“Is now the time to remind everyone,” emails KP, “that Obama’s babysitters Ayers and Dohrn dedicated their communist manifesto to Robert Kennedy’s assassin, amongst others?”Even this columnist at The Nation didn't buy Ayer's excuses for the dedication:
It's hard to imagine anyone now applauding the Manson murders, as Dohrn notoriously did in l969, or dedicating a manifesto to, among others, Sirhan Sirhan. But just because it's ancient history doesn't mean you get to rewrite it to make yourself look good, just another idealistic young person upset about the war and racism.For more background, see Bill Ayers Dedicated His 1974 Book to RFK's Assassin.

I am old enough to remember hearing about:
ReplyDelete1. the assassination of JFK
2. the assassination of Robert Kennedy
3. the terrorism of the Weathermen
4. the kidnap of Patty Hearst by the SLA
So the Weathermen applauded the assassination of Robert Kennedy? Interesting.... and just think that Ayers and Dorhn have a lot of influence over the White House today....
I forgot to mention that I vividly remember the Manson murders and that Sharon Tate was very pregnant... what they did to her was not very nice at all... and Bernadine Dohrn applauded what happened.... say no more about those who influence POTUS
ReplyDeleteI was an adult during the whole sordid 60s thing, and I vividly remember it all.
ReplyDeleteIn the 60s/70s, the entire McGovernite (socialist/communist) wing of the Democrat party hated John and Robert Kennedy. Sirhan was a communist promoting the destruction of Israel and its occupation by Palestinians. Oswald, another communist, was a Castro supporter. Whether or not they were McGovernite Democrats, too, I don't know, but the whole American left was complicit in the Kennedy murders.
Among Ted Kennedy's many sins is that he pissed on his martyred brothers' graves and embraced their enemies--the McGovernites.
