Comments on: Bill Ayers Whitewashes History, Again

The Nation: Ayers Owes The Anti-War Left An Apology

[asamiller]

The Weather Underground''s stupid tactics did nothing to end the war in Vietnam. Public outrage at a pointless war, plus the military victories of the Vietnamese themselves did. The Weather Underground remains a modestly dangerous footnote in the story.

Keith Gardner however is wrong, Nixon substantially escalated the war. He bombed Hanoi and extended the war into Cambodia.

You idiots, Cambodia, and Thailand were all escalated during the Johnson administration, that is why he did not run for a second term. Nixon, brought the war to an end, with the support of Walter Cronkite, who moved public opinion towards peace with the peace talks in France. I remember how all Americans were so happy when he brought America out of the war. Stop rewriting history, we were there and we remember.

April 29, 1970 was the invasion of Cambodia and who was president from 01.20.1969 to 01.20.1973 - Tricky *** Nixon...

Bill Ayers is pure evil. He should have been executed for his crimes, and I would be very happy if he lost his life as a victim of modern criminals.

He may call himself a terrorist but U may not.
Especially if he is lying.

The man was on LSD
It is foolish to take his inflated hallucinatory word.

If he had really been guilty the government would have taken him out like Patty Hearst''s friends.

OWEGN,

So you say that since Nixon was elected in 68 he is responsible for the escalation of the war in 68?

Obama was elected in ''''08....I guess that means he''''s responsible for the wall street and auto industry collaps....right?

And Nixon ended Vietnam in 1975 after a 3 year policy of "Vietnamization", which means turning the war over to the Vietnamese. And check your facts....the escalation began in early 1965 with the movement of troops from Okinawa to Da Nang. Obviously that was done under Johnson.

The information is out there unless you want to keep deluding yourself...

Nixon is responsible for the Cambodia Invasion on April 29, 1970 which is an escalation...

[noloyalisti]

The terrorists are the corporatist Republicons and Democrats. The ones who are sponsoring terror in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Oh yeah, the Ponzi Street crooks are terrorists also.

Why was our government remiss in putting this terrorist in jail to begin with?

Are we fools? Instead he gets millions from a foundation.
