Imagine a presidential candidate being associated with this guy:

Bill Ayers joined a leftist terrorist group called Weatherman, an offshoot of the communist-supported and socialist Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in 1969. The Weatherman organization engaged in and committed violent riots, murders, bombings, various acts of terrorism, and even officially declared war on the United States! The group, which bombed the Pentagon, United States Capitol, also targeted police stations and the family of a judge who presided over the trial of the so-called "Panther 21," members of the Black Panther Party indicted in a plot to bomb New York landmarks and department stores.

Bill Ayers has summed up the Weatherman philosophy as thus:

"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 their communist ideology, they also believed that white people, as a whole were racist. In the early 1970s, Bernardine Dohrn, a leader of the Weatherman organization and also the wife of Bill Ayers stated that:

"White youth must choose sides now. They must either fight on the side of the oppressed, or be on the side of the oppressor."

The members of the Weatherman organization have remained proud of their attacks on America, even to this day. Here are some of the statements made by Bill Ayers:

On bombing the Pentagon:

"Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon.

The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them."

In a 2001 interview which was published on 9/11:

"I don't regret setting bombs, I feel we didn't do enough."

Bill Ayers has since been rewarded for his terrorist attacks on his own country with a comfortable position as a tenured education professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Similarly, Bernardine Dohrn is now a Clinical Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University in Chicago and has previously been employed by the law firm Sidley Austin.

In 1995, Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer introduced Barack Hussein Obama has her chosen successor to some of the well-known leftists of her district at the home of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Some of the guests at that gathering described Obama and Ayers as "friends".

Indeed, Obama and Ayers have crossed paths many times. Both served on the Woods Fund board, a Chicago-based non-profit organization that has also donated large sums of money to Islamic groups associated with terrorist organizations. In addition, Ayers, who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama's senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements.

In addition to Barack Hussein Obama's connections with Bill Ayers, in the late 1980s, Michelle Obama worked at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley Austin, which was the same time that Bernardine Dohrn worked there.

Of course, these communists and communist sympathizers were a very influential and important part of Obama's constituency, while he was running for and serving in the Illinois Senate. Yet, even as a US Senator and now, as the Democratic Party presidential nominee, Obama has continued to represent very far left ideas, ranking as the number one liberal in the US Senate. Above all, Obama's ties to communists go back to the 1970s, when he was still a teenager.

In "Dreams from My Father," Obama's autobiography, he discusses the influence a mentor identified in the book only as "Frank" had on his intellectual development. "Obama described Frank as a drinking companion of his grandfather, who had boasted of his association with African-American authors Richard Wright and Langston Hughes during the time Frank was a journalist in Chicago." "Frank" has since been identified as Frank Marshall Davis, a poet, journalist, and member of Communist Party USA (CPUSA) - which was controlled by the Soviet Union.

Before moving to Hawaii, Davis lived in Chicago, where he was involved with numerous communist groups and causes. The same CPUSA and other communist forces also supported the radical movements in the 1960s, including the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), of which a faction founded the Weatherman organization.

Interestingly, after finishing college, Obama followed in the footsteps of his childhood friend and mentor Davis by moving to Chicago and becoming involved with radical leftist individuals and groups. Furthermore, those very same radical leftist groups helped Obama start his political career. And, even more peculiar is the fact that Obama went from being a barely known state senator to Democratic Party presidential nominee in just four short years!

The Obama campaign has already had its fair share of controversies that spawned from Obama's connections with radical leftist and anti-American figures, including Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and others. In February of 2008, it was reported that a Cuban flag featuring the image of Che Guevara was hanging in an Obama campaign office in Texas. After being questioned about this issue, the Obama campaign issued the following statement:

"The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign."

Finally, to no surprise, Obama has also picked up endorsements from Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.
