Bush = Hitler As Projection

Bush = Hitler As Projection

The progressives spent a lot of time comparing Bush to Hitler over the last few years--and now, they are comparing McCain to Bush. So what would you call a group that wanted to engage in the murder of millions of people? Confederate Yankee found a clip from a 1982 documentary in which an FBI informant discusses his involvement with William Ayers' organization, Weather Underground (both the text and the video are over there):

I asked, "well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" and the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated.

And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill."

Twenty-five million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.

And they were dead serious.

Zombietime (one of my favorite reporters from Progressive Pervert Central, San Francisco) has dug up copies of Prairie Fire, written by Ayers and Dohrn and others while they were underground, and scanned in pages from it. Read it, and you will see that there is nothing implausible about the idea that these lunatics were prepared to kill 25 million Americans who couldn't be "re-educated."

By the way, the progressive academics at SupportBillAyers.org (who are a strong argument for political quotas in university teaching jobs) have described Ayers' involvement in planning bombings of buildings this way:

The current characterizations of Professor Ayers---“unrepentant terrorist,” “lunatic leftist”---are unrecognizable to those who know or work with him. It’s true that Professor Ayers participated passionately in the civil rights and antiwar movements of the 1960s, as did hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Thanks to Professor David Bernstein at Volokh Conspiracy for pointing out how the progressive academics describe bombings and plans to murder 25 million people for their refusal to accept socialist dogma: "participated passionately in the civil rights and antiwar movements of the 1960s."

I remember in the late 1960s or early 1970s running into a book titled Pigtown (not the same as the novel by William J. Caunitz) set just a little ways in the future where progressives are being rounded up and exterminated by conservatives in concentration camps. (It was so stupid that I didn't get past the first chapter.) Like I said, an awful lot of progressive thinking is projection: taking their deepest and darkest desires and projecting them onto their opponents.

I don't assume that Obama has this same genocidal madness as other progressives do. But Obama's attempts to pretend that William Ayers was "a guy in the neighborhood," instead of a significant political ally in Obama's rise to power, is dishonest, and pretty darn scary. I can only hope that President Obama will be more influenced by crooks like Rezko than ideologically driven mass murderer wannabes like William Ayers. But for that later situation: I think it would be a good idea to make sure that you have a few thousand rounds of ammunition for your rifles--just in case Ayers and friends end up in positions of power.
