And BTW, Ayres was protesting against a war that in the end killed over 2 million people, not lynching people because of the color of their skin. There is a very big difference here and I hope you can see that.

You're right comparing him to the KKK was not quite the same Ayres was a domestic terrorist who used bombs and threats to get his radical point across. I'd say that puts him in the same category as Osama Bin Laden.
