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 must give you credit, Juan,

    You have got to be one of the most thick-headed wingnuts to come along here in a while. I guess that's something to be proud of...

    "Were you ever nice?" - No. Not to you.

    "That is another liberal delusion." - How do you know I'm a liberal?

    "I made my point about the article that is a disgrace." - Believe me, you should have stopped there.

    "A personal argument with you will get us nowhere." - Then go away, please.

    "After all for there to be somebody called The Messiah there must be believers; obviously you are one of them." - This is the sort of stupid shit that disqualifies everything else you say.

    One last question for you, because you're getting to be quite a bore:

    Since we don't know who you are, can you prove to us that you are not a terrorist? I don't care if you have no record of criminal or terrorist activity - that doesn't prove that you will not ever in the future commit a terrorist act. What proof do you have that you will never become a terrorist? Since you cannot prove that you will never commit a terrorist act, is it then safe to assume that you are a terrorist - you know, to allow us to take necessary pre-emptive measures?

    Cheers.
