Obama's virtue... (Prairie Fire also)

[Michael Stuart Kelly]

Speaking on the stump in Sarasota, Florida, on October 30, 2008, Obama said the following about McCain and Palin:

You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.

I got the quote here.

It just gets worser and worser...

Michael; This quote was mentioned on Instapundit.

Somebody should tell Obama Atlas will shrug after his election.

Worse is what was on the news yesterday. Sean Hannity located a book on education written by Obama's friend Bill Ayers; he held it up so that the viewers could see it for themselves. It was dedicated to a long list of "political prisoners." One of them was Sirhan Sirhan, the murderer of Robert Kennedy.

Obama represents -- and with the devoted help of a Far Left Congress will work to bring about -- the exact opposite of every libertarian and Objectivist principle and ideal. He represents the appeasemet of evil; he represents class warfare and censorship and the end of the secret ballot; he represents regulations and regimentation and the confiscation of wealth. He represents tyranny.

It is essential to stop this most un-American candidate for the presidency. It is essential to vote against Obama, and the only way to do that is to cast one's ballot for McCain. A vote for anyone else is a vote thrown away.

Well, I voted for McCain yesterday. My vote is valuable because I live in Arizona, which has apparently become somewhat doubtful for McCain.

Barbara,

It is a book written in 1974 by Bill Ayers and his now wife Bernadine Dohrn. The title is Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism.

Here is what is on Wikipedia: Prairie Fire.

Prairie Fire

The Weather Underground’s ideology changed direction in the early 1970’s. With help from former Progressive Labor member, Clayton Van Lydegraf, the Weather Underground sought a more Marxist-Leninist approach. The leading members of the Weather Underground collaborated on ideas and published their manifesto: "Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism."[6] By the summer of 1974, five thousand copies had surfaced in coffee houses and bookstores across America. Leftist newspapers praised the manifesto.[29] Abbie Hoffman publicly praised Prairie Fire and believed every American should be given a copy.[30] The manifesto’s influence initiated the formation of the 'Prairie Fire Organizing Committee' in several American cities. Hundreds of above-ground activists helped further the new political vision of the Weather Underground.[29] In the late 1970s, the Weatherman group further split into two factions — the "May 19 Coalition" and the "Prairie Fire Collective" — with Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers in the latter. The Prairie Fire Collective favored coming out of hiding, with members facing the criminal charges against them, while the May 19 Coalition continued in hiding. A decisive factor in Dohrn's coming out of hiding were her concerns about her children[citation needed]. The Prairie Fire Collective started to surrender to the authorities from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. The remaining Weatherman Underground members continued to violently attack US institutions.

Prairie Fire Collective???

Cute...

btw - Aren't the Kennedy people endorsing Obama?

I wonder how they feel about Obama consorting with a person who enshrines the murderer of one of their most famous family members.

Here is a small ray of hope.

This news apparently hit home with Hillary Clinton supporters if a Hillary forum is any indication. See this thread on hillaryclintonforum.net: (Oct. 30, 08) As reported on FOX News, Ayers dedicated older book to Sirhan Sirhan, man who killed RFK. They are appalled and one is even calling for Obama to step down.

If anyone is interested in some photos of Prairie Fire with legible excerpts, there is another thread on that forum (now closed for posting, but open for viewing): **** PHOTOS **** PRAIRIE FIRE The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism: Political Statement of the Weather Underground **** Bill Ayers is a Communist ***.

Here is the zombietime.com article of October 22, 2008 giving a whole slew of links and facts. It is admittedly biased, but all the facts are in one place for everyone to see.

William Ayers' forgotten communist manifesto: Prairie Fire

A scan of the dedication page where Sirhan Sirhan's name appears is about halfway down the page (it's a long scroll). Incidentally, here is a video reported on that page that I found interesting, since it shows the philosophical influence of Ayers on Obama, with side-by-side video references:
