How mis-informed / stupid are some people?

If you watch the youtube link there it is obviously clear that people are just ruled by ignorance. It is so sad that there are still MANY people that believe Palin/Mccain is actually good for America. This video of a random guy @ a rally just proofs that people seriously need to get their heads out of their asses.

I mean come on! After so much that happened with Palin people actually think she is more experienced than Obama? and keep saying that Obama is a terrorist cuz he used to hang out with a known terrorist when he was 6 years old? 

You gotta be kidding me.

Thats all I gotta say at this point to vent some frustration.

Terrorist (none / 0)
Ayers was an anti-Vietnam war protester back when Obama was about 8. Obama never met the man until a few years ago when he was at his house for a dinner with other politicos and maybe didn't even know his background at the time as Ayers was a long time professor and Chicago's citizen of the year in 1997 I believe. Then Obama served on several education related boards with Ayers. I serve on several insurance association related boards and for all I know some of those folks are serial killers. Ha ha. It's up to McCain to prove there is something fishy going on, not for Obama to prove some kind of innocence of a relationship beyond what he has told about. Of course, there is no proof but only inuendo and BS. Hey, I hear John McCain took free trips with and on the tab of a jail bird and sold his influence (Ayers never was convicted of anything) - Charles Keating. Now that is facts, not bull.

Was Ayres a Terrorist or Hero? (none / 0)

To many people, the 60's radicals were heroes.  Groups like the Weathermen did property damage, but were careful not to hurt anyone.  Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, was afraid they would get hurt by the Weather Underground.  This is the exact OPPOSITE of terrorism.

I don't condone property damage, but there is credible evidence that such property damage, including several incidents of ROTC buildings at universities getting burned down, led to the end of the Vietnam war.  Certainly it was the intention, and the success, of groups like the Weathermen to save lives rather than to end them.

Bill Ayres wrote in his book a statement which I largely agree with:

"Terrorists terrorize, they kill innocent civilians, while we organized and agitated. Terrorists destroy randomly, while our actions bore, we hoped, the precise stamp of a cut diamond. Terrorists intimidate, while we aimed only to educate. No, we're not terrorists."

Labelling members of the Weather Underground as terrorists is an attempt to stifle peaceful protest and is an assault on free speech.  We should celebrate the late 1960's and early 1970's as a time of enlightenment rather than condemn it.
