Bill Ayers, Bernardin Dohrn, and their Weather Underground comrades wrote and published Prairie Fire in 1974. It’s their manifesto, now very hard to get. Abebooks had one copy a few hours ago, at $199! Just now I looked, and it’s been sold. The blogger at Zombietime got a copy and quotes from it liberally, summarizing:
Ayers and the Weather Underground enumerated dozens of different grievances as the rationales for their bombings — their overarching goal being to inspire a violent mass uprising against the United States government in order to establish a communist “dictatorship of the proletariat,” in Ayers’ own words.
They wanted to overthrow the government violently. He became Obama’s ally in distributing Annenberg wealth to radical causes.
In this book, Ayers and friends list their crimes proudly. Ayers
may have escaped conviction due to a legal technicality (the prosecutors failed to get a warrant during some of their surveillance of the Weather Underground), but this in no way means that Ayers was factually innocent of the crimes. As has been widely reported, after the case against him was dropped, Ayers decribed himself as “guilty as hell, free as a bird.”
But Mayordaley II dismisses it all. Obama knows better. He has denied more than a passing acquaintance with Ayers and Dohrn, at first lying, then admitting a little — at all times given a pass by MainStream Media such as Georgie Anne Geyer, who once bearded Castro in his den, or at least once she was out of it, but seems now to have lost her curve ball.

Later: Prairie Fire is available in .pdf at Little Green Footballs, but the site is unreachable at this point, 11 pm CDT Saturday. Keep trying.

Husband was asked at the workout club if he was voting for Obama by two guys in the locker room. His answer, “I’m not voting for the first Communist president of the United States.”
They asked, “What do you mean?”
He answered, “You’ll find out.”
One muttered to himself, “I don’t get it?”
He will if the Nobama wins.
