‘Guilty as Sin, Free as a Bird’: Bill Ayers

Oct. 16, 2012 11:36am

Editor’s Note: This week, the DVD of the movie “2016″ will be released. A key premise of the film is that Barack Obama has his own set of five “founding fathers” — five key people who shaped his worldview. This week, TheBlaze will examine one of those individuals each day. Yesterday we examined Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Today, the focus will be on Bill Ayers, the man credited with launching Obama’s political career from his Chicago apartment. 

​​From noon until 12:30pm today, writer Tiffany Gabbay and TheBlaze Editor-in-Chief Scott Baker will be discussing this article live on today’s BlazeCast:

 

“Guilty as sin, free as a bird.” That is a term all-too apropos for unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, a man who set off explosives at the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a police station, two Army recruiting stations and a New York judge’s home while his entire family slept inside. He is the founder and leader of the now-defunct radical group, The Weather Underground, of which three members perished while building additional bombs that were, ironically, intended to cause harm to others. He is also the man who happened to help launch an ambitious community organizer’s political career into the stratosphere right from his apartment on Chicago’s South Side.

As TheBlaze continues its series on President Obama’s “Founding Fathers,” we will explore the life and times of America’s most notorious anti-war radical and his association with the man who would go on to become the leader of the free world.

It perhaps comes as no surprise that the domestic terrorist-turned respected University of Illinois-Chicago professor took a shine to Obama back in 1995 when the aspiring politico was being considered to fill Democrat Alice J. Palmer’s state senate seat. While still a relative unknown at the time, as community organizer, Obama was well positioned to stake his place in the world of leftwing Chicago politics – a place Ayers himself deftly traversed and whose various radical initiatives would stand to benefit from being a part of.

Of course, Ayers has denied “knowing” Obama personally prior to hosting a campaign gathering for the state senate hopeful in his own living room back in 1995. Still, most agree it seems unlikely that any person, let alone a highly regarded professor and activist, would “vouch” for a political candidate with whom he had no prior knowledge, personal tie, or vested interest in.

And history might back up this theory.

From 1994-2002, Obama and Ayers sat together on the same board of directors for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), an education-focused organization Ayers himself had helped found, and the Woods Fund, a foundation tasked with fighting poverty. In fact, it has been speculated that Ayers was actually keen on recruiting Obama to serve on the board of Annenberg for his influence and connections within the South Side’s black community.

So just how closely did the two work together while battling for the soul of Chicago’s education system?

The Annenberg Challenge

Launched in 1995 as a five-year education-reform initiative to improve public schools in Chicago and across the U.S., billionaire-publishing mogul and ambassador Walter Annenberg underwrote the organization bearing his namesake with $500 million of his own capital. Over 1,600 foundations, businesses, higher learning institutions, and private citizens contributed an additional $600 million in matching funds.

Nonetheless, the organization itself was in fact founded by Bill Ayers and in the words of author and columnist Stanley Kurtz, functioned as CAC’s “guiding spirit.”

While in its nascent stage, Ayers along with five members of a working group assembled the foundation’s board of directors, inevitably electing a young Barack Obama chairman of the board, a position the community organizer would hold for four years. Now to understand the gravitas of Obama’s appointment, we must understand just how important education is to Bill Ayers.

Annenberg: the culmination of Ayers’ life work

Ironically, despite his checkered past as a violent radical who incited youth across the country to “kill the rich,” even their “parents,” Bill Ayers would go on to become a highly regarded professor of education. Of course, given the leftist bent of America’s, and particularly, Chicago’s intelligentsia, it is perhaps no surprise the former Weatherman found himself heartily welcomed within the halls of academia.

Ayers’ biography describes him as a Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at UIC (retired), founder of the Small Schools Workshop (an organization whose name bears remembering) and the Center for Youth and Society. In addition, Ayers taught courses in interpretive and qualitative research, urban school change, and “teaching and the modern predicament.”

The left-wing activist is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the Bank Street College of Education, Bennington College, and serves as vice-president of the curriculum studies division of the American Educational Research Association. What’s more, Ayers has authored and edited well over a dozen books on education not including articles he has penned for the Harvard Educational Review and the Cambridge Journal of Education, to name a few.

 

To best “advance the organization’s agenda,” Obama reportedly focused on CAC’s fiscal matters while Ayers honed in on education policy. What’s more, the two collaborated closely while writing Annenberg’s bylaws.

Proof of this was uncovered by Kurtz, who perused CAC’s archives housed in the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois-Chicago. The foundation’s annual reports, a selection of board minutes and even documentation on the organizations and initiatives both funded and rejected by CAC have all been publicly available. According to Kurtz, the Daley archives reveal that Obama and Ayers indeed worked as a team. But what did this team actually set out to accomplish?

The answer may be far from shocking when one considers the players involved.

Under the former Weatherman’s stewardship, Annenberg turned out to be less-focused on improving student-performance across Chicago’s public schools and instead functioned as a vessel through which Ayers could effect the radical change outlined in his book, “Teaching Toward Freedom,” which posited that educators should “teach against the oppression” pervading American society and encourage “revolution and social transformation.”

Thus, Ayers and Obama’s Annenberg Challenge set out not to improve mathematics, test-taking and reading skills among students, but rather to radicalize Chicago schools. Those schools, ostensibly, had to sign on to the ideals and mission of a “small ‘c’ Communist” (as Ayers has openly dubbed himself) in order to receive funding. Suspiciously, however, the schools themselves were not the ones to receive the actual capital, rather they were instructed to join forces with “external partners,” who received the CAC grants.

If it sounds confusing, that is likely because Ayers set out to obfuscate what CAC funds were being used for and by who.  When you read on, you’ll understand why.

To ensure his goals were realized, Ayers, along with his chairman of the board, Barack Obama, ensured that more than $100 million flowed into the coffers of community organizers and activist groups, all of which upheld the ideals championed in “Teaching Toward Freedom.”

Even programs tasked with promoting political “leadership” among parents were recipients of CAC funding.  ”In practice, it meant funding Mr. Obama’s alma mater, the Developing Communities Project, to recruit parents to its overall political agenda,” Kurtz wrote in the Wall Street Journal.

According to Kurtz’s research, proposals from groups focused on achieving milestones in math Guilty as Sin, Free as a Bird: Bill Ayers and science were rejected outright while CAC happily allocated funds to “various far-left community organizers,” including the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).  Through the organizations ”City Kids, City Teachers” and “Teaching the Personal and the Political,” Ayers unabashedly admitted that teachers should become community organizers.

 

Meanwhile, “external partners” like the South Shore African Village Collaborative and the Dual Language Exchange enjoyed the benefits of CAC funds as the groups focused on issues of Afrocentricity and bilingualism, according to Kurtz.

What’s more, Discover the Networks noted that $600,000 of CAC’s funds were allocated to the aforementioned Small Schools Workshop, an organization founded by Ayers and run by Mike Klonsky, a self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist and Mao Zedong-idolater. Small School’s mission was allegedly to motivate schools to commit themselves to upholding political themes and “confront issues of inequity, war, and violence.”

CAC’s collapse

Perhaps because Ayers and his board were more focused on radicalizing schools, parents and educators in progressivism and social justice than on performing the task with which they were charged: actually improving traditional education, CAC failed in its mission utterly. Kurtz noted that in-house evaluators reviewed the effects of CAC grants in relation to test scores of Chicago public-school students and found no educational improvement of any kind. This was documented in CAC’s own final report.

Obama stepped down as chairman in 1999, but remained on CAC’s board until the foundation became defunct in 2001. Despite CAC’s ultimate failure, the organization’s remaining assets were transferred to the Chicago Public Education Fund, where, not coincidentally, Obama served as a member of the “Leadership Council” from 2001 through 2004, along with Ayers’ father and brother.

Other boards and dealings

Reports indicate that combined, the Weather Underground leader and Obama attended dozens Guilty as Sin, Free as a Bird: Bill Ayers of quarterly and standard board meetings, as well as panel discussions, retreats, and at least one news conference together via the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and the Woods Fund until roughly 2002. One panel discussion was even organized by Michelle Obama.

Nonetheless, Obama’s time spent on progressive boards rubbing elbows with Chicago’s political and academic elite helped transform him from relative “nobody” to a formidable operator with the Windy City’s rough-and-tumble political scene.

While at the Woods Fund and Joyce Foundation, the soon-to-be state senator channeled what the New York Times reported was “tens of millions of dollars in grants” to champion liberal causes including the environment, campaign finance reform and gun control. Various antipoverty groups with ties to Chicago’s powerful labor unions and ACORN were the recipients of some of these grants. Not coincidentally, Obama also needed the organizations’ endorsements to win his State Senate race.

With Ayers a fixture of the very progressive milieu Obama sought to penetrate, it is entirely plausible that the aspiring politician would have forged collegial ties with the former Weatherman.

Most accounts, particularly from the Obama camp, suggest that the two men had no additional contact after 2002 save for a brief encounter while the two were bike-riding in Hyde Park in 2007. However, Dr. Tom Perrin, Assistant Professor of English at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama, who was a graduate student at the University of Chicago and lived next door to Ayers and Dohrn wrote on his blog at 8:44 a.m. on July 6, 2005:

Guess what? I spent the 4th of July evening with star Democrat Barack Obama! Actually, that’s a lie. Obama was at a barbecue at the house next door (given by a law professor who is a former member of the Weather Underground) and we saw him over the fence at our barbecue. Well, the others did. It had started raining and he had gone inside be the time I got there. Nevertheless.

So did Obama and Ayers remain friendly until at least 2005, three years after they last served together on the board of directors of the Woods Fund?  Given the small world of South Side Chicago politics, it is indeed possible.

 

 

“Dreams”

Another oddity surrounding the connection between Bill Ayers and President Obama can be found in black and white in the president’s memoir, “Dreams From My Father.” The topic of whether Ayers in fact authored “Dreams” was first broached before the 2008 presidential election. Jack Cashill, author of the book, “Deconstructing Obama,” has consistently maintained that Ayers “is the principal craftsman behind Dreams” and that the “evidence is overwhelming.” In fact, the Weatherman himself claimed ownership of the book on two separate occasions, once captured on video.

While speaking at Montclair State University in March, 2011, Ayers admitted to writing “Dreams” and declared that if anyone could “prove it” he would “split the royalties.”

Whether his admission was said in jest remains unclear, but experts who have compared “Dreams” to Obama’s subsequent book, “The Audacity of Hope,” seem to agree that the writing styles differ greatly with each work, the latter being of lesser quality. Given Ayers proficiency with the English language, and as an educator who has authored, co-authored and edited dozens of books and scholarly articles, it does seem possible that the retired professor’s expertise was invoked by Obama when putting together the pages of his memoir.

What’s more, with Ayers’ nature as an anti-war radical and political progressive, he would have been innately in-tune with the anti-colonial sentiment harbored by Obama’s father, Barak Sr., which served as the prevailing theme throughout the entire book.

Today, Ayers has been an equal, if less hostile critic of the free market, praising Occupy Wall Street and declaring that he still wakes up each and every morning with a renewed push to end capitalism.

“I get up every morning and think, today I’m going to make a difference,” Ayers said in an online video clip. “Today I’m going to end capitalism. Today I’m going to make a revolution. I go to bed every night disappointed but I’m back to work tomorrow, and that’s the only way you can do it.”

While President Obama has never condoned violent protest, he has commiserated with the Occupy movement and been vocal in his support of the group’s worldview and ultimate goal. In turn, while the depth of the connection between Ayers and Obama is still uncertain

When presidential biographers set out to understand what makes their subjects tick, the first topic delved into will be the friends, family, mentors and colleagues with whom a president shared various stages of his life. Thus, when one views the Commander in Chief’s style of governing through the lens of his role models, a clearer pictures comes into focus. Such appears to be the case with President Obama and the man who hosted a parlor meeting for the young community organizer in his Chicago home nearly 20 years ago.

    Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn should be given a dose of their medicine and that is blown up and buried in the rubble while they sleep.

    If that’s not possible, they should be hounded and harassed every time their ugly mugs are seen in public. If they ever leave the country, their passports should be revoked as ‘persona-non-grate’.

    If they sneak back into the country under cover of darkness, they should be ‘shot on sight’. No trial, no jury – just execution.

    They have no business being in this country!

      I was thinking the same thing. Protester outside their house throwing red paint and erecting signs proclaiming they are ‘haters’. It isn’t the level of violence as they perpetrated, but an ongoing protest …….. never ending. Only issue is his honor Rahm would call out the goon squads.

      Interesting story…Bill Ayers is from my hometown here in Illinois. And my mother, who has been living in this town for the past 25 years, met women who dated and knew Ayers back in high school and college. Do you want to know how he was? He was a massive d bag. Big shock there. And, his father made enemies all around the town for having such huge communist views and which nobody supported despite his wealth and money. So in a weird way, Tom Ayers was pretty much a Michael Moore type back in the sixty’s and seventy’s. Trashing the very society in which he benefited from. Talk about irony.

      How many white kids lives have been affected negatively by people like Bill Ayers sitting on educational committees? How many have not found fair treatment and justice because of people like him who have weeded them selves into positions like that? I had many run in just because I was never the kind of guy to allow myself to be pushed around by hoodlum bullies which infest our schools and they even force them to come there and tell you not to defend yourself. Like hell.

      In my human mind, he should be in a cell til his earthly death. Or he should suffer the fate that murderers and seditionist rightfully are due.

      I sense pure evil in this man. Justice. Justice. Justice. Someday.

      Agreed. Let’s have a revolution outside Ayers house and see how he likes it. He wants to start a revolution in America.

      It is ironic that he loves education and at the same time tells people they should kill the rich along with their parents. Those are the people that went to school to get an education so they can become successful and wealthy. They didn’t get educated to sit around and collect benefits.

    I think we can now agree that B. Ayers is an admitted criminal that is & was a Friend of Obama.
    Now if it weren’t for the fact that Obama has a lot of these nefarious kind of friends, I would not be so harsh on him. But their are just to many things to take into account. I think that Obama & B. Ayers are joined at the hip.
    I also think that a lot of other people in high places have a vested interest in helping this administration stay in power.
    How many of you remember that when B Clinton was in office his bunch created their own personal information data base by tapping into every source for personnel information on citizens the government had collected through the years. They even went thru the physical paper files looking for dirt to control people with.
    Based on history/facts we can determine without doubt that we now have a government full of the B. Ayres type criminals. This song reflects the frustrations of what our country is going through called

      Never allow hate to consume you because if you do, it will only HARM YOU. It will eat at you, starting from the inside, and then it will change you on the outside, as well. You will then be negative, condescending, and just a miserable person. I should know. I let it happen (IT IS A PERSONAL CHOICE) to me over 25 years ago and I lost my friends, my family, everything. I realized after that, that NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO. That includes the way you feel, the way you act, and the way you think. This is why the Bible tells us to think on GOOD THINGs that are UPLIFTING. I read all these negative comments and yes, this President makes me angry, but I do not hate him because WE, THE PEOPLE, have the sole power to take him out of the White House.

      BE YE ANGRY AND SIN NOT, the Bible says.
      You can get angry, but act on the anger at the voting booth! Never anywhere else.
      OR, it will totally CONSUME YOU. May God watch over you and keep you safe, while helping you to be more positive, especially positive about Obama losing the election.

And how blind some people can be when you have a Obama standing there and saying ..O…the bus is right over there jump on it you can register and vote today.. Excuse me . I will make up my own mind thank you very much. What did interest me about Obama’s campaign rally yesterday when they did this, is wondering where the line is draw. I thought you couldn’t pander for votes around a polling place..But that is exactly what they were doing.

The problem is that both systems are an anathema to our way of life. We could not get a worse president if we let the Chinese pick him. Obama must go before he destroys us.

And to think, he is some sort of Professor, teaching our children HIS line of RADICAL thinking! This is why this country is going to HELL in a hand basket, in a real F—ING hurry! Shame on the people that ALLOW this PUTRID human being, to be PROGRAMMING our young minds! ALL of these so-call people, need to be in prison, and ALL that agree with their undermining train of thought!

    We don’t even know anything about his academic background. Romney has one bachelor’s degree, one masters degree in finance, one juris Doctor and 5 honorary Ph.d’s while Obama surrenders his law license http://www.teapartytribune.com/2012/10/15/romney-has-one-masters-degree-in-finance-one-juris-doctor-and-5-honorary-ph-ds-while-obama-surrenders-his-law-license/

      We can vote for OUR BOY five times in three different states to help him get reelected so he can finish the job!!! Its not against the law to vote Democrat multiple times in as many sates as you can! Also cast the votes for all of your dead relatives because their voices need to be heard. Don’t forget the votes from Clark Kent, Peter Parker, and Mickey Mouse.

    It’s all verifiable and quite brilliant from a Machiavellian point of view. It’s best to know the motivations and methods of those you are either forced or choose to interact.

    “The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men.”

    –Samuel Adams, letter to James Warren, 1775

    The fact is that the public IS curious about the character of a man who no one knew. That is why 2016 did so well in theaters and will continue to be viewed in homes, churches and meeting rooms every day, throughout the country, from now until election day. There is too much we are just now learning about Obama, thanks to a mass media that has its sights set on his reelection. They are fully aware that, if we know the truth about the man, his chances are nil.

      Take a look at the video “Dreams From My Real Father” for a different look at Obama’s life. I found it to be an eye opener.

    Why would the taxpayers allow a rotten thug like Bill Ayers to keep his employment at University of Illinois-Chicago, where he can continue to corrupt the minds of our children?

    I think the people of Illinois need to force the issue to get rid of that creep!

    Scare tactic NEVERMIND? You mean like trying to make it appear that Romney killed a man’s wife? Or that Romney will stop cancer screenings for women? You’re an idiot.
    ****

    If you have a problem with those examples you mentioned you should have the same outrage at this tactic behind the story. You know..2 wrongs dont make a right. Even my 4 year old knows that one.

    But go ahead and run with it. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results so have fun. The rest of the world is laughing at you birther conspiricy nut jobs

    you might be right about a non story in 08,that is because the left hid all obamas records and he lied about his association with bill ayers and they also hid the fact that obama and his buddies all hate america and that they would do whatever it takes to bring her down and to punish all whites for slavery that they had nothing to do with, but no one knew that part,but now we do and trust me it is not a non story and it is not red meat for the base it is fact.
    ****

    Hid his records?Obama was what 10 years old when Ayers was doing bombings? What records woudl be hidden? You say our President hates America? You sir are a fool, your talk ing points seem vute but enlighten us as to what records were hidden about his association wiht Ayers

      Oh, I believe you that this regime loves America, like a kid loves his candy store. Point is, they loath the America founded by it’s fore fathers written in the Declaration of Independence. nevermind the socialist Democrats who follow in lock step like sheep to the slaughter.

      If you look the title on the main page was “Obama’s ‘founding fathers’; day 2″ your observation is very astute that they ran a story yesterday and today about men that shaped him. The blaze can’t sneak anything by you!

      Maybe there will be a day 3; any predictions?
