Bill Ayers

This is the so called radical that the Republican party is ranting about every hour they can buy time on cable media to do so. this man was born in 1944 and is old by any standard. He founded the Weatherman and took part in bombing of federal building in the 1960's as a protest of the Vietnam war.
In the most part the young people who took part of the protest against the war were young educated people from our colleges and universities. While searching for this photo of Ayes I saw a picture of him in his weatherman years and I tell you he was very young at that time.
These young people wanted the government to stop the war in Vietnam. They didn't want to destroy the government as Palin has been preaching in our land.
The 1960's were a turbulent area in our history, assignations were being carried out against our leaders namely John and Bobbie Kennedy and Martin Luther king.The death of our 3 heroes had much to do with the rage of that generation.

Ayers became involved in the New Left and the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).[7] He rose to national prominence as an SDS leader in 1968 and 1969. As head of an SDS regional group, the "Jesse James Gang", Ayers made decisive contributions to the Weatherman orientation toward militancy.[5]The group Ayers headed in Detroit, Michigan became one of the earliest gatherings of what became the Weatherman. Between the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the June 1969 SDS convention, Ayers became a prominent leader of the group, which arose as a result of a schism in SDS.[5]"During that time his infatuation with street fighting grew and he developed a language of confrontational militancy that became more and more pronounced over the year [1969]", disaffected former Weatherman member Cathy Wilkerson wrote in 2001. Ayers had previously become a roommate of Terry Robbins, a fellow militant, Wilkerson wrote. Robbins would later be killed while making a bomb.[8]In June 1969, the Weatherman took control of the SDS at its national convention, where Ayers was elected Education Secretary.[5] Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to riot police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot confrontation between labor supporters and the police.[9] The blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway.[10] (The statue was rebuilt and unveiled on May 4, 1970, and blown up again by other Weathermen on October 6, 1970. Rebuilding it yet again, the city posted a 24-hour police guard to prevent another blast.[10]) Ayers participated in the Days of Rage riot in Chicago in October 1969, and in December was at the "War Council" meeting in Flint, Michigan. Larry Grathwohl, an FBI informant in the Weatherman group from the fall of 1969 to the spring of 1970, thought that "Ayers, along with Bernardine Dohrn, probably had the most authority within the Weatherman".
Our government was involved in a war that was the product of greed and corruption in that time and the protest of the "radical" young people of that age helped bring it to close.
Palin spent her young years being a beauty Queen while Ayers and his generation were protesting an unjust war and government leaders who had no regard for the young people who fought that war. Point in fact John McCain lived to be released from his Vietnam prison because of these "radical" young people.
