Video - William Ayers, family friend, on Good Morning America 11-14-08
~~~
Obama associate and family friend Bill Ayers is still unapologetic for his domestic acts of terrorism. ABC reported:
Breaking his silence, Ayers told Chris Cuomo on "Good Morning America" today that the GOP attack was a "dishonest narrative...to demonize me."
He added, "I don't buy the idea that guilt by association should have any part of our politics," he said.
Ayers scoffed at the Republican effort to make his ties to Obama appear suspicious.
"This idea that we need to know more, like there's some dark, hidden secret, some secret link," Ayers said. "It's a myth thrown up by people who want to exploit the politics of fear."
But he was unapologetic about his militant actions during the Vietnam War.
"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," he told "GMA."
The co-founder of the Weather Underground was, as McCain has claimed, unrepentant about the the bombings his group committed during the 1960s.
"The content of the Vietnam protest is that there were despicable acts going on, but the despicable acts were being done by our goverment... I never hurt or killed anyone," Ayers said.
"Frankly, I dont think we did enough, just as today I dont' think we've done enough to stop these wars," he said.
Ayers, 63, currently a distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, became a political piñata for McCain, R-Ariz., and Palin during the presidential campaign.
Despite Obama's attempt to portray their relationship as a distant one, Ayers, in a new afterward to his book "Fugitive Days," describes Obama as a "neighbor and family friend."
Note: also on the link after the video, there is this as the 2nd headline:
Friday, November 14, 2008 - Obama Will Skip His Grandmother's Memorial Today
Bill Ayers, former 1960's terrorist, listens to Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. speak ((last week)) at Northwestern University during an event hosted by Northwestern's Black Student Alliance.
More... Barack Obama and Bill Ayers shared an office address for several years in Chicago.
The radical leftist media sucking up to the tyrannical, criminal friends of Obama. Expect a lot of it.
Gee, did the GMA host bother to ask Ayers why he dedicated his 70’s book “Prairie Fire” to Sirhan Sirhan, RFK’s assassin?
bump
Did they ask about the open investigation in CA into the death of a policeman? The one that probably was carried out by his wife?
LOL! Quite a statement from a terrorist! Of course it went unchallenged.
How is Ayers different from McVeigh? He is not different—he is a domestic terrorist and deserves the same treatment.
In the future, remember that the Activism sidebar is reserved for News/Activism of the FR chapters. Not this.
Despicable human beings gravitating to other despicable human beings. Evil attracts evil, just like good attracts good.
When is justice going to be done for his crimes???
I’m sorry .. clicked the wrong news category.
Thanks for letting me know.
Why is Ayers still alive? Where is the justice against his horrible crimes? He should be executed for his crimes.
Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, and Jeff Jones wrote that book dedicated to an assassin.
In 2006, the same trio wrote, "SING A BATTLE SONG" in which they collected all "The Revolutionary Poetry, Statements, and Communiqus of the Weather Underground" and relived the good old days.
These people haven't changed their beliefs. And Obama in in lock step with them.
The Weather Underground killed four people. So it was 40 years ago. It took almost 40 years, but the Feds managed to bring to justice one of the bombers who killed the four little girls killed in Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church.
They should reopen those murder cases from scratch so no tainted evidence is involved and bring Dorhn and Ayers to justice.
does anyone have the link to an earlier article today on how long obama served in the Senate before declaring for president.?? It was a great post
It would be worth whatever consequences.
Tell that to the families of:
SFPD Patrolman Brian McDonnellNyak Police Officer Edward O'Grady
Nyak Police Officer Waverly Brown
Brinks Armored Car Guard Peter Paige
Uh, you just wanted others to do the killing for you, didn't you Bill? I know, because I was at one of your Weather Underground recruitment houses, with it Marxist lit, and pamplets on making bombs and how to kill cops...
Really? If a Republican merely once stood on the same subway platform as David Duke did it would be disqualifying to these guys. "Guilt by association" is something the government may not do in criminal prosecutions. Individuals who do not form some opinion about others by the company they keep are idiots.
ML/NJ
He states it was because our government was murdering THOUSANDS of people every week
Not even using the softer “killing”, the United States of America was murdering thousands per week.
Thank goodness he was a little baby trust fund baby during WW11
