Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden

October 7, 2008 · Filed Under William Ayers ·  

Q: What do Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden have in common?

A: They both have terrorist friends who bombed the Pentagon.

I wish I could say that was a joke. But Obama’s friend, William Ayers, is an unrepentant terrorist.

In a bit of ironic timing, the New York Times ran a feature on Ayers on 9/11/01, where Ayers stated, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”

This is the same William Ayers who stated in 1970 that the Weatherman (his terrorist organization) philosophy was, ”Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at.”

In addition to bombing the Pentagon in 1972, William Ayers bombed New York City Police Headquarters in 1970 and the Capitol building in 1971.

Interesting friends you keep, Obama.

The New Yorker Obama Cover

The July 21, 2008 issue of The New Yorker features a cover that will make Obama supporters cringe.

Michelle and Barack Obama on the cover of The New YorkerThe cover Barack Obama in a turban as he fist-bumps his gun-slinging wife, Michelle.

The American flag burns in their fireplace, while a photo of Osama bin Laden hangs on the wall.

The New Yorker intends it as a satirical commentary on misinformation and scare tactics, according to Politico.com.

But I’d say mission not accomplished. The enduring impression will be made by the cover itself.
