You know one of the ways that I know that Ayers is no longer a bomb throwing radical is that he is staying quiet and completely below the radar. If he really was anywhere nearly as radical, now, as the Republicans are saying; he would be all over the news, calling attention to himself by denying that he is still a radical and insisting that Obama is not his friend.
It isn't hard for people to get on TV to deny whatever they're being accused and in the process to get a lot more attention. Look at Wright.
Although, I must say that I do kind of like the attitude of a guy who blew up the statue to the Haymarket Cops (twice I think).
