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.

    Shame-Is Charles Manson next on the list?

    Salon, Shapiro and all the slime balls who see this as a positive interview make me sick. The voices of the American dead killed by this unrepentant terrorist and his wife (another terrorist) are still crying out. It is hard to fathom how any half intelligent person having a heart can actually make a positive comment about this interview. It is really mind numbing.

    It is one thing for someone to make amends for the crimes that were done but this man and his wife have never made amends. Still to this day and in this interview they are holding the same line about their dirty deeds. With every ounce of their being they would do whatever had to be done about the Vietnam war. Why not Iraq then? That is not our war either and they know it if they use the same standards. So, maybe we should be watching them?

    What a job Salon is trying to do on friends of Obama. I guess that Rev. Wright will be interviewed next and his hate for America will be a result of the injustice of naming the US after Americo instead of after Columbus? Why not? It is just as good as the white washing that Salon is doing with Ayers. But, what can one expect. Osama is no longer Osama bin Laden. Now he is Usama bin Laden. We have already started to change history. To the victor go the spoils and to future generations go the lies.

    But while you smug folks pat yourself on the back I for one will no longer be reading Salon. Shapiro, sorry that I will not be there for the transformation of Manson. I know, good riddance. (How do you people sleep at night? Can you spell conscience? ) This has nothing to do with politics!
