Ayers book Fugitive Days, not so hot on Amazon

Well it didn't take long after the election for old William Ayers to show up in the media. Good Morning America interviewed Ayers this morning and somewhat promoted his book "Fugitive Days: A Memoir".

The book was published in 2001 around September 11th and describes events in his life up through his days in the domestic terror group, the Weather Underground. I looked it up on Amazon and "looked inside". The first words in the book are "Memory is a MotherF****r". Nice Bill, that's another thing you and Obama have in common.

That is about as much I will read of his book. I did look at the reviews and they were all horrible. It's something like 15 (5) stars to 65 (1) star with very few in between. You gotta figure if you write a book, you will have 10-15 friends give you some good ratings on Amazon so that's probably how the book received 15 (5) star ratings. Other than that people pretty much blast his book. Not so good for such a distinguished writer huh?

Does Obama have a copy of Ayers Prairie Fire?

In 1974 the book Prairie Fire was published as the manifesto of the domestic terrorist organization The Weather Underground, headed by Bill Ayers.

Prairie Fire, which stands for The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism, had four authors including Ayers. In the book he states;

"We need a revolutionary communist party in order to lead the struggle, give coherence and direction to the fight, seize power and build a new society"

Ok, so he's communist. Just a few years ago in a recent interview he still admits he's a Marxist and anarchist.

We all know Obama says, "he's just a guy down the street". We also know it goes much deeper than that of which I will not cover here.

One thing however Obama should have a problem with is one of the dedications in Ayers book. At the end of Prairie Fire there are numerous dedications to various radials but one in particular should catch Democrats eyes, Sirhan Sirhan.

Sirhan Sirhan is the convicted assassin of Senator Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968. Democrats can overlook the Rev. Wright, Tony Rezco, and some of Ayers issues, but the fact one of their own was killed by someone who was hailed by Ayers should cross the line.

I assume Senator Barack Obama will have nothing to say and avoid the issue at all costs but I think deep down Democrats are wondering what they have got themselves in to.

Wouldn't you like to take a look and see what's on Sen Obama's bookshelf?

Remember Mission Accomplished?

Remember the image of President Bush on the aircraft carrier early in the Iraq war?

Is this the image we have to look forward to if Sen Barack Obama is elected?

Former Terrorists? - Please explain

The term "former terrorist" is getting thrown around a lot these days. Much of it has to do with the Barack Obama and William "Bill" Ayers connection.

I wonder though; how do you go from being a terrorist to a former terrorist? Is there an application you fill out? Are you forgiven after so many years? 

I always thought, "once a terrorist always a terrorist" but I guess I was wrong.

Maybe given the certain political "situation" it's the politically correct thing to say. We certainly wouldn't want to offend anyone who's bombed the Capital, Pentagon, and killed policemen. 

If anyone knows the process for becoming a former terrorist please comment!
