The late 60’s was an era of radicalism fueled by LSD the drug. Simple. When I was little the radicals were against the Vietnam War for one thing. There were massive anti-war protests all over the country by hippies everywhere. This guy Ayers was part of all that. Over at NO QUARTER “Uppity Woman” is unpacking Ayer’s Weather Underground historically in a funny romp through history for those who don’t know. He’s one of Obamas pals in present day.

Uppity remembers. You’d have to be in your early to late 60’s to know who these people are. Those were times of massive social unrest across the whole country, truly.

Here is the Wikipedia on The Weathermen…

And here is Uppity on them over at No Quarter…

Uppity Woman is writing to all the lil youngsters who weren’t born yet! All you have to do is revisit some Jimi Hendrix music or some Janis Joplin and you can get the “taste” of that period. The thing is history marched on, didn’t it? All that social unrest died down and the Vietnam War ended. Half or more of those people died, just like Jimi did. Or Janis.

Well, right now we are in another war that a lot of people would like to see end. We just don’t have the social unrest of those days past do we? Unless of course, it is still alive someplace…

Now, it turns out Obama is linked to Ayers and that is why Hillary Clinton brought that up. It makes you wonder what his agenda is, doesn’t it? I mean, all he has talked about is trying to find his identity. Well, is he a faux Black Panther? The Panthers were around at the same time as the Weathermen. His wife’s thesis at Princeton has those overtones to it, regarding her “Blackness.”

His pastor Jeremiah Wright’s sermons have that same tenor, too.

But that thesis was written in the 80’s.

People went corporate in the 80’s. Frankly the economics killed the era of all those wild activists, huh? Or did it? Now most of these people are getting hip-replacements or something by now aren’t they? You’d practically have to ask your grandparents about those “activist” times in America. For the most part, I think those people have gone on to open vineyards or make artisanal cheese and stuff.

Or maybe? Maybe there is still an underground that a lot of Democrats aren’t aware of, no?

Maybe it’s a big fundraising underground full of old radicals who thought they could get behind a candidate who could be easily manipulated. It seems like that.

The funny thing about Obama is that he seems to use all these independent little groups to amass funds, except, the principles of those groups aren’t taken into account. For instance isn’t Code Pink an anti-war group? Well, he has connections to war manufacturers.

Or how about OIL? Environmentalists are against that. But he gets funding from it. Bigtime.

It’s definitely at cross purposes. But you’d never know that would you, if you were just sitting at your little computer peering at his logo. It’s like okay, Obama, you want to be a Black Panther? You’ll take the Panther’s dollars. You’ll let the Panther’s promote you won’t you? But you don’t want to really even be a Panther. You don’t act like the real Black Panthers did.

Glen Ford has something up over at Black Agenda Report regarding Tavis Smiley.

You never even showed up, did you? For Tavis’s event. Who is the sellout in this case? It’s not Tavis is it? The thing is, all your “supporters” can’t get lumped into the same big pot can they? You thought so, but no. You aren’t uniting anyone, what you are doing is dividing. Just so you can get all your funds, huh?

How are you going to put the most radical of the Panthers together with your rich San Fran friends?

It just doesn’t compute, does it? It might have worked in the 60’s when everyone was anti-capitalism and anti-money. But not now. You took the money didn’t you? So you could get that big Chicago house. You didn’t care what Rezko was doing with those slums did you? Hell, who was living there?

Poor Black people? We saw the film Flineo did in Youtube. Here it is again…

After watching that film, it’s easy to see why so many people have a problem with you. What I can’t understand is why you turn your back on the poor in Chicago. I thought you were helping them, and so did America. You turned your back on Tavis. Your church still spells America with a K. Or three K’s. In the 60’s it was Amerika, right? Now you call it “Amerikkka” along with your pastor. Twenty years of association and you turned on him too, didn’t you?

Well, you have some explaining to do to Labor too, in this country. Because of what you voted for. You got yourself all that money for your campaign from them. But, the thing you voted for? You planned to hurt every worker in this country didn’t you? What about that, Obama? Anyone who wants to find out about that thing you signed just has to read this…”Follow the Money“

You know Obama, it’s important to follow the money with you, especially when it comes to the FEC, isn’t it? You appear to be the biggest user who came down the pike to a lot of people. You say one thing in your speeches, but you do another behind the scenes. It’s like it’s whatever works for YOU in the moment — you use that. Don’t you?

Up in Canada they don’t seem to have the same media problems America has with talking about you — for instance there is this piece “The Real Obama Story Exposed“

Interesting to see what they know, isn’t it? Especially about your politics.

Now, some of your “radical” friends have very interesting ties, don’t they? Like these are some of “your people” huh? Their names keep coming up alongside yours. Like these people, or this guy…

These commentators seem to know all about some more of your ties to things…over at “The Daily Herald” and check this one out…one of your biggest backers is called a “Threat to Democracy“

The names just keep popping up all around you. But just like with your pastor Reverend White, how are you going to brush all this off? All these associations? All the money?

This stuff is all just to weird for ordinary Americans to understand. And for somebody trying to be President here? You seemed to be involved with too many things that just don’t add up.

It’s all kind of anti-American in a way that is hard to put a finger on. Canada probably will though.

Or maybe the press is holding off on “outing” you till later. If you manage to sweep Hillary aside?

Based on your alliances? McCain will be a better choice for the Average American Voter.

Ummm, I highly doubt that Hillary Clinton supporters will ever vote for you, Obama. EVER.

You already have screwed with too many REAL DEMOCRATS in this country. That’s a fact.
