"Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, talked about how Obama would "pal around with terrorists." Yeah, Bill Ayers is such a terrorist that he is now allowed to eat breakfast & chum it on Good Morning America. What a joke!

"This is just barry obama''s people just doing damage control. "


Damage control? Yeah, you can tell how concerned he is by the Ayers connection by the way he won the Presidential election.

So NOW he comes out of the woodwork. He should have spoken up before the election. He was just waiting to see how he could turn this to his best advantage. I believe his story, but he should have spoken up much sooner.

Even when trying to look non-threatening and "normal," Ayers comes across as the bomb-throwing radical he is. He was on the "right side"? Characterizing the war that was fought in Viet Nam as "murder" shows what he still believes. He does not try to slough off his past conduct as "indiscretions of his youth," but defends it. I did not like his or his wife''s type in the 1960s and don''t like them now. "You say you want a revolution?" What a privileged, immature twit. He would probably defend Saddam Hussein''s "right" to gas Kurdish children and feed political opponents live into meat grinders.

I''m from Ayer''s Era and hotly protested the Vietnam Slaughter. Does that make me a terrorist? Sarah Palin and the Republican crooks seem to think so! They sit in judgement of EVERYONE, beause they LOVE THE PROFITS THAT WAR GENERATES (except when a wing nut is in the White House who STARTS an illegal war that ends up nearly BANKRUPTING OUR COUNTRY).

Mr. Ayers is an AMERICAN who had the BACKBONE TO SPEAK UP WHEN HE SAW INJUSTICE. If there were more like him, we wouldn''t have these sickening, illegal WARS based on LIES AND GREED.
