The Chutzpah of Bill Ayers
Pajamas Media ^

If I were an unbeliever, I would have a lot of very harsh things to say about this murdering, thieving, hate-mongering terrorist.

At the risk of sounding mean-spirited, the sooner this happens, the better.

One hopes he is mugged in the streets, the recipient of what he would probably call “People’s Justice.”
