great news of course but i wont rest til they are on home turf!
On Thursday, Bill Ayers got into a Twitter war with an apparent former infantry officer. Heres what it looked like:
Well, no.
Ayers, who has been lauded by Leftists including Barack Obama for decades, was in fact a terrorist. He was one of the founders of the Weather Underground, and participated in the bombings of the New York City Police Department headquarters, the U.S. Capitol, and the Pentagon. The groups ideology: Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents. Three of his friends were killed when a bomb Ayers designed went off during its production. That bomb, as Andy McCarthy points out, had been designed to murder U.S. soldiers. In 2001, Ayers stated, I dont regret setting bombs and added, I feel we didnt do enough.
But dont worry Ayers was just fighting for peace and justice.
In an era when every foible of the Trump administration is subject to dramatic misreporting by the media, its incredible to recall that Barack Obamas open association with Ayers was deemed unworthy of serious discussion, gauche and somewhat taboo. Ayers still lurks around the fringes of the Left, and hes well-respected in the halls of academia.
