Barack Obama’s Friend Bernadine Dohrn Was Committing Crimes Well Into The 1980’s
Barack Obama has often tried to shrug off his connections to Weather Underground bomb-setters William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn by saying that their crimes were committed when he was a small child, and that they’re changed people. Something he thinks makes it acceptable for him to campaign with them (he launched his campaign for the Illinois state senate from the married Ayers and Dohrn home) and fund raise with them (he served on the board of the Woods Foundation with Dohrn).
But the truth is that as late as September 11th, 2001 William Ayers was saying that he never regretted setting bombs in his radical past and wished he’d set more. And now we learn that Bernadine Dohrn was assisting in armed robberies, identity theft and murder as late as the 1980’s.
According to a 1982 New York Times report, Broadway Baby was implicated in an investigation of a series of violent armed robberies in New York—netting more than $2 million over a two-year span—committed by former Black Panthers and Weather Underground members in the early ’80s.
Their aim? Global revolution, naturally. They needed cash, but the rich white parents weren’t in a giving mood. So their privileged offspring grabbed guns, pointed them at the faces of the working man and, sometimes, they pulled the trigger.
At Broadway Baby, customers often paid by check and used driver’s licenses for identification. On Dec. 28, 1979, information from two customer files was used to apply for two driver’s licenses at the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. The fraudulent licenses were used to rent getaway cars for the gang.
Investigators tracked the identities on two licenses for the getaway cars. The names belonged to women who had shopped at Broadway Baby in December 1979. But they weren’t robbers.
And who was the manager of Broadway Baby during that period of the customer ID theft?
Dohrn, the future wife of Ayers, identified by investigators as taking customer information from one, and possibly both, of the women shoppers. Dohrn was never charged in that case.
Later Dohrn refused to cooperate with a grand jury investigation into the crimes committed by this gang she assisted and spent 7 months in jail on contempt charges.
Allah at Hot Air adds:
Only 14 years after these murders, Barack Obama went to the house of the apparent accomplice in these robberies and murders and asked for her support in his first political campaign. He sat on panels with Ayers in Chicago discussing politics and worked with him on the Woods Foundation board. This isn’t just some neighbor with whom he accidentally crossed paths; the Obamas sought out Ayers and Dohrn and maintained political ties with them at least through 2002.
Do we want to hear another verse of how Ayers and Dohrn somehow equate to Tom Coburn?
Again and again the Obama faithful in the media try to give Barack a pass for these associations, but as far as I’m concerned if you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas.
Throughout Obama’s political career he’s sought out the criminals Ayers and Dohrn for support and camaraderie and only broke ties with them in 2002 when it was time to start manufacturing his middle-of-the-road, “hope and change” persona for his national elections. Which begs the question: Who is the real Obama? The man who hangs out with the likes of Ayers and Dohrn or the man who is now on the political stump trying to tell us that his past with those people doesn’t matter?
