HowardGo Ask Obama
Real Crash- Looking at the Financial System and the War Drive:
Grace Slick- The White Rabbit and Obama
One pill makes you larger,
An one pill makes you small;
And the hopium of Obama;
Ask Barack, when he's ten feet tall;
(White Rabbit, Gracie Slick)
Ayers and wife, B. Dohrn's book is not the only prominent work of the former Weathermen bombers. On Dec. 21, 1997, Barack Obama (your next president? I hope McCain knows about this.) wrote a review of Bill Ayers' book, "A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court," which had recently been published by Beacon Press. Obama's photo, and his brief comment praising the book appeared in the Chicago Tribune. Obama's review called the book, "A searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair." The review was part of a column called "Mark My Word," in which Chicago notables praise their current favorite books.
Just a few weeks before Obama's review was published in the Tribune, Michelle Obama had organized a panel about juvenile justice on Nov. 20, 1997. The publicity for Michelle Obama's meeting announced that "Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School..." according to zombietime.com (link). Is this "Rev. Wright's revenge?"
More than 3,000 "educators" have signed a statement of support for "our friend and colleague, Bill Ayers," noting that "The current characterizations of Professor Ayers--an `unrepentant terrorist,' `lunatic leftist,--are unrecognizable to those who know or work with him." Signers include H. Bruce Franklin, the "Rutgers professor" who founded the Revolutionary Union with Robert Avakian, who also served in Air Force Intelligence. Note that the RU's (Revolutionary Union) favorite organization is the Maoist terrorist group, Sendero Luminoso, of Peru.
