Mark Silva over at The Swamp, has a piece on the Bill Ayers story that we also ran yestrday.
Hussein Supporter and Friend: “No Regrets” Says Bill Ayers In A 2001 Article
How in the world can anyone (IE Mayor Dayley and Hussein & Supporters) say that we should just put this all back in the 60’s?
How can we as a society just accept these terrorists as “contributors to the community” when the reality of the situation is they are CRIMINALS!
I live less then a mile away from a gas station and a mosque, that 2 of the 9/11 terrorists worked at and supposedly said prayers in, who also were “contributors to the community” before September 11th.
I for one, will never let this go “Back to the 60’s, when were faced with terrorism on our soil every day.

The sudden, unintended sort-of-supporting role that the ex-radical turned professor Bill Ayers has played in the political life of Barack Obama prompted Chicago magazine to turn out a 2001 profile of the Chicago professor that is drawing readers anew.
“The notorious sixties radical,still carries a whiff of that rock ‘n’ roll decade: the oversize wire-rim glasses that, in a certain light, reveal themselves as bifocals; a backpack over his shoulder,” Marcia Coburn wrote then. “Yet he is also a man of the moment. For example: There is his cell phone, laid casually on the tabletop of this neighborhood Taylor Street coffee shop, and his passion for double skim lattes…
“Overall, it is not easy to imagine him as part of the Weatherman, a group that during the late sixties and early seventies openly called for revolution in America, led a violent rampaging protest in Chicago, and took credit for numerous bombings around the United States,” she wrote. “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. “I acted appropriately in the context of those times,” he said.
In the context of these times, Ayers’ association with Obama — the education professor at the University of Illinois Chicago hosted a reception for Obama’s state Senate campaign, and the two have served on a board together — has drawn attention from campaign critics. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley is among those who say that Ayers has become a contributor to the community, and it’s long past time to put the tumult of the Sixties in the past.

Why is this terrorist allowed to teach?
What is the DoJ doing about his terrorism?
May 6th, 2008 at 1:08 pmI can only second that emotion serfer62.
We all see the result of his influence on American education. To me this is a greater crime, because those chickens have come home… and kids no longer rebel against their (hippy) parents, but embrace their craziness. They are truly the lost generation and will not open their minds,
and have lost their soul to creeps like Ayres.
Shameless Plug: I continue to mock them at my weblog.
