Quote from OldTrader:
Let's not call William Ayers a simple "Vietnam war protester". His activities went way beyond that.
Ayers blew up a statue located near the Kennedy Expressway, the federal government filed charges that 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. In his book, Ayers says "Although the bomb that rocked the Pentagon was itsy-bitsy - weighing close to two pounds - it caused 'tens of thousands of dollars' of damage. The operation cost under $500, and no one was killed or even hurt." Further, in a New York Times a reporter quoted Ayers as saying:"I don't regret setting bombs" and "I feel we didn't do enough".
Now, as I understand it, Palin has not been convicted of anything. I hardly see the comparision.
