The Ayers “We Were Just Trying To Do Property Damage” Lie [ Debunked ]
Just to add to the observations of Jonah’s reader, I’ve addressed Ayers’ preposterous claim about only wanting to damage property, not kill people, in a prior post — and Jonah has talked about this, too. Anyway, here are the major points from my prior post:
[I]n 1970[,] three of [Ayers’] confederates, including his then girlfriend Diana Oughton, were accidentally killed when the explosive they were building to Ayers specifications (Ayers was a bomb designer) went off during construction. As noted in Ayers’ Discover the Networks profile, the explosive had been a nail bomb. Back when Ayers was being more honest about his intentions, he admitted that the purpose of that bomb had been to murder United States soldiers:
That bomb had been intended for detonation at a dance that was to be attended by army soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plan been successfully executed. Ayers attested that the bomb would have done serious damage, “tearing through windows and walls and, yes, people too.”
In fact, Ayers was a founder of the Weatherman terror group and he defined its purpose as carrying out murder. Again, from Discover the Networks:
Characterizing Weatherman as “an American Red Army,” Ayers summed up the organization’s ideology as follows: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.”
…Obama’s got a lot of explaining to do for keeping this kind of company (among some of his other notorious, America-hating company). Maybe some day the McCain campaign will press for that explanation — hopefully before Inauguration Day.
