By the way, who in the fuck brings their kid to a political rally, only to get to hear their parents blurt out idiotic racist rants? And did anyone catch that preteen aryan making monkey noises while ‘protesting’ Nobama? I, for one, welco…

“Therefore according to the US legal code, it is never terrorism to attack the military or military organizations, regardless of the wrongness of the attack. So, Bill Ayers, by definition, not a terrorist (Pentagon=military organization and pentagon emloyees are not, in the pentagon, civilians)”

let’s not get carried away with this. from wiki:

“Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and The Pentagon in 1972, as he noted in his 2001 book, Fugitive Days. ”

NYPD and the capitol building were not military buildings.

ThickRedGlasses: Bill Ayers has said that the Weathermen always took great care to do damage only to buildings and structures, not to people. The Pentagon bomb injured no one, flooded a restroom, and destroyed some classified information.

Yes, as Sarah “I would like to forbid robocalls” Palin’s robocall said, one of their bombs did “kill Americans” — but that bomb went off by accident while it was being assembled, and the three Americans it killed were all members of the Weather Underground Group.

Civilians do work in many government buildings and anyone who attacks them is fully aware of this. Violent actions by groups or individuals against non-civilians and governments can be used to spark fear among the populace, so those actions would have to be considered acts of terrorism. As such Bill Ayers’ actions back in the day were no less an act of terrorism than those of the unabomber or Timothy McVeigh. Of course, I think that when a government intentionally acts in a way by making incendiary comments to spark an unrealistic and unnecessary fear of terrorism among its citizens, those government officials are perpetrating an act of terrorism (in principle, at least) against their people. Terrorism is not limited to actually physically hurting or killing people, it’s about forcing them to live in a constant fear of those attacks.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. I thought terrorism was an act or threat of violence on civilians by civilians in order to send a political message to the government to make radical changes. So the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11 were terrorist attacks because civilians hijacked civilian aircraft and flew them into a building full of civilians in an attempt to tell the U.S. government to stay the hell out of the Middle East (or something). And attacks or threats on abortion clinics and/or their workers by civilians are acts of terrorism because those workers are civilians, and the point of the attack is to make abortion illegal. But those attacks planned and/or carried out by Bill Ayers (I don’t even know the full extent of those attacks) were on the Pentagon, not civilians. So can Bill Ayers even be considered a terrorist? Because when I watched that video, I think Governor Palin might not know what terrorism is, or is intentionally trying to misrepresent what terrorism is so that it fits her political views. And since people throw around terrorism to mean just about anything (sort of like, in McCain’s view, how “the pro-abortion movement” includes “health” to mean “anything”), I don’t even know what terrorism is anymore.

Wow she was REALLY trying to dodge THAT question. But why answer a legitimate question from a journalist when you can just mention Bill Ayers’ name like 20 times?

nice to know that women who seek any sort of medical attention at a clinic/hospital where abortions are performed and the people who work at these health care facilities are not “innocent Americans” but then, her understanding of who is American may be similar to that of Joe McCain, Michele Bachmann or other folks like them.

Sweet god (whom I’ve decided is going to be Athena considering how cool she is), but Palin is nuts. Does she even think about what she’s going to say there?

I’m watching all this from up here in Canada, where we just finished our own election, and it amazes me some of the stuff that happens down in America. Hopefully when I come down next year to visit some friends, I’ll be visiting an America with Obama as the President, instead of McCain/Palin.

just imagine-

senator obama do you believe that bill ayers is a terrorist:

“i dont know if i would call him a terrorist. It’s unacceptable, and it would not be condoned, of course, on our watch.”
