"Responsible citizen" my ass. His conduct absolutely cannot be laid at the feet of Senator Obama, but it is an absolute disgrace that this man is a college professor and not a federal prison inmate.

John Mitchell? Nixon's Attorney General and the chairman of CREEP (Committee to Re-Elect the President, yes they actually called it that)? The man who was found guilty of obstruction of justice and conspiracy and thrown in prison for a year and a half due to his roll in the Watergate conspiracy? Who pioneered the idea that civil liberties were a bothersome distraction from the real goal of government, which was to persecute enemies of the President? Who brought conspiracy charges against critics of the Vietnam war, used wiretaps without a court order, and threatened to mutilate the editor of the Washington Post for reporting on his illegal activities?

That John Mitchell?

Bill Ayers is a nutjob and a kook, one who probably should have served time, but I've never read that he ever actually injured or killed someone. I know that there was a weathermen bomb that did kill a police officer, and there was of course that armored car robbery that left four people dead, but as far as I know the responsible parties for those assaults were locked away (and still are). The bomb he planted in the Pentagon killed and injured nobody, and there's a statute of limitations on property damage.

I'm not defending what the man did, he could well have killed someone with his explosives, and he's yet another in a long list of hyper-left wing professors who I think need to get the crap beaten out of them just once in their lives. He is not however even close to the sad excuses for human beings that Bush willingly associates himself with, nor can he even be mentioned in the same breath as John Mitchell.
