Ayers became involved in the New Left and the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).[7] He rose to national prominence as an SDS leader in 1968 and 1969. As head of an SDS regional group, the "Jesse James Gang", Ayers made decisive contributions to the Weatherman orientation toward militancy.[5]The group Ayers headed in Detroit, Michigan became one of the earliest gatherings of what became the Weatherman. Between the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the June 1969 SDS convention, Ayers became a prominent leader of the group, which arose as a result of a schism in SDS.[5]"During that time his infatuation with street fighting grew and he developed a language of confrontational militancy that became more and more pronounced over the year [1969]", disaffected former Weatherman member Cathy Wilkerson wrote in 2001. Ayers had previously become a roommate of Terry Robbins, a fellow militant, Wilkerson wrote. Robbins would later be killed while making a bomb.[8]In June 1969, the Weatherman took control of the SDS at its national convention, where Ayers was elected Education Secretary.[5] Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to riot police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot confrontation between labor supporters and the police.[9] The blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway.[10] (The statue was rebuilt and unveiled on May 4, 1970, and blown up again by other Weathermen on October 6, 1970.[11][10] Rebuilding it yet again, the city posted a 24-hour police guard to prevent another blast.[10]) Ayers participated in the Days of Rage riot in Chicago in October 1969, and in December was at the "War Council" meeting in Flint, Michigan. Larry Grathwohl, an FBI informant in the Weatherman group from the fall of 1969 to the spring of 1970, thought that "Ayers, along with Bernardine Dohrn, probably had the most authority within the Weatherman".[12] - from wikipedia
Rev. Jeremiah Wright: Barack Obama's former pastor. Obama only chose to disassociate himself with Rev. Wright after he concluded that Rev. Wright would be hurtful to his rise to power. Rev. Wright who has been spewing hate for years as Barack's pastor, is now being denounced by the hopeful Presidential nominee.
Let's watch some of Obama's longtime spiritual advisor's greatest hits:
Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee for President, first met Wright in the late 1980s, while he was working as a community organizer in Chicago before attending Harvard Law School.[25] Wright officiated at the wedding ceremony of Barack and Michelle Obama, as well as their children's baptism.[5] The title of Obama's memoir, The Audacity of Hope, was inspired by one of Wright's sermons.[25][5]
Wright was scheduled to give the public invocation before Obama's presidential announcement, but Obama withdrew the invitation the night before the event.[26] Wright wrote a rebuttal letter to the editor disputing the characterization of the account as reported in an article in The New York Times.[27]
In 2007 Wright was appointed to Barack Obama's African American Religious Leadership Committee, a group of over 170 national black religious leaders who supported Obama's bid for the Democratic nomination;[28] however, it was announced in March 2008 that Wright was no longer serving as a member of this group.[29] - wikipedia
