Does Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers bolster Hitler / Stalin comparisons?

Comparisons of Barack Obama to Hitler and Stalin appear to be going somewhat mainstream in one respect, thanks to Vice President Joe Biden's announcement that 'the president is going to act' on gun control. The implication was clear - the road to confiscation includes Executive Orders, which are unconstitutional, especially when they do not enforce existing laws enacted by Congress. Such orders are beyond unconstitutional when they target the second amendment itself.

After Biden's comments, it wasn't difficult to make the connection to Hitler and Stalin in this regard - both confiscated guns before committing mass murder by the millions.

Fast forward to the 2008 election campaign. One figure from Obama's past whom he attempted to distance himself from was Bill Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground. Despite the successful attempts by Obama to dismiss his relationship with Ayers - coupled with media complicity in suppressing it - the fact remains that these two men had a rather lengthy and cozy relationship. That's not only relevant based on Ayers' terrorist background but it's also relevant based on his plans, conveyed in 1969.

Ayers remains unrepentant, which means that Obama worked closely (yes, closely) with someone who had no regrets about his actions or his intentions.

Consider the only man to successfully infiltrate the Weather Underground for the FBI. His name is Larry Grathwohl and video of him from 1982 surfaced just before Barack Obama was elected in 2008. In that video, Grathwohl said the plans of Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground included the elimination of 25 million people who 'could not be re-educated into the new way of thinking'.

Sound familiar? Here's the relevant excerpt of Grathwohl's interview from 1982:



The typical argument from the left is that Ayers and Obama were nowhere close to being friends; they just coincidentally served on boards together and handled hundreds of thousands of dollars between them.

As I've written in the past and go into detail in my book, Unsung Davids, which includes a chapter on Grathwohl, perhaps the most damning evidence that connects Obama with Ayers was a find by the Verum Serum blog in 2008. Through a series of screen shots and tax records, it was unequivocally proven that Ayers and Obama shared a business address for at minimum, three years (1995-1998).

That address was 115 South Sangamon Street, third floor, Chicago, IL. Here is a screen shot of that building. Note how the word H-O-P-E is spelled out in four windows... on the third floor.

People may be inclined to compare Obama's desire to confiscate guns to that of Hitler and Stalin but they should also be willing to compare Ayers' desire to commit mass murder to the desire of Hitler and Stalin to do the same thing.

Then, for good measure, consider how close the relationship between Obama and Ayers must have been if they shared an office for at least three years.
