Ayers Yuks It Up With Obama Supporters in NYC

Naturally, the unrepentant terrorist spent part of his time whining about the evil Fox News at this closed-door gathering of Barack Obama supporters in Manhattan.

The man the GOP loves to hate tiptoed out of hiding Sunday - if only to blast Fox News and the rest of the media for his predicament.

William Ayers, the '60s radical who is one of John McCain's talking points in his criticism of Barack Obama, told a Manhattan panel discussion audience he was tired of being used as cannon fodder in America's political wars.

Aww, the poor guy. Well, Professor, maybe this is the price you pay for trying to murder people and never saying you're sorry.

"[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."

Ayers, a University of Illinois education professor in Chicago, has mostly kept a low profile since McCain started using him as a poster boy for Obama's supposed left-wing leanings.

Supposed left-wing leanings? Supposed???

Good grief, we're losing the language.

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."

After the talk was over, event organizers attempted to sneak Ayers out a back door to avoid the media.

If they're so happy to have this lowlife, why do they have to sneak him out the back door?
