Capitalist sellout Ayers' post-barry press junket

November 14, 2008

Bill Ayers the coward is out making money off a guy he doesn't know that well but describes as a family friend in the new afterward of his book. The same book he was promoting in his September 11, 2001 published New York Times interview. He is a weak effeminate looking man - no different than any other past his prime capitalist looking to make a buck off somebody else's success. The self-proclaimed unrepentant radical looks like a Deadhead who's traded in the Orange Sunshine for Geritol-laced lattes. The real interview would be with his wife who actually carried out the acts. I'm going to list loose quotes. No need to rebut -- check the archives under his name.

He lies right off about his book re-release: .
No one predicted the attention I would get in the election. I mean, this was not a decision based on that at all.
We tried to end that war. And in trying to end it, we did cross lines of propriety, of legality, maybe even of common sense. But we never committed terror.

It's not terrorism, because it doesn't target - target people to either kill or injure
. [A list of his targets.] And had we killed or injured anybody, I'm sure it would have been devastating for everyone.

We knew it was wrong. We knew it was illegal. We knew it was immoral. We had to do more.I didn't regret for a minute resisting the murderous assault on Viet Nam with every ounce of my being.
Every ounce of his being? Being a coward? Running away when his girlfriend blew her damn self up? How can he possibly say such things and malign American hero and POW Senator McCain who was at the time resisting within an ounce of his own life? Not playing GI Joe with his War Manifesto Jane. What would've happened if ayers did today what he did then? His case got thrown out in part because of illegal wiretaps that barry finds perfectly reasonable...or has he changed his mind again?
I knew Barack Obama, absolutely. And I knew him probably as well as thousands of other Chicagoans. And like millions of other people worldwide, I wish I knew him better right now. [Yeah so do The American People] The truth is we came together in Chicago...that's the full extent of our relationship.

[We] had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fund-raiser at my house, where I'd made a small donation to his earliest political campaign. [Which barry has never returned.]

This idea that we need to know more, like there's some dark hidden secret, some secret link, is just a myth, and it's a myth thrown up by people that wanted to exploit the politics of fear. And I think it's a great credit to the American people that those politics were rejected. The idea that we should continue to be frightened and worried and barricaded is falling down, and it should.

It's not at all true that he sought me out to listen to my radical ideas, or that I sought him out.
