Bill Ayers: Obama Should Be Tried For War Crimes

Bill Ayers, the 1960s radical whose links to President Obama were a source of controversy in the 2008 election, now thinks the president should be tried for war crimes.

In an interview with RealClearPolitics, Ayers said that Mr. Obama's use of drones "absolutely" amounts to terrorist activity.

While Ayers said Mr. Obama should "absolutely" be tried for war crimes, he also said no president in his lifetime has been guilt-free.

"Every president in this century should be put on trial," Ayers said. "Every one of them goes into office -- an office dripping with blood -- and then adds to it. And, yes, I think that these are war crimes. I think that they're acts of terror."

when your gay lover/real father who smuggled you from Kenya, faked your birth announcement, and taught you everything you know turns his back on you.

I think so too.

Funny that he (Ayers) didn't mention dimson's name in particular... I mean "fuck saddam, we're taking him out" and all his torture programs...

I bet that hurts Obama's feelings as much ad al Zawahiri's taunts did.

I can remember during the 2008 primaries when the leftwing blogs were smitten with . . . Chris Dodd.
