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.

    @Beth Greenholt-

    Try being a little less smarmy, OK?

    Mai Lai was an anomaly, OK? The rest of us (not withstanding the bullshit self-proclaimed hero- rich brat, Kerry) served honorably, OK?

    And, Walter Map, you are the smelliest turd here. What you know about America boils down to constant arrogant, self referential carping. Something tells me you are a lawyer. Personal Injury? Union? Family Law? Bet you've made a killing on make believe grievances. Great country, right?

    I am not threatening anyone. I hope Obama turns out to be the centrist he said he would be when he was running, and I enjoy the obvious pride and gratitude most of the blacks I know and see in my daily life are feeling. It is a wonderful thing, if you hip, chic, radical libs do not squander it.

    I am just saying, you pretentious turd, don't denigrate this great country which millions of living veterans preserved with our blood sweat and tears, you little turd,

    We don't like that. We vote too, you know.

    The possibility that Obamanation will create some kind of civilian service for brainwashed youth "doing service" is kind of disturbing to people like me. What "service" will they do, Walter dear? Show up in uniform in great numbers to cheer for the Great Leader? Would they be armed in times of great challenge and stress, Walter?

    The possibility that they will shut down talk radio with bullshit "fairness doctrine" crap is also disturbing. Isn't it enough that the major media, Time, Newsweek, NYT, Washington Post, Atlanta Constipation, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN is already in the kool aid tank with you, Walter Map?

    If you overreach with your left wing bullshit, Walter, who knows what that might happen?
