You Don't Need To Be A Weatherman To Know Which Candidate Blows
By Ann Coulter

The key problem for Hillary's campaign is that normal people reel back
in horror at her association with the Clinton administration. (Which
is why, as her supporter, I refer to her as simply "Hillary.")
If Hillary could run exclusively on her record since becoming a
senator from New York, she'd be a relatively moderate Democrat who
hates the loony left -- as we found out this week when a tape of
Hillary denouncing Moveon.org surfaced. Think Joe Biden in a pantsuit.
But because of her unfortunate marriage, Hillary comes with a cast of
undesirables like James Carville, Paul Begala, Terry McAuliffe, Joe
Conason -- and of course Bill Clinton, along with his trusted
impeachment manager Larry Flynt. Buy one, get the entire dirt-bag
collection free!
No one wants those people back.
Even semi-respectable Democrats look sleazy by their association with
the Clintons. No serious Democrat defended Clinton over his
"presidential kneepads" incident with Monica Lewinsky. OK, that's not
including adult film star Ron Jeremy, if you consider him a serious
Democrat. Which I do.
That's why cable TV producers had to call in the O.J. defenders to
flack for Clinton during his impeachment. Any Democrats still clinging
to Hillary at this point appear to be soulless climbers desperate for
jobs in the next administration.
So repellent are Bill Clinton's friends (to the extent that a
sociopathic sex offender with a narcissistic disorder can actually
experience friendship in the conventional sense) that B. Hussein
Obama's association with a raving racist reverend and a former member
of the Weather Underground hasn't caused as much damage as it should.
On one hand, Obama pals around with terrorists. On the other hand,
Hillary pals around with James Carville. Advantage: Obama.
Asked why he would be friends with the likes of Weatherman Bill Ayers,
Obama said: "The notion that ... me knowing somebody who engaged in
detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects
on me and my values doesn't make much sense."
That's a slick answer -- even "Clintonian"! -- but the problem is,
Ayers and his Weatherman wife, Bernadine Dohrn, won't stop boasting
about their days as Weathermen.
It's not simply that they haven't repented. To the contrary, those
were their glory days! And Ayers isn't just someone who lives in the
neighborhood: He and Dohrn were there at the inception of Obama's
political career, hosting a fundraiser for Obama at their home back in
1995.
Besides wanton violence, including a dozen bombings of buildings such
as the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol, historic statues and various police
stations, the Weathermen's "revolutionary" activity consisted
primarily of using the word "motherf-----" a lot, dropping LSD, coming
up with cutesy phrases -- like "the Weather Underground" -- and
competing over who could make the most offensive statements in public.
(I also believe Dohrn may have set the North American record for
longest stretch without bathing.)
At one rally, Dohrn famously praised the Manson family for murdering
Sharon Tate and others, shouting: "Dig it. First they killed those
pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even
shoved a fork into a victim's stomach! Wild!"
In a better country, just saying "Dig it!" in public would get you 20
years in the slammer.
Dohrn has recently tried to clarify her Manson remarks by saying it
was some sort of "statement" about violence in society and,
furthermore, that she said it while under sniper fire in Bosnia. Also
recently, the members of the Manson family have distanced themselves
from Ayers and Dohrn.
At other rallies, Dohrn said, "Bring the revolution home, kill your
parents -- that's where it's at."
After a Chicago Democratic official, Richard Elrod, became paralyzed
while fighting with a privileged looter during the Weathermen's "Days
of Rage," Dohrn led the Weathermen in a song sung to the tune of Bob
Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay":
Lay, Elrod, lay,
Lay in the street for a while
Stay, Elrod, stay
Stay in your bed for a while
You thought you could stop the Weatherman
But up-front people put you on your can,
Stay, Elrod, stay
Stay in your iron lung,
Play, Elrod, play
Play with your toes for a while
Only because of a merciful God is the author of that ditty, Ted Gold,
not teaching at Northwestern or the University of Illinois now,
alongside Dohrn or Ayers. That's because Gold is no longer with us,
having accidentally blown himself up with a bomb intended for a dance
at Fort Dix for new recruits and their dates.
While trying to assemble the bomb at an elegant Greenwich Village
townhouse that belonged to one of the revolutionaries' fathers, the
bungling Weathermen blew up the entire townhouse, killing Gold and two
other butterfingered revolutionaries. Leave it to these nincompoops to
turn their glorious Marxist revolution into an "I Love Lucy" sketch.
So in addition to being stupid and violent, the Weathermen were also
incompetent terrorists. Would that Timothy McVeigh had been so inept!
If he had only said he bombed the building in Oklahoma City to protest
American "imperialism," McVeigh, too, could be teaching at
Northwestern University, sitting on a board with and holding
fundraisers for presidential candidate B. Hussein Obama.
