RHETORIC: He was then asked about his association with William Ayers, a member of the Weather Underground, a radical group from the 1960s and '70s. Ayers was quoted after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, as saying he did not regret setting bombs and that "we didn't do enough." [Washington Post, 4/17/08]Ayers wishes he had bombed and killed more. That wish is evil, heinous, disgraceful and bloodthirsty. If he had said it after 9/11, he would be merely callous in addition to evil, heinous, disgraceful and bloodthirsty. For the Obama campaign there is only a problem if Ayers is callous.
REALITY: AYERS COMMENTS WERE PUBLISHED ON SEPTEMBER 11; THE INTERVIEW OCCURRED PRIOR TO PUBLICATION
On September 11, 2001, A Story About William Ayers' Memoir Was Published In The New York Times; The Interview Occurred Prior To Publication. "'I don't regret setting bombs,' Bill Ayers said. 'I feel we didn't do enough.' Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970's as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago." [New York Times, 9/11/01]
ANd you gotta love when Obama says he was only eight years old when Ayers committed his crimes. I get it, Obama, you didn't have anything to do with the WU! But you still don't associate with the scum who did! But, "he was a respected educator"!? Then I guess you have to question all the premises of those who respect him--but that would mean giving up hard left liberal politics and you just couldn't do that, could you Obama? The truth is, Obama is right there with him in spirit trampling on the American flag. But so are very many Americans--MoveOn, Huffington, Hollywood, the Ivy League, etc. It is going to be very hard to live with eachother.
