    Sounds like your typical, angry progressive. This dude is a prime example of what happened to the youth of our country being reared in the 1960′s when Americans began to get “fat and lazy”. When “kids” have too much time on their hands, nothing good ever comes of it. It’s kinda ironic how so few of these “types” existed that were raised in the 1950′s and earlier, when most kids were too busy working their asses off to pull BS stunts like Ayers did. More ironic is the fact that you, as a parent, worked your ass off in the 1940‘s and 1950’s to allow your kids that are entering adulthood in the 1960′s an easier path, yet by doing so, you rob them of some character-building, and their feelings of guilt and inadequacies turn into anger, and you then realize you’ve done little more than create a monster.

    Paraphrasing, “Judge me by the people I surround myself with”. Yep, that’s close to what barry said. And, as most of us realize now, all seem to be radical anti-U.S., anti-capitalist, anti everything that the true lovers of this country are for and all the work, all the efforts that made us who we are(were). We were almost destroyed by these people. Thank God a few people like Glenn and Rush (and many others) who were able to educate us and remind us who we are.

    We are not out of the woods yet by a long shot. These people like Ayers have been planted by this administration in every area of the government and for that matter in places in the non-government arena. This last election, I hope and pray, is only the beginning of the taking back America. There is so much to do and to learn and to REMEMBER. It will be hard to purge them. Ayers is a perfect example of who and what we need to look out for – we all know this.

    barry and this administration have done real harm to the U.S. He has (they) have sold our childrens future as well as hammered us with control(s) that really has not taken place yet. And know one knows what deals are or have been made behind the doors. We the people have NOT been informed.
    We have only seen the shell, not the meat of the truth.

    At this time we can only hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

    He’s right about one thing. The U.S. Government is the most destructive force on earth. Especially if you happen to believe in the Constitution and the rights it enumerates. The U.S. Government has done a very effective job of chipping away at mine for the last 100 years or so, and the current mob in power has shoved the “destruction train” into overdrive. Somehow, though, I don‘t think that’s exactly what Billy-Bob Ayers was talking about.

      @ PSST:
      I fully agree with your assessment, however, I also believe that conditions have presented themselves where the pen alone will not be seen as the solution. I think one thing that Glenn has done is to expose these people. With this exposure now comes a sense of desperation. Now that they have infected youth and others with their propaganda, the next move, as we are seeing, will be to seize this once in a life time opportunity. Get ready…..rough times are ahead.

      I follow what you say. I believe that we are about to enter a very dark period in America, notwithstanding the recent elections. In fact, I believe the process has already begun. At the BQI site, we are encouraging people to prepare for civil unrest. While things are bad in Europe, they will be twice as bad here because we have people actually formenting unrest here as part of the overall strategy to transform America. Unions, Socialist, Communist and others see America as the best last hope for a free society.Bring down America and as one would expect, Europe will easily fold

      Excuse me, but perhaps you’d like to enlighten me as to how many people the Weather Underground killed and/or injured.

      By my understanding this “terrorist organization” killed only one individual ever: one of their own members when an explosive mishap occurred. Beyond that they actually deliberately attacked unattended and evacuated areas to ensure that no one would be hurt and ONLY property would be destroyed.

      Calling this group terrorists like they are somehow equivalent to Al Qaeda is absurd to me. I don’t like what the Weather Underground did, but the implication you make when you call him a terrorist is to compare him to people who conspire to deliberately kill countless innocent people with no regard. If you wanna call Bill Ayers wrong or a bad person, that’s fine, but let’s not pretend he killed anyone ok?

      Obviously you have never heard the story of what they had planned have you? Where they were contemplating taking over America and dividing it up between themselves China, Russia and Mexico i believe. They were also going to start “education camps” to teach us all the “new way of thinking”. Anyone that could not be taught (ie: die hard conservatives and capitalists) would be eliminated. In other words….executed. The man is a friggin terrorist. These people are unwilling to debate fairly because they know they would not win the debate. They only want their way and they WILL GET VIOLENT eventually.

      No disrespect intended to those who were injured or killed, I am familiar with the names you have listed, but the officer who was killed was killed years after the Weather Underground had disbanded by a former a member of the organization during a bank robbery. I‘m not saying it’s not heinous, but I think the label terrorist should be reserved for those who truly deserve it or else we risk taking away any meaning it has.

      Similarly, officers injured during conflicts between protesters and police is also terrible, but I really fail to see how these are even remotely similar to the kinds of acts being committed by terrorists in the modern day.

      I think Ayers is a jerk too, but I don’t see how any of these incidents are things you could hold him responsible for. And as far as the link about him supposedly shooting someone that someone posted, I can’t find a single credible source to corroborate that story and find it highly suspect.

      Here’s what I think is missing from your definition of terrorist PrairieGirl: Terrorists use violence deliberately targeted at INNOCENT CIVILIANS as a means to inspire fear to achieve larger political or societal goals. Otherwise there‘s a lot of people we’d have to start labeling as terrorists that wouldn’t really make sense.

      What exactly did I say that was half true here? No one has actually contradicted what I said. No one.

      The statement I made is very clear. No one was killed by the Weather Underground. The only things people have provided to contradict this is a completely unfounded accusation from a blog that cites no credible sources and a report about an officer being shot during a bank robbery by an ex-weatherman 5-6 years after the organization had disbanded. They injured no civilians, and the police who were injured are documented to have been injured during a confrontation between protestors and police. That doesn’t make it ok, but where the hell is the act of terror? I don’t wanna compare people who blew up empty offices to make a statement to people who actively are trying to kill a civilian population. Why don’t you consider that for a few minutes and then pull your head out of yours?

      @Thisname………………

      You make an interesting point.

      However, I’m not sure about your definition of a terrorist being just a killer of innocent people. I was in college in 1969 and heard first hand the claims of the WU to over throw the government by instilling fear of further violence. They spoke frequently on campuses, using megaphones, using rhetoric designed to incite students to violence, yelling and shouting, and always drawing sizable crowds. They were violent and yes, they were terrorists because they used terror-instilling tactics to achieve their goals. Their movement was intended to ultimately take down the US government and it‘s inexcusable that the FBI didn’t take out the organization by any means necessary. And no, I wasn’t part of it….. just walking between classes, witnessing the frequent events.

      The overview above by Nothenews is accurate. SDS was also very active on campuses then. All of them put together were doing all they could to close down campuses, including holding deans and other “higher-ups” hostage. I guess if you were there then (were you even a gleam in your dad’s eye?) you’d be inclined to agree on the terrorist label.

      Scary isn’t it that he has the ear of the President of the United States. Why, I still don’t understand why the american people voted Obama into office after knowing that he was asscoiated with this guy? God has a plan I believe and these people needed exposing, they have been now thanks to God and Glenn Beck. Now it is up to us how we act and vote. It is up to us who we chose to support, God or these progressives? That is the question each of has to make and act with our votes. May God look with favor upon us and this nation!

      There are those that go into education because business doesn’t want them. This piece of human excrement became a college teacher. Is there any wonder why we get so many educated fools!

      eatherman, known colloquially as the Weathermen and later the Weather Underground Organization (abbreviated WUO), was an American radical left organization. It originated in 1969 as a faction of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)[2] composed for the most part of the national office leadership of SDS and their supporters. Their goal was to create a clandestine revolutionary party for the violent overthrow of the US government and the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat.[3]With leadership whose revolutionary positions were characterized by Black separatist rhetoric,[2] the group conducted a campaign of bombings through the mid-1970s, including aiding the jailbreak and escape of Timothy Leary. The “Days of Rage”, their first public demonstration on October 8, 1969, was a riot in Chicago timed to coincide with the trial of the Chicago Seven. In 1970 the group issued a “Declaration of a State of War” against the United States government, under the name “Weather Underground Organization” (WUO). The bombing attacks mostly targeted government buildings, along with several banks. Most were preceded by evacuation warnings, along with communiqués identifying the particular matter that the attack was intended to protest. For the bombing of the United States Capitol on March 1, 1971, they issued a communiqué saying it was “in protest of the US invasion of Laos.” For the bombing of the Pentagon on May 19, 1972, they stated it was “in retaliation for the US bombing raid in Hanoi.” For the January 29, 1975 bombing of the United States Department of State Building, they stated it was “in response to escalation in Vietna

      The Weathermen grew out of the Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM) faction of SDS. It took its name from the lyric “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”, from the Bob Dylan song Subterranean Homesick Blues. You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows was the title of a position paper they distributed at an SDS convention in Chicago on June 18, 1969. This founding document called for a “white fighting force” to be allied with the “Black Liberation Movement” and other radical movements[5] to achieve “the destruction of US imperialism and achieve a classless world: world communism.”[6]

      The Weathermen largely disintegrated after the United States reached a peace accord in Vietnam in 1973, which saw the general decline of the New Left.

      he thesis of Weatherman theory, as expounded in its founding document, You Don’t Need a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows, was that “the main struggle going on in the world today is between U.S. imperialism and the national liberation struggles against it”,[23] based on Lenin’s theory of imperialism, first expounded in 1916 in Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism. In Weatherman theory “oppressed peoples” are the creators of the wealth of empire, “and it is to them that it belongs.“ ”The goal of revolutionary struggle must be the control and use of this wealth in the interest of the oppressed peoples of the world.“ ”The goal is the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism”[24]

      The Vietnamese and other third world countries, as well as third world people within the United States play a vanguard role. They “set the terms for class struggle in America…”[25] The role of the “Revolutionary Youth Movement” is to build a centralized organization of revolutionaries, a “Marxist-Leninist Party“ supported by a mass revolutionary movement to support international liberation movements and ”open another battlefield of the revolution.”[26][27]

      The theoretical basis of the Revolutionary Youth Movement was an insight that most of the American population, including both students and the supposed “middle class,” comprised, due to their relationship to the instruments of production, the working class,[28] thus the organizational basis of the SDS, which had begun in the elite colleges and had been extended to public institutions as the organization grew could be extended to youth as a whole including students, those serving in the military, and the unemployed. Students could be viewed as workers gaining skills prior to employment. This contrasted to the Progressive Labor view which viewed students and workers as being in separate categories which could ally, but should not jointly organize.[29]

      Federal Bureau of Investigation analysis of the travel history of the founders and initial followers of the organization emphasized contacts with foreign governments, particularly the Cuban and North Vietnamese and their influence on the ideology of the organization. Participation in the Venceremos Brigade, a program which involved US students volunteering to work in the sugar harvest in Cuba, is highlighted as a common factor in the background of the founders of the Weather Underground, with China a secondary influence.[30] This experience was cited by both Kathy Boudin and Bernardine Dohrn as a major influence on their political development.[31]

      The name Weatherman was derived from the Bob Dylan song “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” which featured the lyrics “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.” The lyrics had been quoted at the bottom of an influential essay in the SDS newspaper, New Left Notes. Using this title the Weathermen meant, partially, to appeal to the segment of US youth inspired to action for social justice by Dylan’s songs.

      The Weatherman group had long held that militancy was becoming more important than nonviolent forms of anti-war action, and that university-campus-based demonstrations needed to be punctuated with more dramatic actions, which had the potential to interfere with the US military and internal security apparatus. The belief was that these types of urban guerrilla actions would act as a catalyst for the coming revolution. Many international events indeed seemed to support the Weathermen’s overall assertion that worldwide revolution was imminent, such as the tumultuous Cultural Revolution in China; the 1968 student revolts in France, Mexico City and elsewhere; the Prague Spring; the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association; the emergence of the Tupamaros organization in Uruguay; the emergence of the Guinea-Bissauan Revolution and similar Marxist-led independence movements throughout Africa; and within the United States, the prominence of the Black Panther Party together with a series of “ghetto rebellions” throughout poor black neighborhoods across the country.[32]

      We felt that doing nothing in a period of repressive violence is itself a form of violence. That’s really the part that I think is the hardest for people to understand. If you sit in your house, live your white life and go to your white job, and allow the country that you live in to murder people and to commit genocide, and you sit there and you don’t do anything about it, that’s violence.
      —Naomi Jaffe[4]

      The Weathermen were outspoken advocates of the critical concepts that later came to be known as “white privilege” and identity politics.[33][34] As the unrest in poor black neighborhoods intensified in the early 1970s, Bernardine Dohrn said, “White youth must choose sides now. They must either fight on the side of the oppressed, or be on the side of the oppressor.”[4]

      He like many will not refute what is being said about them. Just as no one is refuting anything Beck has been covering. No conspiracies, no Star Chambers its all right out there in the open yet the majority are still in denial in this country or asleep. This complacency is sickening while “Rome” burns to the ground, as those is power continue to throw gasoline on the fire.

      How many more radicals have to be outed until the state controlled media wakes up and realizes they are nothing but useful tools?

      Americans need to educate themselves. By reading. It’s all out there. Start with: “Radical-In-Chief”, “Shadow Party”, “Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About the Sixties”, “Witness” by Whittaker Chambers, all available on line.

      Start with these, and you will ‘get it’. It’s the only way to thwart their plans for us.
