Now that Barack Obama has won the election, his terrorist pal William Ayers has agreed to accept the highly coveted post of Secretary of Flag Burning! Also too, Ayers was on Good Morning America today to plug a new edition of his book, Fugitive Days—and hey, who could blame the guy for cashing in on his renewed notoriety? Unlike his previous New York appearance, Ayers talked plenty his seditious relationship with Obama, while also defending his radical past:
"The content of the Vietnam protest is that there were despicable acts going on, but the despicable acts were being done by our government...I killed no one, and I harmed no one, and I didn't regret for a minute resisting the murderous assault on Vietnam with every ounce of my being.Now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Ayers co-founded the Weather Underground, a group that claimed responsibility for a dozen bombings from 1970 to 1974. During the interview, Ayers also blasted the "neocon media machine" for using him to "exploit the politics of fear...I don't buy the idea that guilt by association should have any part of our politics...I'm talking there about the fact that I became an issue, unwillingly and unwittingly. It was a profoundly dishonest narrative."Frankly, I don't think we did enough, just as today I don't think we've done enough to stop these wars. What you call the violent past, that was a time when thousands of people were being murdered every month by our own government... We were on the right side."
Obama and Ayers previously served on boards together and lived nearby in Chicago, but the President-elect insisted throughout the campaign that their contact was minimal, while also condemning Ayers's past as "detestable." On GMA, Ayers confirmed that he was barely an acquaintance of Obama: "I would say, really, that we knew each other in a professional way on the same level of, say, thousands of other people."

This guy, like reverend wright, needs to be muzzled.
what would one call his style of dress?
God Bless you Weatherman.
^ I would call it "South Park prof"
What is the definition of irony again?
"We knew it was wrong. We knew it was illegal. We knew it was immoral," he said, but the group's members felt they "had to do more" to stop the Vietnam War.
He urged people today "to participate in resistance, in nonviolent, direct action" to stop the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
that we knew each other in a professional way on the same level of, say, thousands of other people.
Exactly, this is why the "issue" has been so dumb. You run for office. Your opponent (Hillary!) hires a team to comb through your records and look at every single person you've associated with. And they find this one guy, and just hammer away at it.
Think about what they would do with your life. Who amongst your family, friends, or co-workers throughout your whole career has some controversial secret.
And yet, it played. I've met people on the street in the neighborhood who honestly cited Ayers as a reason to not like Obama. It's so foolish.
5: You're right and yet McCain ACTIVELY lobbied for the FHLBB to go easy on Charles Keating. Still no one questions John McCain's judgement.
that's because of the liberal media bias.
that damn liberal media. those liberal NY Times.
Qwite a 'unique' neighborhood where President-elect OBAMA 'lived' in CHICAGO wasn't it??? Residents and 'friends' of Mr. OBAMA + his family included Mr. WILLIAM AYERS + his common-law wife, Miss BERNADETTE DORN, both being at times wanted fugitives, murderers, MARXIST anarchists and terrorists. President-elect OBAMA's circle also included Mr. KHALIDI a virulent proponent of extreme PALESTINIAN so-called 'rights' raising money to arm these various militant 'whackadoos' - and his exhortations to "...kill all Zionists and JEWS that illegally inhabit Palestine"!!! President-elect OBAMA was 'helped' to obtain a house in this neighborhood by one TONY REZKO - now indicted, convicted on various counts of fraud and diverse felonies who also lived in this area. ADD to this President-elect OBAMA's personal minister, the REVEREND JIM WRIGHT; who preached for 20 years the polemics of hate WHITEY, hate the JEWS, hate the ZIONISTS, hate AMERIKA and its legacy of hate - [which President-elect OBAMA obviously was unaware of or was not terribly 'troubled' by these expositions?] A 'TRUER' PICTURE OF THIS DIVERSE CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOD OF 'BUDS' SEEMS TO EMERGE!!! By the way did that fine fellow AL CAPONE once live in this area too??? Ha.
Wow, some people can't let it go that the election is over...
Just like those mimeographed pages guys in sneakers and sock hats used to hand out in the subway, right down to the overworked caps lock key. Now they can go worldwide on the internet.
Don't worry Zaj, I read on TEH INTERNETS that the FORCED LABOR CAMPS being planned for all WHITEYS and JEWS in HUSSEIN OBAMA'S AMERIKA are going to SERVE DELICIOUS SOY LATTES and they're even going to let prisoners keep THEIR TIN FOIL HATS!
I get confused, how many "K's" in AmeriKa?
and do we get the backwards upside down flag to go with it?
Zaj, better break out the tin foil hat, otherwise the black helicopters will find you....
He is old and will die soon....good riddance.
@Zaj Bernadine Dohrn actually.
zaj has given me a new perspective of hyde park
I think this has been demonstrated to be a non-story.
John and Jacque, I may be wrong, but I recall seeing 2 K's, ie Amerikka.
Again, I may be wrong.
Of course, by zaj's standards we'd all be screwed if we wanted to run for public office. "Ah yes, TooTallJeff, who lived for a time in PARK SLOPE, birthplace of the LESBIAN AVENGERS..." Imagine having to answer for your whole 'hood.

My point is when he dies I will be happy to piss on his grave.
You scum better watch that hate there
The fact that the GOP traitors were whining about this man whom they dont even understand just to gain in the polls is one thing
They will reap what they sow and be tried and hanged as the traitors tour great nation as all those involved in the last 8 years of GOP politics
But you can watch what you say, you are of the masses and have the possibility to know better
Be a Patriot to this great land as Bill Ayers was once
Not a traitor that deserves the noose
USA

Last spring you didn't know who he was and didn't care.
You hate because McCain had nothing else to offer but fear itself.
Former Federal Prosecutor Debunks Ayers Link
William C. Ibershof, who in 1973 tried to convict William Ayers, a founding member of the Weather Underground, is 'amazed and outraged' over John McCain's attempts to raise doubts about Barack Obama.

Give it a rest already.
William Ayers, a founding member of the Weather Underground,
Fuck him and all of his leftist supporters.
The "Vietnam Myth" MUST be upheld. Men and women were forcibly drafted under threat of being imprisoned and or fined to fight an undeclared war against an opponent thousands of miles from any American border- trying to resist French Colonialism like we resisted Brittish colonialism. Any critique of the Myth's constructed has to be suppressed.
