Many know William Ayers from the 2008 United States Presidential Election as the infamous Chicago political leader, leader of the radical anti-war 60s-era organization, the Weathermen, who was responsible for the beginning of President Barack Obama's political career.

During Ayers's tenure with the Weathermen, he and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, along with others, were responsible for setting off a small bombs between 1970 and 1972 at the New York City Police Headquarters, the United States Capitol building and the Pentagon. The charges against Ayers and Dohrn were dropped only because the FBI was found to have used illegal methods of attaining information.
