RUSH: “Who\u2019s Bill Ayers?” It\u2019s a good question. People may not know who Bill Ayers is. Bill Ayers is a resident of Chicago. Bill Ayers is widely thought to have introduced Barack Obama to the powers that be in Chicago that enabled his political career to begin. Such introductions, parties, took place at Bill Ayers\u2019 house, which was in Obama\u2019s neighborhood.<\/p>\n

I think Ayers and his wife babysat the Obama crumb crunchers. Bill Ayers\u2019 one-time girlfriend, Diana Oughton, “and one other member in the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, while constructing anti-personnel bombs intended for a non-commissioned officer dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.” “[I]n 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket affair,” dedicated to police casualties. Bill Ayers in 1969 was part of the sixties generation that hated the cops, called \u2019em pigs.<\/p>\n

Bill Ayers celebrated, memorialized efforts to kill cops and actually planted a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties. “[T]he blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway.” “Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Department headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972…” “Some media reports and political critics have suggested that Ayers, Dohrn or the Weathermen were connected to the fatal 1970 San Francisco Police Department Park Station bombing …”<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why I say Bill Ayers got his start this way. Bill Ayers now is a leading figure in American education, textbook design, creation, authorship. Bill Ayers. In fact, I have a story in the Stack today about Ayers saying America\u2019s days are over — and that\u2019s good! My only point is that it\u2019s yesterday\u2019s terrorists who are today\u2019s heroes to the left — and got their start exactly this way, exactly this way as happened in Boston on Monday.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the quest continues to find out just what happened in Boston at the marathon, who did it — and, of course, the ever-present, “Why did they do it?” Now, I mentioned earlier in the program in the first hour that this is how Bill Ayers got his start. This is how Bernardine Dohrn got her start. Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn are now accredited educators in America. They occupy lofty positions at universities, think tanks, and so forth. Bill Ayers blew up the Pentagon and police departments in New York City.<\/p>\n

Kathy Boudin (I\u2019m not sure how she pronounces it) is a professor at Columbia University. She\u2019s a terrorist who has killed a person. I\u2019m not kidding. She\u2019s a faculty member at Columbia, an adjunct professor or some such thing. So whoever did this might someday be teaching your kids on a major American University College campus. I have a story here. “Bill Ayers to University Students: America\u2019s ‘Game Is Over\u2019 and ‘Another World\u2019 Is Coming —<\/p>\n

“Bill Ayers spoke at the University of Oregon last week on the subject of teaching and organizing for ‘social justice.\u2019 His speech was not free of the radical sentiments he is well-known for espousing (especially in the company of America\u2019s youth). Case in point: He spoke of the end of America, a new world, and what our role ought to be in all of it. Almost as interesting as Ayers\u2019 speech itself, perhaps, was how the leftist radical was introduced by the university students.<\/p>\n

“One girl, who described herself as a doctoral student at the university, spoke of the privilege they would have with their honored guest, in an ‘evening [of] radical imagination.\u2019 Two others, an associate professor at the university and a graduate student, remarked: ‘Most of us have in one way or another acknowledged the sovereign authority of the US government — or the state of Oregon — in order to be here tonight, either admission to the university, applying for a job, or just paying the parking meter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“‘We have not, however, asked permission of the (Native Americans) whose ancestral home this is, and to fail to acknowledge that this remains disputed territory would in effect be taking sides, (and) reinforce the erasure of indigenous history and indigenous peoples.'” Do you want me to read this to you again? This is an associate professor at the university and a graduate student talking about the privilege of having a terrorist — Bill Ayers, who got his start doing what happened in Boston on Monday — speak to them.<\/p>\n

“Most of us have in one way or another acknowledged the sovereign authority of the US government — or the state of Oregon — in order to be here tonight, either admission to the university, applying for a job, or just paying the parking meter. We have not, however, asked permission of the (Native Americans) whose ancestral home this is,” meaning the land the university is on, “and to fail to acknowledge that this remains disputed territory would in effect be taking sides, (and) reinforce the erasure of indigenous history and indigenous peoples.”<\/p>\n

So these people are sitting there fretting and wringing their hands that, while they\u2019re at the University of Oregon and in the company of Bill Ayers, they\u2019re also occupying land that isn\u2019t theirs. It\u2019s the Native Americans\u2019 land, and it was taken away from them, and they feel guilty about it because they are there. They have therefore erased indigenous history and erased indigenous peoples, and they\u2019re feeling guilty over the fact that they\u2019re at the University of Oregon in the state of Oregon.<\/p>\n

Because it wouldn\u2019t be there had the Indians not been dispatched. “When Ayers spoke, it was largely of how the ‘American Empire\u2019 is over, and what this means for her citizens (though there was a fair amount of ‘the wasteful American\u2019 theme throughout as well): ‘The great challenge for our generation [is] to find a way not just to live differently as individuals, but to find a way to think differently about what work means, to think differently about citizenship means, to think differently about what it means to be a “citizen of the world.”<\/p>\n

“‘One of the great dangers that we live in right now, is I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any question, and I don\u2019t think any of you would question, that the American Empire is in decline — that economically, and politically, and in some ways culturally, that we are in decline.'” The difference is, he is happy about it. Bill Ayers is happy about that. That\u2019s what he\u2019s been working toward. One of his best friends is Barack Obama, and I agree with him. We are living in a decaying country. We are living in a dying country.<\/p>\n

The difference is, I cry about it.<\/p>\n

The difference is, I cringe deeply over it.<\/p>\n

Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and these students think it\u2019s a good thing that America is in decline. But then Ayers said despite all this, “[T]he United States remains the most powerful, weaponized military system the Earth has ever known.” He\u2019s not happy about that. So while we may be in decline, we still have a lot of decline left to effect. We still have a lot we have to destroy. Ayers said that this decline while still being “the most powerful, weaponized military system the Earth has ever known,” is “a treacherous combination.<\/p>\n

“A declining economic power, and an expanding military power. And we are going to have to find ways to re-imagine what it means to live in this coun– in this world. And here we are 4% of the world\u2019s population, 4.5% of the world\u2019s population, consuming vast amounts of natural resources, consuming vast amounts of finished goods, and no politician will say that the empire is declining and that the game is over. Well, it\u2019s over. Now what?” So here comes this nonsense again rooted in guilt.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re 4% of the population. We are using 25% of the world\u2019s resources. That makes us guilty and evil. That makes us thieves, you see? We\u2019re stealing, we\u2019re purloining, we\u2019re commandeering, we\u2019re conquering, we\u2019re taking everything from everybody and we\u2019re making the rest of the world poor while we\u2019re enriching ourselves! Now we\u2019re paying the price because we\u2019re in decline, but our military\u2019s getting bigger, and we gotta rethink this. Whoever blew up the Boston Marathon may as well be Ayers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exactly how Ayers got his start.<\/p>\n

Today, Bill Ayers — who did the same thing as happened yesterday in Boston — is a celebrated figure on college campi, a celebrated figure in “the American academy.” For those of you in Rio Linda, that means the universities, where there is supposedly intellectual inquiry going on. There\u2019s no intellectual inquiry going on. There is propagandizing going on, and worse. So there you have it.<\/p>\n

“[W]hat does Bill Ayers see for our future? ‘And that means, for me that means, that it\u2019s our responsibility to fight here and now for a little more democracy, a little more participation, a little more peace, and keep putting our shoulder on that wheel because the opposition is fighting for — you know, another world is definitely coming, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s going to be a better world, and it\u00c2\u2019s our responsibility to jump in.'”<\/p>\n

So this former terrorist, and now expert at education and corrupting America\u2019s youth, shows up on a college campus to decry America, to rip America, to say America\u2019s bad. We\u2019re in decline and that\u2019s good. We deserve to be in decline. But our military is getting too big. It\u2019s a new world. We need to find out how we\u2019re gonna be citizens of it, because we\u2019re no longer really gonna be satisfied to be Americans, \u2019cause America\u2019s in decline.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what\u2019s celebrated today on the American left. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I don\u2019t want to make too big a deal out of this. Bill Ayers didn\u2019t blow up the Boston Marathon, but somebody like him did. Somebody like him did, and that could mean that whoever did this could someday be celebrated in this country if things don\u2019t change. Whoever did it could end up being on the faculty at Columbia University. Just last week Bill Ayers finally confirmed what Obama has always denied. Obama has denied knowing Ayers other than as some casual acquaintance from the neighborhood. <\/p>\n

Bill Ayers confirmed what Obama has denied, that Ayers held a fundraiser in his living room for Obama. It was in an interview last week with The Daily Beast. Ayers recalled the fundraiser: “We were friendly, that was true; we served on a couple of boards together, that was true; he held a fundraiser in our living room, that was true.” It was all true, everything that was said about Obama and Ayers back in 2008 that was denied is all true, and Ayers has now admitted it, because what\u2019s to lose? America\u2019s finally in decline, everybody\u2019s getting what they want, nobody can do anything to Obama now, so what the hell, why not admit it? And Ayers did. <\/p>\n

By the way, Ayers was awarded visiting scholar status at Minnesota State University just last month. “School officials at Minnesota State University Moorhead have selected left-wing radical and admitted terrorist Bill Ayers as the 2013 College of Education and Human Services ‘visiting scholar.\u2019 … Professor Steve Grineski, who helped select Ayers for the award, said, ‘He\u2019s somebody who\u2019s written a lot through his teaching in the area of social justice,'” which, “social justice” is plain BS. It\u2019s just code lingo for advancing socialism, pure and simple. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
