Not true.

FTA One of the Weatherman leaders was Bernardine Dohrn, a smart, magnetic figure who, in part because of her penchant for miniskirts and knee-high boots, was dubbed "La Pasionaria of the Lunatic Left" by FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. After a bomb exploded accidentally and killed three of their colleagues, Ayers and Dohrn "hooked up," in the parlance of the day, and, since 1982, they have been married. This—violence, death, and white-hot rhetoric—is his past and Ayers insists he has no regrets.-

Gehl, you say "Not true," and then provide a link to a story with the following:

"The group always emphasized that their targets were property, not people. And, in fact, no one was injured—except, of course, some of the Weatherman's own."
And from your quote, it's all in his past. Thus the condemnation of Obama for his association with Ayers isn't even for who the man is now, but for who he used to be.-

Even though it was 3 of their own, they died as a result of their bombs. http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/Decembe...

FTA:
F**k the pigs. That was how they all felt-Brian Flanagan, John Jacobs, Terry Robbins, Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd-the most stalwart members of the fledgling militant antiwar group Weatherman. To them, the police were simply tools of the state-brutal, corrupt, oppressive minions who carried out the bidding of a government engaged in an illegal, amoral war. What was worse was that the police had all the power. With their helmets and truncheons and paddy-wagon doors flung open like jaws, they could stand by and intimidate while peaceful marchers cowered. No more. As the winter of 1968 bled into the spring of 1969, a new type of dissident was born, one dedicated to the proposition that violence, not passivity, was the way to change: Weatherman.
