Bill Ayers may have been a radical leftist "domestic terrorist" back in the day, but it doesn't mean he's above making a buck now. Beacon Press in Boston plans to release a new edition of Ayers's 2001 memoir, Fugitive Days, on November 12. It will include a new afterword but apparently will not mention Barack Obama. The project comes months early. "Given the recent interest in Mr. Ayers because of the election, we decided to move the release up," Beacon Publicity Director Pamela MacColl tells Whispers. "Mr. Ayers, however, did not want the new edition released until after the election, and we have respected those wishes."

I am confused by Carik, is she in favor of beheadings for one's idea or not? Seems like she is. To quote her:

"Then when he speaks his mind they might behead him. As they should."

What a hateful, pathetic "human being."

And can't spell either--apparently not knowing the difference between trader and traitor.

YIKES lady, you're scary. I wouldn't send you to any other country. I wouldn't do that to any innocent people. You're just one of our native trogledytes we have to try and educate. President elect Obama is right--we have a steep road ahead of us.
