I'm not dancing around anything. I imagine that, to a degree, they are like-minded. Hell, Ayers and I are, to a degree, like-minded. I don't approve of the bomb-planting activity he did for a few brief years in his youth, but I completely approve of the cause for which he did it. If he serves similarly good causes today in less objectionable fashion, that's super. If he does so well enough to earn that kind of influence, even better.
