Lombard for News
The NY Daily News reports that William Ayers sneaked out of hiding on Sunday to attend a liberal panel in Manhattan, a venue well within his comfort zone, where he whined to a devoted gathering of lefty Obama supporters that “he was tired of being used as cannon fodder in America’s political wars”.
The press was barred from the discussion, which was held at the Stella Adler Studio near Gramercy Park, but a Daily News reporter managed to crash the party. Ayers held forth with an obligatory slam of big bad Fox News:
“[Fox host] Bill O’Reilly comes on his show and first thing he says is, ‘Why won’t this Ayers story die?’” Ayers told well-wishers. “And then he spends 10 minutes talking about it.”
It must have been very gratifying for him to appear before such a gaggle of useful idiots:
The former member of the Weather Underground beamed at the attention paid by the audience of about 60 people, many of whom were decked out in Obama gear.
The crowd gave Ayers a warm welcome, guffawed at jokes about “redistributing the wealth” and nodded at his complaints about the “Republican revolution.”
Haha. Funny stuff…I wonder if they’re laughing this morning?
After the talk was over, event organizers attempted to sneak Ayers out a back door to avoid the media.
Waiting reporters gave chase, but Ayers sputtered, “No comment,” and darted into a cab.
Back to his hidey-hole.
UPDATE:
Howdy AoSHQ morons. Thanks, Ace.

Juicy as the Ayers-calls-on-pigs-to-save-him line is, let’s not for his first comment to the reporter: “Get off my property.”
Property? I thought all property was “theft.”
I guess Ayers buys into the Alinsky doctrine: truth is relative.

Using his name as metaphorical cannon fodder in a culture war. Out of bounds (probably racist).
Using flying body part of police officers or military wives and girlfriends as actual cannon fodder. He “did not do enough” of that.
Seriously, why has this guy not been tarred and feathered? Call me old fashioned.
