Google Brian V. McDonnell. Then there are the three Weathermen terrorists, and they were just that, who managed to blow themselves up while preparing a bomb that according to the FBI was enough to level the entire block had it all gone up.
No doubt about it, Ayers most definitely has blood on his hands.
Bottom line here though is why does the casualty count make any difference? In the words of Harvey Klehr, the Andrew W. Mellon professor of politics and history at Emory University in Atlanta, said in 2003:
"The only reason they were not guilty of mass murder is mere incompetence. I don't know what sort of defense that is."

And seriously, Obama was eight years old when the Weathermen were active, and sat on a board with a former member. Excuse me if I'm not breaking out in a rash.

Really?, so how many former IRA or UDA terrorists do you consort with? Don't you think an association with them might say something about you, that it might be a valid consideration if you were running for high political office?
And it was more than he just sat on a board with a former member, it was the founder and leader of the group.
Seriously, alone this might be excusable, put it down to youthful poor judgement, but you add a 20 year association with a radical minister who also advocates the violent overthrow of this country and we begin to see a pattern. A pattern, imo, that indicates more than just poor judgement or ignorance.
