The Annenberg Foundation - Terrorist Financers

Thu Oct 09, 2008 at 05:08:31 AM PDT
In 1968 William Ayers was leader of the Weatherman, a well known domestic terrorist organisation.

In 1993 William Ayers, Anne Hallett, and Warren Chapman decided to apply for a grant from the Annenberg Foundation for $49.2 Million to improve and reform Chicago's public schools.

In 1994 Ayers, Hallett and Chapman gathered a 73-member Chicago School Reform Collaborative Working Group from organizations involved in school reform to help them draft a proposal which was submitted to Vartan Gregorian, president of Brown University, for review and approval. Adele Smith Simmons, Deborah Leff, and Patricia Albjerg Graham helped negotiate its approval by Gregorian.

In 1995, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge was awarded the $49.2 millon grant by the Annenberg Foundation.

Who are these scary people that showed such poor judgement that they were willing to fund and work with a known domestic terrorist?

The following is a list of people who found William Ayers acceptable to work with. Some are Republicans, some are Democrats, some have endorsed John McCain in 2008 and some even currently work on John McCain's 2008 campaign. Most are well respected people but apparently they all loves them some terrorists.

Someone should make an ad calling the Annenberg Foundation a terrorist financer and see how many republicans freak out in response to this garbage:


Walter Hubert Annenberg, Terrorist Financer
Provided William Ayers with a $49.2 Million grant.

During his lifetime, it is estimated that Annenberg donated over US$2 billion. "Education...", he once said, "holds civilization together"[8]. Many school buildings, libraries, theaters, hospitals, and museums across the United States now bear his name. His collection of French impressionist art was valued at approximately US$1 billion in 1991 and was donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City upon his passing in 2002. In 1990, he donated $50 million to the United Negro College Fund which was the largest amount ever contributed to the organization

Walter's widow, Leonore has endorsed John McCain in 2008

Kill them! Kill them! Terraists!!!! Terraists!!!!

I am joking, FEMA and SS.

I am certain that if Obama wins, we will experience some real terrorism. Pigboy and his lunatic imitators will start a truly vicious campaign to keep their troops riled up and some will start thinking about how to hurt as many liberals as possible.

Why doesn't someone ask McCain, "if this guy is such a terrorist, how come he never went to jail? Why is he still walking around?"

The fact is, if he had anything to do with bombings, it was a statue in Chicago. That's more like vandalism than anything else. And all charges against him were dropped.

John McCain was a prisoner in Vietnam. So was Gary Glitter, and I'm not voting for him either.
