Ayers is a respected Chicago professor who was a member of the 1960s militant antiwar group the Weather Underground. In their first joint television interview, Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn discuss the McCain campaign attacks, President-elect Obama, the Weather Underground, the legacy of 1960s social justice movements, and more.

AMY GOODMAN (host of “Democracy Now”): On Fox News, Bill O’Reilly made Bill Ayers his drumbeat.
Amy Goodwin got arrested at the GOP Convention because she was your average liberal reporter who felt that she didn’t have to listen to the police officers on the scene. She felt her press pass gave her complete access to the area even after the cop told her to get back on the sidewalk. That is truly what this has to do with. It was not a government conspiracy, Amy.

Goodman has received dozens of awards for her work, including the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award and the George Polk Award.

Another damn hippie wanna be.
.....
They were all groomed for one thing. Social Revolution to destroy the American Ruling Class (whomever the hell that was supposed to be). Hillary (the Alynsky expert who, remember, was from Chicago) and Bill the Rhodes Scholar are in the club too.
The average American can't even imagine half of this kook filled nightmare. One thing is for sure. Bill Ayers and Bernie are a very dangerous people.
They make it sound like he was a member of the Mousekateers! This was (and remains) a very nasty group of people who were and are passionate about destroying the "American Establishment" and creating a government based on kooky principles of social justice and other Leftist clap trap. The Soviet Union died but these people are every bit as passionate about social revolution as ever. Huge threat to US internal security (although, probably not as much under the new administration).
