Barack Obama about William Ayers during
the election Campaign:
“In a new afterword to his memoir, 1960s radical William Ayers describes himself as a “family friend” of President-elect Barack Obama and writes that the campaign controversy over their relationship was an effort by Obama’s political enemies to “deepen a dishonest narrative” about the candidate.”
[…]
He was particularly disturbed by a newspaper headline published in 2001: “No regrets for a love of explosives.“”That’s neither my narrative nor my sentiment,” Ayers wrote, “but the idea was seized upon by the neocon media machine: I was an unrepentent and violent terrorist.”Ayers wrote the new afterword on July 4, “in the heat of the summer presidential campaign, with all its attendant bells and whistles and spin, all the diversion and dissembling that happens every four years when the big election carnival rolls into town.”
So Ayers is calling NYT’s journalist, DINITIA SMITH, who did the interview a liar, then why hasn’t William Ayers taken her to court to exonerate his name and clear the record? Most likely it’s because Ayers is not sure whether Smith still has his words on tape. Anyone who repeatedly lies in public is someone who should be trusted as far as one can spit. But hey, this is all water under the bridge right? Lets just move on and enjoy the experience of that change, Barack Obama has promised for us. Can ya already it? KGS
