Not terrorism? What would you call setting off bombs filled with staples, nails, etc....in proximity to a police station, the Pentagon, a judge's house, etc.?

Actually terrorist is too weak a term to label Ayers. His movement wanted a communist revolution and a violent purge of 25M Americans. Mass graves in the SW US. He's a failed wannabe Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot, who didn't get the bullet in the head failures like Che (and him) deserved.

I don't think it was either. Maybe you had to be there. Nobody called it terrorism at the time. Call it whatever you want to. It was sick. This is why I believe you're lying when you talk about formerly subscribing to more a more conservative agenda; no right-thinking centrist or conservative would dismiss the actions of these people as acceptable. That is, after all, the issue -- not what you call it. Ayers, Obama's buddy, should by all rights be in prison today -- just as surely as should OJ Simpson. Now, he got off on a technicality but that in no way mitigates the acts which he committed.

RW, > Don't you think the terms terrorist and terrorism are thrown around a little loosely these days? A little, but I still think they are correctly applied in the cases I mentioned. Really classy for someone to send an envelope full of white powder to the Mormon church. I'm sure the office workers there will be thrilled to return to work. If that isn't terrorism, what is? On the other hand, the "war on terrorism" is better described as the "war on Islamic extremism." No one wants to call it out that way for obvious reasons. Tenchusatsu
