Perhaps a new sub-editor took over who accepts that trying to blow people up in the name of left-wing politics is actually terrorism. Maybe the sub-editor even read my comment?
But still the story is about Palin, taking the focus away from what the relationship says about Obama. I don't think they would extend the same courtesy to McCain if he had launched his political career in the living room of a terrorist, especially not one who expressed no regret for his bombings.
Some on this blog have tried to deny Ayers is a terrorist. I think that looks a little silly.
Others tried to suggest I was pulling the wool over people's eyes by linking to a blog on the Daily Telegraph website.
Firstly, simply following the link would dispel any suggestion that my blog was itself a bona fide Telegraph article.
Secondly, the blog links to articles in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times - papers at opposite ends of the political spectrum who both give details of the Obama/Ayers association.
283: Jacksforge calls me racist for mentioning the Obama/Ayers connection. His logic seems to go like this: "Ayers bombed people because of racist oppression so that makes it OK and if you criticse the bombing, you are a racist."
Sadly for Jacksforge, as far as I can establish, Ayers justified his terrorism with reference to the Vietnam War, not racial segregation.
