The day before President Barack Obama was to meet with Israel's prime minister, community activists, clergy and residents marched through Oak Park on Sunday to call for a just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
And they were led in their efforts by a politically provocative pair from Chicago: Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. and William Ayers.
The two men shared the stage for one of the first times at First United Church of Oak Park during a forum before the annual walk.

Ayers called a "terrorist" for protesting WAR (ah the irony)
Ayers called a terrorist for protesting war by bombing American citizens.
You left that part out.
Gotta love all the terrorist apologists on this board. The Mideast Peace Rally is an anti Israel rally, and nothing more. Israel can keep giving them more and more land, but they'll keep pushing for more, until they run every Jew into the sea. That's all they want. They don't care about the land. They want to kill all the Jews.
And idiots like this are catering to genocidal maniacs.
What's worse, they're too stupid to realize it and actually think there will ever be peace in that region. There can't be peace when one group of people wants to eradicate another for no other reason than they're not muslim.

In all honesty, I don't know much about this Ayers fellow. I know he and the President said Hi at community fundraiser. I don't even know if he's ever been convicted of any crimes or served anytime. I do know Reverend Wright though. I've seen him in every black church I've ever been to, loudly and unabashedly speaking the truth. Sadly though, many of the misinformed formed judgements on the man based on THREE sound bites, nothing more.
Those sound bites came straight out of his mouth, did they not? They actually weren't sound bites. They were lengthy diatribes. Sounds bites are short "bites" that people pick and choose and often take out of context to make it work for their side.
That wasn't a sound bite. It was a rant against the country that gives him the freedom to do so. He's welcome to do that in this country, but we're also welcome to think he's an idiot and voice our displeasure and thoughts of such a man.

Did you actually hear these "diatribes" or were they "explained" to you? If you had actually heard the SERMON you would understand the context. If you think Wright is an idiot, then you think every black minister is America is an idiot. I would also suggest that you never set foot in a black barbershop

"I must tell you that Israel was the closest ally to the white supremacists of South Africa. In fact, South Africa allowed Israel to test its nuclear weapons in the ocean off South Africa. The Israelis were given a blank check: they could test whenever they desired and did not even have to ask permission. Both worked on an ethnic bomb that kills Blacks and Arabs."

Reason: add brackets
While I dont agree with many of Rev Wrights rants I respect him more than Pat Robertson and his ilk for Rev Wright served his nation and he was a Marine. He fought and sacrificed for free speech! What did the others ever do but steal money from fragile old people by promising them eternity and then buying 7 mansions on the beaches of Virginia.

You've summed up the root of the conflict.
