At precisely five minutes before high noon on March 6, 1970, the emergent radical-fringe bombers the Weather Underground had a terrifying and lethal showdown with its own cackhandedness.
In a townhouse on leafy, prosperous West 11th Street in Greenwich Village, close by houses once occupied by Poe, Melville and Whitman, there was, at 11.55am, a series of horrifying explosions; first one, then two more of equally shocking force. The detonations collapsed the three-storey house in on itself, leaving a ragged hole in the street's facade, as though a tooth had been torn from a smile....
What police found inside the ruins was evidence of an accidental holocaust, arising from preparations for another, fully intentional one. Sixty sticks of dynamite were found, plus pipe bombs, a live anti-tank shell and stolen student ID cards from campuses across the country.
One bomb-maker had inadvertently closed a circuit and immolated himself and two others. One corpse, identifiable only by the print on a severed finger, was that of Diana Oughton, daughter of an Illinois state politician, and granddaughter of the founder of the Boy Scouts of America. Ted Gold, a leader of the 1968 Columbia University shutdown, was also found in pieces, and of Terry Robbins there was only a torso remaining
It was understood later that the bombs were to have been detonated at a non-commissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix: apocalypse here and now, bringing the war home, indeed.

Imagine that, Barack has his own 'Bill the Plumber'. Ayers didn't make $250,000, instead his crew made widows and orphans.
I wonder why the spineless filth in the media won't dig through his tax records and give him a rectal exam?
Because the SOB's don't want to know anything that will argue against THE ONE being president.
As someone said, We know more about Sam the Plumber in 24 hours than we know about Obama in 21 months since he's appeared on the scene.
The actions of the MSM are disgraceful.
With the Ayers story the Left seems to think it enlightened to cavort with a widow maker. Yet Palin, who has the audacity to give birth to a Downs child is like light to a vampire media. They squeal with revulsion.
Let me repeat myself, the scum in the media are no longer even hiding their support for Obama, literally they fight off his accusations and pour more on McCain and Palin, including a so-called “affair” a lobbyist denies.
They did everything in their power to discredit Joe the Plumber when the issue isn’t Joe...it’s Capitalism and the American Way vs. Liberation Black Theology with Socialist tendencies...
New news: Obama will begin taxing carbon emissions, I heard on the ABS affiliate tonight here in the Bay Area.
I am a middle school teacher. I was unable to watch the debates last nights so I asked the kids about it. One young man, who is a Obama fanatic because Obama is “cool”, spoke about Ayers and Obama’s link. I do not usually advocate one side over the other. I encourage the kids to research for themselves which candidate most closely matches their beliefs. When this young man continued about “innocent” relationship, internally I blew a gasket! I proceeded to get on my soap box, not about Obama, but about Ayers and his past deeds and home grown terrorist cell...and that he’s a professor of education at UIC. Then, my question to these kids...does this matter? Several of them definitely didn’t like the fact that there was a relationship.
My sole McCain/Palin supporter in this class (most of them are quiet about who they support) proceeded to state that at least McCain hasn’t been associated with a terrorist and murderer.
Thank God lunch was next...I needed to calm down!
AP is parroting the Daily KO’s.
A top NBC executive is producing the “children for Obama.”
Matthews, Olbermann, Couric, Williams, King, Blitzer are so far Left it boggles the mind.
No one corrects them, like ACORN, and just curious, where is Bush to hammer the Justice Department for all this garbage?
“Let me repeat myself, the scum in the media are no longer even hiding their support for Obama, literally they fight off his accusations and pour more on McCain and Palin, including a so-called “affair” a lobbyist denies.”
We can push that argument all day long, and we have been to little effect, but in life’s little twist, this Joetheplumber thing has taken that argument and pushed it through the people’s complacency and is a topic of conversation throughout the none political, or less political part of the net.
Looks like the FBI have a strong dislike for ACORN too. According to msn/yahoo (I can’t remember), the FBI is launching an investigation into voter registration fraud. It’s about time.

Based on the life of Diana Oughton, daughter of a wealthy Illinois real estate owner and politician.
Sissy Spacek go boom.
Kudos for your bravery in discussing this issue in your classroom. Hope no parent complains to your principal.
Read the article to the end, and you wanna puke.
Thanks...but I do cover my back. With the Ayers issue, I have the facts on my side! I do not share my opinions, I get the class to share theirs. They do not know which candidate I will vote for. I have kids that will bring in McCain info becuase they “know” I support McCain; and I have students that will bring in Obama info because they too “know” I support Obama. I don’t know any other teachers in my school that can say they stay middle ground. Most show their Obama afinity.
