This is all old old news. And Ayers has been around a long time. He was a radical back when . But he's hardly a terroist now. Its not like he's one of Osama Bin Laden's followers. I don't think this has a lot of traction. Now days when you say "terroist", people think muslim bombers/killers or the Timothy McVeigh type. I don't think Ayers actually tried to kill people. And anyways, it was a long time ago and he's not the same guy.
