Obama's Employer Desecrated Flag

Mon, May 5, 2008 at 8:31:14 am PDT

Here’s a photo of former Weather Underground terrorist (and friend of Barack Obama) William Ayers in 2001 (when Obama was much older than 8), proudly stepping on a United States flag. The full article on Ayers’ deeply held radical ideas is here: No Regrets.

(Hat tip: LGF readers.)

I am all for flag desecration of that sort.

It appeals to a very limited subgroup who are anti-American at every turn anyway.

It shows a Truth to millions of other Americans who need to get off the fence.

It is very, very useful idiocy.

Thank you, Mr. Unrepentant Terrorist.

For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag who gives that protester the freedom he abuses to burn that flag.

We need to find sound for this lovely statement made by his wife:


At a 1969 "War Council" in Flint, Michigan, Dohrn gave her most memorable and notorious speech to her followers. Holding her fingers in what became the Weatherman "fork salute," she said of the bloody murders recently committed by the Manson Family in which the pregnant actress Sharon Tate and a Folgers Coffee heiress and several other inhabitants of a Benedict Canyon mansion were brutally stabbed to death: "Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach! Wild!" The "War Council" ended with a formal declaration of war against "AmeriKKKa," always spelled with three K's to signify the United States' allegedly ineradicable white racism.

The big problem with Obama, er, one of the big problems, is that he doesn't know how to distinguish between 'changing America because you love it' and 'changing America because you hate it and think it's the most evil thing on the planet'. If he could make that distinction, it would really help him out. Unfortunately, for him, he doesn't realize his inability to do that and his ignorance and arrogance leads him to initially defend those people, their positions, and his decisions to befriend them. As a president, that's an enormously fatal flaw.

Yet another reason to question Obama's character and fitness to be President of the United States - the choices of company who he chose to associate with.

He purposefully sought out racists, extremists, leftists, socialists, marxists, and anti-American terrorists. Obama's version of outreach means extending his hand to terrorists, unabashed anti-American leftists who sought to attack US institutions including terrorist attacks on the US Capitol, racists who think that hope and change is tied to race, and that improving the economy means imposing command economy/anti-capitalist principles that have never worked, and never will.

71 jamgarr  5/05/08 8:52:19 am reply quote

I was hoping this would turn into a thread. Here's a copy of what I posted in Most Recent Links:

In Fugitive Days, Ayers tries to imagine what happened. Maybe Diana tried to stop the others from their path? Maybe they all drank too much coffee and smoked too many cigarettes?

Maybe Diana saw that this bomb, packed with nails and screws, would have exacted a heavy human toll if it had ever reached its destination—a New Jersey military base. Could she have, in a gesture of sacrifice, crossed the wires herself? "I'll never know what happened," he says. "That's the price I have to pay."

Perfect! - Occam would be proud - create an anti-logical vision of honor and heroism and then top it off with a heavy dose of personalized victimization. The mind boggles!

I'm not intending to excuse Timothy McVeigh, but the comparison shows you the depth of mental rot in this country.

But he certainly didn't come from even a middle -middle class family.

Buy the farm in Woodstock, NY and dig a BIG ASSED MOAT around it. Give every certified "Old Hippie" PERMANENT residence there with all the comforts of society (well Soviet society anyway) on the provision that they NEVER LEAVE the place ESPECIALLY never leave to vote.

Make the proposition attractive to the Old Hippies by helo-dropping all the drugs seized by the DEA in enforcement actions after they are no longer evidence.

Bill Clinton pardoned him. That's why Hillary can't make hay out of the Weather Underground dealio.

Way to go, Bill! You undercut your own wife, dipshit.

It's not just the wealth behind these particular punks that gets to me. It's the wealth of the nation, the hard work that made that wealth possible. These are the fruits of that work?

I can't articulate it further. I hope you know what I mean.

Obama's cabinet an political appointees are going to be very interesting. I can't wait to see who gets nominated for the Supreme Court.

There's going to be a lot more coming out about Ayers soon. My friend at The Anti-MOVE/Anti-Mumia blog has some explosive news coming.

If that's the fella associated with TV Guide it was Nixon I'm pretty sure. His son was an infantry grunt in Vietnam.

It should be very apparent by now that Obama and his cohorts do not love America. They despise it so much that they want to remake America in their image. I think they see Obama as their chance to make change, their chance to create a new America, an America that would be unrecognizable to those of us here.

Forget about Obama and his cohorts being simply Marxists or socialists. I would go so far as to claim they are the epitome of liberal fascists. At least with Hillary, you know she will lie, and you know she will do what she needs to in order to save her political skin. And McCain? He'll joust with the base, fight a little with the party leaders, but in the end, he's not nuts, and he is mostly on our side (gotta dump the amnesty there).

But, Obama and his cohorts seem not to care what they say, and the more outrageous their comments, the more their supporters seem to revel in it. What's scary to me is that certain conservatives are blinded to this type of stuff Obama and his cohorts do and say.

Yeah, I guess what I meant to say was

As a president, that's an enormously fatal flaw.

If he were to be president, I would really hate him for that.

The problem with BHO is that his idea of change closely parallels the 'friends' he has associated with all his life.

It's like getting a free car from your parents for graduation, then torching it in the driveway. An infantile act of rebellion. Basically, he's an asshole.

I think it's more like torching your parents' house. With them inside.

Still a reason NOT to vote for him.

Of course I didn't mean you. Just the leftover domestic terrorists and their fellow travelers. I'm sorry I wasn't clear.

Well, he also pardoned FALN terrorists to help Hillary win the Puerto Rican vote, so he's done double duty going and pardoning terrorists.

I'm willing to bet a lot of his Cook County cronies will find their way into his cabinet and other political appointees.

If a Grand Dragon (or whatever the f**k they're called) of the KKK called you up tomorrow and offered you an appointment to the board of a foundation he had set up, would you take it? Of course not.

Barry was an adult, and there is NO WAY he didn't know who Ayers was or what he stood for.
