William Ayers' Blog: Reparations for Iraq, Afghanistan; Pull Out of Entire Middle East

By Ken Shepherd | April 18, 2008

Weather Underground leader turned-academic William Ayers is now so docile that it never really "bothered anyone in Chicago," that Sen. Barack Obama had any connection to him, wrote Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet in the April 18 paper. Along those same lines the Washington Post's Peter Slevin argued that the '60s radical was now "considered so mainstream" in Chicago "that [Mayor Richard] Daley issued a statement on Thursday praising him as a 'distinguished professor of education' and a 'valued member of the Chicago community.'"

But while he may have forsaken violence long ago, as his blog attests, Ayers's politics are far from mainstream, and go far beyond the standard Democratic arguments to withdraw from Iraq.

Thanks for the ping. Apparently, Obama doesn’t get all of his guidance from the Rev. Jeremiah Wrong.

An outstanding essay on the Weather Underground can be found in David Horowitz and Peter Collier's 1989 book Destructive Generation. Used copies are available for a couple of bucks. It's a brilliant look at who these homegrown terrorists were, what they believed, and what they hoped to accomplish.
