Including Ayers saying he only wishes they'd done more bombings and other actions.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-69147241142497175192011-08-22T11:40:55.786-07:002011-08-22T11:40:55.786-07:00Hey guys, I don't know who this fellow is, but...Hey guys, I don't know who this fellow is, but he's identified as an undercover agent. I'd strongly suggest that you take what he says with several grains -- maybe a whole shaker-full -- of salt. Without knowing a lot more about his reliability, I'd treat what he says with the same respect that I would the testimony of any other member of a group who's been shown repeatedly to lie under oath.<br /> <br />Now, I was peripherally involved with The Movements back around 1969. I only dealt with hardcore Weather Underground people a couple of times, and there were indeed a couple of them who struck me as bat-shit crazy, but that's only a few people. I'd suggest that if indeed he heard any such discussion as he described, he also heard more people saying what a crazy idea it was.<br /> <br />I'm not going to try to disprove his story; too many other things to do. I do, however, urge you to use your innate skepticism when considering it. BTW, no, I'm not a leftist. I'm a veteran, a Libertarian, and I work for gun-owners' rights.FreeRoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269520490090087576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-65769571289604774262011-08-22T06:06:01.549-07:002011-08-22T06:06:01.549-07:00"The whole aim of practical politics is to ke..."The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."<br /> - H.
