"It all depends on whether hate blinds you!"

-- Juan Enrique

You must mean the kind of hatred that lies in the hearts and minds of the most morally bankrupt administration in US history - the Bush Administration. I'm not pro-killing, that's more the province of devoutly religious folks like Republicans.

Maybe to you blowing the heads, arms, and legs off men, women, children, babies -- burning them to death with chemical weaponry, destroying their infrastructure (from their homes to their water supply) -- the young, the old, infants, toddlers, innocent people all – is no big deal, or someone else's fault, or whatever "convenient justification" you give yourself for the over one million dead and displaced people killed by the terrorist madman in the White House.

It would have been nice while Saddam Hussein was Ronnie Reagan's friend & freedom fighter throughout the 80’s (by the way, explain how the Reagan/Rumsfeld/Bush ties to Hussein isn’t a thousand times worse than any ties between Ayers & Obama?), and he was slaughtering Iraqis with not only the Reagan administration's overt blessings, but also with the Reagan administration's chemical weapons, that the johnny-come-lately's who today rail about Hussein’s “mass graves” poo-pooed those crazy leftists like me saying we didn't want our tax dollars going to fund a homicidal maniac. Only to have George W Bush come along 12 years after Reagan to pick up the Hussein franchise, and torture & murder more Iraqis than Saddam could have ever imagined to have done in 5 & 1/2 years.

I know those inconvenient truths are not acknowledged on the sources you get your news from (which probably includes an unhealthy dose of the propaganda from the foreign-owned FOX network) and none of that bothers you as long as reality is avoided like the plague from the sources you go to.

Apparently, if the terrorism is committed under the auspices of christianity or republicanism then it's not as bad as those committed under the auspices of Islam.

"You said Ayers did not kill anyone but surely he tried."-- Juan Enrique

Unfortunately, George W Bush did! Over one million and counting! And that was with MY tax dollars! That bothers me a shitload more than some asshole from 40 years ago (most likely that you never even heard of till Rush Limbaugh clapped his hands and you came running) who never killed anyone - and didn't commit his terrorism on my dime!!!

"There is no morality amongst the far left"

The Bush administration and his cronies have destroyed America. If that's what you consider to be "moral" I can see how you have come to this twisted conclusion.

don't be so hasty as to assume their generally liberalish social proclivities necessarily reflect any real deviation from the annointed Ones (US!) manifest destiny of sanctimonious, oops, i mean our sanctified duty of converting all the heathens (raging or not) to the glories of Kapitalist Imperialism Uber Alles ! ! !

You wrote about terrorism on your dime. As a taxpayer, I too think about how we're culpable, since we all funded the torture and the mass murder that's wrapped in the American flag and called war. We're all terrorists, at least all of us who fund the terrors of torture and war.

I highly recommend this DVD , also available for instant viewing:

'The Weather Underground'

Perhaps the best documentary I have ever seen. An extremely insightful look into the Vietnam-era times of protest and social upheaval, and how it shaped the views and actions of Ayers and others. Without this understanding, you can't really grasp the framework in which Ayers operated.

Viewing it, I was reminded of the words of Jack Palance as 'Jesus Raza' in the wonderful film, 'The Professionals', as he mused on the revolution:

"La Revolucion is like a great love affair. In the beginning, she is a goddess. A holy cause. But... every love affair has a terrible enemy: time. We see her as she is. La Revolucion is not a goddess but a whore. She was never pure, never saintly, never perfect. And we run away, find another lover, another cause. Quick, sordid affairs. Lust, but no love. Passion, but no compassion. Without love, without a cause, we are... nothing! We stay because we believe. We leave because we are disillusioned. We come back because we are lost. We die because we are committed."

It's amazing that supposedly radical leftists like Ayers see Obama as an anti-war president! Obama is not opposed to using military force- read his comments on supporting the US bombing of Pakistan, read his comments last year that Iraq was the wrong war while Afghanistan is the right war and lastly read his overall message of American chauvinism that the US can be, once again, a light among nations. The US has never been a light among nations and Obama's presidency will bring us more of the same, just this time the word will get beaten by a carrot instead of a stick-the emphasis being in the beating.

Enough already!

Are there any real, clear thinking oppositional voices out there anymore???
