Is this his new book I don't follow terrorists I have no idea.
The timing being "unfortunate," it never sold well. So now he's re-releasing it, to turn the knife -- in addition to a new book, written by both he and Dohrn, "Racecourse to White Supremacy" -- a condemnation of racist capitalism in Amerikkka, the country that Ayers says "makes me puke" -- coming soon to the NYT best seller list, I'm sure.
Ayers is one of the most vindictive, smug, arrogant bastards to pollute the planet, and his wife is a psychopathic killer, but he knows how to talk the talk, and language is all-important in the academic world he inhabits. If you want to get away with blowing up buildings, just tell everyone you're a social activist, that you're a progressive fighting for social justice, and that will usually give you a pass.
As George Orwell wrote, "political language ... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable."
