by an Obama Who? contributor;
Lately it has come to people’s attention about the connection between Obama and William Ayers. Obama is trying to play this connection down but it is one of the things most people are talking about. People are appalled that Obama would be in the friendly company of someone like this.
FYI
During a robbery of an armored car, Ayer’s wife went to prison rather than to testify against what their group did. Two policemen and a security guard were killed. One of the officers murdered was the first black officer on the NYACK police force.
Waverly L. Brown(1935-1981) was a Nyack, New York police officer who was killed in the line of duty during an infamous 1981 armed robbery of a Brinks Armored Car, along with fellow Nyack officer Edward O’Grady and Brinks security guard Peter Paige. The event garnered national headlines and led the arrest and imprisonment of several people involved, many of whom were members of the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army.
Prior to his law enforcement career, Brown served in the United States Air Force and participated in the Korean War. In 1966, he became the first African American member of Nyack’s police department[1]. By 1981, he had served with the department for 15 years. Nicknamed “Chipper”, he was well liked by his fellow officers, and often cooked meals for them during his shift[2]
Edward O’Grady II (August 20, 1948 – October 20, 1981) was born in Nyack, New York. After graduating high school, he joined the United States Marine Corps and served two tours of service in the Vietnam War. O’Grady joined the Nyack Police department after his discharge and also worked as a volunteer fire fighter with the Nyack fire department. In 1976, O’Grady was promoted to sergeant, the youngest person in the history of Rockland County, New York to achieve that rank. At the time of his death, he was enrolled at St. Thomas Aquinas College and was close to receiving his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. He was survived by his wife and three children. His son, Edward J. O’Grady III, went on to join the United States Navy, graduating from the United States Naval Academy in 1997.
During the 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored car by members of the Black Liberation Army and Weather Underground, O’Grady was shot several times with an M16. Ninety minutes later, he died on a hospital operating table.

The wife of Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, went to prison rather than to testify as to what she knew about the robbery her cohorts in the Weathermen did.
The group of friends Obama has picked is questionable in itself but this man Ayers is one of the most violent and terrible individuals that Obama could have chosen. Ayers is a terrorist and an unrepented one. In fact, on the day of 9/11 Ayers said that he did not regret bombing the Pentagon and police stations but wished they could have done more. Ayers is a home front terrorist, pure and simple. Obama is friends with him even though the Ayers’ group of the Weathermen killed an Afro American Police officer, the first in his field in Nyack. This police officer was someone who was well liked and in a ground breaking job for black people. They had with no regrets and no remorse for Brown’s murder. This is Obama’s friend? What does this say about Obama?

No way! Obama thinks this is ok that these guys killed an AA? He is friendly with them his campaing mananger says. I get sick every time I see his face and since I went and read the story on these people and how they killed these men and Obama is down to ZERO on my scale. This man is NOT ELECTABLE.

Thanks for laying it on the line, I have also laid it on the line about Obama and his friends in very low places. For an American to vote for Obama after reading this they would have to be brainless. Obama is no better than the people he hangs around with. There is just to many of these friends of Obama and they are mounting up. Vote for anyone except Barack Hussein Obama.

We are finding out more and more about Obama that make his glib front, just more of that, yes he is a great orator, but that is all that he has going for him. America does not need a personable politician that only wants to reduce America to its baseist form, Homer Simpson does that daily on syndicated reruns everyday on American tv. That is not the leadership that America needs during this time of war and the hope of survival against a threat that is real and could end the United States of America as we know it and enjoy it today. Otherwise, there will will be no tommorrow that we would want to continue living in, as we continue on, in todays lifestyle, that we do not want to give up. The populace of the USA does not know any different and it would be a VERY rude awakening if we ever got to that point. However, it seems as if we are going towards that end with the thinking of candidates like Obama. PLEASE wake up America. OK, I’ll even give you, forget George W Bush, he is not running for reelection. Take his actions out of the picture. But electing Obama is a decision that America can not afford to make, and if we do, the ensuing disaster coming is one that the USA might not survive. Today’s Americans have no idea of how to fight, and how to survive. We can only hope that we do, because that is what we will need to do to do to survive the upcoming events that will happen on the US soil, if a weak president (Obama, or even Hill and Bill) is elected. Their lame efforts at “negioating” with a threat that only wants to kill Americans and dominate us and the world, is the worst fate that we can ever hope for. “God help us” will be trumped by “Allah is great” and we will be defeated and the American lifestyle as we know it today will end.

Over and over again I see rally’s with people out there hooting and hollering for this guy and it turns my stomach. Today on Fox news they showed a report that the top people in the Dem party all ready had their candidate, Obama and they said they are trying to block Clinton. They named Dean, Pelosi as two of them who had made their choice for Obama. That is just plain sick. You do not see articles like this one in the main stream and it should be.

I would love to see a report on this on the MSM but that won’t happen. This Obama campaign is out of control horribly. More and more keeps coming up on him and I heard last night they are checking into a report that he was arrested while in collage. It is pretty bad when all pundits are saying he is not electable. I hope over the next ten states she whips the crap out of him and this gets over with before it gets nastier. His supporters have some serious issues if they re attacking people like the reports say they are.

I seen that report this morning as well Daniel I used the link on this site for Howard Dean and gave him hell. That is totally ridiculous. I also read a report where Obama bused in people from other states to make it look like he had 35,000 people at a rally in PA. What a moron. This article made me sick. He can hang out with these people and think nothing of it? Two of my AA friends who read it said they are just sick over this. I agree, this man is not electable and I told Howard Dean all about it this morning too.

This really is a disturbing bit of information and I also agree, Obama is not electable. If this terrorist associate gets into office god help us all! Those who continue to support someone like this is too blind to see the truth behind these connections and would deny it as a false claim! If Obama takes away our second ammendment rights, that would take away our right in the first place to defend ourselves from any terrorist attack, and if he wouldn’t allow military intervention and would only attempt to negotiate, there may just be something worse behing all this. I want a further investigation and deeper information on this. This candidate may very well be coming toward putting America at its worst time ever and it sickens me at the very thought of such corruption!
