Obama's Radical Friend

Filed Under:eBarack Obama, 2008 President

Folks, meet William Ayers. This is a picture of William Ayers stepping on the American flag in a deliberate display of disrespect to the flag and the nation for which it stands.


In the seventies, William Ayers was a terrorist who tried to bomb and kill people. He never served a day in prison, and now has a cushy job as a college professor.


Why is this important? Because when Obama was looking to start his political career, Ayers was a close friend, donated money hosted a meeting that launched Obama's start in Illinois politics. Needless to say, Obama thought nothing of Ayers radical past, or anti-American leanings that continued on into the future.

Millions of Americans are disgusted by Ayers and others of his ilk, and while they can't do anything about Ayers non prosecution or his cushy job, they can punish Obama for associating with him. In other words, William Ayers is an electability problem. He can be pointed to while it is said, "These are Obama's friends, this is who he associates with."


So far Obama, by his statements, indicates that he doesn't understand what the big deal is. Which is even worse, in a way, indicating a naievete about the broad mainstream of American opinion toward the radical elements of the counter culture. And we wonder why he can't get the support of the bitter clingers? More at Michelle Malkin, among others.
