Prairie Fire

Prairie Fire is the ideological manifesto of the Weather Underground organization, co-written by Bill Ayers. The book describes Weather Underground as a guerrilla organization that adopts communist political ideology, and views armed struggle as the only way to overthrow reigning "imperialist" regime in United States. Some conservative bloggers said that the brochure, which was dedicated, among others, to Robert F. Kennedy's assassin Sirhan Sirhan, underscores the negative significance of Ayers Obama connection.ZombieTime: William Ayers' forgotten communist...

Several democratic and republican pundits and representatives appeared on the Fox News Channel talk show Hannity and Colmes to discuss the implications of a manifesto that supports violence and declares Weather Underground members to be communists. Conservative speakers insisted that the brochure's contents incriminate Obama in anti-American sentiment by his association with the co-author Ayers.YouTube Video: Barack Obama: Bill Ayers Book The "Prairie Fire"!
