I found this article today on the “Revolution: ‘Voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA’” website. Bill Ayers has a very interesting point of view about education and I especially like where he decided to express it.
Remember, Barack Obama worked with Bill Ayers on education issues for several years in Chicago, so Bill Ayers ideas about education are completely relevant to any discussion about Obama’s relationship with Ayers. Bill Ayers was a founder of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and on the Board that selected and approved Barack Obama to run it. Bill Ayers is an admitted “Leftist, radical, small ’c’ communist” so I doubt that he would support someone that did not share his views to run his education organization.
To be fair I should point out that Obama has said that he “deplores Ayers actions in the 1960’s” (when Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground, an organization that bombed a couple of government buildings). The question is, does Obama deplore Ayers ideas to use education to foster a communist revolution in America, or simply the tactics that he used in the 1960’s. Keep in mind that Ayers still freely admits that his opinions have not changed, only his tactics.
I know that many readers are not going to like my characterization of Bill Ayers as “Obama’s Friend”. My reply would be that there is quite a bit of evidence that appears to indicate that Barack Obama knew and collaborated with Ayers for many years (source2) so as far as I am concerned and in the context of whether I would trust Obama to be president. Bill Ayers is Barack Obama’s friend. You just need to wake up.
Besides, I bet you can’t prove that he isn’t!
