Where did that idea come from? You guessed it, the above mentioned connections.
Wow its worse than I thought .

Former Weather Underground leaders , William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Code Pink founder Jodie Evans, helped organize the Free Gaza Movement, which launched the six-ship flotilla from Turkey to Israel that ended in a violent clash with Israeli Defense Forces, BigGovernment.com reported.
In January, the trio were spotted in Egypt attempting to stir up crowds on the streets with 1,400 other left-wing activists after the Egyptian government refused to allow Free Gaza Movement members to enter the Gaza Strip. About 100 marchers were eventually allowed to cross the border, where they were met by former Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh.
BigGovernment quotes author Philip Weiss, who wrote that he witnessed Ayers and Dohrn arguing with fellow activists over whether to accept Egypt’s offer to allow a small number of them into Gaza:

Obamas connection with William Ayers (Dohrn is the wife of Ayres)
In my U.S. News column this week, I make a brief reference to the unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist bomber William Ayers and his connections to Barak Obama. They were closer than Obama implied when George Stephanopoulos asked him about Ayers in the April 16 debate—the last debate Obama allowed during the primary season. To get an idea of how close they were, check out Tom Maguire's Just One Minute blog and Steve Diamond's Global Labor and Politics. The Obama-Ayers relationship is also mentioned in David Freddoso's The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate.

No need to get your panties in a bunch.

Many stalwart conservatives on these boards justified the invasion of Iraq with helping the Iraqi people to establish a free democracy.

These same people now condemn the revolution in Egypt, SourD even going so far as to claim that there is no hope of democracy in the Middle East.

These two arguments seem to contradict each other, don't you think?

I don't see why we have to have blow by blows on all the national and cable news channels about what's happening there. It's stoking the fire if you ask me. And, isn't it interesting how our attention is diverted from our own important issues in our house of Congress today with all the crap. I wonder how much of this has been orchestrated by Soros and his troupe/s in the background.

Socialism or Social Justice is the common goal the Muslim Brotherhood and progressives of the world share.

lets tune into the destruction of America show go Rush go..
Opinions will vary...thanks for yours

For God's sake, America has had more limited government and therefore more liberty than any other country in the world, individual opportunity and individual responsibility.

The problem with socialism is that "Eventually, Socialists run out of other peoples' money [to spend]."

Are you really this blind...Do you really think this whole protest/roiting was started for more freedom?

Egypt will be another country to fall to radical islam and you fools will still try and tell everyone its not happening!

Well, can you provide examples of what you are alleging? Which ones have condemned the revolution AND used the hope of Democracy as justification for the war on Iraq(You can provide links to the posts right?) I am not SourD, nor did I make such claims so what he says is irrelevant to me.

Are Iraq and Egypt the same people, with the same history, the same resources, the same economy, the same education, the same culture? This thread WAS about Obama and Egypt but you try to deflect it from the topic at hand and make it about Bush and Iraq, classic innefective deflection technique.

Nice try.
