RBO: Bill Ayers’ Red Star Symbolism

RBO has reposted an explanation of the Red Star Barack Obama’s Communist friend Bill Ayers was wearing on his shirt when the FOX reporter approached him. Naturally, being a shameless pilferer, I am cross-posting it.

Bear in mind that this nutcase is an admitted anarchist, has already stated clearly that he didn’t think he “did enough” when he was blowing up America. And bear in mind that his goal was to overthrow the government of the United States of America.

There have been a lot of hits today on an article RBO posted on September 9, 2008, “A return to Ayers’ ‘Red Star Symbolism’” (reposted below) prompted by a Bill O’Reilly Fox News report that points to a T-shirt being worn by Ayers on which appears a large red star. Watch:

Allahpundit at Hot Air comments:

I hate when they send producers out to bug people at home, but I’ll make an exception just this once for an unrepentant terrorist. Question: What’s more ironic than a guy who allegedly conspired to kill cops calling for police back-up to shoo away a reporter? Answer: A guy in a red-star t-shirt, who helped write “Prairie Fire,” warning that reporter to respect his property rights and stay out of his front yard.

Here’s RBO’s repost of “Ayers’ ‘Red Star Symbolism’.”

The blogosphere has been all abuzz today about domestic terrorist and Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers and the comic strip cartoon of himself explaining what he meant when he said “We Didn’t Do Enough’ to End Vietnam War.”

You can read about it elsewhere. What caught RBO”s attention is the drawings, not the “message.”

Take a good look at this picture for a second or two.

What grabbed RBO’s attention was a comment Pagan Power made:

Today ABC News has published a cartoon Ayers made for his blog in which he casts himself not as a radical terrorist, but instead as an American patriot. Just take a look at the shirt he made for himself to wear. Like he is Captain Frickin America. It is reprehensible on so many levels that I cannot begin to describe my outrage.

This raises an interesting point, but not the one Pagan Power intended. It is highly unlikely that the star on the front of his shirt has much, if anything, to do with Captain America.

Here’s what RBO guest blogger Droxana wrote in her August 22, 2008, article “Obama’s Real Bill Ayers Problem,” about Ayers’s red star:

Ayers’ Red Star Symbolism

I sent the following query to a wise friend and got back a very interesting response. My friend was able to succinctly articulate what I perceived intuitively, but could not express. If/when Obama becomes sufficiently Velcro-ed to William Ayers, I think this symbolism, added to all of Obama’s other creepy symbolism, could become a powerful tool of exposure. You don’t really have to say much to people if they have one drop of American blood … just show it to them and watch the heebie-jeebies crawl up their spines. Anyway, chew on it and keep it in the arsenal.

Q: What the hell do you make of Ayers’ symbolism?

A: Red Star ain’t so hard to figure out that it’s like Fellini, it’s clearly whole cloth declaration of Communism, but the rolled over corner is clever. First, the Red Star is on a round field … or, a globe, if you will.

The rolled corner conceals part of the Red Star.

What needs concealment? Something that’s being hidden. Something they don’t want revealed .. yet.

I’d hazard that the rolled up corner conceals a multiple of sins … the Reds in America, those among us who look and act like one kind of person/politician but who are loyal in an entirely treacherous manner and in specific, it symbolizes two especial things …. (a) their plans and victories in the one remaining part of the Red Star covering the globe that cannot yet be brought out into view, and (b) that the world is almost completely Red, except for this one area that is yet completely unconquered.

In other words … us.

Look at the comic strip again. No rolled up corner on this star.

Was this intentional? Did the artist even know? Was he told to roll up the corner or not? Is Bill Ayers mocking us? Does he think he knows something we don’t? Is he having his own private little joke at our expense?

With Bill Ayers you can be certain of one thing. He doesn’t do anything for nothing.
