This clip from the 1982 documentary No Place to Hide is chilling.
Larry Grathwohl became a member of the Weather Underground organization as an undercover operative for law enforcement agencies in Cincinnati. His role was to carry directives from the Central Committee to the operating units in the field.
Transcript of the Grathwohl interview
GRATHWOHL: I brought up the subject of what's going to happen after we take over the government. You know, we become responsible for administrating, you know, 250 million people. And there was no answers. No one had given any thought to economics. How are you going to clothe and feed these people?
The only thing that I could get was that they expected that the Cubans, the North Vietnamese, the Chinese and the Russians would all want to occupy different portions of the United States.
They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called the counter-revolution. And they felt that this counter-revolution could best be guarded against by creating and establishing re-education centers in the Southwest where we would take all of the people who needed to be re‑educated into the new way of thinking and teach them how things were going to be.
I asked, "Well, what is going to happen to those people that we can't re‑educate, that are die-hard capitalists?"
And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated and when I pursued this further, they estimated that they'd have to eliminate 25 million people in these re‑education centers.
And when I say eliminate, I mean kill 25 million people.
I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of whom have graduate degrees from Columbia and other well-known educational centers and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people and they were dead serious.
It's shocking.
What's also shocking is that thousands have signed their names to a statement in support of Bill Ayers.
In their appeal for signatures, "friends and supporters of Bill Ayers" write:
It seems that the character assassination and slander of Bill Ayers and other people who have known Obama is not about to let up. While an important concern is the dishonesty of this campaign and the slanderous McCarthyism they are using to attack Obama, we also feel an obligation to support our friend and colleague Bill Ayers. Many, many educators have reached out, asking what they could do, seeking a way to weigh in against fear and intimidation. Many of us have been talking and we agree that this one gesture, a joint statement signed by hundreds of hard-working educators, would be a great first step. Such a statement may be distributed through press releases or ads in the future.
"Character assassination and slander"?
Ayers damns himself with his own words.
Ayers declared war on our country, on his country.
If people fear him because of what he did in the past and the sort of beliefs he still holds, they have that right.
Who is intimidating Bill Ayers?
Americans are being educated on the activities of Ayers and the Weather Underground. Their eyes are being opened to the Leftist radicalism of some educators in our universities.
How is it intimidating to tell the truth about him?
Ayers has to live with the consequences of his actions. We all do.
He declared war on the United States. After his group took over the U.S. government, they planned to have re-education centers, to get the masses to abandon capitalism. Ayers' organization estimated that 25 million Americans would resist this re-education and they'd have to be eliminated.
They discussed KILLING 25 million Americans.
That's genocide.
Are we really supposed to hear this sort of stuff and just dismiss it?
It's amazing that educators are choosing to support Ayers.
"Character assassination"?
The Weather Underground considered slaughtering 25 million Americans.
Barack Obama talks tough when it comes to Osama bin Laden and fighting Islamic extremism.
"We cannot tolerate a terrorist sanctuary, and as president, I will not," Sen. Barack Obama said in May. "We must make it clear that if Pakistan cannot or will not act, we will take out high-level terrorist targets like bin Laden if we have them in our sights."
Obama makes no bones about it - if he gets a shot at bin Laden, he will take it - with or without Pakistani permission.
..."As Commander in Chief, I will have no greater priority than taking out these terrorists that threaten America, and finishing the job against the Taliban. That's why I've called for at least two additional U.S. combat brigades," Obama said.
I have trouble believing him. Why should I believe that Obama would take out bin Laden when he won't stand up to Bill Ayers?
To Bill Ayers, America is the enemy, yet Obama makes up excuses for Ayers and himself.
Obama thinks Ayers has "rehabilitated," and anyway, Obama was a just kid when Ayers was bombing the Pentagon.
Those explanations don't fly.
