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.

    Interesting but evasive.

    Yes or no, do you think it's a good idea to bomb the pentagon to 'wake up' the establishment?

    Seems like a simple question. The fact that he talks about his regrets, about being against Vietnam (as if he was the only one), and how he's pro peace, etc, doesn't justify his actions to me.

    BTW, I'm against war as much as you are Bill, just don't like rich boys turned terrorists turned self aggrandazing profs. What a cliche.

    Your dipshit friends deserved to blow themselves up.
