SCOTT M asked in Politics & GovernmentElections · 1 decade ago

Would people gain a better understanding of who Bill Ayers if…?

the media stopped referring to him as a “terrorist” or “former terrorist” and started calling him what he actually is: an unrepentant, self-confessed killer?

What's a "former terrorist"? Is it something like a "former murderer"?

Let’s remember that O.J. couldn’t get a job today as a Pop Warner football coach, much less as a professor at a respected university -- and O.J. didn’t even confess and say he wished he had murdered more people.

Are we seeing a double standard here? Or is there a new statute of limitations on murder now?

Update:

If the lefties call me nuts I will gain new respect for their powers of perception. :)

    no, the people who don't understand now will never understand, they are extreme leftists who will agree with Ayers and call you nuts. this is the problem with the left, they have made everything moral and sane immoral and insane, if they are not shown for what they are soon and stopped, we may be lost as a sovereign nation

    Source(s): come on now, they call anyone who doesn't agree with them a right-wing nutjob

    do you know some jerks--we all do.

    and if you're in a higher position in life--you're likely to meet much more than the average (Joe/voter...like yourself).

    take pat Robertson for instance, a super-duper self-proclaimed racist, gay basher and all things ugly--but he's on every top show--the good ones and bad--giving his nasty opinions and put downs--and some of the people genuinely like him, save for his dumb commentaries.

    obama cannot and should not be held responsible for some other jerk's actions.

    and responsible thinking adults know this, otherwise we'd never watch the news--most of the guests are too slanted one way or another--none of them are fair, and i dare say quite many are hateful, anti-american, racist, and many, many are murders and thieves and drug runners from Columbia, and yes, many good people know them.

    don't throw out the baby with the bath water.

    Terrorist is a new buzzword (perhaps not that new). Sadly, we will render the term meaningless with ridiculous applications.

    Since he didn't kill anybody, I'm not sure referring to him as a "killer" is accurate either.
