Aaron Klein, Jerusalem bureau chief for World Net Daily, writes:
Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign for the Democrat nomination deliberately appealed to white supremacy, fear and anxiety, charged longtime Barack Obama colleague and Weatherman terrorist William Ayers and wife, Bernardine Dohrn.
In a co-authored article in the socialist Monthly Review magazine, the two radicals argued last year’s national elections had “racist” undertones and that President Obama’s ascent to power can be used to “build a new society.”
“[Hillary] Clinton flagrantly appealed to white voters’ identity as ‘workers’ or ‘women’ – offering white people any reason to vote against Obama without saying he’s black – and followed the ancient and dismal road of racial discourse that appeals to white supremacy, fear and anxiety,” wrote Ayers and Dohrn.
The two referenced a New York Times opinion piece by feminist activist Gloria Steinem, “Women are Never Front-Runners,” written on the eve of the New Hampshire primary. Steinem argued the gender barrier had not yet been broken and asked, “Why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one?”
Ayers and Dohrn charged Steinem had asserted a “superior victim status on the part of white, powerful women.”
The duo went on to claim the 2008 presidential elections had racist undertones.
“The invisible race talk was about ‘blue collar’ or ‘working class’ or ‘mainstream’ or ’small town’ or ‘hockey mom’ or ‘Joe the plumber,’ but we were meant to think ‘white,’” they wrote.
Continued Ayers and Dohrn: “All the talk of Senator Barack Obama’s exotic background, all the references to him as ‘unknown, ‘untested,’ a ’stranger,’ or a ’symbolic candidate,’ or ‘alien,’ a ‘wildcard,”‘or an ‘elitist.’ … The discourse was all about race, us and them, understood by everyone in the United States even when the words African American, black or white are not spoken.”
The couple, however, took pride in Obama’s win.
They said Obama’s presidency “calls for us to have to agitate for democracy and egalitarianism, press harder for human rights, link the demands that animate us, and learn to build a new society through our collective self-transformations and our limited everyday struggles.
“We must seek ways to live sustainably; to stop the addiction to consumption and development and military power; to become real actors and authentic subjects in our own history,” they wrote.
The two added, “Now their experience can be put to use mobilizing those same people to insist on the changes they imagined.”
Ayers became a name in last year’s presidential campaign when it was disclosed the radical worked closely with Obama for years.
Ayers, and his wife, Dohrn, were two of the main founders of the Weather Underground, which bombed the New York City Police headquarters in 1970, the Capitol in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972. The group was responsible for some 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S.
Characterizing Weathermen as “an American Red Army,” Ayers summed up the organization’s ideology: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.”
“Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,” Ayers recalled in his 2001 memoir, “Fugitive Days.” “The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.”
Ayers brandished his unrepentant radicalism for years to come, as evidenced by his now notorious 2001 interview with the New York Times, published one day after the 9/11 attacks, in which he stated, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”
Ayers posed for a photograph accompanying the New York Times piece that showed him stepping on an American flag. He said of the U.S.: “What a country. It makes me want to puke.”
Ayers and Dohrn helped launch Obama’s political career with a fundraiser in their home. WND columnist Jack Cashill has produced a series of persuasive arguments that it was Ayers who ghost-wrote Obama’s award-winning autobiography, “Dreams from My Father.”

Yawn. The debunkification/fisking of that nonsene was what, years ago? (sure, a little hyperbole). We’re a klan country/ rednecks/white hoods (though Chucklehead sez we’re a fuzzy wuzzy muzzy nation). And why we, actually elected the first melanin non-challenged person, to the office of Prez (of course the jokes on them, he ain’t even black).
What’s the old mantra re the 70’s …. no one gets out of here alive? Well, some survived. I still admire, and adore Abbie Hoffman. His joyous grand love of country contagious, unignorable.
We’re he still alive … don’t know what he would think of me, or where his heart would lie in the face of today’s world events. Pukes like Dohrn and Ayers however, never actually got it. And never will (cough, spit).
In the pantheon of of negative events and catastrophes that have struck …. the heartland and the shores of this great nation. The fraudulent elevation of this Muslim traitor to the Presidency, will resonate through its entire history.
What the media never reported was that Hillary Clinton’s initial supporters, the people that asked her to run for president, were primarily African American politicians.
If there were accusations of racism to be made, these accusatory idiots should have asked Hillary’s african american supporters about it. By bypassing that african american contingent who encouraged Hillary Clinton to run, those who cried racism were the biggest racists of all.

Hillary is not racist. PERIOD. They should just cut out the lies. Don’t try to change the subject. The truth is Obama is a sell-out and the biggest disappointment in modern election history.
Anti-American scum! Nothing but wealthy, spoiled malcontents who bombed their way to infamy. These self-important poseurs would know all about white privilege as that’s the only explanation for intellectual lightweights and criminals like Ayers and Dohrn to be allowed to teach in academia.
Rich and connected CEO daddy Tommy Ayers bailed them out of all their self inflicted problems and got them their jobs.
Unlike Bill and Hillary who came from blue collar backgrounds, received scholarships and have actually done more for AA than either of those two Manson family rejects.
Someone needs to take up a collection to buy these two a one way ticket to furtherest reaches of the gallaxy.
This crap makes me want to spit. Not only was it BLACK legislators who wanted to Hillary to run, her biggest supporter and most vocal supporter was Stephanie Tubbs-Jones! But I guess that don’t mean anything cause she was killed (I mean died from a whole in the head)!
Incidentally, what dumb fuckers, don’t they know that the biggest losers in the loss of manufacturing jobs (WORKERS) were the African American community, and it’s because of the loss of these jobs which started in the 1970’s their communities went down with them?
I hate these ignorant bastards!
I heard on the radio that in Los Angeles 20 years ago janitorial jobs used to pay 12-13 dollars an hour. But in the past 10-20 years the scale has dropped to something like 3.95 an hour, actually below the minimum wage.
The janitorial jobs allowed for a livable wage and provided for the job holder to send their son or daughter to college. It’s called bootstrapping up the economic chain.
By calling everybody racist who is concerned about immigration, the whole lower end of the pay scale has gone from survivable wages to non existent wages and that too has hurt those who already had a toehold in this country and were going to see their children move up economically as a result of their hard work for a survivable wage.
The people who call others racists for being concerned about uncontrolled immigration are the two people this article spotlights.
Fools their entire lives.
The only candidate and campaign that I remember making race an issue was Obama and his minions.
It would not surprise me one bit to learn that the current and most influential Obama defectors are former Hillary Clinton supporters. In this context, The Ayers/Dohrn article is a way to tar and feather these voices as racists in an effort to reduce their influence among other Democrats.
