Bill Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist (say it with me) and Barack Obama’s “family friend,” and his equally unrepentant wife, “lawyer” (she doesn’t have a law license, she’s a criminal, duh) Bernadine/dette Dohrn, were interviewed on Democracy Now, and, boy! was it an eye-opener. For one thing, the reason they are “unrepentant” is that, according to them, they didn’t do anything. At least, nothing everybody else wasn’t doing too. It was the sixties, man! Everybody was against the war! What they don’t say, is that everybody was against war, period, not “the war” per se. War is a major buzz kill, dude, and in the sixties and seventies, it was all about the buzz. Everybody wasn’t setting bombs, either. Some people were sticking flowers in National Guardsmen’s rifles and not taking the brown acid at mega-concerts. But, I digress. Anyway, after listening to the Ma and Pa Kettle of bored rich kid activism spin their revised history Fractured Fairy Tales, I am now convinced that these two spent their fugitive years underground as roadies for the Partridge Family. Perfect cover, and, after ‘74 when the show went off the air, they could keep all the drugs and Boone’s Farm they scored for themselves. Remember, the Weather Underground was involved with getting drug guru Timothy (Come Together) Leary out of the country after his escape from jail on (trumped up) drug charges.
[...] huh? Wonder what motivated that little philosophical development? Maybe years underground as a roadie for the Partridge Family while running from prosecution will make you disdain legal authority. And anyway, what does he [...]
“Someone like me?” Do you have a point to make?
Why would someone like you listen to DN? Seriously, it’s a left media outlet. Do you even understand it?

Oh my god, this is the funniest thing I have read on a blog since…well, since the last funniest thing you wrote on a blog, which was probably about a week ago or so.
Watched the first minute of the tape, and couldn’t continue….maybe later. What self satisfied, sanctimonious, self indulgent, self important… It was okay to bomb back then, but 911 changed everything? What about the people they killed? How about Oklahoma City? I lived through their sheity time of yuppie youth angst, and their actions made it much harder for young people. They didn’t help anyone, however they did make a whole lot of people miserable.
Anger, disgust, total astonishment that these two miscreants are trying to whitewash their past,, partially suceeding (after all they are being interviewed on major TV stations), will make money off their book and the only reason they weren’t jailed was because they were wealthy and had influential friends and families. If I, you or anyone we know had done something like that, we would have been dished up the McVeigh route of justice. I’ll return to check out the rest of the clip when I’m calmer.
