Bring the War Home: The Ayers Tapes

By Fleaflicker on April 18, 2008 at 10:05 AM in Barack Obama, Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Chicago, Current Affairs, Terrorism, Weather Underground

This begins a series of examinations into the kind of person Barack Obama considers to be a friend. Someone that helped to launch Barack Obama’s political career. And someone whose past Barack Obama doesn’t think is important anymore. Watch these videos and draw your own conclusions.

Part 1

Part 2

“Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at.”
Bill Ayers

“Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!”
Bernardine Dohrn

These two individuals helped Barack Obama launch his political career. This trash is what passes for respectable in Chicago style politics.

More to come. Stay tuned……

    The Irony is that these jokers couldn’t organize a piss-up in a brewery–Let alone a war in the 1960s.

    They appear to have completely failed to understand just how tough guys like Stalin, Guevara and Trotsky actually were.

    Rudd in 1969. He looked like a polite version of Charlie Manson with his racial war rhetoric.

    What if you did a survey who’d they’d all be voting for now? I’d guess that half of them voted for Bush and are now swinging back to Obama.

    Ah, Bernardine’s State of War. Lovely lady.

    • Salo

      More of a clown really.

      The sheer logistical needs of conducting a war appear to have escaped he pea brain.

      boutique revolution and daffy slogans.

        Why is sex always at the core of these revolutions? Sort of like those polygamists who claim they are told by God to marry the lithe, sixteen year old next door. Shockingly, He never tells them to marry the hairy, sixty year old widow up the street. I guess this is what happens when we put men in charge of our cults: first on the agenda is always going to be an orgy.

        And look at Ayers, et al now: bloated, upper middle class college professors reminiscing about the good ol’ days. They could appear in the dictionary under “The Man.” It would be laughable if they weren’t still so convinced that they were not the very thing they despised all those years ago.

          generally you get a revolution, rather than childish games, when the food runs out. Hyperinflation is another way that a revolution happens.

          • simon, too

            I might add politicansnad businessmen trying to steal a democracy also brings about a revolution, by the people.

            Uniquely American.

            • Salo

              but only after the resulting food shortages and hyperinflation.

    I posted this on Larry’s blog earlier. There is a lot of Muslim influence in Obama’s life — I don’t think it is bad. But what I want to know is how his presidency will be affected by that — I want to know where he stands with respect to Israel-Palestine, Hamas and Hezbullah, Iran and so on… Is there some hidden agenda here, because most of the people (Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Auchi..) he has associated himself with and gets support from, seem to be crooks or militants (some even anti-American)?

    From savagepolitics: this is interesting..

    As a curious side-note, if you go to William Ayers’ main website (CLICK HERE), you will notice a very prominent name in the middle of the page: ABU-ZAYD. For those of you who are not familiar with Islamic culture, the name means “FATHER OF ZAYD” and it is Ayers OTHER name. As you may have noticed above, Ayers has two children which he raised as Muslims (Malik and Zayd), a fact that he openly exalts by applying to himself an honorary Muslim name.

    Nonetheless, as Obama stated in ABC’s debate, if we simply suspend our reason and knowledge of how politics ACTUALLY works, then we must assume that being associated to Rev. Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers is not sufficiently substantive to ascribe to him the same and exact philosophical views of the world that they have. But, even if this was absolutely true (for the sake of argument), these unwholesome friendships and partnerships, at the very least, open the possibility of interpreting Obama’s own political policies through the same lens that his friends and their views have established for him (thus their friendship and support of Obama).

    As the Castillian saying goes; “tell me with whom you are with, and I will tell you who you are”.

      It seems obvious to me that Obama has some “anti establishment” leanings, where will this lead us, I don’t know. I think him gravely naive if he can “change” DC with this ideology. Is he going to go negative? Use inspiration to change?

    Organizational Piracy!

    Sounds prophetic about current events.

  • Kathy

    I guess in this same spirit, it’s okay to kill doctors who perform abortions if you feel that they are wrong. Or rob banks, or terrorize people.

    I mean, Vietnam was really bad. It even ruined that guy’s acid trip. “Organizational piracy” sounds about like what’s happening to the democratic party right now. The elitist Obamites vs the working class. What a spin. At least they’re not using sex at the core of their “revolution.” (Probably not by choice; let’s be honest, most of the guys pimpling the “progressive” blogs these days wouldn’t be so furious but for the fact that no woman in her right mind would screw them)

      All I can say is AYERS IS A CRAZY CRACKER MOFO ON BAD ACID…

    • Salo

      I suspect Denver will look somthing like Days of Rage.

      I mean, Vietnam was really bad. It even ruined that guy’s acid trip.

      Yeah, a real bummer. Maybe we should lobby the United Nations to make that a crime against humanity.

      Buzz Kill = Capital Offense

      i think you’ve nailed it. they can’t get nailed, so they pretend they have something else to do.

  • cdo

    You say you want a revolution
    Well you know
    We’d all want to change the world
    You tell me that it’s evolution
    Well you know
    We’d all want to change the world
    But when you talk about destruction
    Don’t you know that you can count me out
    Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright

    Peace baby

  • Percy

    Seem like a thread of the mentality happening today.

    Fuck Richard Nixon.

    I smile every time I think of him because I know he is dead and I am alive. It’s all good.

    You know it’s been awhile since we’ve heard anything from some of the 60s radicals. Weathermen were the worst bunch, and the most dangerous, because they were the violent homegrown “jihadists” of the anti-war movement of the time. Don’t get me wrong here, I came of age during this period and ran across anti-war activists who were acquainted with Weathermen and others.

    Some I am told (like Ayers), were violent thrill-seekers behind the scenes who directed the violent activities of others, yet didn’t participate in the actual violence because they were thinking of their lives beyond the 60s.

    And while I don’t condone murdering people in the name of justice (which is what our government has done and continues to do in wars and conflicts all over the world), I find Ayers’ ilk to be the most reprehensible because they have neither the courage nor the stomach for their convictions. They are A- Class bullies – so dangerous because they will urge others to undertake their violent ideas and impulses and find countless sociopathic ways to justify and/or excuse their behaviors.

    Those weathermen were really cool! I didn’t realize how successful they were until I watched the documentary on them last night. They blew up alot of pig offices, which is what we should be doing now….

    The fact that you spew this tripe and are even stupid enough to believe it shows what is wrong with this country. I hope your children grow up to hate you.
