Maybe we would because the conservatives scour the internet to find any dirt, so why shouldn't we?

The way I see it, there was a small gathering at Ayers' home in 1995.

Since people are insisting on repeating themselves then I guess I can repeat myself in a post I did before


It really depends on what you call aquainted. .


You don't know what happens when kids/people talk in a classroom or even in their own living room. Is it guilt by association? Or not? I am not sure how old you are. So guarentted you have not lived through the 60s or even aquainted with many people who were.


The Black Panthers, The students protests.

And I hate to say this based on what i am reading about Ayers he was just as much of a 1960s mentality at the time. A time when people were protesting the Vietman war, The Civil rights movement. Womens Lib was still in its infancy.


You are comparing a 1960s radical typical of that time frame to men flying planes into buildings in the name of religion. Islam.


The 1960s were just a very turbulent times in USA history. Many people back then did things as radical teens/young adults

Jefferson Davis was a secessionist - just like members of the Alaska Independence Party. As president of the CSA, many Federalists considered him to be quite scary. Scary enough to send in the troops.

Yes, I am from Arizona and remember the Keating Five very well. One of them was McCain. He was fortunate not to get jail time.
