I think he said "I wished we had done more." He never said "bomb more." I think you have to be careful there. In terms of anti-war activism . . . Let's get the facts straight . . . He didn't say he wished he had bombed more. -- Chris Matthews to Pat Buchanan, Hardball, October 17, 2008
''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.'' -- from No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives, New York Times, September 11, 2001
Trying to defend Barack Obama's association with Bill Ayers, Chris Matthews has tried to distort Ayers's words that by fate were published in the New York Times on September 11, 2001. According to the Hardball host, when Ayers told the Times that he "wished we had done more," he meant only anti-war activism, not bombing. A lot of things were destroyed on 9-11, but unfortunately for Matthews, not the online edition of that New York Times article. It survives and can be seen here and in an image after the jump.
The very first words of the Times article are those quoted above:
''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.''Has Matthews ever read the article? Seeing it now, can he look in the camera and with a straight face claim Ayers wasn't expresssing regret for not bombing more? Does Matthews honestly believe Ayers was speaking of his regret for not engaging in more harmless anti-war activisism? And what about those lines that comes a bit later in the article [emphasis added]:
Between 1970 and 1974 the Weathermen took responsibility for 12 bombings, Mr. Ayers writes, and also helped spring Timothy Leary (sentenced on marijuana charges) from jail.
Today, Mr. Ayers and Ms. Dohrn, 59, who is director of the Legal Clinic's Children and Family Justice Center of Northwestern University, seem like typical baby boomers, caring for aging parents, suffering the empty-nest syndrome. Their son, Malik, 21, is at the University of California, San Diego; Zayd, 24, teaches at Boston University. They have also brought up Chesa Boudin, 21, the son of David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin, who are serving prison terms for a 1981 robbery of a Brinks truck in Rockland County, N.Y., that left four people dead. Last month, Ms. Boudin's application for parole was rejected.
So, would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? ''I don't want to discount the possibility,'' he said.
Even Chris Matthews can't read that last line as other than what it is: the boast of an evil, unrepentant terrorist. Now consider that Ayers said it—that he was still thinking and speaking like that—six years after he had launched in his living room the political career of Barack Obama.

Disgusting and filthy people
October 17, 2008 - 17:31 ET by c5thenMatthews should be fired for trying to justify and excuse what Ayers did and said. Anyone who would knowingly send their children to Northwestern now needs their heads examined.
I feel so sad and angry at what is happening this election cycle right before my eyes thanks to Obama and the MSM. It's like watching a hero firefighter who has smashed down a door and saved a neighbor's children from a raging fire get arrested for breaking and entering because another neighbor called the police to 'complain'.
Ayers IS A TERRORIST!

Chris Matthews is dangerous! By placating a TERRORIST like AYERS, Chris is giving the go-ahead for AYERS and copy-cats to hurt more people.

October 17, 2008 - 17:41 ET by Foolican''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.''
As usual, the Republican hackjobs and blowhards took the quote out of context. Here is the completed quote, which you won't find anywhere else.
"I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough to make our voices be heard in a peaceful, nonviolent manner, but I still don't regret setting bombs."
Take that, Sham Hannity!
Won't find anywhere else because it doesn't exist?
October 17, 2008 - 17:54 ET by c5thenAt least not in that 'context'. Ayers wife is responsible for the bombing of a judges house while his young children were home! Their friends, who the Ayers' are raising their child for while they serve their sentences, were convicted of an armored car robbery in which 4 people were killed.
They are domestic terrorists (as opposed to the foreign kind) no better than Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. They are unrepentant and deserve none of the priviledges and benefits of living in this country that they currently enjoy.
Matthews is talking about a
October 17, 2008 - 17:56 ET by motherbeltMatthews is talking about a distinction without a difference. If Ayers says "I feel we didn't do enough" and bombing was part and parcel of what they were doing (among other things), then it means that's one of the things he feels they didn't do enough of! There's no separation!
Good Freaking Grief!!!
Is there ANYTHING that man will not attempt to sanitize in his beloved?
Unbelievable
October 17, 2008 - 18:12 ET by Copperhead RidgeWhere did you get that quote?
I can remember reading that in the NY Times a few days after Sept. 11, 2001. Editions of that propoganda rag make to my neck of the woods slowly. Anyway, when I read the article I thought, "Ayres has finally blown himself up."
I thought something as acerbic as that quote appearing on the day that it did would finally destroy him. I guess it was wishful thinking. Heck, I had no idea that he would someday have the ear of the White House.
I don't know from where the extended version of the quote comes, but it must be from Planet Liberal. I really, really believe it is made up.
If NB's are liars, then --GASP!-- so is the New York Times.
Crazy thing is, is that a simple Kentuckian -- educated at a state university -- like me knew who Bill Ayres was and knew about his past, but a sophisticated Harvard educated lawyer like Barack Obama knew nothing of his past.
Obama has so much in common with Osama besides similar sounding names. They both have associates that have bombed the Pentagon.

October 17, 2008 - 18:51 ET by FoolicanThen you must have also read this bit of satire on my part:

fanfaronade of strings and woodwinds and the chorusing of angelic
voices from upon high...
Of course, that's just with La donna è mobile
in the background. Depending on your selection of opera music, not to
mention the quality of the stereo you have, you might achieve an
entirely different result.
And, naturally, one simply cannot listen to the speech cold turkey. That's like Free Bird without the guitars in the background!"

October 17, 2008 - 18:58 ET by FoolicanIf you are unclear on my actual positions, then I shall go into detail.
I am a fiscal conservative, social libertarian-slash-conservative core ideals, who will vote Republican if the candidate fits the shoe and will vote Democrat never. I regularly go to Newsbusters, AmericanThinker, Giovanni's, Drudge Report, and Boortz.com. As such, I also listen to my two local conservative radio hosts, as well as Neal Boortz, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity (on occasion) and Michael Savage. I am seventeen years old, pro gun-ownership, pro FairTax, pro drilling, pro nuclear, etc.. My parents are voting Republican this year. A majority of people in my community in Alachua are vehemently pro-McCain, and rightly so.
You should put that...

If he wanted voices to be heard in a peaceful and nonviolent manner, HE WOULDN'T HAVE USED !@#$ING BOMBS.
I do appreciate seeing the full quote - if it is indeed accurate, however the crux of the statement still holds true, he is an unrepentant terrorist. I hold him in the same regard as McVeigh, Kaczynski, or the Earth Liberation Front.
The fact that Obama started his career in this guy's living room, worked with him on the Annenberg Challenge, and who knows what else... makes me wonder if 'ol Barack is willfully ignorant or undeniably stupid.

October 17, 2008 - 21:43 ET by motherbeltHere is the original article from the NYT

The embellishments here are fabrications.
But, IMO, the real money quote from that article is:
So, would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? ''I don't want to discount the possibility,'' he said.
Not only unrepentant, but leaving the door open for more of the same.
The money quote
October 18, 2008 - 08:25 ET by CobraMan"I still don't regret setting bombs"
Just who's lying here. Ayers or "Republican hackjobs and blowhards?" This mtrator admits to setting bombs and not regretting it, but he has the GALL to make a false claim of remorse because "we didn't do enough to make our voices be heard in a peaceful, nonviolent manner?" That's BS! Ayers is the one who set the bombs! He could have "done" more "peaceful" things, but he didn't. Planning and commiting violant acts like placing and exploding bombs in opublic and private places were HIS choices; they weren't forced upon him. If he REALLY wanted to use peaceful means of protesting, he could havedone so without resorting to violence. The fact is that he DIDN’T chose peaceful protests, he chose militancy and he doesn't regret that choice. That makes Ayres the liar for claiming that he "wished" HE’D have been more peaceful.

October 17, 2008 - 17:41 ET by Chris NormanLiberals, especially in the media, play this game a lot. They say that there are at least two ways to interpret some controversial quote from a liberal and that conservatives always choose the more sinister interpretation - or that we leave out the part of the quote that alters the meaning to something more innocent. Sometimes, though they just can't pull it off because the facts get in the way - not that Matthews is going to go back and say he stands corrected.

BTW, it's no surprise about Powell. Despite his service to the country in the military, it was pretty much known that he was fairly liberal on domestic issues and I don't think he served as Secretary of State in an enthusiastic way - I think he was one of the drags on the whole Iraq situation.

I said in the other thread
October 17, 2008 - 21:57 ET by motherbeltI said in the other thread that that would be no surprise.
Powell never really was a Republican. More of a semi-moderate Democrat who managed to get along with both sides. And he's not immune to the race issue, either.
I don't think he's ever endorsed a Presidential candidate before, has he?
Frankly, I will lose respect for him if he does...it will just seem like he has been waiting for a black candidate to endorse.
There. I said it. Someone had to.
Also, a lot of the media are pushing this, saying they have polls that show a lot of people would be swayed by Powell's endorsement. Give me a break. No one is going to decide their vote on what Colin Powell says. I simply don't believe it.
More of their push-reporting. If Powell does endorse Obama, the race will be declared over by the MSM.
Oh yeah mb...it will be the

This makes me ill really, I have never liked Powell for a long time so it is no surprise to me...he has been a back-stabbing guy in a lot of ways...he and McCain were so-called close too, so what goes around comes around, but actually I would be getting into far much more than I feel like tonight...
I will leave it at that.

Get Off his Back! Chris Matthews is Legally Bound to the LSOP
October 18, 2008 - 00:13 ET by Rush FanChris Matthews is a liberal. Liberals start with this famous mantra: "You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts."
AND modify and codify it to the Liberal Standard Operating Procedure (LSOP): "You're entitled to your own facts, as well as your own opinion."
Chris Matthews is just following the LSOP that all liberals (Barney Franks, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Russ Feingold, Ted Kennedy, Keith Olbermann, Barack Hussein Obama, Bill Maher, etc.) are required by law to follow: (ref: Soros, George (György Schwartz) & Bill Ayers, Class Struggle, Proletarian Revolution, and Obfuscation Act of 1985, codified in a note to 23 & 2199 USCS Sel Cas. Ch.61; 25 ER 223.)

Weasel word. "Some have seen him..." sort of negates the quote, implying that MOST people think, "Well, you're not reading this right, he might have made a slip, maybe he was just tired, or maybe he was being farcical. He's not really an unrepentant terrorist."
