It was thirty eight years ago yesterday...

Look what happened on March 6 in 1970. From Something....and Half of Something:

Three members of the radical activist group known as the Weather Underground, Diana Oughton, Ted Gold and Terry Robbins, blew themselves straight to hell when the bomb they were building, which was intended to blow up a dance at Fort Dix, exploded in an otherwise quiet New York neighborhood.

Had they been better bomb-makers, instead of killing themselves, they would have killed an untold number of American soldiers. In the name of peace.

Here's what Bill Ayers, another Weather Underground member--as well as an early supporter of Barack Obama--said about the group's bombings just last month.

We made a decision not to hurt anybody, and except for hurting ourselves, we never did. We made a decision to hurt property and I find it hard to compare, on a moral plane, hurting y'know, a computer in the Pentagon, versus killing 2,000 people that very week. Mostly what I do, mostly what urge all of us to do, is to engage in non-violent direct action.

Actually, screw it. A douchebag like him isn't worth the effort.

Anyone with ANY 'semblemce of logical thought can see this whackjob for being the dangerous whackjob that he is.

Barak may not agree with him, but Barak not shouting that turd down into the soil at every opportunity is enough to make folks understand that Barak is a douchebag, as well.
