In a Not-Remotely-Comic Strip, Bill Ayers Weighs In on What He Meant By 'We Didn't Do Enough' to End Vietnam WarTHIS IS A LOAD OF CRAP MEANT TO INOCULATE OBAMA FROM WHAT HE AND AYERS KNOW IS IN THE ANNENBERG CHALLENGE FILES - WHICH WILL COME OUT SOON.September 09, 2008 11:06 AM
In a four-panel not-even-remotely-comic strip, William Ayers, the former member of the Weather Underground and associate of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., weighs in on his blog on some of the controversy he's been causing.
... It reads:"From his Chicago home, Bill Ayers responds to the 'We didn't do enough,' statement, a soundbite echoing ad nauseam through the media."
Says the Ayers cartoon: "It's impossible to get to be my age and not have plenty of regrets. The one thing I don't regret is opposing the war in Vietnam with every ounce of my being.
"During the Vietnam war, the Weather Underground took credit for bombing several government installations as a dramatic form of armed propaganda. Action was taken against symbolic targets in order to declare a state of emergency. But warnings were always called in, and by design no one was ever hurt.
"When I say, 'We didn't do enough,' a lot of people rush to think, 'That must mean, "We didn't bomb enough s---."' But that's not the point at all. It's not a tactical statement, it's an obvious political and ethical statement. In this context, 'we' means 'everyone.'...
- THEY ARE BEGINNING TO TRY HARD TO SPIN AYERS INTO SOME MAINSTREAM KIND OF GUY BECAUSE THESE FILES WILL PROVE THEY WERE VERY VERY CLOSE.
- THE OTHER MAJOR SCANDAL TO COME OUT THESE FILES WILL BE TWO-FOLD:\
- IT WILL SHOW THAT OBAMA AND AYERS GAVE ALL $160MILLION TO THEIR LEFT-WING CRONIES
- AND THAT THE PROGRAM THESE LEFTISTS RAN WITH THE MONEY HAD ZERO POSITIVE EFFECT ON PUBLIC EDUCATION IN CHICAGO.
- IOW: THAT IT WAS A CORRUPT FAILURE - LIKE OBAMA AND REZKO'S LOW INCOME HOUSING PROJECTS.
- DO YOU THINK IT'S WISE TO REWARD A CORRUPT POLITICIAN WITH AN EVEN BIGGER JOB O THAT IF BEING POTUS?!?
