    lol, he's not a terrorist anymore. Hasn't committed a terrorist act in over 30 years... and even when he committed so-called "terrorist" acts, they never met the accepted definition of terrorism, which is the targeting of innocents. The weathermen were all about property damage, and their bombs never injured anyone but their own.

      October 20, 1981 -- long after the Weather Underground had ceased to exist -- former Underground member Kathy Boudin and her soon-to-be husband, David Gilbert, were accomplices in the robbery of a Brinks armored car in Nyack, New York. In the course of that heist, one Brinks guard and two Nyack police officers were murdered

        Boudin and Gilbert? Where is the Ayers in that story? Where is Obama?

        They have nothing to do with it! A guard and 2 police do not count as civilian casualties, thus these two are criminals and cop-killers, but still not terrorists.

        Do you know what a terrorist is? Can you SAY terrorist? Clearly, you can, but can you use it properly in a sentence? I don't think so.

        Btw, uncredited quotations like that are a form of plagiarism.

        willotica,

        1. By Ayers' own admission, he has never stopped being a terrorist and has no regrets or remorse.

        2. Obama was 40 years old when Ayers himself stated he only wished they could have done more bombings.

        3. The "accepted definition" of terrorism is actually Ayers' own definition of terrorism. I know you'll find this to be an astonishing fact, but in civilized nations, we do not let criminals define criminality. A terrorist is not someone who targets innocents, but someone who executes violence to advance a political or ideological agenda a) outside the color of law, b) outside the auspices of a sovereign nation, and c) a+b + not attempting to expel a foreign invader.

        4. Ayers stated that he had no problem with innocent victims of his bombs.

        5. Never killed anyone? True. Filth like you don't police officers to be human beings. Do the survivors of Edward O'Grady and Waverly Brown have your permission to feel otherwise? Pretty pleeeeezzzze....

        You people are pathetic.

          if we don't allow criminals to define criminality... why the hell are we listening to bush, rove, chaney, etc., etc., etc......?

            Are those the people who died in the attack on the Armored Brinks truck? An event that was not a bomb (read my post) and did not involve Ayers?

            Look, you can colour Ayers by association with fellow members of the Weathermen. This is completely fair because he was also a member. However, to paint Obama with association with Ayers who is guilty of those deaths by HIS association is taking your associative guilt thing a little too far.

            Was Obama ever a member of the Weather Underground? No. Did he ever support or advocate their acts? No.

            What is the point of the second ammendment? To allow protestors to fire warning shots against tyranny? I'm not claiming that the guard and the police officers who were killed were tyrants. In fact, they have little to do with Ayers at all. What I'm questioning is why should we defend the second ammendment, if anyone who attempts to use it is labeled a terrorist and a traitor? These are things to think about.
