Struck by the presence of Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee at the Million Veteran March Sunday, Joan Walsh was led to ask when was the last time high-level Democrats could be found at a “hate group rally.” That hate group, she soon clarified, was not the veterans at large but the one dude with the confederate flag. If only he’d been photographed standing on an American flag, like Bill Ayers, that could have been forgiven.
Plenty remember not so long ago when Barack Obama hung around with the co-founder of the terrorist group Weather Underground, and though Ayers has since been demoted to just some guy in Obama’s old neighborhood, Ayers remembers things differently, stopping by “Morning Joe” yesterday and “NOW with Alex Wagner” today to promote his new book and reminisce about palling around with the future president.
Bill Ayers up next on #NOW

Classic: MSNBC has been calling Republicans “terrorists” for weeks, now they host actual terrorist Bill Ayers. http://t.co/XIXQnV7sYY #tcot

Kinda got a creepy chill when @AlexWagner (who I like) called Bill Ayers "Bill."

Imagine if Fox treated an unrepentant abortion doc murderer with the same deference @NBCNews just showed Bill Ayers.

Bill Ayers is on MSNBC now. He probably left his bomb in the car.

Mika said yesterday that Ayers was "accused" of "palling around" with Obama. Er, like the house parties were never proven?

@jtLOL "Who could have predicted it would blow up like this?” Bill Ayers unwittingly summarized his life in one sentence.

Yes, he actually said that about his relationship with Barack Obama:
Bernadine and I had hosted the initial fundraiser for Obama and uncharacteristically donated a little money to his campaign,” Ayers said. “We lived a few blocks apart and sat on a couple nonprofit boards together. So what? Who could have predicted it would blow up like this?”
It's getting to the point where a kid drawing a cartoon bomb will likely be punished more severely than Bill Ayers ever was.
