Bill Ayers talks back

Sarah Palin called him a terrorist, Barack Obama called him an acquaintance. A Salon editor who knew Ayers back when talks to the ex-Weather Underground member turned Republican talking point.

I still don't get it.

Throughout the campaign I kept hearing about this terrorist Bill Ayers and kept wondering why the police or homeland security didn't pick this guy up??? For heaven's sake, if he is that dangerous, how could he be running free? Now that he is interviewing with the press, I still keep looking for the big story of how he was arrested and tried and found guilty. Was he just some "big-mouth" on the left, like a lefty Limbaugh wannabe, or did he really commit terrorist acts? I'll never understand the rage of voters who were influenced by this story when voting for president, but never shouted for his arrest or demanded be taken away to guantanamo at least.
