Obama's friend, America's enemy

Obama’s Friend, America’s Enemy:

Have you ever been a friend or business associate of a terrorist? Not
someone who, to your shock and horror, turned out secretly to have
bombed government buildings. No, the question is whether you’ve ever
befriended an unreconstructed radical whose past was well known to you
when you entered his orbit and walked through doors he opened for you.
Have you been chummy with an unapologetic terrorist who, years after
you’d known and worked closely with him, was still telling the New
York Times he regretted only failing to carry out more attacks — and
that America still “makes me want to puke”?

Barack Obama has.

An organization called the American Issues Project, backed by Dallas
investor Harold Simmons, is running a campaign ad which highlights
Obama’s troubling relationship with William Ayers. Ayers is a former
member of the Weathermen terrorist organization that bombed the
Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol, various police headquarters, and other
targets in the early 1970s.

The Obama campaign’s rejoinder is three-pronged: The first shot was an
Obama response ad, which fails to offer any substantive explanation of
why Obama maintains ties to Ayers. Obama’s second move was to launch a
heavy-handed effort to pressure television stations into rejecting the
ad by promising financial retaliation against the stations and their
advertisers — which effort has apparently succeeded in intimidating
Fox and CNN. The capper is a desperate call for the Justice Department
to muzzle political speech through the prospect of a criminal
investigation — a demand that provides a disturbing sneak peak into
what life would be like under an Obama Justice Department.

Needless to say, none of this is justified. If Obama has a good
explanation for his ties to Ayers, he ought to give it. In the
meantime, raising questions about that relationship is entirely
legitimate.

Obama’s campaign has acknowledged that the candidate and Ayers are
friends. Though Obama has more recently minimized Ayers as “just a guy
who lives in my neighborhood,” it is clear that the relationship was
much deeper than that. Ayers and his fellow-terrorist wife, Bernadine
Dohrn (who has spoken admiringly of the infamous Manson Family
murders), are icons in Chicago’s hard-left circles, to which Obama
sought entrée as a young “community organizer.” In 1995, they hosted
a
fundraiser that helped launch his career in Chicago politics.

Ayers has never abandoned his indictment of America as an imperialist
hotbed of racism and economic exploitation. He has merely shifted
methods from violent extortion to academic indoctrination. Through his
perch as a professor of education at the University of Illinois, he
has been a ceaseless critic of the criminal-justice system (he is
essentially opposed to imprisoning even the most violent criminals)
and a proponent of what he calls “education reform” but what is
actually the use of the classroom to proselytize for the Left’s
political agenda.

Writing in the Chicago Tribune in 1997, Obama called A Kind and Just
Parent, Ayers’ polemic on the Chicago court system, “a searing and
timely account.” Michelle Obama, then a dean at the University of
Illinois, invited Ayers to participate in a panel with her husband,
then a state senator who, the program explained, was “working to block
proposed legislation that would throw more juvenile offenders into the
adult system.”
