Nice try Barack, but your lame effort to claim that Hillary has the same kind of Weather Underground problem that you do is nonsense. Let’s put the facts side by side:
Barack Obama:
A thirteen year relationship with William Ayers, an unrepentant member of the Weather Underground. Ayers did not do jail time because the FBI botched the evidence. Ayers stated on 9-11 that he regretted not planting more bombs. And what did Barack do? Barack continued to appear in public with Ayers. Barack accepted campaign cash from Ayers. Barack gave money, with help from Ayers, to a group that backs Palestinian’s tied to the PLO. Barack was doing this as recently as 2002.
Hillary Clinton:
No relationship with unrepentant members of the Weather Underground. Hillary’s husband, Bill Clinton, pardoned two members of the Weather Underground who had been convicted and served significant time in prison. One of these was Susan Rosenberg. Hillary was not consulted and did not lobby on behalf of Rosenberg and her cohort. Hillary has not solicited or taken campaign funds from the Weather Underground. Hillary does not sit on any board with any member of the Weather Underground.
Got it?
Welcome to the bizarro world of Barack Obama. He is personal friends with an unrepentant terrorist and takes his campaign donations and claims this is the same as Hillary being married to the President who pardoned two members of the Weather Underground who had served six years in prison. And Rosenberg actually apologized for her crime.
I disagree with Bill Clinton’s decision. I think he was wrong. But I blame him, not Hillary. Hillary did not put him up to it and Hillary did not benefit from the decision. So what is Senator Obama’s point? Hillary is not friends with an unrepentant terrorist. Barack is. Explain that one to us Mr. Obama.
Funny Obama supporters belittle her role as first lady yet they claimed she had enough influence over Bill Clinto to get a pardons for the weather undground.. Nice try David Corn.
