I don't think you're refuting me by bringing up a domestic terrorist that accomplished no positive social change through their violent acts. It's a far stretch to even imply the highly limited interactions between Ayers and Obama were in some way responsible for his rise to the presidency or that Ayers in any way influenced Obama to regard violence as the correct path for social change. In fact, considering the ridiculous guilt-by-association he was subject to, it's more accurate to say Obama became president despite that limited connection, not because of it. In short, the overblown Ayers-Obama link doesn't contradict my statement regarding peaceful protest.
