Wow, there sure was a lot of response on this one. I didn’t have time to read all of the responses, but I would like to comment on a few. There does seem to be a general trend in how the sides formed up as left/right wing, whatever wing. In the regard that McVeigh was more honorable, because he served the Army, I’d like to point out that Ayers would have been less honorable had he joined. Remember he was fighting against the war. Which turned out to be a more moral course of action, as it was a smaller version of the war we have today. Just making billionaires into trillionaires. As to taking the word of a FBI informant when he uses the classic black man raping a white woman accusation commonly used against so many people during that time, and eons before in this country; I think I’d take Ayers word over the FBI. As to the rest, I don’t think I would have printed his response either, as I don’t find it credible, I find it deplorable. I also find it an insult to the many people who are attempting to truly be professional in that organization. Do I support Obama? Hell no. I think he is just as much a front man for the bankers as Bush was. We haven’t had a free government since Wilson gave it away to the bankers in 1913. You remember? When they illegally and unconstitutionally created the Federal Reserve. A system which was at the forefront of the American Revolution. Do I trust the NYTs? Hell no. They are owned by the same people who own every other mainstream media publication. They just pander to our lesser selves so that we may squabble over trivialities while the real issues get shoved up our rears. Just my opinion. However, I am glad you wrote this article. I don’t blame the NYT for not writing it, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be written. Thanks, Jim
