Bill Ayers: The United States Is the Foremost Threat to World Peace Today (http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13930915000040)


Bill Ayers says, according to the most standard and reliable definitions of terrorism, "US is indeed a terrorist nation." He adds, "It’s also the greatest purveyor of violence on earth over the past half century, and the foremost threat to world peace today."
Too bad he wasn't standing next to his girlfriend on March 6, 1970 as she and other Weather Underground terrorists incompetently assembled a bomb that was going to be used to commit a terrorist attack at Fort Dix.

This man -- who, as founding member and chair of the Annenberg Foundation, gave the President a job at the Foundation's "Chicago Annenberg Challenge" and held his political coming out party in his home -- is a despicable human being who should be rotting in prison.

This is powerful stuff that will guarantee Obama will not be re-elected in 2016.

It just proves what tools the people were, that voted for him...

[ChumpDumper]

So it's just another sore loser thread.

[Yonivore]

Were you one of the tools that voted for Obama?

[ChumpDumper]

I do remember all your fear mongering about Ayres and Wright.

I remember saying it wasn't a big deal and he would be much less scary as president than your blogs said he would.

What were you so afraid of again?

Afraid? No, just pointing out what has come true; he's been the worst President in modern history -- even surpassing Jimmy Carter on the bad scale.

Yeah, not really.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, not really.Yeah, really.

The decider really fucked that one up, initially and thereafter.

I remember thinking how stupid people were to vote for a man who was close associates with those people.

Barry palling around with Ayres is WORSE than dubya/dickhead wasting 5K+ US military lives, in pussy eater's bizarro world.

[Wild Cobra]

Yes, gotta give him that.

If nothing else, we will go down as the worse president until libtards get someone worse in.

I wonder just how much worse they can get to win with their affirmative action mentality?

[Wild Cobra]

Nah, Bushy's unnecessary war still trumps it. W is hanging around with Nixon.

Nixon just got caught. Do you think no other president was guilty of crimes?

How many democrats voted for that, and why are we still in Afghanistan?

yawn, the WH, Repugs ran a huge campaign of LIES, BULLYING, INTIMIDATION (you're traitor if you don't vote for war), dickless Dems voted for it, Obama didn't.

Whatever...

[Yonivore]

Well, to be fair, he did get "dickless Dems" right.

Democrats were privy to the same intelligence as Republicans.

An investigation already determined the administration didn't fudge the intelligence and didn't lie us into war.

Democrats wanted to be on the right side of history until they realized the political benefits to throwing Bush under the bus.

[boutons_deux]

"same intelligence"

ALL LIES :lol

but Congress wasn't privy to the Iraq oil maps used in dickheads "national energy strategy" SECRET meeting with BigOil in 2001

[ChumpDumper]

Nixon just got caught. Do you think no other president was guilty of crimes?Nixon was batshit insane. That's the only reason I would rate him below Bush. the Iraq War will always keep Bush down among the worst forever.

It starts @7:00. Obama is an atheist. :toast

2nd

In my opinion history will consider administration of Bush W. as one of the worst in history.

Why?

After 9/11 USA got to play the victim card for the first time in eternity. Yet administration burned through all that goodwill in a year and a half as it began the pointless Iraq invasion. Old vs. new Europe, coalition of the willing, freedom fries, some of largest anti-war protests in history...
Then there are Iraq WMDs and Guantanamo that still bite you in the ass any time you want to put forward an argument or criticize someone over their human rights record. At least in the court of international public opinion. Bush administration threw you off the high horse and let you be stomped on in the mud.
Add to it deficit spending for both wars and financial crisis caused by deregulation, although last one is at least partially owned by Clinton.

Obama is far from perfect but at the very least he's delivering his crap in a prettier box.

who is Slavoj Zizek?

[xeromass]

Well, Slavoj Zizek is Slavoj Zizek.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek


Slavoj Žižek (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈslavoj ˈʒiʒɛk] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_Slovene) (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Speaker_Icon.svg/13px-Speaker_Icon.svg.png (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Zizek_-_the_correct_Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek_pronunciation. ogg) listen (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/56/Zizek_-_the_correct_Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek_pronunciation. ogg)); born 21 March 1949) is a Slovenian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenia) Marxist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism) philosopher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy), and cultural critic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_critic), a senior researcher at the Institute for Sociology and Philosophy, University of Ljubljana (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Ljubljana), Slovenia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenia), Global Distinguished Professor of German at New York University (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_University),[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek#cite_note-1) and international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkbeck_Institute_for_the_Humanities). He writes widely on a diverse range of topics, including political theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_theory), film theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_theory), cultural studies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_studies), theology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theology), and psychoanalysis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoanalysis).

Žižek achieved international recognition as a social theorist after the 1989 publication of his first book in English, The Sublime Object of Ideology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sublime_Object_of_Ideology), which disputed a Marxist interpretation of ideology as false consciousness and argued for ideology as an unconscious (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconscious_mind) fantasy that structures reality. Žižek considers himself a political radical and critic of neoliberalism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism). His political thought represents one of two paths of a progressive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism) alternative—either a return to the program of socialism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism), which Žižek and Alain Badiou (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Badiou) advocate, or the proposal of an alternative vision of social arrangements, which is taken up by contemporaries such as Roberto Mangabeira Unger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Mangabeira_Unger).[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek#cite_note-Skof-2)[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek#cite_note-3)

His unorthodox style, frequent newspaper op-eds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op-eds), and popular academic books have gained Žižek a wide following and international influence. He has been labelled by some the "Elvis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley) of cultural theory"[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek#cite_note-Zizek_Journal-4) and Foreign Policy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Policy) listed him on its 2012 list of Top 100 Global Thinkers, calling him "a celebrity philosopher."[5] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek#cite_note-The_FP_Top_100_Global_Thinkers-5) Žižek's work was chronicled in a 2005 documentary film entitled Zizek! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zizek%21) A scholarly journal, the International Journal of Žižek Studies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Journal_of_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek_Studies), was also founded to engage his work.[6] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek#cite_note-6)
