Bill Ayers on GMA

Look, that ABC interviewer did his best tough journalist act but Ayers wasn't really taken off course and wouldn't be manipulated.
The people that bought into the GOP talking points and somehow think the barely-there-past of Obama and Ayers matters probably won't be swayed any differently for Ayers is still a radical and has a clear analysis of political "violence." However, I never thought I would see Ayers on TV discussing The Weather Underground more-or-less on his terms, promoting his awesome book, and even mentioning Israel/Palestine as an American conflict!
USA, as a whole, may lack much progressive and revolutionary potential but those that do can now find direction from a source that I had trouble finding much info on when I first investigated at age 17 in the early '90's.
