Bill Ayers: Violent resistance not necessarily the answer
How long after todays statement will we hear Barack Obama declare that this is not the Bill Ayers that I knew? Unfortunately for Obama, Ayers continues to show that hes the same unrepentant domestic terrorist we all knew, and whom Obama called mainstream on his campaign site until his team wisely scrubbed it in the spring. In a cartoon on his site, Ayers doesnt express an ounce of remorse for his campaign of violence and terror.
Heres the full statement, as provided by Jake Tapper, who cant believe the part I bolded:
First, lets get the quote back into its context, which Ayers elides in this new spin. The entire quote was I dont regret setting bombs. I feel we didnt do enough. He clearly was talking tactics in the context of that quote, and nothing he says today changes that.
But even beyond that, Ayers offers no remorse at all for his actions. He never even offers the possibility that he should apologize for his crimes. In the September 2001 article that ran on the day that 3,000 Americans died in terrorist attacks, Ayers said that hed consider doing it all over again:
And in todays statement, Ayers says that violent resistance is not necessarily the answer as if in a democracy, one has to consider that among the options for political change. Is that what Barack Obama calls mainstream? Under what circumstances would Obama see violent resistance in America as a mainstream option?
The more one sees and hears from Bill Ayers, the clearer Obamas connections to radicals becomes. Hopefully, we will hear even more from Ayers and Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger in the next eight weeks.
Q. What do Obama and Osama have in common?
A. They both have friends who attacked the Pentagon.
