The Obama campaign is very sensitive about the prior association of Barack Obama and the unrepentant-domestic-terrorist William (Bill) Ayers. They claim that there never was one, regardless of the facts that Obama and Ayers served on the same institutional boards, lived near each other, Obama’s political coming out party was held in the Ayers’ living room, etc. Obama’s own statement on Ayers is that he was only 8-years old when Ayers and the Weather Underground was bombing the Pentagon and the Capitol, and that he was unaware of Ayers radical past when he did actually meet him.

The Obama campaign also won’t comment on Barack’s years at Columbia University. In fact, that period of time in Barack’s life is a black hole information wise. Zombie put together the rationale that while Barack was only 8-years old when Ayers and the Weather Underground started their terror spree, he, Barack, was 20-years old when they made their final attacks. And it gets better because Barack and Ayers were both living in NY at that time. This was enough of a coincidence, combined with the dearth of public information on Obama’s Columbia years, that Zombie decided to go looking — to see just what could be found — to see if there is any evidence out there that would link Obama to the WU’s activities. Hitting brick wall after brick wall, he puts together enough pieces to at least strongly suggest that when Barack Obama makes the statement that until recently he didn’t know anything about Bill Ayers past, he’s lyin’ through his teeth.

Barack Obama would have you believe that the bombings by the radical domestic terrorists known as The Weather Underground were something that happened “when I was eight years old” and with which he had absolutely no connection. And while it is true that their bombings started when Obama was eight years old, they actually continued until he was twenty years old. And, incredibly, the life of Barack Obama and the terror campaign of the Weather Underground nearly intersected on the evening of September 26, 1981 at an anti-Apartheid protest which turned violent at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.

I’m tempted to say they may have intersected, rather than just “nearly.” But I don’t know for sure.

What I do know is that Obama had the same political interests as the final remnants of the Weather Underground at the exact same time in the exact same place. That he was living in the same city where and when they conducted their second-to-last terror attack, which was a protest against the Apartheid polices of South Africa — the very topic to which Obama has said he was devoted at that time. So because of all this, Obama must have known about the Weather Underground and their tactics while he was still in college. So when he met Weather Underground founder William Ayers 13 years later, Obama certainly had to have known exactly who Ayers was and what he had done.

If you only have time to read one thing today, read the entire post. Especially if you still don’t know for whom you are voting. If Obama has nothing to hide about his years spent at Columbia, why won’t his campaign release any information about them? If Obama is supposed to be such a smart man, why does he insist that despite common political interests, despite two times in his life living in close proximity with Bill Ayers that until most recently he didn’t know that Ayers had been a domestic terrorist, that “he was just someone living in the neighborhood”? Given that statement and Zombie’s research, Barack Obama is either a brazen liar or an imbecile. He doesn’t come off as imbecilic to me, so that leaves us option number one. I’ll let Zombie’s words wrap this up:

Just below two photos Zombie writes:

On the left: Barack Obama in New York ca. 1982. On the right: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in New York in 1982. Had their lives just overlapped?

They were in the same city as each other, at the same time.
They lived near each other.
The went to school near each other.
They had the same political interests.
Their circles of friends and associates intersected.

By sheer coincidence, a decade later in Chicago, they were in the same city as each other, at the same time; they lived near each other; they had the same political interests; their circles of friends and associates intersected.

Or was it not a coincidence at all?
