Political Republican Opinion: 
I was listening to the Glenn Beck radio show today and the subject of Barack Obama’s relationship with William Ayers came up and why it is relevant. Liberals will say, “William Ayers did all that stuff when Obama was eight. How can you hold Barack Obama accountable for stuff that another man did when Obama was just a child?”Glenn Beck went into quite a lengthy dissertation of why it is relevant today. The transcript is as follows:
Why do you announce your campaign at this guy’s house? Now, who is he? Let me give you the history of William Ayers. I gave it to you in a thumbnail. You can find it several places. The most concise comes out of ‘101 Professors,’ and this is a book about the worst professors in America, okay? William Ayers is a professor at the University of Illinois Chicago. Wait a minute. A connection to University of Illinois and Barack Obama. Isn’t this where Barack Obama also has taught some classes and used Solwinski, yet another 1960s radical, another anarchist? Yes.
William Ayers, he’s the leader of the Weathermen. It was a group of students for a Democratic society. This is in 1969. They went underground to become America’s very first terrorist cult. The Weathermen have been described by Ayers as “An American red army.” Got it? American communist army. I don’t believe we’ve had other armies in this country. American red army.
In 1969 the Weather Underground issued a formal declaration of war on America. And by the way, America is spelled A M E R I KKK A. Sound familiar? Is there anybody else in Barack Obama’s life? Is there anybody else in Barack Obama’s life that has described U.S. of KKK A? They attempted to incite white student radicals to engage in terrorist activities that would provoke a race war in America, spelled with three Ks. White radicals would shed their white skin privilege to aid third world peoples in plundering the ill gotten wealth of the United States. Ayers summed up the ideology as, ‘Kill all the rich people; break up their cars and apartments; bring the revolution home; kill your parents.’I don’t care how long it has been since you said this; that phrase should stay with you as an albatross around your neck for the rest of your life!
Now, that again was said in the 1960s. So let’s continue to follow the repentant attitude of Mr. Williams Ayers who again said ‘kill all the rich.’ Listen to this in the context of the message of Barack Obama. I do not believe Barack Obama wants to kill the rich. I do not believe that Barack Obama would ever say or ever want anyone to kill their parents. That is not Barack Obama. However, listen to Barack Obama’s rhetoric on socialism. Listen to his rhetoric on class warfare. Listen and put this into context with what Obama says about the working man and the best way for the working men, that there has to be a fundamental change of redistribution of wealth. [Or,] to put [it] into Michelle Obama’s words, “Some people are going to have to give up their piece of pie so others can have more.” Same words [by Barack Obama], just let me rephrase. ‘I don’t agree with their tactics, but I understand their point of view.’ ‘Kill all the rich people; break up their cars and parts; bring the revolution home; kill your parents.’
The Weather Underground managed to bomb the U.S. capitol building, New York City police headquarters, the Pentagon, the National Guard offices in Washington D.C., among many other targets. In 1970, three of the members blew themselves up in a Manhattan townhouse where they were making a bomb they planned to set off at a social dance for young military recruits and their dates at Fort Dix, New Jersey. The FBI was unable to catch Ayers and his other cohorts. They were protected; [now] listen carefully … They were protected by the networks of the progressive left. They were protected by the networks of the progressive left, including their expensive lawyers, for five years, until the organizations dissolved through internal conflict. So, for five years, the progressive left, with all of their money, protected them, using the progressive left’s attorneys until the Weather Underground finally broke apart.
They surfaced again in 1980. They received no serious jail time for their crimes, being let off on a technicality that they had been improperly surveilled. So they didn’t really serve any jail time for blowing up anything because the pigs were doing things they shouldn’t have done.
They went back to college where their political comrades now tenured in faculty helped them embark on new careers. Ayers became a professor of early childhood education and a senior university scholar at the University of Illinois Chicago. He has never changed or modified his political views. Professor Ayers has written a series of books about parenting, including to become a teacher, city kids, city teachers. His most recent book, ‘Fugitive Days,’ is a memoir of his Weathermen exploits. In chaotic text, professor Ayers recounts his life as a 1960s radical, his role as an organizer in the 1969 days of rage riots in Chicago, his tenure as a Weatherman leader, his terrorist campaign across America and in his most recent book, his hatred for America, he says, ‘What a country. It makes me want to puke.’
When interviewed shortly after surfacing from the terrorist underground in a kindergarten where he was already teaching, Ayers comment, reflecting on his fortunes was, ‘Guilty as hell, free as a bird, America. What a great country. In recounting his bombing crusade, he has said, ‘There’s something about a good bomb. Night after night, day after day, each majestic scene I witnessed was so terrible and so unexpected that no city would ever soon stand innocently fixed in my mind. Big buildings and wide streets, cement and steel were no longer permanent. They, too, were fragile and destructible. A torch, a bomb, a strong enough wind. And they, too, would come undone or get knocked down.”‘
In unbelievable irony, he was interviewed. The New York Times ran a profile of him to mark the publication of the book that I just quoted from. That article ran on September 11th, 2001. While the world was watching the World Trade Centers come down, nobody picked up the paper to read the New York Times that day because already the news was old. But this is what he was quoted as saying in the New York Times on September 11th, 2001: ‘I don’t regret setting bombs; I don’t feel we did enough.’ Of the day he bombed the Pentagon, Professor Ayers wrote in his memoir, ‘Everything was absolutely ideal. The sky was blue. The birds were singing and the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.’When reflecting on whether or not he would use bombs against the U.S. in future, a senior university scholar, Williams Ayers writes, ‘I can’t imagine entirely dismissing the possibility.’
That is William Ayers. By the way, [in] his book, ‘A Kind and Just Parent,’ he argues that we have to overcome our prejudices concerning violent juvenile offenders. In his book that came out in 2001, ‘Zero Tolerance: Resisting the Drive for Punishment in our Schools,’ Professor Ayers argues against expelling children from classrooms - especially if they are black or Latino. In a book that came out in 2004 in teaching towards freedom, moral commitment and ethical action in the classroom, Professor Ayers writes that an unrepented … I’m sorry, the unrepentant terrorist writes an evocative lesson about education and humanity. I don’t know who he is; he is apparently a communist bureaucrat and Malcolm X. In order to explain what students should be for and what students should be against. Malcolm X and a communist is what our children should be taught so they know what they should be for and against.
That’s William Ayers. Now, you can dismiss this man and say, ‘well, that’s [the] 1960s!’ No, it’s not! He has never said, “I’ve changed my ways.” He never said, “Well, I did stupid stuff while I was young.” He still today will not rule out the possibility of making war on the United States and using bombs to blow up buildings. Today, he won’t do that. And yet, Barack Obama launched his campaign at [William Ayer's] house. Good God almighty in his seat in heaven, how much more evidence do you need before you question the people standing around Barack Obama.”
The Political Republican Opinion agrees with Glenn Beck. One of the key components that can be used to determine the character of a man, is his associations and utilization of judgement. What if Barack Obama had been a casual friend of Osama Bin Laden? Would this make you question his judgement? Would you still be accepting of his stock-in-trade line, “that’s not the Osama Bin Laden that I knew!”? If so, you are one of the hopeless, mindless throng that worships at the feet of the new political messiah. You cannot be helped; your lot in life is set. You will always be a follower and easily guided by the empty promises of those that see you as easy prey.
For those with a brain - those who have the capability to judge a man by his deeds and not his words, the only conclusion can be that Barack Obama is, indeed, a scary man. How one could ever turn the most powerful position in the world over to a man with such questionable character is beyond me!
