Good Morning America interviewed the effectively-Arab known terrorist friend of Hussein Obama’s, Bill Ayers. The footage? Startling.
ABC Douche: You launched Obama’s political career in your bomb house, and then you were his best friend on like 80 socialist education boards. Why do you and Obama rape children? FOR FUN?
Bill Ayers: Everything you just said is wrong.
Repeat for eight minutes. [YouTube]
How many times can that interviewer beat a dead horse?
…what a media whore, who does he think he is “Joe the Plumber”?!
I can’t believe this guy would bomb the Pentagon just because we were firebombing Vietnamese villages all the time. That’s unconscionable!
Serolf Divad: …oh you bleeding heart Lib, those kids were just practicing a “fire drill”……………….with real fire!
Thanks a lot, Jim. That’s 8 1/2 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back.
I’m sure Chris’s dad had plenty of really interesting characters “hanging around” his house too.
As I is young-ish enough not to remember Ayers or the Weather Underground, I checked out a pretty kickass documentary on the whole phenomenon, and I have come to the following conclusions.
1. Ayers and his associates were fucking insane.
2. Their insanity was only matched by their level of political naiveté.
3. Revolutionary groups like the Weather Underground make today’s “revolutionaries” look like total pussies.
AngryBlakGuy: He’s Bill the Bomber
Did ABC Douche get the memo that this guy is a university professor? The standard talking points that will confuse and anger Joe the Plumber aren’t gonna work on Ayers, he’s an academic, he lives to debate. You’re a guy who was hired for having nice hair and a winning smile. You will look foolish in this argument.
i thought the mainstream media was in the tank? what is this shit?
The dude sucked at being a terrorist. Terrorism Hall of Shame:
How many people did you kill?
“Er, uh, none.”
Did you blow up any buildings?
“Well there was that one time where I knew a guy who knew a guy.”
Ayers’ application to the Guild of Calamitous Intent just got chunked in the trash.
APPARENTLY Bill Ayers is palling around with Amphetamines AND huffing paint at the same time.
I wish this guy was blacker and angrier
I just gained a ton of respect for William Ayers. He handled that bullshit interview really well and presented himself calmly, but firmly. He got right to the heart of the bullshit surrounding the “politics of fear” and schooled that ABC Douchebag. Good job. Fuck ABC. Never forget the flagpin debate. Never.
“I wasn’t a terrorist … I was trying to inspire … hope.”
Enough fooling around! BACK IN THE TANK, ABC!
The only thing worse would be if the GMA whatever-the-fuck-it-was asked him “What’s the forecast for the Northeast tomorrow?” and Ayers says “?!?” and they say “‘Cause you’re a WEATHERMAN! Hyuk! Hyuk! Hyuk!”
grendel: …hehehe
Anonymous Office Zombie: I always saw it as draft self-defense carried out to insane extremes, like the law in Texas that says you can shoot someone for lookin’ at yer pick-up funny.
Poor ABC interviewer guy. Bill Ayers won’t be a big scary terrist for him no more.
If this Ayers character had his way, there’d be no TruckNutz.
Did he really expect Ayers to say,”You know what? You’re right. Barry and I build bombs together. You might want to becareful when you get up from that chair, BTW.”?
mattbolt: That’s just what it was. It was like the douchebag in the back of the lecture hall trying to debate the professor. Like swatting a fly.
Oh, hot, damn.
This is ma jam.
Throw ya bombs with Bill Ayers,
Ay-, Ayers,
Ayers,
Ay-, Ayers
2druk2phluq: He’s more like Professor Sea Cow than anything else.
i would smoke left-handed cigarettes with bill ayers and his big sunglasses
can we get Gary Oldman to play him in a biographical musical already!?
Dang it! That interviewer set off the dork alarm on my computer, and now my boss is gonna know I’m screwing around.
the comments re: this on politico are hilarious
Nixon fucked it all up boyz! He shouldna been sending his evil little thieves out into the great wide world takin stuff! The government requested to drop charges against these “domestic foes” for national security reasons…wonder what more we would have found out those evil bastards were doing if they did actually go to trial.
PS I like the phrase “domestic foes” actually I like the phrase “domestic government foes”
Oh god, Chris Cuomo has been taking elocution lessons from Ann Curry! Now I’ll have to watch the CBS Early Show when I get ready for work. Damn.
wow, Ayers was so calm and articulate and correct. is he on the pretend boyfriend squad?
norbizness:
It seemed like a time when pretty much everyone and everything went totally nuts. What amazes me is the sheer amount of violence on all sides that we’re not used to today. I mean now people start blubbering about ugly politics meaning name calling and statements that could maybe-sorta be construed as being sexist or racist, as opposed to back then, when ugly politics involved people were carrying out their political disputes with fists, clubs, bombs, and tear gas.
This is such a non-story.

Gopherit: It;s not BTW, It’s Also.
Anonymous Office Zombie: Today we outsource most of our fighting with fists, clubs, bombs and tear gas.
Dumpster Muffin: Those politico comments are amazing. I didn’t know that was for the hateful bitterz.
Now let’s get on with hatin’ ABC.
bigfakesmile: After watching this clip, I wouldn’t want to sleep with Ayers but I’d certainly go have a cup of coffee with him. He seems like a very measured and thoughtful guy. That ABC douche, I’d like to beat him to a bloody pulp with an extra large can of Aquanet.
mattbolt: Yeah, Bill cleaned that guy’s clock, again and again, and he didn’t even notice the blood dripping down his belly from the stiletto wounds.
Who knew Ayers’d be such a bore, though? bago: Also.
I’ve spent the last week preparing to interview (lawyers, read depose) an expert on a subject arguably less complicated than the topic of this interview. I’m pretty prepared, but will likely get my ass kicked regardless.
The point I wanted to make is that some members of the press are so fucking stupid as to completely lack even the most basic level of self-awareness. Yet they manage to lock down exclusive interviews to be aired on national TV regarding some of the most urgent (although retarded) issues. They are lucky that the cameras are rolling, because I am sure the interviewee would crush and demean them for their ignorance otherwise.
I really hope that President-Elect Hussein Hopey’s Age of Hope includes some sort of mass shaming of the press for being idiots. I doubt that will happen, though.
Condensed version:
ABC: “I’m pretty. I’m a pretty, pretty man. Bill killer-murderer-terrorist Ayers, isn’t it true that you are an awful killer-murderer-terrorist who sleeps with Barack Obama? And aren’t I pretty? Please take me seriously.”
WA: “You are filled with non-sequitors and invalid assumptions. The premise of your questions rests on the need to create a sensational impact of no relevance or real significance whatosever, so that you can perpetuate your empty-headed belief that you are somehow important. But you are not important. You are silly. And pretty, that much is true. So go do the weather.”
GlennBecksTaint: I *thought* this guy was blacker and angrier!! I thought Bill Ayres was an eight foot tall, afro’d america-hating he-man carved out of ebony!
Who the heck is this old white dude?
jodyleek: Having coffe with him leads to the White House. Who the hell wouldn’t want to? also
grendel: Win.
ABC douche: “You say ‘family friend’ but the President-Elect used ‘guy from the neighborhood’–aren’t these mutually exclusive?”
Ayers: “Um, well I think that both of them apply…”
ABC Douche: “Hahaha. We all know that’s an impossibility. Now, moving on to my next stretch of logic…”
What a joke of an interview!
Do people realize that if you’ve ever been even slightly involved in politics you get asked all the time to host events, make endorsements, GIVE MONEY to people you don’t know from A HOLE IN THE WALL. And you do it - because that is how it works!
Geeze - fire the whole mainstream media, they are all total assholes.
Itsjustme: Every person that Bill Ayers has hosted a fundraising coffee hour for has become PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Therefore, he must be the secret kingmaker. Bill Ayers is the man the Trilateral commission, the Masons and the international banking conspiracy report to!
greatgooglymoogly: “Former Weather Underground man being interviewed by former (future?) weatherman”
Neon Trotsky: Ooh, yes, clever Trotsky! Wasn’t even thinking about that when I weighed in. Good work!
Johnny Zhivago: Maxwell House or Folgers? Surely not the elitist Starbucks.
Look out Bill Clinton, there’s a new “SLICK WILLY” in town!
AYERS AYOWNED THAT SHIT, BABY!
I really respect that even though I am sure he knew he could pwn shit that hard, that he didn’t do any talking DURING the campaign. That shows great self-restraint and humility.
He was aware that the Right would twist any sound bite or video clip of him, so he refused to make any, even though they would have kicked as much ass as he did in this one. Revy Wright should take note!
BILL AYERS FOR SECRETARY OF EDUCATION, BABY, BABY!!!
acorn!!
Palin(Todd)/Ayers 2016 - the uber maverick ticket!!
Osama Bin Ayers looks like a pussy. I bet I could take him in a knife fight.
Give it up for Bill the Unrepentant. I kind of have a retro crush on young Bernadine Dohrn, and he was no doubt making with the freak freak with not only Dohrn but also three to six of her friends. Nightly. On acid. In some disgusting van that reeked of bongwater. Nice.
You know that Trotsky used to live on the Grand Concourse and pal around with Lou Gehrig
Bill Ayers: Part of the problem is that journalists have blown any possible association way out of proportion.
ABC Douche: Oh, I’m not a journalist, I just play one on TeeVee.
That was really, really hard to watch. I truly felt bad for William Ayers. That journalist was a moron and a fucktard. He was not listening to a thing his guest said. I commend William Ayers for not bombing the shit out of the ABC studio.
Anonymous Office Zombie: You might want to make those “trial conclusions”, and not limit your consideration of the entire subject to have heroically sat through one documentary, “kickass” though it may have been.
