Ayers: My Bombings Were Totally Different From the Ones in Boston By Jim Geraghty May 6, 2013 9:12 AM

Oh, look who’s in the news again:

Bill Ayers says people can’t equate the bombings that he and others in the Weather Underground did 40 or so years ago with the April 15 twin bombings in Boston that killed three people.

There is no relationship at all between what Weather Underground members did and the bombings that two brothers allegedly committed on April 15 in Massachusetts, Ayers said in response to a reporter’s question. No one died in the Weather Underground bombings.

Wrong. “Three Weathermen are killed when bomb manufacturing goes awry. The organization becomes the Weather Underground as key players including Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers and Kathy Boudin go into hiding… Kathy Boudin resurfaces to participate in an armed robbery in Nanuet, New York, which results in the shooting deaths of three men.”

Ayers goes on to say…

“How different is the shooting in Connecticut from shooting at a hunting range?” Ayers said. “Just because they use the same thing, there’s no relationship at all.”

First, it’s good to see that Ayers sees the futility of cracking down on lawful, responsible gun owners because of the actions of the Newtown shooter. Secondly, show me the safe, responsible use of a pipe bomb.

U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., committed daily war crimes in Vietnam “and I get asked about violence when what I did was some destruction of property to issue a scream and cry against an illegal war in which 6,000 people a week are being killed,” Ayers said. “Six thousand a week being killed and I destroyed some property. Show me the equivalence. You should ask John McCain that question … I’m against violence.”

“I’m against violence,” said the bomb-builder. Finally, the reporter covering the event feels the need to point out the glaring gaps in Ayers’ story of himself as a misunderstood hero:

In his talk to the crowd, Ayers mentioned that in 1970, he lost three friends in the Weather Underground, including his lover, Diana Oughton. He did not explain in his talk how they died – they were killed when nail bombs they were making in a Greenwich Village townhouse blew up.

Telling the crowd the circumstances of those deaths would have been “inappropriate,” Ayers said afterward. “Everybody here knows,” he said.

Authorities said the bombs were intended to be used at a dance at the Fort Dix Army base in New Jersey.

But remember, Bill Ayers is totally, totally different from the Boston bombers, honest!

Ayers recently elaborated on his relationship with Barack Obama and his political allies earlier in life:

David Axelrod said we were friendly, that was true; we served on a couple of boards together, that was true; he held a fundraiser in our living room, that was true; Michelle [Obama] and Bernardine were at the law firm together, that was true. Hyde Park in Chicago is a tiny neighborhood, so when he said I was “a guy around the neighborhood,” that was true.

As Ben Smith summarized, “Ayers and Dohrn, who have been semi-officially rehabilitated in Chicago but still inspire a wide range of feelings, played a modest but real part in launching Obama’s political career.”

Surely Satan was looking out for Ayers’ more valuable future as an educator

Perhaps it's due to where we are on the Timeline, but it seems that evil has taken a special interest in the children of the generation that beat it back in Europe, who freed God's chosen and restored Israel, thus turning the page to start the last chapter of the story we were born into.

It's weed pulling season here and I see Ayers as one of those weeds that dumps an extraordinary number of seeds into the garden. If you don't pull it out before it dumps its cargo, those seeds will sprout and grow fast, quickly taking territory. Maybe even take over.

Ayers grew from the same variety of seeds Satan planted in Europe throughout the 1800s, as well as here in America, which grew to produce the fruit of two world wars in 50 years.

Perhaps it just has taken longer for Satan to prepare the gardens here such that the evil Ayers is here to do could sprout and grow. Perhaps Satan has focused a special vengeance upon the children and their children of that greatest generation God gave temporary safe dominion as a consequence of cleaning up Satan's mess.

The soil is always right, but Satan must first disable His gardeners along with their will to tend his gardens and watch over His flocks, so to speak.

Now is the time that Gardeners-R-Us needs our help, before the weeds take over.

In the country we used to be, a weed like Ayers would have been pulled quickly and tossed into the compost pile, long before it could dump seeds.

Instead, we curiously watch silently, unable to speak or unable to hear or unable to see, while we let weeds take over the garden.

It all has a preternatural or supernatural feel, but I sense that the spell is soon to be broken. The Prayer Warriors have broken through the front lines. Let the battle begin!

I was thinking the same thing.

From his statements it’s almost sounds to me at least as if he’s attempting to distance the Weather Underground from the Boston bombing.

****No one died in the Weather Underground bombings. ****

Except those who accidentally blew themselves up wit a bomb packed with nails that they had planned to plant at an Army dance.

Please elaborate, Mr.Ayers. What kind if person would do such a thing?
