Lots of deceitful phrases in the above article that attempt to let Ayers off the hook:

Example: "Ayers was a co-founder of the Weather Underground, a radical anti-war group said responsible for a militant bombing campaign against government targets."

That description puts Ayers and the Weather Underground just a few steps beyond the Humane Society and the Boy Scouts.

In fact the WU was an explicitly violent Communist/Marxist group that (for the very reason of its credo of violence) broke off from the SDS to advocate mass murder and the complete and forcible destruction of American society and the American government.

IMO the live TV interview was much more direct and honest and critical of Ayers. He looked somewhat uncomfortable.

An online video of the entire interview is currently available the GMA we site:

Well, you have to understand, our terrorist government was murdering 2,000 innocent Vietnamese a week. So said Bill Ayers.

Would it have been so difficult to hold up the recent photo of Ayers stomping on Old Glory? Or ask him if he still calls himself a “small c communist?” Of if he expected no casualties from the twin nail bombs he designed to go off at the Fort Dix O-club dance?

Adding this to the AYERS and Weatherman Link Thread

The Weather Underground logo is nothing like the Obama logo right?

Obama's logo clearly matches the logo of the Weather Underground.

The Times They Are A-Changin’

Come gather ‘round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it is ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.

"The content of the Vietnam protest is that there were despicable acts going on, but the despicable were being done by our goverment... I never hurt anyone," Ayers said.
"Frankly, I dont think we did enough, just as today I dont' think we've done enough to stop these wars"

Drip, drip, drip...

Ayers should have been tried and hung for what he did. He is lucky to still be wasting oxygen.

Ayers writes exactly that (”family friends”) in his book.

Ayers became a bogeyman ...

Yeah, that's what the MSM used to say about Timothy McVeigh - they said he was a "bogeyman" for the Clintons...

The only good thing about biased, bigoted, brain-dead, one-sided reporting is it's one more lay-off down the road...

Well, their limp symbol is better (and more representative for a little wimp like Ayers) than the Weather”men’s” three finger sign, which Mrs. William Ayers, then trash-terrorist Bernadine Dohrn, hailed as representing the Manson Gang’s fork that they stuck in their innocent victims’ stomachs. As Mrs. Ayers then said, “Dig it!!”, not mentioning of course, that one of the “pigs” she said Manson murdered was a near-term baby. Wonder if Chris Cuomo asked this scumbag about that? Doubt it.

My comparison was not meant to critique the Boy Scouts (heck, I was one!) but to point out the puffery in the written summation of the TV interview above.

It’s a gem of flackery and a shameless puff piece IMO.

Here is the web link:

Ayers calls Obama 'a family friend'

Looks like Ayres is taking Obama's advice to "get in their face."

I didn't see that until you pointed it out - but now I'll never NOT be able to see it. Thanks. /s

What's your take on the Obama symbol? Do they look like they "go together"?

He has admitted in public that he “got away with it.”

The case was dropped on a technicality (FBI evidence procedures).

Yes, he should be in prison.

But Ayer’s father was a **very** prominent and influential man in Chicago.....

Here's the truth:

Obama’s Foul Weather Friends

American Thinker link

On March 6, 1970, three members of Weatherman were killed when a powerful bomb they were constructing exploded prematurely. The device had been made from dynamite, wrapped with roofing nails to maximize casualties. Its intended target was a dance for noncommissioned officers and their dates scheduled for that evening at Fort Dix. [snip]

Larry Grathwohl, an undercover FBI agent who infiltrated Weatherman, later testified that Ayers had identified Bernadine Dohrn as the person who bombed a San Francisco police station in February 1970, killing one officer and injuring two others. [snip]

... 13 sticks of dynamite that the group placed in a Detroit police officers’ association building ... [assembled by Ayers] “Bill [Ayers] said that we should plan our bombing to coincide with the time when there would be the most people in those buildings.”

Bernadine Dohrn made numerous contacts with Fidel Castro’s Cuban Mission at the UN [snip]

After returning from Cuba, Dohrn and others met with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong representatives in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss antiwar strategy on US campuses. [snip]

[She sent SDS out to coordinate with North Vietnam and Castro.]

Now for the zinger:

As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. [snip]

Sick, sick puppies. Sick SOBs — the most hideous couple I’ve ever heard of. I never thought I’d find a couple more detestable than the Clintons. Now I have — Ayers and Dorhn. Freaking creeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
