Episode #203 It’s the ‘Thrown Under The Bus By Obama’ episode! Bill Ayers and former head of ACORN, Bertha Lewis, join the show.
Ayers talks about the Weather Underground, particularly the political tumultuousness of the time that created the environment in which activists turned to violence. He also discusses President Obama, education, charter schools, and what makes him happy.
Check out Ayers’ excellent book “Fugitive Days.”
Lewis joins the show to chat about her days in ACORN, and her new project, the Black Institute, along with her work at New York Communities for Change, which helps people fight back on foreclosures. If you, or someone you know, is facing foreclosure in New York, or you’d like to volunteer to help someone who is, visit http://www.nycommunities.org/stayinyourhome.
She also talks about her origins as a community organizer, tells Democrats to “man-up,” and says Glenn Beck is engaging in “political necrophilia.” Really, it’s an awesome interview. Oh, and Lewis also reveals what makes her happy.
