Bill Ayers was misguided in the actions
that he and his group undertook to protest
the war in Vietnam.

But Ayers was not responsible for the killing,
the torture of hundreds of thousands,
as was Nixon, Kissinger and those that pushed
the Vietnam war.

The Trials of Henry Kissinger really lays out
how those in charge foisted the Vietnam war
on the American people.

Those people are guilty of war crimes,
crimes against humanity, not Bill Ayers.

I see bill ayers and his fight against the government being no different than domestic terrorist timothy mcveigh.

"The Truth," you can't handle the truth.

Well said Cynthia...

Why isn't G Bush in jail - "is there an echo in here?"

HJS: We're NOT talking about Bush! We're talking about Ayers and his terrorist actions. Stay on point!

Ayers like the rest of the FAKE "anti-war" crowd never demand the end of al-qada, never demand the arrest and jailing of osama bin laden.

Ayers is just hawking his book...am I the only one who thinks that these elderly leftists with their bald spots and earrings look ridiculous?

Gary from UWS -

Will you please watch this? It's on netflix.

This is the 3rd interview with Mr. Ayers and I find him disingenuous and self serving. Could we move on from hearing about his exuberant defense of a criminal youth when his escapades did less to end the war than to fulfill his own immature and adolescent rebellion? Many folks served in Vietnam or protested the war without spending a decade "underground" vandalizing, bombing and generally, acting out. If he is now a good teacher, I am glad, but please NPR...stopped making us listen to him.

Edward...you don't know much about Hyde Park, do you?

Ironic that Ayers lives in a home in a million dollar home area - a far cry from his proletarian philic past.

PLEASE ask Ayers about his tribute to sirhan sirhan!

Mr. Ayers, I compliment your dedication to subtlety. While people have been asking you to speak in black and white binaries, you have remained wise enough to not fall into those traps.

Additionally, you have, for the good of the nation, remained silent until AFTER the election in spite of the attention you could have garnered for yourself. While I don't agree with everything you've done, I appreciate your thoughtful responses to both your past, our present, and the world around us.

Why isn't this terrorist in jail?

What is Mr. Ayers' position on what should happen to the Sons of Iraq?

This is relevant because if we do as he advocates, full withdrawal from Iraq, they will be considerably more vulnerable to forces of Maliki, Sadr and possibly a resurgent al Qaeda. If this happens, then their cooperation with controlling violence in Iraq will end and all the progress in reducing violence in Iraq over the past two years would be overturned. So if Mr. Ayers wants to pull out of Iraq, does that mean that the inevitable result is what he wants to see happen there?

Bill Ayers was my teacher in grad school, probably the best class I ever took, as it made all of us think. And made us want to take action and react to injustice.

If people will listen to him and be involved in conversation, which is what he teaches, we will all be led to peace.

I forgot to add a link to supporting documentation regarding Ayers book "Prarie Fire" honoring sirhan sirhan.

http://www.zombietime.com/prairie_fire/

Ayers wrote a book that honored, amoung others, sirhan sirhan, the assassin of Robert F. Kennedy.

Why?

What was the bee-YOOOOOOO-tifUl
music played in the intro to the Ayers segment?

This guy makes me sick. I supported Obama but I never support anyone who thinks any answer comes in an explosive device. I regret having to listen to this fool yet again on NPR.

This past Tuesday, Terry Gross interviewed Ayers and asked him point blank at the end of the interview if Ayers wanted to give a "full-fledged" apology for the harm caused by his violent actions. Ayers refused to apologize.

Sounds like an unrepentant terrorist to me.

The fact is that Ayers partcipated in many bombings...the Pentagon and New York Police headqauerters among the targets. I think we have all learned that bombing - suicide or otherwise - is not the solution.
