A new Ayers lie

Aside from the other lies William Ayers, Barack Obama confidant, has told, he’s added a new lie to his repertoire. Newsbusters‘ Jeff Poors recounted part of Ayers’ speeches in DC yesterday;

“When I say a ‘dishonest narrative,’ here’s what I mean,” Ayers said. “I mean the penalization of me, the creation of me as a fearsome person – somebody to be worried about and feared is false, and it’s profoundly false. And, the big lie that gets perpetrate and perpetrated and perpetrated – that somehow I’ve killed people, that somehow I’ve been a violent person – all of it false and I didn’t, I couldn’t find a way to interrupt the demonization.”

He had a chance last night to “interupt the demonization”, by confronting Free Republic protesters in front of the All Soul’s Church on Harvard Court who said he was responsible for deaths;

Ayers had an opportunity to face his detractors last night, but instead sneaked in a side door like the criminal he is.

To Washington Post‘s credit, they took it upon themselves to point out another Ayer’s lie;

“Not only did I never kill or injure another person, but the Weather Underground in its six-year existence never killed or injured another person,” he said. “We did something that was extreme. Some of you would call it not only extreme but kind of nuts. You might call it off the track. You might call it crazy. You might call it defying of common sense. It was certainly illegal. To call it terrorism stretches the definition of terrorism to everything you don’t approve of.” (He was referring to the Weather Underground’s claim of planting several bombs, including in the Capitol and Pentagon, that caused no injuries. But members of the group have also been tied to attacks that killed several people.)

The reporter probably had to add that last line since Raoul gave him a personal seminar on WU history outside of the church. Way to represent, Raoul.
