Here is the wiki entry for William Ayers, a "Distinguished Professor of Education" at the University of Illinois at chicago (but perhaps better known for his role as a 1960s "anti-war activist" and cofounder of the Weather Underground).

Gee, isn't that sweet? "Anti-war activist." Good grief, this scum of the earth was as much of a domestic terrorist at the time as any numbnuts Al Quaida operative today - and remains unrepentant to this very day.
Oh, and let's not forget that poster child for peace, Bernardine Dohrn, former leader of the Weather Underground, bomb tosser, blushing bride of Ayers, and now Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University:

Perhaps more interesting than the actual wiki is the ongoing discussion among the article authors and detractors:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bernardine_Dohrn
What I find most troubling about this discussion is that there is any question whatsoever about the Weather Underground having been a terrorist organization (and hence, by extension, the leaders of such organization themselves being labeled as terrorists). I claim that any reasonable, commonsense definition of domestic terrorism could not fail to include the Weather Underground as a striking example of same. If IT is not, then what, for God's sake, WOULD qualify? Ludicrous to have even need of discussing this point.
Ayers and Dohrn - quite a pair. And not exactly strangers to Lord Obama despite his every protestation to the contrary - but, hey, who's keeping track? Certainly not those bastions of investigative journalism and impartial reporting such as the New York Times.
So, for our own backgrounder, here's is the wiki entry for Bill Keller, the executive editor of that piece of shit newspaper, The New York Times. Perhaps under his stewardship it may simply be that the piece of shit which is the newspaper has taken on the persona of that piece of who is the executive editor.

Keller is in the bag for Obama and makes no bones about it. Just as he has an equal level of animosity for Bill O'Reilly of Fox News. So much for the last shred of dignity of the fourth estate. Gone. All gone.
Returning for the moment, and to close, with Ayers, I'd like to suggest that some of us who disagreed with his point of view in the 1960s may not, ourselves, have done enough (to mirror his own sentiments as expressed in an article in the New York Times that appeared in the issue of 9/11/2001 (!).
In this regard, some of you may find Ayers' own comments regarding this topic of some interest (from his blog in April of this year):

Truly "lawlerly" response (LMAO).
