Hat tip to Squid for this video.
Bernadine Dohrn is a washed-up old terrorist from the 1960s and 70s, former fugitive, wife of Bill Ayres, and a law professor at Northwestern University. Nowadays, instead of planting bombs for the Weather Underground, she simply gives moral support for today's terrorists and would-be terrorists as she accuses her own country of being what she used to be herself.
Keep in mind that it was in her and Bill Ayres home that Barack Obama got his start in politics in Chicago.
In the above tape, Dohrn is interviewed by Russia Today. This interview occurred just this month.
It makes me want to puke.

Well, she is denouncing the bombing of Qadaffi's forces in Libya as terrorism and U.S. imperialism, so obviously I don't agree. Actually, she is closer in her position to Gary Fouse than either of them are to me.
I read that in the portion of Libya not controlled by the colonel's dying regime, people are waving American, British and French flags in appreciation. Neither Dohrn nor Fouse seem to give that much consideration. When is the last time any sizeable number of people in Arabic-speaking lands waved the American flag out of gratitude, rather than while setting fire to it?
From what I hear, Dohrn does a reasonably good job with the children's law program at Northwestern, and they hired her to do a reasonably good job in that position. What she says on her own time is protected by the First Amendment, just like Geert Wilders is protected by the First Amendment.
I'm not sure what credibility a Russian correspondent has conducting an interview with Dohrn about American imperialism. Putin's regime crushed the substantial remaining presence of the Communist Party several years ago. One thing the U.S. ranks third at these days is plutocracy. China is first, Russia second.
This doesn't make me vomit. It just makes me laugh. What does this pathetic woman know about the laws of history anyway? According to her understanding of the laws of history, steel workers and teamsters should have been waving red flags by now, and cheering her on. Didn't happen.
Don't try to drag out that shabby pinprick about Obama having a fundraiser for a state senate seat in the home of a local English professor. Anyone running for the state legislature in any state would accept any invitation to speak anywhere without asking a lot of questions. You notice he didn't offer them positions in the cabinet, and he hasn't appointed her as a federal magistrate -- which is sound judgement of course.

I would not have stepped foot on their front lawn.
Does anyone wonder why Dorhn does not have a license to practice law and she is allowed to teach law at Northwestern? She cannot get a license to practice law, as the Ill bar will not grant one to a terrorist. Yet, she teaches. Could it be that Northwestern is like University of Chicago, where her husband Ayers taught. This group, including Obama, traveled (as in "fellow travelers"), in the same packs. Dorhn is anti-capitalist, anti-America, ant-Semitic, anti-Israel and a Marxist. She embraces Islamists who also are anti-capitalists (love sharia law).

She fits right in with all the crowd. People like her are a dime a dozen in our university system. God forbid Chemerinsky would ever bring her to UCI.
Iraq is a place, Gary, not a time. I infer the time you refer to is 2003. How come we weren't in and out in six weeks? How come people weren't throwing flowers at us on the way out?
You haven't run for public office. I doubt it occurred to the young state senate candidate that a tenured professor of English used to set of bombs -- but it was the Reagan administration that cut the deal to let Ayers and Dohrn make their way openly in civil society again.
Squid, I don't have a law degree, but I could teach a better course on the exercise of discretion by parole boards than most lawyers in my state. I don't mean a course on the advisability of parole -- just on what the applicable law is. I do remember joking, when she first applied for a law license, that in my opinion she has every moral requisite to practice law. I love lawyer jokes.
Dohrn doesn't actually teach law though, she administers a program delivering legal services to children. The program runs well and delivers what it promises, so she must have some real capabilities. I wouldn't attend a rally featuring her as a speaker, or sign a petition with her as a listed author, but she's competent at what she is paid to do. This kind of nit-picking is truly pathetic.
