1995 - Terrorist Bill Ayers helps launch Barack Obama's political
career by hosting a political event on his behalf.
1995 - 1999 Ayers, who controlled the Chicago Annenberg
Challenge (CAC), hired Barack Obama as
Chairman of the Board of the CAC, even though he had no
experience other than as a "community organizer."
2001 - "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do
enough." Ayers is quoted in NYT article.
2008 - Barack Obama admits "
Ultimately, I ended up learning about the fact that he had
engaged in this reprehensible act 40 years ago, but I was eight
years old at the time and I assumed that he had been
rehabilitated."
Senator Obama says that he thought that Ayers, a person who
attacked institutions of the United States, had been rehabilitated.
Did Senator Obama believe that Timothy McVeigh had been
rehabilitated? Does he think that Osama bin Laden has been
rehabilitated? How can a person of reasonable intelligence "assume"
that a person who bombs anything is rehabilitated? Wouldn't you
want some proof or evidence of rehabilitation? How can you work for
somebody for several years, working with his associates, and not
know that he is an admitted terrorist? The sad truth is that Bill
Ayers is completely unrepentant and is a friend of Senator Obama.
How can a country elect a President who is cool with people
attacking his own constituents?
