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.

    Is it not strange how Ayers to this day denounces the American ways and the American injustice?

    Not at all. Bush gives everybody plenty to denounce.

    Don't you wish everybody would just shut up about the Bush administration's military imperialism, rapacity, lying, greed, cover-ups, smear campaigns, torture camps, crimes of treason, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and assorted genocidal screw-ups?

    If anything, Bush's injustices have been insufficiently denounced, and not yet prosecuted at all.
