Ever wonder why the government has never gone after Dorhn or Ayers since then?

Could be the government did a little bombing itself and lay blame on the Weathermen. Tin foil? Sure. But not all that unlikely given the times. Why haven’t they pursued murder charges against them??

Break out the tinfoil hats!

Bernadine Dohrn WAS convicted of terrorist related charges.
This is why Dohrn has never been allowed to sit for the bar exam, though she does have a law degree.

William Ayers, on the other hand, got off on a legal technicality.

Ayers BRAGS about his terrorist activity, in his own book, &quot;fugitive days&quot; --- and Ayers was promoting his book, in the NYT, on 9-11-01!</description>

I thought Charlie Manson was in charge of ACORN?

Or was it Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Like Prine says...

&quot;Pretty good, not bad, I cant complain. But actually, all them gods are just about the same.&quot;

Paulie is a serial subject changer. 

He gets no traction with the obama as a terrorist and associate of terrorists so... he goes to sex scandals.

Not a smart move with repukes, because, ya know, they kinda have a lock on that one.

You were better off with the &quot;obama is a Manson supporter&quot; meme.</description>

Nice try.
If McCain or Palin had a political fundraiser in the home of a former KKK member, would it matter that such a meeting was perfectly legal?

Of course not!

		<description>Hey
Didnt Obama benefit from the Mark Foley scandal?

Well, guess what, the Democrat that REPLACED Foley now has a scandal of his own to deal with:

Sex scandal involves local congressman  
 
Washington, D.C. - Rep. Tim Mahoney has paid $121,000 to a former mistress who worked on his staff and had sued him after he threatened her job when she tried to end the relationship, former and current staff aides told ABC News on Monday.

Mahoney, D-Fla., won his congressional seat in 2006 after Republican Rep. Mark Foley was forced to resign in the wake of a scandal involving a congressional page.

His district includes part of the Bay Area in Highlands County.

According to ABC News, Mahoney, who is married, started the affair with Patricia Allen while campaigning against Foley on a morality platform. Allen came on to his staff after he won the election in 2006, but when complaints about the affair surfaced, Mahoney moved Allen to the campaign staff, aides told the broadcast network.

ABC reported Allen tried to break off the affair after learning Mahoney was supposedly cheating on her and his wife with other women. In response, he threatened her job.

&quot;You work at my pleasure,&quot; Mahoney told Allen in a taped Jan. 20, 2008, telephone call played for Mahoney staffers, ABC reported. (More at FoxNews.com)&quot;

Look here for an audio of Democrat Mahoney threatening his former employee:
