Default Why Is Bill Ayers Unpopular?

I can't figure out why Bill Ayers is so unpopular. He seems like a great guy. He just did this interview two days ago. He said, "I get up every morning and think, today I'm going to make a difference. Today I'm going to end capitalism."

Ask the people he tried to blow up.

Yeah, he's a real prince.

So both of you believe that people can never change over their lives? Interesting.

His quote about wanting to end capitalism was from 3 days ago. I'll be honest. I don't know about you but I'm not a big fan of anyone that wants to end capitalism.

Well, I'll grant you that I'm also not a fan of extreme radicals that spent the 1960's in the Weathermen trying to blow up things and people

Ayers is indeed a socialist, but now he's a well-respected, contributory educator at this point in his life. And he has had one interesting life.
