I'm sure the British would have viewed those who fought for American independence as terrorists back then if the word "terrorist" had been around.
I'm sure the Nazis viewed the French resistance as terrorism.
Even now, they still do it - how many protesters and political activists are being monitored or even locked up in the US and elsewhere under the guise of preventing terrorism?

Then we should feel free to put morons like Ayers to death for treason. I'd be willing to pull the trigger myself. I guess that makes me a 'Freedom Fighter' too within the context of your definition.
Give me one example of when a political activist was locked up here for peaceful activism.
