KEEPING THE STORY ALIVE: A COLLECTION OF POSTS ON BILL AYERS AND THE "WEATHER UNDERGROUND"

Greetings to all Marathon Pundit readers. I'm THIRDWAVEDAVE and I'll be filling in today while John is on the road for his Mississippi Manifest Destiny series.

Last night on the O'Reilly Factor, Bill started an ongoing Factor Investigation into the relationship between Obama, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and the Weather Underground. O'Reilly's goal is to educate the viewers on the true nature of this relationship.

Marathon Pundit has been investigating this relationship since as far back as 2006, and he'd like to refresh his readers on a couple recent posts he did with the hopes of keeping this issue front and center. Below are two of his most widely read and important posts on the subject:

**WEATHER UNDERGROUND'S "SMASH MONOGAMY" CAMPAIGN--posted May 8, 2008

We've all heard that former Weather Underground members Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, are unrepentant ex-terrorists. Are they unrepentant about smashing monogamy? From the late, great, Moonbat Central blog in 2005:

According to the 1989 book Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About the '60s by Peter Collier and David Horowitz, Weatherman trainees underwent grueling rituals of self-abasement and abuse in which their dignity, individuality and even sexual identity was brutally extinguished. On pages 84-87, Collier and Horowitz write...continue reading.

**BILL AYERS STEPPING ON A U.S. FLAG IN 2001--posted May 4, 2001. (every major blog site linked to this post)

My good friend Anne Leary of Backyard Conservative, a fabulous North Shore blogger, tipped me off to this picture, which I've heard rumors about, of Bill Ayers stepping on a US flag in 2001.

I believe it's from Chicago Magazine, and it accompanied an article in which Ayers was peddling his terrorist memoir, Fugitive Days. ...continue reading.

John did a couple FLAG follow up posts here and here. John located the picture in this Chicago Magazine article.

In an effort to better inform his readers, John posted links to the many stories he's done on this subject.

**WELCOME MICHELLE MALKIN READERS (AND OTHERS)--posted May 5, 2008

Educate yourselves on the Obama--Ayers relationship by reading the above posts and hitting the links. Blog about it too. Remember, this isn't the first time the political machine in Chicago has tried to put a man in the White House. Remember the 1960 election?

Sing A Battle Song
The Revolutionary Poetry, Statements, and Communiques of the Weather Underground, 1970-1974

Edited by Bill Ayers , Bernardine Dohrn , Jeff Jones
Description | Details | Textbooks
Paperback - $19.95 $14.96 Save $4.99 (25%)


Description

Outraged by the Vietnam War and racism in America, a group of young American radicals announced their intention to “bring the war home.” The Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 1970s, bombing the Capitol building, breaking Timothy Leary out of prison, and evading one of the largest FBI manhunts in history.

Sing a Battle Song brings together the three complete and unedited publications produced by the Weathermen during their most active period underground, 1970 to 1974: The Weather Eye: Communiqués from the Weather Underground; Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism; and Sing a Battle Song: Poems by Women in the Weather Underground Organization.

Sing a Battle Song is introduced and annotated by three of the Weather Underground’s original organizers—Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and Jeff Jones—all of whom are all still actively engaged in social justice movement work.

Idealistic, inspired, pissed-off, and often way-over-the-top, the writings of the Weather Underground epitomize the sexual, psychedelic, anti-war counterculture of the American 1960s and 1970s.

BERNARDINE DOHRN is currently the director of the Children and Family Justice Center, and clinical associate professor at Northwestern University School of Law’s Bluhm Legal Clinic. BILL AYERS is a distinguished professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and founder of both the Small Schools Workshop and the Center for Youth and Society. He is the author of fifteen books on teaching and children’s rights, as well as his recent, unflinching memoir, Fugitive Days. JEFF JONES is a life-long environmental activist. He currently consults on political and media strategies for grassroots and progressive groups.
