Tribune. Naperville Sun:Ayers is a Glen Ellyn native and University of Illinois-Chicago professor of education who admitted to participating in domestic bombings as a way of protesting the Vietnam War.
Opinions differ over whether or not Ayers has expressed remorse for the bombings. Most of the bombings were against military or police targets.
A New York Times review upon the publication of his memoir in 2001 quoted him as saying, “I don’t regret setting bombs ... I feel we didn’t do enough.” Ayers disputed the quote, saying it was a “deliberate distortion.”
Poor Bill Ayers, he thinks the NY Times distorted his quote. Yes, well, the story came out on Sept. 11th. Even Bill Ayers apparently felt some sensitivity to the day. 
He also said this in the article:
Mr. Ayers, who in 1970 was said to have summed up the Weatherman philosophy as: ''Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at,'' is today distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. And he says he doesn't actually remember suggesting that rich people be killed or that people kill their parents, but ''it's been quoted so many times I'm beginning to think I did,'' he said. ''It was a joke about the distribution of wealth.''Ah, yes, just a joke. But one murder case has been reopened. Perhaps Professor Ayers should keep a low profile for a while.
Newsbusters. American Thinker.
