Bill Ayers Special to the Star
Whew! What was all that mess? I'm still in a daze, sorting it all out, decompressing.
For the past few years, I have gone about my business, hanging out with my kids and, now, my grandchildren, taking care of our elders (they moved in as the kids moved out), going to work, teaching and writing. And every day, I participate in the never-ending effort to build a powerful and irresistible movement for peace and social justice.
In years past, I would now and then – and often unpredictably – appear in the newspapers or on TV, sometimes with a reference to Fugitive Days, my 2001 memoir of the exhilarating and difficult years of resistance against the American war in Vietnam.

That photo makes me want to weep. I find it as disturbing as 9/11 photos.
The direction this Country has gone, I’m expecting Ayers to turn up on “Dancing With The Stars”.
There is still a chance that Dohrn could be charged with the murder of a police officer, and if Ayer’s fingerprints which were reportedly located on bomb components can be linked to that killing in San Francisco, then he too could be charged as an accessory before the fact.
Would have loved to put his father in jail for aiding and abetting a federal fugitive, and maybe his brother Richard could do some time for it.
There is no statute of limitation on murder.
I’ll take Ayres own approach:
I’m a peaceful guy, but if someone shot a corrupt member of our government (like Ayres himself) I’d think that was pretty good...
This man will never be anything other than a Marxist jerk.
I expect him to have a major role in the new administration. Scary thought.
Bill Ayers: Soon to be Secretary of Education in the Obama administration. I will bet an Egg McMuffin on it.
They're your kind of folk... sit around drinking coffee and planning the demise of all that's America.
Bill Ayers chickens have come home to roost.
I think hell has a special place for him. Don’t keep them waiting you freaking maggot.
With even a cursory analysis of this terrorist Bill Ayers, you would know:
1) Ayers is NOT “reformed”. He is still preaching the same anti-west hatred that he spewed in the 1960’s AND he did not rule out terrorist actions in the future (New York Times, Sept. 11, 2001).
2) Ayers was not against the Vietnam war for purely humanitarian reasons. He was against efforts to tame the aggressive expansion of communism – he was actively supporting his comrades.
3) It is not “anger” or “guilt by association” to point out the fact that Bill Ayers had a long and profitable relationship with Barack Obama. Obama funneled millions into Ayers organization that, according to Paul Vallas, the city's school superintendent when Obama chaired the Chicago Annenberg Foundation - “There was a total lack of accountability. If you went back and asked, you'd be hard-pressed to find out how the money was spent.".
4) Google these words "Ayers Grathwohl pajama" and read the article.
Why not "forgive" all murders / terrorists who haven't murdered in 30 years by releasing them from jail. Ayers owes his current freedom solely to a prosecutorial technicality.
And despite what Obama would have you believe, their terrorist acts didn’t end when he was a child in an Indonesian elementary school.
Obama, Ayers, and Dohrn lived and attended college in the same Manhattan neighborhood when the 1983 Brinks robbery in Nyack took place. Two police officers and a Brinks guard were gunned down by members of the Black Liberation Army and still-active members of the by-then defunct Weather Underground just 22 miles away. The fake IDs used to rent the vehicles in the robbery attempt were traced back to Manhattan and Bernardine Dohrn, and she went to jail for refusing to cooperate with the grand jury and explain her role in the crime.
Barack Obama was then in his early 20s, not eight.
And another excerpt:
We don’t care about what Obama knew 40 years ago when he was eight. What matters is that six years ago, when he was 42, he still chose to associate with Ayers and Dohrn. In a newly released 2002 radio interview taped during the time he was working with Barack Obama as a board member of the Woods Fund, Bill Ayers stated who and what he is:
"I considered myself partially an anarchist then and consider myself partially an anarchist now. I mean, I’m as much an anarchist as I am a Marxist, which is to say that I find a lot of the ideas of anarchism appealing."

"In 1980 Ayers and Dohrn surrendered to law-enforcement authorities, but all charges against them were later dropped due to an "improper surveillance" technicality -- government authorities had failed to get a warrant for some of their surveillance. Ayers' comment on his life, as reported by Peter Collier and David Horowitz in their authoritative chapter on Weatherman in Destructive Generation, was this: "Guilty as sin, free as a bird, America is a great country.""
Here is another reference:
"I do take issue with the statement in your news article that the Weathermen indictment was dismissed because of "prosecutorial misconduct." It was dismissed because of illegal activities, including wiretaps, break-ins and mail interceptions, initiated by John N. Mitchell, attorney general at that time, and W. Mark Felt, an F.B.I. assistant director.
