In works like "City Kids, City Teachers" and "Teaching the Personal and the Political," Mr. Ayers wrote that teachers should be community organizers dedicated to provoking resistance to American racism and oppression. His preferred alternative? "I'm a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist," Mr. Ayers said in an interview in Ron Chepesiuk's, "Sixties Radicals," at about the same time Mr. Ayers was forming CAC.
CAC translated Mr. Ayers's radicalism into practice. Instead of funding schools directly, it required schools to affiliate with "external partners," which actually got the money. Proposals from groups focused on math/science achievement were turned down. Instead CAC disbursed money through various far-left community organizers, such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (or Acorn).
Mr. Obama once conducted "leadership training" seminars with Acorn, and Acorn members also served as volunteers in Mr. Obama's early campaigns. External partners like the South Shore African Village Collaborative and the Dual Language Exchange focused more on political consciousness, Afrocentricity and bilingualism than traditional education. CAC's in-house evaluators comprehensively studied the effects of its grants on the test scores of Chicago public-school students. They found no evidence of educational improvement.
Andrew Breitbart took the podium at CPAC Friday afternoon, introduced to the stage with Rage Against The Machine’s Guerilla Radio, and revealed to the audience he had “videos” of Barack Obama from his college days. “I have videos, this election we’re going to vet him,” Breitbart disclosed to raucous applause. “We are going to vet him from his college days to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008.”
The videos are going to come out, the narrative is going to come out, that Barack Obama met a bunch of silver ponytails in the 1980s, like Bill (Ayers) and Bernadine (Dohrn), who said one day we would have the presidency, and the rest of us slept as they plotted, and they plotted, and they plotted and they oversaw hundreds of millions of dollars in the Annenberg Challenge and they had real money, from real capitalists. Then they became communists. We got to work on that. That is a parenthesis. Barack Obama is a radical, we should not be afraid to say that! Okay? And Barack Obama was launched from Bill and Bernadine’s salon. I’ve been there.”

This must be really earth shattering stuff if Andy is going to keep it under wraps a little longer. I guess he is not all that worried about Obama destroying the country...just yet. What will this do for the birthers? What will it do to open the door for discussion on where his Republican opponent stood on things when he was in college? No one on the right even cares that Romney was just very recently pro-gay marriage, pro healthcare mandate, anti-gun, pro-abortion, etc. Why should we care what he was when he was in college? Oh, we won't.

AB died at 43. Just before he was to release video of radical Obama in college.
Anyone smell something fishy?

Well that is a bit of a stretch.
Everyone close to him claims he died suddenly from natural causes...which suggests either stroke or heart attack.
I think it is disrespectful to him and to Obama to try to suggest he was bumped off.

Never heard of Breitbart saying he has something if he doesn’t. Boy do I hope he has really good security!
I agree. And Occam's Razor would certainly fit in your speculation.

not that you'll listen - and while it's rather rare - it's not a crazy idea that he may have suffered a stroke.
People younger than Breitbart have had them.
