Obama the Marxist on WBEZ, 2001

UPDATE below--Ayers surfaces in NYC. ***HT Mick and Stop the ACLU. Spread the wealth--redistribute the wealth. Using the Supreme Court as a club. The Obama camp downplays it, but I say no, no, no!!! Audio:Bill Ayers with Obama supporters in Manhattan:

The press was barred from the discussion yesterday at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting near Gramercy Park, but a Daily News reporter managed to get inside.

The former member of the Weather Underground beamed at the attention paid by the audience of about 60 people, many of whom were decked out in Obama gear.

The crowd gave Ayers a warm welcome, guffawed at jokes about "redistributing the wealth" and nodded at his complaints about the "Republican revolution."

Perhaps an unfortunate turn of phrase for a domestic terrorist nail bomber. According to the Daily News he was: "tired of being used as cannon fodder in America's political wars". I suppose he thinks of himself as some sort of Shakespearian figure of tragedy. You're a murderer Bill Ayers--you've admitted it, you've never repented it, or been punished for it, and now you're trying to teach our children to emulate you. And to this day, Barack Obama has never given us a good explanation of why he would ever, ever have anything at all to do with you--and for so many years in such a close way, as mentor and student. It's because he agrees with you.
