It’s sometimes hard to remember that Jeremiah Wright is not the most reprehensible of Barack Obama’s associates. We’ve written <a href="http://www

The connection between Obama and Ayers actually goes back 20 years. Michelle Obama was an associate at the law firm of Sidley Austin in the late 1980’s. Given the fact that these large law firms typically hire associates based on their summer intern programs, it is likely that she was an intern at the firm before she graduated from law school.

Barak came on as a summer associate at Sidley Austin in 1988. Michelle Robinson was assigned as his “mentor” at the firm.

Also employed at Sidley Austin in 1988 - Bernadette Dohrn. One wonders whether Dohrn was Michelle’s “mentor”.

Dohrn went to work at Northwestern University after working at the law firm. Bill Ayers father was on the board there. Northwestern hired Michelle Obama’s brother as its assistant basketball coach. Michelle Obama was one of the original faculty members at the Asset-Based Community Development Institute at Northwestern University.

It was Michelle Obama who organized a few of the speaking panels on which Barak and Ayers appeared together.  I find myself more and more questioning whether Michelle Obama was a member of Trinity before Barak joined the Church.  She, being a lifelong resident of Southside Chicago, certainly carries the persona of someone who has been a lifelong member of that church.

And another tidbit of interest - while serving on the board of the Woods Fund, Barak and Ayers voted to give $75,000 to the Arab American Action Network. That organization was founded by one Rashid Khalidi. Rashid Khalidi has close ties to the PLO and considers those who attack Israel as freedom fighters, much like Jeremiah Wright. I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall a screed by Khalidi appearing in one of Trinity Church’s bulletins.  I could be wrong, since I tend to find it hard to distinguish one Palestinian terrorist from another.

There are also connections between Khalidi and Tony Rezko.  And when Iran’s Ahmadinejad made his infamous appearance at Columbia University, it was Khalidi who was instrumental in brokering that deal.

Quite the tangled web.

Great post, Jim.  Talk about “connecting the dots” !!

Thanks.

I hope that many others pick up that information and run with it.  Of course the GOP will have to keep their hands off, but maybe the Clinton War Room can make use of it.

Read the blurb at the top of the picture.  See what has become of this radical leftist.  He tells his son that he burned his draft card, not his credit card.  “Man, I’m not that stupid.” So which of these statements are you likely to hear from Bill more often: 1. “Down with capitalism” or 2. “Do youtake American Express?”

Thanks, Rocketman. 

I found all that info this morning on a Google search lasting about half an hour.  I would imagine that there are a few more “dots” out there to be found and connected.

I have done more than a few investigations in my time (27 years), mostly fraud, bank crimes, bribery and kickbacks.  In addition to following the money, it is always critical to map the associations of the various players.  Once you get the basic outline, you can flesh the rest of the picture out with various financial, telephone, e-mail and other records. 

From the basic information here, it looks more like Mrs. Robinson (shades of Simon and Garfunkel) was the radical connection in BO’s Chicago associations.  Of course, BO had his share of questionable contacts prior to meeting the missus.  His communist mentor in Hawaii certainly falls into that category.

You can tell a lot about a person by the people they hang out with. Obama has quite a few friends like this. As does his whining bitch of a wife.

Great info Jim!

I’ve posted elsewhere on this blog about is the double-think, then smile I would get when I walked past a shop selling “revolutionary” posters, T-shirts, bumper stickers, etc. that had a “BankAmericard accepted here” decal on the door.

Ah yes.  In such matters, we often tend to engage in excessive armchair psychoanalysis and sociological syntax twisting.  Occam’s razor applies here--the simplest explanation is most likely correct.

Senator Obama associated with these people for so many years for the same reason that “average white people” associate with others:  They find their company comfortable because they share common interests, goals and beliefs.  Few people choose to spend their personal time with people whose beliefs, views and personalities they find loathsome.  In fact, most people would not choose to spend any time with admitted criminals under any circumstance, particularly criminals who attempted to commit mass murder at any time of their lives and who continue to brag about their crimes, or people who are serial racists and crackpots.  Thus are “average white people,” and average people of any color, distinguished from their liberal elite betters and left to wallow in their gun-driven bitterness and reliance on religion.  What unenlightened lives such average people must lead when they choose--voluntarily--to separate themselves from bombers, racists and crackpots.  How much more exciting could the bland lives of such pathetic denizens of fly over country be if they could only experience such stimulating company!

That Senator Obama did not immediately repudiate these criminals and poltroons is hardly surprising.  They are his kind of people.  He sees himself reflected in them.  He shares their backgrounds and beliefs.  He admires them and supports them, and probably is, on at least some levels, genuinely surprised that anyone would take exception to his relationships with them.  How could anyone object to those whose beliefs, behavior and politics are so reasonable, so pure, so righteous?

On the other hand, there is an element in his relationships--all of them--that simply does not exist for average folk:  Political calculation.  A man like Obama considers his political well being before anything else.  As he worked his way up as a “community organizer” (just what is the job description for that by the way, what does it pay, and who issues the paychecks?) he surely engaged these people because of their political utility and only abandoned one of them because he became a political liability, an unbelievably destructive political liability that could not possibly be ignored any longer.  Notice that none of his friends appear to be conservatives, and certainly none who are demonstrably unhinged or criminal.  This could be mere coincidence, but if it walks like a community organizer, talks like a community organizer and quacks like a community organizer…

One wonders if this photograph (some photos really are worth a thousand words, aren’t they?) will cause the good senator to finally, at long last, repudiate a man to tried to commit mass murder, failed due to incompetence, escaped justice on technicalities and continues to brag about his involvement.  We’ve become so numbed by Clintonian behavior and spin that some don’t even consider this sort of thing to be objectionable ("Well, OK, he did murder the troop of girl scouts, but he didn’t eat them").  But consider this:  How many average folk, if presented with a complete and unvarnished resume of Ayers, replete with flag stomping photos, would willingly choose to befriend him?  How many would say to themself:  “Self, that’s my kind of guy.  I wonder if he’d date my daughter?” How many would not immediately ask in astonishment why no one ever practiced enlightened penology on Ayers by locking him up and throwing away the key?

Ah, but Obama won’t let the average be satisfied with their average lives.  He’ll demand so much more from us, and do so much more to us.

While it seems somewhat unlikely that Obama shares with Ayers and Dohrn a philosophy justifying terrorism and murder, it is worthwhile putting a few questions to him.  Does Obama think that Ayers and Dohrn believe that the murder of the Italian premier Aldo Moro was justified.  Does Obama think that Ayers and Dohrn would be in favor of mass violent action in Denver?  Does Obama think that Ayers and Dohrn would be support the revolutionary praxis of Pablo Escobar?  Does Obama think that Ayers and Dohrn support FARC in Columbia?  The point in these questions is simply to assess how deeply Obama has reflected upon use of terror as a political action and how willing he is to regard as personae non grata person involved in terror.

Bill Ayers makes no secret of his unrepentant commitment to marxism.

Go to his website.  It is headed by a Red Star, symbol of Stalin’s USSR, Mao’s China, and Castro’s Cuba, rising over the rim of the globe.

How good a candidate can Obama be when he makes Hillary look good by comparison? 

Heck, even Bill Clinton is looking better when compared to Obama or his whining wife.

Mike99 gets my “nail on the head” award for the following:

Senator Obama associated with these people for so many years for the same reason that “average white people” associate with others:  They find their company comfortable because they share common interests, goals and beliefs.  Few people choose to spend their personal time with people whose beliefs, views and personalities they find loathsome.  In fact, most people would not choose to spend any time with admitted criminals under any circumstance, particularly criminals who attempted to commit mass murder at any time of their lives and who continue to brag about their crimes, or people who are serial racists and crackpots.

You can’t hang around with people like this, sometimes for decades, and not know what they believe, particularly when they orate it to you on a weekly basis (Wright), or brag about it incessantly (Ayers).

Hey, Barry Obama can’t claim he was only 8 years old when Ayers stomped on the flag.

But this does explain why Obama doesn’t like to wear a flag pin.  He’s afraid Ayers will kick the sh&& out of him.
