even in 2001 Ayers was saying he wished he had bombed more.
frankly, i think he should be shot as a traitor to America. with citizens
like him, we don't need enemies.
and McCain has been a total gentleman throughout his campaign, frankly, i
think that's why he's been behind in the polls

The only reason people give Bill Ayers a free pass is because of how he is perceived. Because Bill Ayers did not go to jail people perceive that what he did was not that bad.
Fact is that he got off on a technicality.. fact is that his buddies are in Jail and I don't see anyone in here saying that the other members of the weather underground should be set free... fact is that he is unrepentent as shown by the NY times interview as well as an interview done by PBS. Fact is that he/his organization bombed several government sites and put other people into harms way.
If Bill Ayers was in Jail right now no one would be making the claim that Bill Ayers is innocent or that Bill Ayers is Harmless. Fact is that regardless of how old Obama was when he committed those acts is irrelevant. What is relevant is the age at which he conciously knew what Ayers had done; that he was unrepentent and proud of his actions... He knew that Ayers was guilty and only got off on a technicality.
That is the argument.. and that is the problem that a vast number of people have with him.
How can you fight terrorism and yet be friends with a terrorist?
What if Obama had been friends with Timothy McVeigh? Would you still feel the same way?
edit: it should be noted my reply was in response to Reefer Rogue.. I simply used justanotherbozo's post to kind of add on to it.
