Mayor Daley Speaks Out
STATEMENT OF MAYOR RICHARD M. DALEY REGARDING SENATOR BARACK OBAMA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH BILL AYERS:
There are a lot of reasons that Americans are angry about Washington politics. And one more example is the way Senator Obama’s opponents are playing guilt-by-association, tarring him because he happens to know Bill Ayers.
I also know Bill Ayers. He worked with me in shaping our now nationally-renowned school reform program. He is a nationally-recognized distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois/Chicago and a valued member of the Chicago community.
I don’t condone what he did 40 years ago but I remember that period well. It was a difficult time, but those days are long over. I believe we have too many challenges in Chicago and our country to keep re-fighting 40 year old battles.

Yes, let’s focus on this instead of the real deal: What’s going on in Iraq.
Who cares about that? And also, let’s accuse anyone that speaks out
against the War of being anti-Semetic, anti-Jewish and anti-Israel.
It’s absurd and ridiculous but so is all of the fat hysteria in this country
disguised as racism. After all, African-Americans and Latinos have
bigger bodies, at least according to The Obesity Myth. The suppression
of information and ignorance of the masses is how blatant fascism threatens
to overwhelm this country!
As America moves closer to a brown majority, major corporations are
outsourcing jobs over overseas and only offering a smaller percentage
of jobs to Americans. We are then forced to not speak our mind, focus
SOLELY on our looks and not our intelligence and scared to say any-
thing while the fight for oil runs us into the ground.
I’ve noticed that any comments I’ve made on this blog are picked up
but not any comments I’ve made elsewhere. I believe the reason
for this is that my political enemies, including one sick, sad man that
has in the past bugged my house, tampered with my phone, email
and car all in an effort to silence my voice. Now, I’m receiving
death threats. This is the state that ALL Americans will face in a
few years if we don’t wake up to this fear-mongering.

Daley is right. Bill is one on the great thinkers of our time. His heart is in education to unleash the highest potential of each individual. His soul is in social justice. God bless Bill Ayers!

Unfortunately, Daley’s comments only serve to illustrate that the Democrap Chicago corruption, I mean political machine is untouchable. Daley knows he calls the shots so he can endorse the terrorist and place him on a pedestal.
