Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadette Dohrn were on NBC 5 tonite talking about being in Grant Park for barry's Election Night celebration 40 years after the Democratic Convention madness there. Hence the reason why barry wanted it there even though it cost millions of dollars more than an indoor arena. All he has been doing is recreations - presidential and otherwise. Anyway, they said they got "last minute tickets from a friend". What they didn't mention - on the clips I saw - was the fact that he was stopped from entering Canada on the 19th - the day before barry's inauguration.
AYERS: I couldn't stop crying a couple of times. I found the exact spot where I was beaten 40 years ago. But I've never been in a crowd that large that wasn't edged with either anger or drunkenness or gluttony, and it was really an extraordinary feeling.
And then they take credit for barry's presidency because of their own acts of domestic terrorism. Reverend Martin Luther King had more to do with barry's presidency than two rich kid cowards and he did not advocate violence.
DOHRN: Without the struggles of the 60s ... there would be no President Obama.
These folks are latte-sipping (Ayers admits to being addicted to Starbucks) aging hippy capitalists trying to make noble their cowardly acts of violence as a means of staying relevant. What they did was wrong and resulted in the murder of three people - not including ayers' own girlfriend who blew herself making explosive devices to indiscriminately kill officers at Fort Dix. It can never be glamorized. And it can never be forgiven - unless they first ask admit to their wrongdoing. They haven't and it appears they never will.
A taste of their regret of not doing more.
[Weatherman would shove the war down] their dumb, fascist throats and show them, while we were at it, how much better we were than them, both tactically and strategically, as a people. In an all-out civil war over Vietnam and other fascist U.S. imperialism, we were going to bring the war home. 'Turn the imperialists' war into a civil war', in Lenin's words. And we were going to kick ass.
The violence did not just result in property damage or bodily harm to the intentionally violent protesters.
Richard Elrod, a city attorney, was paralyzed after he attempted to tackle Weatherman member Brian Flanagan....He regained some control over his limbs through therapy and surgery but still requires crutches or a scooter to move around. In 2006 he told Chicago Magazine that Ayers and Dohrn had apologized to him in 2001, while making it clear "that they did not believe Flanagan caused Elrod's injuries, and that they were not disavowing their militant beliefs.
Mr irrelevant non-repentant:
Bill Ayers: The Days of Rage was an attempt to break from the norms of kind of acceptable theater of 'here are the anti-war people: containable, marginal, predictable, and here's the little path they're going to march down, and here's where they can make their little statement.' We wanted to say, "No, what we're going to do is whatever we had to do to stop the violence in Vietnam.
...To help start the "all-out civil war", Bill Ayers and others bombed a statue commemorating the policemen killed in the 1886 Haymarket Riot on the evening of October 6. The blast broke nearly 100 windows and scattered pieces of the statue onto the Kennedy Expressway below.
Blowing up a statue commemorating policemen killed in the line of duty sound familiar?
barry also disrespected fallen policemen in Seattle when he put his port-a-potties - despite plenty of available space - in front of the memorial for fallen officers. Worse - this was their response when the police officers asked for an apology:
Sorensen said Obama's local offices have closed until a nominee is named so it would be tough for local organizers to make a formal apology to police.
I would bet $1k you have never heard about this.
Anyone?
