Being a response to Chris Gerrib's Sauce for the Goose.

Chris starts out reasonably well by noting:

In the 1970s, Ayers was, let's be frank, a left-wing terrorist.
By his own admission, William Ayers is an un-repentant domestic terrorist who only regrets that he did not do more. More than setting off a bomb in the United States Capitol Building

I think the issue you're missing is this - Ayers in the 1990s (that date is important) was not advertising his terrorist past. In fact, fellow faculty members at the U of Chicago didn't know what he'd done until an article came out in 2001 in the Chicago Tribune.

Liddy was most definitely not hiding. I also don't think "adherence to the principles" our our country involves trying to subvert an election by committing a felony.

Much like people on the right want to know "what Obama and Ayers did" while on the Annenberg project, I'd like to know what Liddy and McCain did that they call each other "old friends."

I think the issue you're missing is that Ayers is an un-repentant terrorist with the blood of both his friends and his foes on his hands.

So much for silence on his former life

William Ayers:

“We’re not urging anyone to shoot from a crowd. But we’re also going to make it clear that when a pig gets iced, that’s a good thing, and that everyone who considers himself a revolutionary should be armed, should own a gun, should have a gun in his home.”
