Weathermen and Obama

Obama, Ayers and the Knowledge  'Too Big' To Handle

I absolutely recommend that everyone watch the documentary "Weather Underground" that the author referred to. You can find it on Google Video.  If this administration still mystifies you in a way you can't quite put your finger on, that documentary will put into sharp focus just how serious these people are. And how insane they are.  - Article comment

“ In sifting through the intellectual landfill upon which the American left has built its worldview, a researcher can find any number of artifacts to help decrypt the Obama presidency. Among the more illuminating is Weather Underground, a watchable 2002 documentary on the soi-disant Weathermen and their times.  Although superficially objective, the film allows the final comment of Weatherman Mark Rudd to stand as something of a thesis statement.     "It was this knowledge that we couldn't handle," says Rudd, explaining the group's turn to violence.  "It was too big.  We didn't know what to do.  In a way I still don't know what to do with the knowledge." ” It's here that my weathered, splintery pea brain has trouble.  I see "the truth too big to handle" as facts that Rudd, and others, kept tripping over.  Facts that "did not naturally fit their template."  Facts they simply reengineered.  Or, maybe that's my template. Author Jack Cashill, whom I know to think with clarity, sees this. “ By contorting every fact that did not naturally fit their template, the Weathermen and their allies concluded, in Ayers' words, that America's "intentions were evil and her justifications dissembling, her explanations dishonest, her every move false." This was the "knowledge," uniquely intuited by the hard left, that Rudd and his colleagues found "too big" to handle. ” We're otherwise copasetic. I've never watched this Weathermen film, but I will now so I can yell at Obama, "you malignant bastard, I watched  your film!"
