In Dick Morris’s column today about Obama-Ayers, he neglected to mention one dead body plus a few other important details. There is only so much room in one column and Morris, obviously, was making a bigger point. But just for drill, let’s take the crime Morris mentioned in passing and find out a little more. It’ll give you some idea how much the American press has studiously ignored, how malevolent Barack Obama’s friends really are, and why Obama is so deeply terrified the public may learn more about his long association with William [Bill] Ayers.Morris writes:
Barack Obama should have run screaming at the sight of William Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn. Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol building and the Pentagon, and his wife was sent to prison for failing to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink’s armored car in which two police officers were killed.

But there is quite a bit more to this crime. John Kass of the Chicago Tribune wrote about it in a piece titled “Broadway Baby” back in April of this year. Brenda Kilianski, also of the Chicago Trib, has written beautifully and at length about it. Here is my short version of some key details Morris left out:
To begin with, Morris refers to a 1981 Brinks robbery in Rockland County, New York.
The crime was a joint operation of The Weather Underground and The Black Liberation Army (nice bit of ebony & ivory terrorist teamwork there).
The robbery went sideways and three people were killed — two police officers and one security guard. Just out of common courtesy to the nine children orphaned as a result, let’s give the dead bodies names:
Peter Paige (security guard)
Edward O’Grady (Nyack police officer)
Waverly Brown (Nyack’s first black police officer)
Another chilling part of the story leaves no doubt that the female half of Ayers & Dohrn is equally sociopathic, radical, and committed to “the cause” as is her miscreant husband.
Bernardine Dohrn’s role in the 1981 Brinks robbery involved stealing the identities of two customers who shopped in the New York store Dohrn managed at the time — a store named Broadway Baby. The stolen identities were used by Ayers & Dohrn’s terrorist friends to secure rental vehicles used to commit the Brinks crime. Investigators knew Dohrn stole the I.D.s but apparently could not prove it to a sufficient degree.
Dohrn refused to cooperate and was sent to prison for 7 months on obstruction, in an attempt to make her talk. She never did. Tough gal. Another part of the story is fascinating in a bizarre Bonnie & Clyde sort of way. And to me it perfectly illustrates the malevolent, extended influence of William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn. Talk about sins of the parents.
As I mentioned, two of the terrorists convicted in the 1981 Brinks crime were close friends of Ayers & Dohrn. Their names are Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert. (Gilbert is serving 75 to life; Boudin was paroled in 2003.) This couple had a baby son named Chesa Boudin. When Chesa’s parents were convicted, Ayers & Dohrn adopted Chesa out of the goodness of their black hearts, to ensure that the boy would have a properly radical upbringing. And boy, did they succeed.
Today Chesa is about 28 years old and he’s a chip off the old block — of [four] sociopathic radical parents that is, two biological and two adoptive. Oh and Grandpa Boudin was also quite a character — a secret Communist Party strategist who masqueraded as a civil rights lawyer and who was a go-to guy for the old Soviet Union and Cuba, among other hostile nations.
Naturally, with a pedigree like this, Chesa obtained a Rhodes scholarship. He seems fixated on Bolivia and Venezuela and in 2005 Chesa “worked as an intern on President [Hugo] Chávez’s foreign policy team, doing research for a master’s degree in Latin American public policy at Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship.”
Chesa co-authored a book about the Venezuelan revolution in 2006. You’ll be shocked to learn it takes an extremely leftist, anti-Bush, anti-American point of view.
Here’s a fairly recent photo of Chesa:
You might wonder how Chesa feels about his four parents and whether he harbors any animosity or doubts about their deeds and beliefs. Not to worry. Chesa managed to soar above all the family baggage and stake out a completely independent world view. As quoted in Salon in 2001 Chesa said:
“We have a different name for the war we’re fighting now—now we call it the war on terrorism, then they called it the war on communism. My parents were all dedicated to fighting U.S. imperialism around the world. I’m dedicated to the same thing.”
And this from a NY Times article:
Chesa refuses to apologize for the tactics of the Weather Underground. “The historical moment we find ourselves in determines what is most appropriate for social change…I’m sad that my parents [his biological parents, Boudin and Gilbert] have to suffer what they have to suffer on a daily basis, that millions of other people have to suffer as well.”
By now the destructive legacy of William Ayers should be dawning on you. Chesa is only one example. But how many hundreds of thousands of other kids have been indoctrinated with the same insidious ideas and attitudes? Ayers is a teacher of teachers. Ayers was, is, and always will be dedicated to spreading his poisonous ideology of “social justice” and other Marxist and marxist-lite ideas to successive generations of Americans, through public education.
And Ayers is the man who handpicked Barack Obama to help him distribute $50 million, then another $60 million to fund this exact type of brainwashing. How much more will the dynamic duo of Billy & Barack be able to accomplish from the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, with the willing assistance of a radical leftist-dominated congress?
There is yet more but I’m out of time and energy. All of the info above was gleaned from the following articles, in no particular order:
