Let's say ACORN was infiltrated by feds who talked a few low-level guys into setting off a bomb. Is the guy who founded the company a terrorist by association? If you start a lawn care company, and 3 of your guys rob a bank on their lunch break, are you a bank robber too?
To me, ayers seems like a bag of shite. But proof of his direct involvement would be nice too. I never understood why he didn't go to jail.
Please refute Luke's points, and prove what Ayers did. I'm by no means sympathizing with ayers - I'd just like evidence he is a terrorist. Thanks.

Later radical history
A founder of the Weatherman group, Dohrn was a member of the "Weather Bureau" (name later changed to "Central Committee"). Larry Grathwohl, an FBI informant who was with the Weatherman from autumn 1969 through spring 1970, considered her one of the two top leaders of the organization, along with Bill Ayers.[12]
During this period, the group organized the October 1969 Days of Rage riot in Chicago, which Dohrn led.[13] During the 1970s,
the Weathermen bombed federal buildings and police stations.[14] Prior to the March 6, 1970 Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, in which three members of the group were killed as a bomb was being constructed, all members of Weatherman went underground. The group then changed its name to Weather Underground.
Dohrn went underground in early 1970, engaging in bombing activities.
In a 1994 interview, Dohrn said that while the group carried out some bombings of buildings, it did not target people, and the group's actions were justified as a proper response to violent government actions: "We only did a couple, and they were carefully done. They involved property and were not meant to harm anybody. They were symbolic and done so that everyone would instantly recognize what was being said. It was 'armed propaganda'. Sure, it was violent, and it's hard to justify twenty years later, but it was extremely restrained and a highly appropriate response to the level of violence being rained nationally and internationally".[15]
