Not surprisingly, Obama praised terrorist William Ayers in 1997

Yeah real shock. Change we can believe in for all. B Hussein Obama, running for the highest office in the land, offering praise to a terrorist.

Barack Obama, who has consistently downplayed his relationship with William Ayers during his presidential campaign, once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by the former domestic terrorist and was mentioned by name in the book itself.

A blogger unearthed the Dec. 21, 1997, endorsement in the Chicago Tribune and posted photographs of the praise for Ayers’ book on Zombietime.com Saturday.

Featured next to a smiling photograph of himself, then-State Senator Obama called Ayers’ book, “A Kind and Just Parent: Children of the Juvenile Court,” a “searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair.”

The book, which details life at the Chicago Juvenile Court prison school, mentions Obama by name on page 82 when it describes Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood:

“Our neighbors include Muhammad Ali, former mayor Eugene Sawyer, poets Gwendolyn Brooks and Elizabeth Alexander, and writer Barack Obama. Minister Louis Farrakhan lives a block from our home and adds, we think, a unique dimension to the idea of ’safe neighborhood watch’: the Fruit of Islam, his security force, has an eye on things twenty-four-hours a day.”

The Obama campaign said the blurb was not a full-fledged review of the book.

“He didn’t do a review. He provided one line about the book to the Tribune,” campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told FOXNews.com.

A month before the item appeared, on Nov. 20, 1997, Michelle Obama, then dean of student services and director of the University Community Service Center, held a panel at the University of Chicago that featured both Barack Obama and Ayers.

“Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School, who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system,” the University of Chicago Chronicle reported on Nov. 6, 1997.

Obama has been criticized for refusing to elaborate on the extent of his relationship with Ayers and for claiming to have had no idea Ayers was a co-founder of the Wesather Underground, which claimed responsibility for bombing the Pentagon, U.S. Capitol and a New York Supreme Court justice’s home in the Sixties.

The Obama campaign has noted that Obama was 8 years old when Ayers and the Weather Underground were active and has no link to their activities. Ayers has said he has “no regrets” about his participation in the domestic terror group.

“A Kind and Just Parent” was in stock at Amazon.com and ranked 51,273 in sales on Monday.

    Barak Obama's friendship with the Communist terrorist, William Ayres, reveals Obama's Marxist inclinations; his devotion to the Communist revolutionary Saul Alinsky reveals the same Marxist orientation. Marxism is anti-American tyranny, so it follows that Barak Obama is an anti-American tyrant at an early stage of development. Barak Obama has powerful supporters: Union leaders, Democrat Party leaders, University Professors, most of the Mass Media, Hollywood and George Soros.


    Folks, we are in trouble; America may be on the verge of electing a tyrant.


    “Here I propose to present an arrangement of certain facts and general concepts of change, a step toward a science of revolution....The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals are written for the Have-nots on how to take it away.”  Saul Alinsky


    “Organization for action will now and in the decade ahead center upon America’s white middle class. That is where the power is.”


    “Organization for action will now and in the decade ahead center upon America’s white middle class. That is where the power is....Our rebels have contemptuously rejected the values and the way of life of the middle class. They have stigmatized it as materialistic, decadent, bourgeois, degenerate, imperialistic, war-mongering, brutalized and corrupt. They are right; but we must begin from where we are if we are to build power for change and the power and the people are in the middle class majority.”


    “The third rule of the ethics of means and ends is that in war the ends justifies almost any means.”


    “In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt.”


    “Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.”


    "You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral arguments ... Moral rationalization is indispensable at all times of action whether to justify the selection or the use of ends or means.”


    “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
