William Ayers Whitewashes History and the Blood on His Hands
The Sundries Shack — ... Ayers is responsible. He is responsible for the murder of Sgt. McDonnell. He is responsible for the deaths of his fellow terrorists. He is responsible for those killed during the Days of Rage. Those are, as he says, the facts. His simpering rationalizations do not get around the fact that he has blood on his hands. In a good world, the Times will seek out someone to balance Ayers’ distorted and self-aggrandizing view of the world. His fiction should not stand unchallenged. (via memeorandum ) ...

Behold The Tantrum
Balloon Juice — ... has to say in an attempt to rehab his character after the attempted GOP smear campaign during the election, but I am really looking forward to the inevitable right-wing freak out over this editorial. That will be entertaining as hell, and you can monitor the progress of said tantrum at memeorandum. ...

IF AYERS HAS NOTHING TO REPENT, THEN WHY DID OBAMA THINK HE HAD BEEN "REHABILITATED"?
THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS — AYERS OP-ED IN THE NYTIMES IS A PACK OF DISGUSTING FILTHY LIES. HE CLAIMS THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND WAS NOT TERRORISTS AND DIDN'T TARGET PEOPLE. THIS IS A LIE. THEY TARGETED PEOPLE AND KILLED MANY. MANY MORE MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED. AYERS DESERVES WORSE THAN OJ SIMPSON. WILL NO ONE RID US OF THIS MENDACIOUS, ANTI-AMERICAN, VIOLENT AND DANGEROUS MAN!?BOTTOM-LINE: IF AYERS HAS NOTHING TO REPENT, THEN WHY DID OBAMA THINK HE HAD BEEN "REHABILITATED"? THEY'RE BOTH LIARS.

"The Underpants Gnome Theory of Political Activism" — Lawyers, Guns and Money
Hilzoy doesn't leave much unsaid here . I'm not sure why the Times chose to give editorial space to Ayers, either; the failure of the "palling-around-with-terrorists" narrative proved sufficiently enough that his work in the late 1960s and early 1970s was irrelevant to the outcome of the ...
