Trial by Blogosphere

William Ayers did not kill anyone during his communists years. He destroyed a statue a couple of times, broke many windows, and set off some bombs, but didn't kill anyone. It's a fact. In his own words, "While we did claim several extreme acts, they were acts of extreme radicalism against property," and “We killed no one and hurt no one. Three of our people killed themselves.” But some anti-Americans on the far right don't want to accept this fact. They want to accept the opinion of a victim (Justic Murtagh) of a crime that was never solved instead of upholding the pro-American value of being innocent until proven guilty by a jury of one's peers in a court of law. I don't blame them. Without Murtagh's opinion, Ayers is reduced from terrorist to radical vandal. He would no longer be a useful stick that they can shake at the populace to instill fear. They want trial by opinion, or trial by blogosphere, because it is their political party that has carried out terrorist attack after terrorist attack; from abortion clinics where one or two people have been murdered to Timothy McVeigh's horrible bombing of a government building that killed 168 federal employees and civilians. They want to divert attention away from themselves.

Bill Ayers was Not a Terrorist

Terrorists are people who use death to create terror in people. For example, muslim extremists blow up Jewish civilians to create a climate of terror in the Israeli populace, while the Israeli levels neighborhoods with missiles to do the same. These are acts of terrorism. Terrorists use our natural fear of death to terrorize us.

Bill Ayers, however, never killed anyone. He was a true American fighting against a government fighting a war he thought unjust, the Vietnam War. He bombed the outside of the Pentagon and an anti-unionist statue twice, killing no one. Once police were posted to guard the statue, he didn't bomb them. A terrorist would have. Therefore, the only labels that can be applied to him are "revolutionary" and "vandal", NOT terrorist.
