In the late stages of the presidential race, no other name was used more by the McCain-Palin campaign against Barack Obama than Bill Ayers. Ayers is a respected Chicago professor who was a member of the 1960s militant antiwar group the Weather Underground. In their first joint television interview, Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn discuss the McCain campaign attacks, President-elect Obama, the Weather Underground, the legacy of 1960s social justice movements, and more.

Bernadine Dorn & The Weathermen rock, and we need them now more than ever. But todays generation are a spineless bunch of pussies fed on the propaganda and pablum of Fox News lies and total crap, and their minds have been dulled by junk food and soft drinks. Oh, kids are even more violent today, eclipsing the Weathermen several fold, but they march off as idiot cannon fodder for the state, their very enemy who will tax them, disown them, and arrest them. Meet Generation Kill.

This guy is still stuck back in the 60s.

@5nickeldoor5 First off, they didn't. Secondly, the WAR was evil, and you seem not the least bit concerned about that. The idea that the people in the Pentagon were "innocent" is bullshit. Nixon belonged in jail, Kissinger belonged in jail, and the pigs who followed these guys around planting evidence and murdering black panther leaders belonged in jail.

Dumb down? They're excellent teachers, it's the right dumbing down our kids, trying to propagandize, not teach.

@5nickeldoor5 Still flat out lies, NOTHING I've said yet was untrue, not one word. I never said they didn't use, of course. Cuba is NOT anywhere CLOSE to the same as Russia before the wall came down, what crapola that is. There is a lack of food, because of the illegal and immoral US embargo. Groups bringing in humanitarian aid have to fight US officials to do so (I have friends in a group that does this every year)

America created the poverty in Cuba (and USSR)

@5nickeldoor5 First off, no, it's NOT a joke. His family had nothing to do with the lack of a prosecution, it was ENTIRELY about the crimes of the FBI agents who screwed the whole thing up and EARNED freedom for Ayers and Dohrn, and plenty of other people. They showed that so often the "justice" system is more about politics than about justice. They continue to try to infiltrate the left and violate the rights of Americans. The pigs were and are the cold-hearted lowlifes, NOT Bill and Bernadine

[5nickeldoor5]

@PrisonerNumber9653 I don't believe you are saying what you are saying. They never planed wi9th the intentions. Bill Ayers started the underground because his brother was drafted. If they did nothing they would not have being on the FBI most wanted posters.Just look at where they planted the bombs.Tell me Ayers wealthy family didn't help him what a joke. They came out of hiding because they had small kids. All they did was to teach other youth to be just like them.They are cold hearted low lifes

[5nickeldoor5]

@PrisonerNumber9653 Well Bill Ayers is calling you a liar. He said he did lots of drugs. That most of his memory of what happened is from doing drugs. He even made the joke he did inhale. Actually I know plenty that have been to cuba. In Canada it is not illegal to go to cuba. Cuba is the same as russia before the wall came down. They had lots of food for vacationers but very little for the people. Why do you think so many cubans risked dying to get to america.

[5nickeldoor5]

Setting bombs off on innocent people I would call very evil. The sick thing is these instead of these people jail they were free and went on to dumb down the american youth.

[PrisonerNumber9653]

@5nickeldoor5 What problems exist in Cuba are the results of poverty--which is ENTIRELY the result of the US embargo, which is illegal and immoral and should have ended decades ago.

[PrisonerNumber9653]

@5nickeldoor5 Bullshit. They were NOT on drugs, and what they did couldn't POSSIBLY be more justified. This was a war for Wall Street, built on lies, murdering hundreds of thousands of people. They want to party and do nothing? BULL! Those SUPPORTING the war were partying and doing nothing, these people were doing something, putting their lives on the line to stop the war. They had FAR more in the way of values than the scum attacking them. And I've known DOZENS who've been to Cuba, have you?
