Leave it to MSNBC to give this piece of garbage airtime to promote his new book.
Via CNS News:
Bill Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground, a group that bombed its way into the headlines in the 1960s and 70s, says he never hurt or harmed anybody. “We destroyed property,” he said.
Ayers went on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Monday to promote his new book, “Public Enemy: Confessions of an American Dissident.”
“If you could have assassinated the Secretary of Defense, would you have done it?” Ayers was asked during the friendly interview.
“Absolutely not,” said Ayers, who bombed the Pentagon in 1972.
“Why not?”
“Well, because we had made a decision early on that while we were willing to engage in extreme tactics, we were not going to harm human life. And we never did. Three of our own people died in the beginning of the Weather Underground, and that’s an unbearable grief that goes on and on. But that was it. We never hurt or harmed anyone. We destroyed property.”
Three members of the Weather Underground died in 1970, where a bomb being assembled in a Greenwich Village house exploded. In his book “Fugitive Days,” Ayers says he took part in the bombings of New York City Police Department headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972.
Ayres told MSNBC he still won’t say he’s sorry for what he did — but then he said he might say he’s sorry if others join him in the exercise.
