  Ayers threw bombs, Rev. Right served in the Marines

  My first encounter with Ayers was when he attacked me, yelling that I'm a CIA agent-- only after one of his ilk grabbed me from behind. But hey, that was forty years ago. In the end he and his wife made the most of their wealthy resources to escape liability for their their infantile bourgeois revolution...fine, case closed. That he now has a social conscience is most welcome. Obama became the man in the arena while Ayers plays it safe in a " campus sandbox" (what at UC Berkley in the 60s) with tenure. Obama's "God Damn America" pastor did not throw bombs like Ayers but instead served in the US Marines. So, Rev. Wright is a real American hero who earned his disappointment with HIS America the hard way, not the rich punk way of "Weathermen." So let's all take more seriously Rev. Wright-- instead of Ayers-- and look into why he lost faith in this great nation, for he did more for America than most of his critics.

  God smiled on America, forgave us and Ayers, was understanding to Wright, and gave us a national salvation: PRESIDENT BARAK OBAMA. A real Communist, Betina Aptheker led the FSM at Berkeley in 1964 and called for "meaningful dialogue" instead of "red revolution" as Ayers did. Had we stayed devoted to that, we might have avoided the whole Bush-it era. But now let's all unite to make America Red-White-Blue-and GREEN again. Let's not forget but let's forgive. I forgive Palin for being so stupid but not Bush for being so criminally negligent as an "un-decider," letting Rumsfeld make war.
