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.

I was not there

I think some are missing the point of this interview.

The focus should be on the question of the day, Obama's relationship with Ayers. Both men basically said the same thing

regarding their association. We can judge Ayer's actions all we want, but that should not be any reflection on our President elect OBAMA's views one way or another. As Ayer said something to the fact that 2008 election will be probably the last election concerned about heroes or velins of the 1960's war.

Let leave the past to historians and focus on the future.
