he official Web site of the FBI recommends an organization that praises unrepentant terror bomber Bill Ayers, who, as leader of the radical Weather Underground Organization that set off bombs at the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, and police stations, was once on the FBI’s "Wanted" list.  Ayers has also been identified by an FBI undercover informant as having first-hand knowledge of an unsolved police station bombing that killed one officer and severely wounded others.

Using U.S. tax dollars, under the heading “resources” on its Web page for “Civil Rights” and “Hate Crimes,” the FBI provides a direct link to the wealthy Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a highly ideologically-oriented left-wing organization that has accused popular immigration control organizations of spreading “hate,” and has participated in a national campaign to keep mainstream immigration critics such as former CNN television host Lou Dobbs off the air.
The SPLC’s Tolerance.org praises Ayers, now a professor of education, as having “developed a rich vision of teaching that interweaves passion, responsibility and self-reflection,” and is described as “fighting for social justice.”

SPLC’s Tolerance.org, in a lesson in “multiculturalism” aimed at children, also recommends that students contact the radical United American Indians of New England (UAINE) that features on its Web site a letter of solidarity from convicted cop-killer Leonard Peltier to fellow cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal (a.k.a. Wesley Cook).  In 1977 Peltier was convicted of killing FBI agents Jack R. Coler and Ronald A. Williams on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Abu Jamal was convicted of the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.  Both are regarded as “political prisoners” by radical left-wingers.

Larry Grathwohl, an undercover FBI informant inside Ayers’ radical group, testified before the U.S. Senate that Ayers told him fellow radical (and Ayers’ future wife) Bernadine Dohrn planted a bomb with his knowledge at the San Francisco Park Police Station in 1970, killing Sgt. Brian McDonnell. Ayers denies Grathwohl’s claim.
In February 2009, leaders of the San Francisco Police Officers Association said there “are compelling reasons to believe Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn, members of the terrorist group, ‘Weather Underground’ are largely responsible for the bombing of Park Police Station,” and urged a “renewed effort ... to bring this case to a close.”

Ayers, who describes himself as a communist and dedicated his political manifesto, “Prairie Fire,” to Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan and other radicals, is unrepentant about his violent activities. He told the New York Times in 2001, “I don’t regret setting bombs.  I feel we didn’t do enough.”

Ayers

became an issue in the 2008 presidential campaign when his association with candidate Barack Obama was publicized.  The two lived in the same Chicago neighborhood, and worked together on a variety of local foundation-funded projects. Mayor Richard Daley confirmed that the two are friends, a description Obama never denied.

The FBI says it is not responsible for content on other people's Web sites.  But providing a link to a group that promotes the views of a radical terror bomber as well as another group friendly to convicted cop-killers,  is clearly in bad taste and stunningly insensitive to the families of  slain police, as well as to rank and file officers.    Nonetheless, in the new multicultural America, some police departments around the country, apparently including the FBI, rely on the SPLC for information about groups and individuals designated by the SPLC as “hate groups,” even if some have only criticized  federal immigration policies. 

SPLC was an active partner in the “Stop the Hate” campaign launched by the Hispanic chauvinist National Council of La Raza that demanded removing CNN’s Lou Dobbs from television.  The campaign also called for banning conservative columnist Pat Buchanan from TV.
