Now that Barack is the President-Elect, domestic terrorist William Ayers is stepping into the spotlight. Gateway Pundit has the video.
There are two very notable things Ayers says in this interview, one of which perfectly encapsulates the atrocious double standard that the Left grants itself. At 5:40 in the clip, the interviewer poses the following comparison.
Interviewer (Chris Cuomo): The analogy is that if John McCain had an association, if somebody had a coffee for him in his house to launch his political career, who was blowing up abortion clinics but never hurt anyone, you don’t think that would be relevant?
What follows is moral equivalency that has to be seen to be believed. He essentially says, “our violence was justified.”
While he justifies his terrorism as acceptable because the US government was “murdering 1000′s of people a day” in Vietnam, he doesn’t have much to say about the death rate after the American Left tucked tail and ran. I’m pretty sure that it went up a little.
I’m no fan of the Vietnam war (or any other for that matter), but he is being dishonest in his justification by leaving it completely out of context. My guess is that he sleeps at night either by having no conscience to speak of, or by telling himself that the US was to blame for the genocide that followed, not the Socialists we were fighting there . Perhaps a combination of the two?
The second notable and far more alarming comment comes at 6:12, when Bill “Bomber” Ayers reiterates that his movement didn’t do enough when they were manufacturing and detonating explosives in American cities back in the day, and that not enough has been done to stop today’s war against the Jihad Crusaders.
I think that can logically be interpreted as a call to violence. If Bomber doesn’t think he did enough when he was blowing stuff up, it leaves a pit in my stomach to hear him say he doesn’t think enough has been done to stop the war we are in today. If the anti-American Left begins detonating bombs again, this man should share the blame.
I guess if you had invented the internet back during the Vietnam War, you would’ve rallied all of your “Founding Bloggers” and won the war for us, just like you’re doing in Afghanistan and Iraq, right, tough guy?
I think you are so unintelligent that you are unable to see that the inferences you make about the views of Mr. Ayers are fallacious.
For example, to say that enough has not been done to stop the current war is not necessarily to say that more violent tactics should be employed to the same end. (In fact, Mr. Ayers has made it clear in other interviews that that is not what he mean in the infamous 9/11 NYT interview.
You are not very smart.
[...] Did Bill Ayers just call for violence? posted by Gateway Pundit at 11/14/2008 05:17:00 [...]
I don’t care what this old terrorist says or doesn’t say but…I do care that he is employed by a tax supported University (University of Illinois at Chicago). Illinois residents are supporting this man and his actions. Wake up people!! Is this who you want educating your sons and daughters? Take a stand and let the University know how you feel and 1) don’t give money 2)consider other universities. The funny thing no the sad thing is we would be supporting him in the prison but he got off on a technicality sooooooo we have him in the public education system. Are we stupid or what?
