Herb,
The Chicago Annenberg Challenge engaged in a specific pedagogy by which students were indoctrinated into Marxist concepts of oppression and alienation. Billy Ayers’ fingerprints all over that. Obama knew it and went along with it. It takes a credulousness that tries to hide a deeper recognition of the truth to believe that Barack Obama did not approve of the guiding ideology of Billy Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn.
Obama himself says that in college he gravitated towards professors who were Marxist and socialist. He approved of that worldview. This was PRIOR to meeting Billy Ayers after he graduated from Columbia University. His high school “mentor” was a Communist named Frank Marshall Davis. Liberation Theology is a Pelagian heresy I am quite familiar with, since I had been an adherent of it back in the late Seventies and through much of the Eighties when I was a Jesuit. Much of it employs Marxism, and Cardinal Ratzinger was quite correct about that. One Liberation Theologian I did not read was James Cone, because the sampling of his I did see lead me to believe that it was unsystematic, scatalogical, and more of a rant than anything else. No, Obama was quite molded into the Marxist worldview BEFORE he met Ayers. In fact, their acquaintance and alliance makes sense because they shared a commitment to socialism.
Bear in mind that Billy Ayers was not the only terrorist connection in Obama’s life. Edward Said was an academic apologist for Muslim jihad against the Jews and Obama took courses from Said at Columbia. Rashid Khalidi, another professor, was a member of the PLO’s propaganda arm. Obama approved of these men and seems to have had sympathy for their views.
So, your comment above is just indefensible and a lame attempt to drop by and show the flag for your masters. Wow, I kicked sand in the eyes of those eeeeeevillll capitalist pig dogs at PJM!
