William Ayers, that "washed-up" terrorist pal of Socialist presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama, popped up in New York City yesterday for the first time since becoming an inflammatory McCain camp talking point. He was in town Sunday for a symposium on "educational justice" at the Stella Adler acting studio. Ayers is a professor at the University of Illinois but in the '60s was a founder of radical group the Weather Underground; in 1995 Ayers held a fund-raiser for Obama's State Senate campaign, and the two later served on the boards of Chicago philanthropies.
At yesterday's event, moderator Leonard Lopate introduced Ayers and then wondered, "Does this mean I can’t run for president?" According to the Times, Ayers quipped, "It means you can win." The discussion mainly stayed on topic, with Ayers urging educators to help students become activists: "In a democracy, we educate for citizenship. Not for obedience of authority, but for participation." But when he did address his current notoriety, Ayers seized the opportunity to tear into Fox News, saying "Bill O'Reilly comes on his show and first thing he says is, 'Why won't this Ayers story die?' And then he spends 10 minutes talking about it."
Earlier this month, the University of Nebraska rescinded an invitation to Ayers to speak on its campus after the election. (The Wall Street Journal huzzahed.) After yesterday's symposium, Ayers quickly fled a scrum of reporters without comment. But before he left, one woman in the audience asked, "What happened to the revolution?” Ayers told her the Republicans stole it in '94 and asked the crowd, "Can we imagine another world?"

I guess he likes cocking his head to the right like that?
Meanwhile, Gothamist. How about some coverage of yesterday's U.S. raid on country Syria:
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g-DU03_7uREXjwO1-MXrVvOYv9VQD942TL6O2
This is the type of raid Obama has endorsed in the debates, right? Seems like O sides with Bush pretty often...
Holy Crap! he's White!
Right, longacre... I guess Gothamist thinks we need more photo spreads of Palin's wardrobe. THAT is really important to NYers!
It's one thing to post a news article on something that, even though isn't just a NEW YORK topic, but still applies to us (Palin stuff, etc.). The Syria thing isn't near as local enough, and you (NYCSniper) or just a whiny fuck looking for reasons to complain.
GTFO, STFU and all those other abbreviated internet lingo comments.
Most of Palin's $150,000 spending spree probably came back to New York designers. WIN!
NYCSniper is just mad that the McCain-Palin ticket is imploding...
Ayers? who cares...
Lets talk about McCain's ties and close friendship with G. Gordon Liddy who ironically, during the Nixon years, was a chief operative for the White House Plumbers unit.
"This is the type of raid Obama has endorsed in the debates, right? Seems like O sides with Bush pretty often..."
LOL.. are you trying to recreate the hilarious Tara Wall piece? That's really all you've got?
Just because you can find a few issues where, broadly and from 100 miles up, Bush and Obama agree, it does not mean that they, in John McCain's words, "share a common philosophy".
Could you guys please fucking fix the error where links appear properly in preview, but do not post correctly? The link is:

Once a leftist ass wad always a leftist ass wad.
Sorry. I hear OBama in the debates say he wouldn't think twice about a military strike against a sovereign country. Yet I'm pretty sure he voted against that. Or was that the time he just voted "present"? Of course, Obama AND McCain voted for the failing Bush bailout. Some lame duck. I prefer mine warm.
And Dirk, we'll see who laughs last. I'm not voting for McCain/Palin, so save your breath.
All I know is, they won't get me ALIVE! "I'M FUCKING INNOCENT!" I'll be going out with suitcase-safes full of cold hard cash, guns blazing.
BTW: This is what I was talking about in a previous post. Watch all the lefties all of a sudden get hawkish.
So, the guy is a cretin.. or was a cretin... but I'll got with "still is a cretin" since he doesn't seem very sorry for the damage his group did or wanted to do.
But one thing I find very interesting is that he is always described as saying, "I wished we had bombed more" on 9/11. I always assumed this was in reaction to the other bombings of the day, but I just found out that the quote was from a months-old interview that just happened to be published on 9/11.
So, seems to me this is just another example of Republican exploiting 9/11 for gain. They could say, "In an interview from the summer of 2001, he said.." but no.. they always say, "In the New York Times on 9/11, he said.."
Small point.. still a cretin.
"Yet I'm pretty sure he voted against that. Or was that the time he just voted "present"?"
Actually, as you people used to be fond of pointing out back before you were so desperate, Obama never voted on the war, as he was not in the Senate at the time.
Not to mention the obvious fact that a military strike on terrorists is not a full-scale invasion, but as I alluded to previously, when you look at issues from outer space, you'll find that Bush, Obama and McCain agree on just about everything. Water is wet, sky is blue, meat is tasty, etc etc..
Dirk is just mad because he hasn't had the opportunity to service Obama yet.
Bill Ayers was a brilliant Democratic plant sent in to distract Republicans from the issues that could have led to a McCain victory. It was a complete success: the stupid fucks fell for the poisoned red meat and now Obama is cruising to the White house.
