Ayers-Dohrn SDS Reunion Tapes

We're into next phase of the campaign, as Barack Obama has not closed the deal.The race shifts on May 6th to neighboring Indiana, and to North Carolina. Powerline started a series Tuesday night, FOBarack Obama. Yesterday's is here.

Welcome to Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn talking about the revolution. Not quite the change we've been led to believe by the Obama campaign. Hugh Hewitt played this stunning stuff on his radio show, discussion here, here and here. The audio clips of Dohrn and Ayers from the aging radicals' SDS reunion last November in Chicago were unearthed by Guy Benson for WYLL, Christian Talk 1160 am. Guy writes to Powerline to intro the clips:

In the process of doing some late-night research for both my own radio show and the program I produce, I stumbled upon a number of breathtaking videos featuring unrepentant terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Both are now gainfully employed at major Chicago-area universities, and both have longtime connections to presidential candidate Barack Obama. The audio linked below falls into two categories: First, a number of "terror era" comments from Ayers and Dohrn from the late 1960s and 1970s emphasize how truly radical, violent, and virulently anti-American they were. The second batch comes from a recent reunion of aging radicals in November 2007. These clips show that Obama's pals are as unhinged as ever, and they severely undermine Team Obama's spin that Ayers and Dohrn are now "respectable" members of the political "mainstream."

Froma Harrop points out even liberal Massachusetts has Obama in a dead heat match-up with McCain, based on concerns about the war on terror. As domestic terrorists don't seem to bother Obama, it's a fair question to ask whether foreign ones really would. Oh well, on 9/11 the terrorists flew out of Boston's Logan, not Chicago's O'Hare.

Karl Rove wonders if Barack Obama is ready for prime time:

She did better – and he worse – than expected in Philadelphia's suburbs. Mrs. Clinton won two of these four affluent suburban counties, home of the white-wine crowd Mr. Obama has depended on for victories before. In the small town and rural "bitter" precincts, she clobbered him.

Given these continuing radical revelations, and his losing small town and some suburban voters, can Barack Obama win in the fall?

P.S. This jogged my memory, found my post on the SDS harassing my congressperson and flaming Leftie Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-9th), an Obama-backer (who wants his slot), whose ex-felon husband Robert Creamer indoctrinated America's youth at Camp Obama. The Bench has some footage of the SDS-ers.
