This is a very interesting interview, Thanks! ... having been a teenager at the time, I remember the news reports about the Weather Underground. I also remember all the protesting by everyone else I knew, including myself, as I watched my fellow male students being sent to Vietnam involuntarily. It was a terrible terrible time.
I was shocked and disturbed by McCain and Palin dragging Ayers tenuous relationship with Obama into the election, like it was some "evil" secret conspiracy that the two of them had. I personally think that McCain and Palin need to apologize to Ayers, Obama, and the American public about this misrepresentation and slander. What distresses me, is that Palin STILL is talking about Obama "palin' around with the terrorist Ayers" ... like it is somehow true that Obama has the same opinions as everyone he has ever met, and that Ayers is some out of control Domestic Terrorist and not a university professor.
