DANIEL GREENFIELD: “Kill Your Parents” at the Obama Presidential Center.
“We are a guerrilla organization. We are communist women and men,” Prairie Fire, a book co-authored by Ayers, Dohrn and other radicals declared. “Revolutionary war will be complicated and protracted. It includes mass struggle and clandestine struggle, peaceful and violent, political and economic, cultural and military, where all forms are developed in harmony with the armed struggle.”
Barack Obama may have seated his two terrorist mentors in the front rows, but he made no direct reference to them, except for having “found my community here, friendships that would last a lifetime.”
“Happy Birthday, Ho Chi Minh!!” Ayers had posted a month earlier. “Happy Birthday Cathy Boudin!! LIVE LIKE THEM! We love, love, love you!!!!”
Kathy Boudin had been a member of the Weathermen who, along with the May 19th Communist Organization, had distracted two police officers while her associates murdered them. No word on whether Boudin, now, like Ayers, an academic, was at the Obama Presidential Center opening, but like Ho Chi Minh, she was there in spirit.
Gosh, and the building has such a warm, welcoming appearance:
So I've been touring all over Eastern Europe and am headed home soon.
In literally every country I've visited I have had guides and ordinary people talk about how awful Cold War communist Brutalist architecture is/was, and how it is so disgraceful to see it located right… pic.twitter.com/MW3U07oKcJ
