The Weather Underground murdered innocent people. Ayers' wife, Bernardine Dohrn, applauded the Manson family for murdering Sharon Tate, a pregnant woman, eating in the same room with the corpse, and sticking a fork in her belly.
I would not associate with these people. Obama does.
The Weather Underground did not murder a single person. 3 of their members were killed when a bomb suddenly went off in one of their headquarters. Use Factchecker.com or whatever you would like they killed no one. They were however a terrorist group and were wrong in their beliefs.
A better question would be............
How man Obama supporters CARE about the Weather Underground?
YOUR problem is that you are concerned for the nation, Obama supporters labor under no such constraint. They want a black President or they want a President who will give them working people's money, well, other people's money, working or not. The Obama supporters want free this and free that, free college education, free lunches, free medical care, and free drugs.
There is also a group of them who simply cannot understand the consequences of their actions and, Obama seems like a nice guy. Duh.
Obama seems to be a "magnet" for these type of anti-American political ties & controversies ...yet his supporters would rather lash out at his detractors rather than try to bring clarity and intelligent debate to the argument.
This is typical behavior of people from all political persuasion who guided by either Hatred, Fear or Obsession.
The Weather Underground has no bearing on Barack Obama's (may peace be upon His head) campaign. Obama is about hope and change. And the future. He knows that the past is what's behind us. And the future is what's ahead. He knows we have to hope for change to a future filled with change and hope.
I've known about the Weather Underground longer than you have been alive. I also know that attempts by the right to associate Obama with it are beyond ridiculous, as is misrepresenting and exaggerating Obama's so called relationship with William Ayers. Stop letting Sean Hannity do your thinking for you..
I am 68 years old and I remember the Weather Underground, do you?... unlike 99 percent of the children on here I lived through those times AND I was actually IN CHICAGO during the Democratic Convention and Riots in 1968... so there is NOTHING you can tell me about the Weather Underground or CORE or the ACLU or the "Chicago 7".. (and I KNEW the Chicago 7 well enough that I kept in touch with Abby Hauffman and had lunch with him in Denver just about a month before he died). BUT the weather underground hasn't been important in 40 years and Obama was just a CHILD in 1968... so this is a stupid and moot point.
You people who didn't LIVE THROUGH those times and were not party to the events, only know what you have been told to know... so you spout off your nonsense as if you knew what you were talking about.
Anyone who lived in Chicago during that era knew someone who was involved in the movement... but THAT DOESN'T MAKE US ALL TERRORISTS... so why do you children insist on judging the past by the present when you DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
Obama supporters only know one thing: "hope & change". If they actually took the time to research Obama's past and present relationships, as well as his intended policies, i.e raising the CGT to 28%, they would no longer be supporters.
There may be more to it or not, but he is and should be put under a microscope as well as any other presidential candidate. But probably more so, since prior to this election most of us never heard of this guy!
