Ayers: GOP Attack Was ‘Dishonest’
Former Weather Underground member William Ayers said that Republican attacks trying to tie him to President-elect Barack Obama were a part of a “dishonest narrative.”
“This idea that we need to know more, like there’s some dark, hidden secret, some secret link,” Ayers said on ABC on Friday. “It’s a myth thrown up by people who want to exploit the politics of fear.”
“The content of the Vietnam protest is that there were despicable acts going on, but the despicable acts were being done by our government, Ayers said.
He said that he never killed or hurt anyone.
“Frankly, I don’t think we did enough, just as today I don’t think we’ve done enough to stop these wars,” he said.
