Re-emerging from his self-imposed silence, Ayers is trying to escape the negative stigma of his violent past by arguing that he was much less violent than the U.S. government. Here he again attacks the government (in the form of the prison system) for what it does to people that implicitly match his view of himself: folks who have good excuses for violence, crime and anti-social behavior. In Ayers' view, these people don't belong in prison any more than he does.

“Billie” (as in a man that has no manly traits) had to sneak into his book signing event at the All Souls Unitarian Church, even with 3 police officers standing by the main entrance. He was a wussy when he sent out his sheeple to bomb and kill Americans, and he still is a wussy. Kristinn put up a thread alerting him to our protest and that could have been one reason that he moved his event to the church. When the manager of Busboys and Poets Terrorists establishment saw us on the sidewalk, he quickly showed us a flyer...

"It was a manifesto to all prisoners, and if I were writing a book like that today, I would dedicate it to 2.1 million people in prison. I think it was a stupid thing to single him out but, I also think that we have created a monster in the prison system."

Via Breitbart, a paean to Hopenchange from two cretins well known for their activities in Chicago’s parks. At long last, we get to hear the dulcet tone in which the words “Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!” were so famously uttered. It’s everything I dreamed it would be.

Friday, November 14: • We'll have reaction and analysis of Bill Ayers' interview with 'Good Morning America'

In a television interview on ABC's Good Morning America, the college professor disputed the contention that in the new afterword of a paperback edition of his 2001 memoir Fugitive Days, he described himself and Mr Obama as "family friends". "I'm describing there how the blogosphere characterised the relationship," Mr Ayers said. "I would really say that we knew each other in a professional way, again on the same level as say thousands of other people." Mr Ayers, an education professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago, helped found the radical group the Weathermen that carried out bombings at the Pentagon and...

William Ayres emerged from his pre-election seclusion to appear on Good Morning in America today. Strangely enough the producers of the show felt that all of the controversy surrounding the relationship between Obama and Ayres didn’t warrant any investigation or interview, but the release of a new collection of lies and anti-American propaganda penned by Ayres did. Is there any thinking American left who cannot see the insidious nature of the press and their sycophantic coverage of their chosen candidate? Make no mistake; the media hoisted this character on the nation through their lies, omissions, and distortions and they should...

November 14, 2008 Honesty not an Obama policy Paul Miller Senator, President-elect or President, regardless of his Honorable title, I am not going to sugar-coat the anger I feel toward Barack Obama at this moment. The irony of the situation is that my feelings are based on something that I already knew was true. Sometimes when reality is so disturbing, even the brightest minds will hold out for any indication that they may be wrong. When their beliefs are confirmed, it just makes everything that much worse. My soon to be President looked America in the eye and lied about...

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,...

Via Ace. The bad news? Obama was lying to us when he dismissed Ayers at the debate as merely “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.” The good news? We already knew that, thanks to Axelrod and Mayor Daley. Anyway, belated confirmation.

Now that Barack Obama is safely elected, people like Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers no longer have to remain silent, and the media are suddenly interested in them. Former Weather Underground terrorist Ayers will appear tomorrow [FRIDAY, 11/14/08] on Good Morning America.

In a new afterword to his memoir, 1960s radical William Ayers describes himself as a "family friend" of President-elect Barack Obama and writes that the campaign controversy over their relationship was an effort by Obama's political enemies to "deepen a dishonest narrative" about the candidate. Ayers describes phone threats and hate e-mail he received during the campaign, and he bemoans Obama's guilt by association. During the campaign, Ayers' friendship with Obama was a favorite subject of conservative bloggers and talk show hosts who insisted the two were closer than the candidate was admitting. Ayers' new description of the relationship seems...

William Ayers has written a new afterword to his old book. He reveals that he and Obama were family friends. He also reveals some of his involvement in Obama's early political career. In summary, he proves what we already knew. Obama is a liar. In a new afterword to his memoir, 1960s radical William Ayers writes that the campaign controversy over their relationship was an effort by Obama's political enemies to "deepen a dishonest narrative" about the candidate. “We had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fund-raiser...

The right photo isn't even Ayres. The interview will probably be just as accurate: In his first first television interview since he became the center of controversy in the Presidential race, Chicago activist Williams Ayers breaks his silence in an exclusive interview with Chris Cuomo on Friday's "Good Morning America." Ayers, a leader of 60s radical group the Weathermen, became a political lightning rod over past associations with president-elect Barack Obama. In his first exclusive interview, Ayers talks about the re-issue of his 2001 memoir "Fugitive Days" and his journey from privileged youth to 60s radical.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, two men whose reputations had dogged the Obama campaign this year, met for the first time this weekend at a "State of the Black Union" event at Northwestern University , where Wright was the keynote speaker, the Daily Northwestern reports. The event was hosted by the black student group For Members Only, which invited Wright to speak after Northwestern rescinded an honorary doctorate the university planned to give the Trinity United Church of Christ pastor. The group also invited Ayers—the Weather Underground founder—to attend because it was "only fitting," considering the pair's treatment...

For months, two figures dogged Barack Obama's presidential campaign: the candidate's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. and his Hyde Park neighbor, 1960s radical William Ayers. Three days after Obama gave his victory speech in Grant Park, the two appeared together in a venue other than a negative campaign ad. Wright delivered the keynote address at For Members Only's "State of the Black Union" event Friday night. Ayers was a VIP guest of FMO, joining 900 people inside a packed Cahn Auditorium. Ayers, who now teaches at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said he met Wright for the...

In case you care… "For nine months, I kept quiet," Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said today at Mosque Maryam in Chicago, "because I saw that the good words that I spoke about this beautiful young man" -- President-elect Obama -- "at our Saviours' Day convention and the way they were misused. I decided it would be better for me to just be quiet rather than be drawn into the controversy that was swirling around his pastor, Father Pfleger, and others." "I feel freer today to say the things that are in my heart," said the controversial religious leader....
