Conservative?
OK, so let me get this straight.
It's a "conservative" stance to question a Presidential candidate's ties to UNREPENTANT terrorists?
People who BOMBED the Pentagon,
Does that mean liberals are OK with it?
Even the NY Bar Association refused to pass Bernardine Dorhn because of her character. But it's OK for a potential President to hang around them?
Here's an edited version of 2001 NY Times article:
''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.''…
“Mr. Ayers, who in 1970 was said to have summed up the Weatherman philosophy as: ''Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at,'' is today distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
“He went underground in 1970, after his girlfriend, Diana Oughton, and two other people were killed when bombs they were making exploded in a Greenwich Village town house. With him in the Weather Underground was Bernardine Dohrn, who was put on the F.B.I.'s 10 Most Wanted List. J. Edgar Hoover called her ''the most dangerous woman in America'' and ''la Pasionara of the Lunatic Left.'' Mr. Ayers and Ms. Dohrn later married.
“In his book Mr. Ayers describes the Weathermen descending into a ‘whirlpool of violence.'
''Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,'' he writes. But then comes a disclaimer: ‘Even though I didn't actually bomb the Pentagon -- we bombed it, in the sense that Weathermen organized it and claimed it.’ He goes on to provide details about the manufacture of the bomb and how a woman he calls Anna placed the bomb in a restroom. No one was killed or injured, though damage was extensive.
“Between 1970 and 1974 the Weathermen took responsibility for 12 bombings, Mr. Ayers writes, and also helped spring Timothy Leary (sentenced on marijuana charges) from jail.
“So, would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? 'I don't want to discount the possibility,' he said.”
