Maybe he sung a mournful tune to Aqua-Buddha? Of course we all know Breitbart is above editing videos to paint a distorted and unflattering picture.
The GOP and right-wing bloggers haven't just jumped the shark, they strapped on a jet pack and rocketed over Cthulu.
I'm curious, though. And can't wait for the rabid, frothing, epileptic defenses.

Dont' forget about Ayers' past with the Weather Underground. A group that split off from the SDS (students for democratic society) The weathermen/weather underground were more radical and more aggressive in their tactics. They were part of the agitation that led up to the involvement of the National Guard at Kent State in 1970.
They were terrorists and paved the road for our nations now aggressive stance on domestic terrorism. Ayers and his band of idiots gave the FBI everything that they needed to crack down on the New Left Movement. Ever hear of COINTELPRO?
Its funny to see this same bunch showing up at Occupy rallies in an effort to "teach" their techniques to a new generation with absolutely no memory or knowledge of what these groups did 40 plus years ago. Ignorance is bliss and Ayers et.al. are actively in search of a group of mindless idiots to take on their unfinished quest.edit on 2-3-2012 by jibeho because: (no reason given)

In 1973, new information came to light about FBI operations targeted against Weather Underground and the New Left, all part of a series of covert and often illegal FBI projects called COINTEL.[20] Due to the illegal tactics[clarification needed] of FBI agents involved with the program, government attorneys requested all weapons- and bomb-related charges be dropped against the Weather Underground, including charges against Ayers.
He blew up a STATUE!
So let me get this straight .... he drops dead of a heart attack on the very day where he is supposed to release videos of Obama's college years? In the words of one NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs "I don't believe in coincidences".
Awfully suspicious if you ask me.
The dishonesty of the narrative about Mr. Obama during the campaign went a step further with its assumption that if you can place two people in the same room at the same time, or if you can show that they held a conversation, shared a cup of coffee, took the bus downtown together or had any of a thousand other associations, then you have demonstrated that they share ideas, policies, outlook, influences and, especially, responsibility for each other’s behavior. There is a long and sad history of guilt by association in our political culture, and at crucial times we’ve been unable to rise above it.
President-elect Obama and I sat on a board together; we lived in the same diverse and yet close-knit community; we sometimes passed in the bookstore. We didn't pal around, and I had nothing to do with his positions.

Ayers escaped prosecution on procedural grounds. In the words of Ayers,
"Guilty as hell, free as a bird --

And I can't wait to see Obama-haters epic dissapointment...and then trying to make something out of nothing.
The delayed release of the tape = Hype.

And you seem very anxious to quickly dismiss a video none of us have even seen. Personally, I would like to see and then make my own judgment.

Hmmm. Good decision making that he exhibited there!
He 'blew' something up?
And that's okay in your book?
But other people should have to "take a test to get a gun"??? Your post in another thread.
By the end of April, the FBI offices were to terminate all files dealing with leftist groups.[31] The files were a part of an FBI program called COINTELPRO.[32] However, after COINTELPRO was dissolved in 1971 by J. Edgar Hoover,[33] the FBI continued its counterintelligence on groups like the Weather Underground. In 1973, the FBI established the 'Special Target Information Development' program, where agents were sent undercover to penetrate the Weather Underground. Due to the illegal tactics of FBI agents involved with the program, government attorneys requested all weapons- and bomb-related charges be dropped against the Weather Underground. The Weather Underground was no longer a fugitive organization and could turn themselves in with minimal charges against them.[34] en.wikipedia.org...-autogenerated1-33
In Los Angeles, the FBI worked with the police department to support Ron Karenga, the leader of a black nationalist organization that was feuding with the Panthers. Two Panther activists were killed in a shootout at UCLA in 1969, for which five Karenga supporters were subsequently indicted, and three convicted. Louis Tackwood, an LAPD agent-provocateur who went public in 1971, says that the LAPD gave Karenga money, guns, narcotics, and encouragement.[8]
In Seattle, FBI agent Louis Harris recruited David Sannes in 1970, a patriotic veteran who was willing to help them catch some bombers. Sannes worked with explosives expert Jeffrey Paul Desmond and FBI agent Bert Carter. Their instructions were to find people interested in bombing. "For a few of the members it was a matter of many weeks of persuasion to actually have them carry through with the bombing projects," said Sannes. When Carter made it clear that he planned to have one bomber die in a booby-trapped explosion, Sannes dropped his FBI work and went public. "My own knowledge is that the FBI along with other Federal law enforcement agencies has been involved in a campaign of bombing, arson and terrorism in order to create in the mass public mind a connection between political dissidence of whatever stripe and revolutionaries of whatever violent tendencies," Sannes reported in an interview on WBAI radio.[9] In Los Angeles, the FBI worked with the police department to support Ron Karenga, the leader of a black nationalist organization that was feuding with the Panthers.

A review of Ayers' memoir Fugitive Days that appeared in the New York Times on Sept. 11, 2001, quoted Ayers saying, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." Three days after the terrorist attacks, Ayers clarified: "My memoir is, from start to finish, a condemnation of terrorism . . ."
Many former alleged terroists now hold positions of power.
Former IRA bomber Gerry Adams is welcomed at the White House as a peacemaker. Former PLO leader Yasser Arafat was too. Former Students for a Democratic Society member and Ayers friend Tom Hayden was elected to the California State Assembly. Former Black Panther Bobby Rush is a congressman representing Chicago, as is former Puerto Rican independence activist Luis Gutierrez.

They don't call "breaking news" breaking because someone sits on it, hints at it,
hypes it up, and delays the release.
hmmm. I guess you are right.... After all there's never a chance that anyone could get hurt when you explode a bomb in a public place....???
Living things verses rocks.
