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.

    Fun with wingnuts:

    Zoltan Newberry and Juan are two of the most ridiculous people I have read in this whole thread.

    Ridiculous, as in, "deserving of ridicule". You've never posted with maptwo0 or jgg1000a. Now those guys are ridiculous. Zoltan and Juan are junior varsity.

    They keep skipping around, blasting their RushO'Reilly propaganda like it is the truth, and calling people names like "turd" and "pervert".

    So far they've only issued some thinly-veiled death threats, and no promises of mass exterminations of libruls. Maybe they're working their way up to it.

    If they aren't poster children for what is wrong with the Republican party I don't know what is.

    Republicans figure they can win next time by being even more vicious and extreme.

    Amazing that they don't even realize how stupid and vitriolic they come off.

    Another side effect to rejecting reality.

    The only good thing is that when this thread is closed their comments will be wiped off this

    I hope not. They're excellent examples of radical right-wing viciousness and extremism. Their own words can always be used against them.

    Fantastic Article, by the way.

    If Ayers isn't nominated to become Secretary of Education maybe he can get a blog on Salon.
