Barack Hussein Obama's Terrorist Buddies

You may remember William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Shortly after 9/11, if I'm remembering right, the NYT did a puff piece about these former Weather Underground terrorists -- bomb-planters -- who were now university professors (shocker, huh) and utterly unrepentant over their terrorist past.

“I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough,” Ayers told the New York Times in 2001.

Turns out they helped launch Obama's political career and the three are the bestest of friends.

Even lefty blogger Taylor Marsh is troubled:

This is the vein in the Democratic party I will never understand, cannot accept on any level. What is it about some people who just don’t get the problems with our Democratic nominee being friendly, even taking a contribution (however small), as well as having a meeting as recently as 1995 with an unrepentant domestic terrorist like William Ayers? It reveals a lack of seriousness about the issue of terrorism and the dangerously immature judgment of anyone who is going to associate with a man, at the very least, that Republicans will use to beat us over the head with, having the bonus of hitting a spot the public loves to drink up, which is that our party is not serious about the dangers we face in this world.

What it further reveals is that Barack Hussein Obama doesn't find a bit of terrorism and bombing morally objectionable, so long as the folks doing the terrorizing and bombing have the right pseudointellectual credentials and establishment-approved list of grievances.

A lot of Al Qaeda fits that description, as it turns out.

Allah:

[H]ere’s an intellectual exercise for you[:] As you read, substitute McCain and, say, Eric Rudolph for Obama and Ayres and see if you think you’ve got a story the media might take some interest in.

Let me ask everyone a question: A man brutally murders his wife. Fifteen years pass, and now he's paroled.

He invites you to a party to discuss business possibilities with you. He does have money, and he could actually offer you some decent opportunities.

Do you go? Or do you not even dignify this murderer with a "no"?

For some reason, the hard left -- of which Barack Hussein Obama appears increasingly to be a part -- feels that there is some distinction between a terrorist and a murderer, and while the murderer perhaps should be socially ostracized, one can still do business with, and pal around with, the terrorist.

Why they believe this is a question no one in the MSM has bothered to ask them.

I imagine the answer provided -- were the question ever to actually be asked -- would be as illuminating as it is chilling.
