"Activist" :rofllol :rofllol That must be like calling a terrorist attack "workplace violence".Something the Dog Said wrote: How many people did Bill Ayers kill? How many times was he convicted for crimes? I don't condone his early actions as an activist, but he is not comparable to what happened in Boston, despite the sick attempts you and Printsmith to link the two.

In 1969 he co-founded the Weather Underground, a self-described communist revolutionary group[2] that conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings (including police stations, the U.S. Capitol Building, and the Pentagon) during the 1960s and 1970s in response to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket affair confrontation between labor supporters and the Chicago police.[12] The blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway.[13] (The statue was rebuilt and unveiled on May 4, 1970, and blown up again by other Weathermen on October 6, 1970.[13][14] Rebuilding it yet again, the city posted a 24-hour police guard to prevent another blast, and in January 1972 it was moved to Chicago police headquarters).[15]
Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Department headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972, as he noted in his 2001 book, Fugitive Days.

Terrorism comes in many colors. The Founding Fathers would have been considered terrorists by the governing authority at their time. Abolitionists were considered the equivalent of terrorists by slave owners. Were the actions of Bill Ayers despicable? Absolutely. Did he murder anyone? Did he maim hundreds? No. To equate him with the Boston Bombers is simply sick.
