts? REID, FRANK, PELOSI, CLAY, SHUMAR (ALL DEMS) The years under bush have been safe and prosperous unitl when:
two years ago when pelosi and the dems couldn’t shut up about what a horrible economy, bush failed policy (all lies) They screwed up, they alone are guilty of killing the housing economy, wrecking wall street and leading us down the path to the biggest depression possibly since the roman empire. Why aren’t they in jail? Why is ayers teaching at a University, getting government funding? He admitted in 2001 being a terrorist against american can we get a trial for treason and have him hung? What’s the hold up I don’t understand? I count 15 radial associations for obama in 5 seconds..this is not a black thing it is a character thing, this man should not spend one day at the white house, he couldn’t get an fbi clearance or pass the one he is now giving to any of his volunteers. Wake up America take a good hard look and do something before its too late. If it walks like a duck, guacks like a duck guess what it is! We need some people to stand up for american and take charge: get this country back on track or else.
thanks for listening!
Wow. Just wow. I agree. Thanks.
Must Read for PUMAS: snippet from Camille Paglia
Given that Obama had served on a Chicago board with Ayers and approved funding of a leftist educational project sponsored by Ayers, one might think that the unrepentant Ayers-Dohrn couple might be of some interest to the national media. But no, reporters have been too busy playing mini-badminton with every random spitball about Sarah Palin, who has been subjected to an atrocious and at times delusional level of defamation merely because she has the temerity to hold pro-life views.
How dare Palin not embrace abortion as the ultimate civilized ideal of modern culture? How tacky that she speaks in a vivacious regional accent indistinguishable from that of Western Canada! How risible that she graduated from the State University of Idaho and not one of those plush, pampered commodes of received opinion whose graduates, in their rush to believe the worst about her, have demonstrated that, when it comes to sifting evidence, they don’t know their asses from their elbows.
Liberal Democrats are going to wake up from their sadomasochistic, anti-Palin orgy with a very big hangover. The evil genie released during this sorry episode will not so easily go back into its bottle. A shocking level of irrational emotionalism and at times infantile rage was exposed at the heart of current Democratic ideology — contradicting Democratic core principles of compassion, tolerance and independent thought. One would have to look back to the Eisenhower 1950s for parallels to this grotesque lock-step parade of bourgeois provincialism, shallow groupthink and blind prejudice.
I like Sarah Palin, and I’ve heartily enjoyed her arrival on the national stage. As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is — and quite frankly, I think the people who don’t see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma. So she doesn’t speak the King’s English — big whoop! There is a powerful clarity of consciousness in her eyes. She uses language with the jumps, breaks and rippling momentum of a be-bop saxophonist. I stand on what I said (as a staunch pro-choice advocate) in my last two columns — that Palin as a pro-life wife, mother and ambitious professional represents the next big shift in feminism. Pro-life women will save feminism by expanding it, particularly into the more traditional Third World.
http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2008/11/12/palin/index1.html
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing it. I love Palin.
Here’s a video of Team Sarah on O’Reilly supporting her…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzFvNbwarYY&eurl=http://www.teamsarah.org/
Camille Paglia was the first feminist intellectual that I know of to come out and support Palin. She did it without delay and in a big way.
Right after Governor Palin’s convention speech, the one that shocked the world, Paglia displayed enormous courage to say “Palin is the new face of feminism”. She went on and on about that speech and how Palin handled herself.
Paglia is a lesbian. Nothing wrong with that. Just shows that she really went against the grain to support Governor Palin to the extent that she did.
No on can forget that speech.
Palin IS the new face of “feminism.”
Damn right!!
I say this is the NEW feminism — which embraces all humans as equal.
The old feminism is left behind — the Gloria Steinem, Erica Jong and the rest of that hateful bunch can go to HELL!
Long live the NEW feminism!!
The old feminists have joined the ranks of the patriarchal penis worshipers — who claim that Palin lacks “experience” which we now understand to mean that these women don’t like her because Palin lacks a penis.
How dar Palin have a mind OF HER OWN, with the ability to speak her mind.
Frankly the east coast colleges are vastly over rated. On the west coast we have superior libraries and institutions of learning. Of course I am very a biased west coaster.
And my ancestors came from Idaho– as did Palin’s ancestors– we have surnames in common and some distant ancestors — perhaps some within 3 generations. So pick on Palin your jerks in the media and you old feminists — you’re picking on my family.
OK that’s my rant for now. I can’t boycott the media - because I already ignore the self important lying jerks.
Paglia has always been hard on Hillary Clinton though. She should also acknowledge that this misogyny was aimed at Hillary first.
Thank you — I left that out of my rant.
The younger feminist (and older ones as well) who refused to support and acknowledge Hillary Clinton also have my disgust.
As the recession turns into a depression more than likely it will be females who lose jobs and promotions. From what I’ve read there is higher unemployment (and re-employment) for women who lost jobs at this beginning of this bush recession (depression?).
The young women who swooned over O-vomit can get NO help from that male chauvinist pig. There is nothing more that these so very stupid women can “give” to O-vomit — and his promises are worthless.
Welcome to the real world you stupid female trolls — I won’t use any energy to pity your plight.
It’s not her stand on abortion that is a lightening rod for the hate but the fact that she is a woman. They did the same to Hillary Clinton. I wouldn’t be the least surprised to see an article in the future about one of the bloggers or journalists that participated in the lies and smears arrested for battery or worse on their wife.
I agree with you to a point.
Many feminists made it clear that “Palin is a disgrace to feminism”. Brigitte Bardot made headlines around the world with such a statement. There were hoards of female hollywood lefties attacking Governor Palin over this. Ever watch the view. I don’t but I have seen clips of their intolerance to other view points. The show should be rename “Their View”.
Women attacked Governor Palin over the abortion stance and were shocked that she did not abort Trig. I thought this much was obvious.
Trig is a profound symbol for both sides of the abortion divide.
Winston, Who’s to be the judge of me?
Who is to be the keeper of what “feminism is”?
In that divide, life hangs in the balance.
who, where was this outrage you speak of?
and that crappy show the view does have a right wing bush ass kisser on it who speaks her mind all the time.. I forget her name but she’s there and loudly stands up for anything republican related.
and luvvvv’s bush and his presidency!
the show is a joke anyway, it’s for dead heads who have iq’s smaller than their pinky fingernails-
Wow! As a feminist academic, I have always disagreed with Camille Paglia—she who once said that if women had been in charge humankind would never have achieved civilization and that we’d still be in grass skirts!
I finally agree with her!
Same here trixta. Sometimes I can’t stand her but she stated this one beautifully. Of course, it always helps when she agrees with me. LOL
The scary times will be during Obama’s first 6 months in office. The kool-ade poisoning will not have worn off and the O-bots will do master’s bidding, intimidating any legislator who dares impede The One’s Final Solution for America.
Have any one of them done an honest day’s work?
Ho hum. So this is the plan for bringing the Republican party out of the wilderness?
Will this have an effect when the kool aid drinkers find out that these
characterscreatures- Ayers, Dorhn, and Wright DO hold the radical ideals they were warned about. They DO exist in cohort together and they DO plan on executing their plans on the rest of America.It was only days before they emerged with greater power and vindication than ever.
What say the kool aid fanatics now?
The scary part is that these people are teaching our children. I wonder if Ayers has told his children to go home and kill their parents.
ROFLMAO…Good one.
You mean like this?
Or this?
Bad delusional people brainwashing our children is dangerous for our country and outright child abuse, I agree!
A fan of Bill’s for years (except this election season), I have to agree with him here
Sorry but I couldn’t resist at least sampling the other side of some of this-
Obama was wooing that crowd not NQ….so go slay our imaginary dragons there.
Remember Faith based initiatives are Obama/Bush II’s friend too….just like 43.
your
They’re they result of raising children according to Dr. Spock (gag!).
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2007/12/baby_boomer_gen.html
Funny…the so called “feminists” think that it’s no one’s BUSINESS what they do with their bodies and no one should touch Roe V. Wade - but on the other hand, they are appalled that a woman chose to have a baby. What does that say about those
bitcheswomen? Hmmmm…so rights only apply when you choose to kill a baby, not when you choose to keep it? Same hypocrisy as all of the AAs who came out with their 98% racist vote for the black man, but couldn’t see it in their hearts to vote for civil rights for gays under Prop 8. Wow. What a bunch of mean spirited people Americans have become. I guess Sarah would be our VP if she aborted the child she loves so much and CHOSE to keep. It conjures up images of these rabid psyhotic women hunting Palin down when she was pregnant with Trig, strapping her down in stirrups, and scraping her uterus against her will. Very ugly.please show me where any feminist was ever appalled at someone had a baby. please.
had = “having”
and your extremist comments about palin and ppl wanting her in stirrups to scrape her uterus.
you are a fucking psycho-
congrats Larry, the kind of people you’ve drawn to this site
The most dangerous place to be on earth is standing between a Baby Boomer and his fantasy of the 1960’s!
Jeeze—I see this with ALL of my friends…They are so smitten with Obama because he was their chance to re-live the good ol days, the ’60’s. And half of them were so straight-laced back then it was pathetic. But to hear them talk now, they were all free love flower children.
Boomer fantasy, white liberal guilt, and a raging dose of sexism is what got Obama elected.
God help us.
You are full of it Cindy.
Many of us “boomers” went college with Vietnam vets and it was many of these Vets were were opposed to that horrible war.
I firmly believe that it was the returning Vets opposition to that war that turned the tide of popular opinion. And these Vets were boomers. Brave men.
I’m a military brat — and my dad retired from the military when I was in college. So I lived in both worlds. My dad returned from his service over there against that war.
The real heros who helped end that horrible war are the Vietnam Vets — they told the truth while officers like Colon Bowel and Gen. WasteMoreLand — lied like politicians.
Google 1960 domestic terrorist groups and the Weathermen, Black Panthers, and Symbionese Liberation Army are the ones that pop up, and the name most frequently popping up is Bill Ayers and yet here he is, basically running “the show” for Barry Soertoro. It’s time to quit blaming the “flower children” of the 1960s who were more into parties than protest and start blaming the “war children” of the 1960s who were into bank robbery and bombs.
Since it seems we must vanquish these rogue groups once again (or learn to live with their ideology) we need some new intelligence on their members but first we have to find out why the morons in our government see nothing wrong with Ayers and his protege; yet obsess over Clinton’s cleavage and Palin’s wardrobe.
The country was most definitely split between pro-war and anti-war factions but all three of these groups (Weathermen, Black Panthers, SLA) embraced the ideology of change through war - their war, not the one going on in Viet Nam since the 1950s. (Yes, didn’t start with Kennedy but Eisenhower.)
But the Weathermen and Symbionese Liberation Army weren’t Viet Nam protesters, they were out to destroy “the system”. Most college age kids who pushed the 60s “movement” just wanted to change their draft status and the closest they came to violence was when they went South to register black voters or march with MLK.
Another group consisted of the George Bushes of the world who took advantage of the drug culture to party, duck the draft, and yet keep their silver spoon legacy. I do know that party boy Bush was bad for our democracy and Barry is going to be bad for democracy, too, because “Barack Obama” is Ayers’ Pinnoceo. Ayers’ goal was always to destroy “the establishment” and that, fellow citizens is us.

(A little synopsis of terrorists that includes our own home grown ones.)
Get over yourself, Northwest. I’m on your side but I think you’re too bitter to see it.
Who would have ever thought that this country would have elected someone with terrorist ties..don’t recognize our country anymore…..of course was he elected or selected and did he really win legally; of course not; it took Acorn’s help. Why or why is noone investigating and why did Carey and McCain not fight back over their stolen elections? Also, president select has already opened his mouth about meeting in oval office; real presidential…I have never heard of a president-elect meeting with the sitting president and then leaking what they talked about…..good God! Wonder when we will hear about how he leaked his secret briefings to his terrorist pals….McCain on Leno, going to go watch and see if he defends Sarah…probably not!!
Obama’s election is a major “fuck you” to the military and Veterans — there is NO other way to interpret it.
Our military deserves better than a National Security RISK as CiC. (Of course Bush and Cheney compromised US National security & the National security of other countries many times).
Well, with any luck the ‘revolutionaries’ will end up like Robespierre — hopefully before they carry out the revolutionary ‘Reign of Terror.’
Catholic bishops late ….

Thanks for this, sowsear.
they should have forcefully gotten off their asses and voted against obama, these fools don’ get a over. Bush was a warning obama’s the real thing. You see how much choas a highly funded, arrogent, ignorant, unexperienced fool can cause and what do you do elect the same thing over again.
Like my parents say, no matter where you go you meet the same people with different face. Well obama was bush with a different face these morons have done it again, and at time when our economy can not suffer such a view without sustaning some serious damage.

Oh, I think we will wish Bush was back in the oval office; when Barky, as they say, rules!!! At least, somehow, Bush has kept us safe since Sept 11, 2001; would not quite count on it with Barky in the oval office.
I miss Bush already. Sorry. I go to sleep every night no problemo now. When Barfy takes over it’s sitting up all night waiting for the nukes, clinging to my gun.
LOL. Thanks, that’s a good one:)
that is because bush is crazy and unpredicable would you mess with someone who bombs the crap out of people just because and not blink?
kgirl, just like Obama is a Fraud, have not worried about being bombed in America. What are you thinking, Obama is going to transfer the troops to Afghanastan; any difference, YES, we now have to be worried about our country, because we now will have a President who has surrounded himself with domestic terrorists and they cannot wait to ruin this country.
Socialism is right around the corner….get ready to put your Civilian Uniform on and march for Barky!!
Barky can kiss my ass and if he tries any of that crap on me good luck. He’s a pussy-punk who will never be MY President and, as someone else here said, he will have to pry my freedoms and liberties out of my cold dead hands. I’m not a lemming being lead to OVomitville. And I suspect that a whole lot of other people will resist the nonsense that he starts. OVomit can BITE ME.
I agree!!
The potential for a second civil war definitely exists. Half of the this country will not quietly stand by and allow the Obamacrats to force Socialism/Marxism/Communism on this country - if that is what they’re up to. There would definitely be a serious battle if this is the case.
If that man had walked up to me like he did Joe the Plumber, I would not have been so nice. I would have slapped his face and called him a sick pig before the secret service hauled me off, but I’d have been damn sure I’d left a mark! I hate that fucker. OMG! I hate that fucker.
My ex husband voted for McCain and he has the IQ of a misquito. His mother hate BHO, too! I am shocked. We were never politically on the same side me and her. Now we both hate OBarfy. She hates him so much she wants to see him dead, she says. I don’t want that because then he’ll be idol worshipped for all eternity and he sure as hell doesn’t deserve that. No, I would prefer his ass go to jail forever. I wish america wasn’t so stupid. Just because he’s black doesn;t mean you don;t hold him accountable. did he want equal rights and all anyway????
Loved the Rev Wright’s attempt to scrub up his image…I was taken out of context, etc. His ego is just crying to be new “spiritual adviser” to the Black House. Of course, he will be but only through the back door. Same with the rest. Wonder whether the Secret Service will tell the Obamas that their old friends, Billy and Bernadine, won’t be able to have dinner in the family quarters. I’ll bet Tom Hayden and ex-wife Jane could get in though.
Oprah will be there fast. She can’t wait to be made whole again. Would someone tell Oprah that she never was a slave? I’m sick of black millionaires wallowing in slavery. Boo hoo, America is so mean.
wow harsh post.. i must say!
as for the youth who are zombied up obambi’s butt, i think when the time comes to organize and “do” for the good of mankind, they’ll choose beer parties over good deeds 9 outta 10 times and fall back into their ambivalent and non active lives-
especially when they find out obambi is status quo- he ain’t giving them handouts, he can’t make everything all peachy and rosie by snapping his fingers, and he can’t uphold all the promises he made-
Apparently, many of the O-bots already got the message: threaten and knock heads. I’m waiting to see how long it takes the MSM to acknowledge that 60’s far-left tactics are being ramped up in response to the selection of Dear Leader. Will legs continue to tingle while people are being knee-capped? I guess it won’t matter as long as there’s a Panther with a club just out of camera range.
Now, more than ever, we need to remember the results that come from not taking a stand against tyranny. Martin Niemцller ended up in Dachau by ignoring each little event until it was too late. We have watched those first steps that gave us a mystery man whose closest friends have no respect for our country and our government; men who trample on our flag and what it stands for while our children are taught songs to glorify the man now known as “the one”.
We know Barry Soertoro has plans to create a private army under his control. We know that he approves of the suspension of our Right to privacy. We know that the travel restrictions imposed by the Bush administration will not be lifted. We know he plans to continue the secrecy surrounding his background by controlling the press. And we know what happens to those like Joe the Plumber who question the man known as Barack Obama so why would we ignore the probability that eventually, they will come for us?
Why else would he need a private army when we have the FBI, ATF, Secret Service, CIA, Federal Marshals, the National Guard, the Coast Guard, the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines who managed to keep both the Nazis and the Japanese away from our shores during World War II?
I believe that the ‘young supporters” will only attend the free concerts that Obama has for them—oh, wait a minute, he already won the election - there won’t be any more concerts. Now what are they going to do? I’m sure it won’t be community service work unless the COURT orders it.
Interesting post and blog. Relevantly, many prominent experts and publications have pointed out that Obama is part of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and GenXers.
This link takes you to a page you may find interesting: it has, among other things, excerpts from publications like Newsweek and the New York Times, and videos with over 25 top pundits, all talking specifically about Obama’s identity as a GenJoneser:

“Intellectuals” discussing art with people who intentionally blew up and murdered other Americans–and feel no remorse, are unapologetic, and even triumphalist about it.
Would Josh Marshall have moderated a forum with Arafat on it? What about David Duke?
The thing is, it’s one thing to consider yourself “intellectual” and oh-so-above all that parochial stuff like “morals” or “values” or “judgment.”
But, it’s another thing entirely to be a complete and utter HYPOCRITE.
Marshall would be horrified at the thought of sitting down to discuss–oh-so-civilly–art or anything else with someone who blew up Jews in Israel, or advocated anti-semitism.
Even Sinn Fein has apologized for its terrorist acts in Britain, and has become a force for peaceful political progress in Ireland, and abroad. Not so with Dohrn and Ayers and their minions like Marshall. They’re going to force us to participate in the new rehabilitation of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, even as they publicly advocate their particularly loathesome triumphalism.
When some angry little nutso gets a hard on to imitate Ayers and Dohrn and blows someone up in New York City, I guarantee Marshall will condemn it; and it will just be further proof that he is a complete and utter hypocrite.
no free speech here either
