--SNIP-- As the association between Obama and Ayers came to light, it would have helped the senator a little if his friend had at least shown some remorse. But listen to Ayers interviewed in the New York Times on September 11, 2001, of all days: “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” Translation: “We meant to kill that judge and his family, not just damage the porch.” When asked by the Times if he would do it all again, Ayers responded: “I don’t want to discount the possibility.”

Another sad anniversary in our nation's history. Originally published in April, 2008, RealClearHistory has re-posted this story because today is the 45th anniversary of the Weather Underground's bombing of the Capitol building.

So Ayers was actually convicted? What was the sentence?

Oh well, that’s OK... at least David Duke didn’t suggest that he kinda liked some of his policies (/sarc)

Ayers himself said, “guilty as sin, free as a bird”
