Bill Ayers and the University of Nebraska

Go Big Red?

I had been too upset to blog about this revolting development. Just thinking about the unrepentant communist terror bomber William Ayers speaking at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln was making me ill. Thank goodness so many folks made their feelings about this stupid move known. Now it is confirmed, this awful decision has been reversed.

I sent an e-mail to Chancellor Perman's office this afternoon. Here is their reply:

Thank you for your comments. Dr. Ayers was invited for this student research conference last spring, based on his outstanding research and scholarship in the field of education. He is a distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago.He is highly regarded in his field and by his peers, scholars and students. He is the vice president of the American Educational Research Association. He is the author of “To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher ” which in 1993 was named Book of the Year by Kappa Delta Pi, an honor society in education. He also was named the Chicago citizen of the year in 1997 for his work with the Chicago Public Schools.

He will not talk about anything other than his research on teaching and urban school reform. We do not condone violence or any of the behaviors that Dr. Ayers engaged in 40 years ago. I can understand your strong feelings about this speaker and will pass your comments along to the dean and chancellor's office.

What kind of idiots do these elitist fellow travelers think their alumni are? They act as though I never heard of Bill Ayers. Hell, I remember June 10th, 1970, when 'protesters' that were inspired by the likes of Bill Ayers burned the Armory at UNL. The idiots that run the school now wanted to invite this same brand of trash back to give a speech at the observance of my school's 100th anniversary. I was so angry I could hardly type. I was ready to drive to Lincoln on Monday.

Our schools need a good cleaning, from top to bottom. They are infested with Marxist vermin.

Id like to thank all the bloggers that helped to keep Bill Ayers away from Lincoln. I know the Right Wing Professor, Gerard Harbison had the University administration's feet to the fire. The Domestic Divapalooza was on their case as well. Many of the blog heavyweights joined our local fight: Michelle Malkin had several posts on the issue, BlackFive's Pinch had a very helpful post encouraging folks to sound off to Harvey Perlman, UNL's dimwitted Chancellor.

There were literally hundreds of bloggers across America that were as angry as I was to see this happen. I'd make a list with links to them all, but I need to get my blood pressure back off the ceiling.

Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman actually asked the University to back off. I'm proud of the Governor for taking a firm stand against the commies, fellow travelers and useful idiots (like University President Milliken) that run our state institutions of higher learning. Republican Congressman Lee Terry, the bailout wuss, and our one relatively good Senator, Ben Nelson went on record for uninviting Ayers as well.

Give them an inch, and they will take a mile.

Off Topic: I can't understand how Senator Nelson, a known semi-conservative, can get behind fellow Democrat Obama's campaign. I know he can't be enthused about it and I believe he came out early for Barack just to spite Hillary Clinton. Before he knew very much about the kind of man Barack really is. I'd give money to be a fly on the voting booth wall and see for whom Ben actually pulls the lever in November.

Communist Connections, etc

Your Choice in 2008: Red or Pink

Its starting to become clear that the choice for American voters in the coming presidential election between different flavors of Marxism. Most folks don't even seem to notice; many of them that do don't seem to care. What has changed? We are on the verge of electing a believer in a system that is not only a proven loser, but always involves repression of the liberties enshrined by our Constitution.

As a nation, we fought the communists at home and abroad in the certain knowledge that it is anathema to everything good about America. We have opposed Marxist thought since its inception. Why are we apparently about to elect either a communist, in the form of Barack Obama, or a man who has gone soft on communism, John McCain?

The best answer I have been able to find is in this article by Paul Kengor writing at the American Thinker: Why Obama's Communist Connections Are Not Headlines. You should read it, but in summary it is this: "The history and truth about communism is not taught by our educators."

I fear we are lost. We should have been more vigilant.

A few odds and ends related to Barack Obama's crapulent friends:
The Gateway Pundit has a Photo Discovered Of Obama With Fellow Chicago Socialist Party Members. Yawn, its the old New Party. Here is the picture:

Barry with New Party commies. Will anyone care?

Here is an informative series of videos about the Weather Underground, the terrorist outfit that Barack Obama's bomb-throwing pals Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn helped to organize. Just more of Barack's unsavory associates. Ho-hum. Its in nine parts.

Weather Underground
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3
Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6
Part 7 - Part 8 - Part 9

Watch them before Obama's thugs get them pulled from YouTube. Unless, of course, you don't care.

...at the length truth will out.

Ayers helped Barack Obama launch his political career

It is becoming more difficult for Barack Obama to conceal the extent of his radical Marxist roots. Michelle Malkin reports that the facts about his long standing and very deep connection to Weatherman terrorist William Ayers are coming to light, even though he used the power of his clout with Chicago's Daley machine to keep them hidden.

He has failed to keep Americans from watching this ad, in spite of his threats of lawsuits and prosecution. His heavy-handed efforts to squelch the truth about his close connections with the unrepentant, bomb-throwing terrorist of the SDS Weatherman faction are backfiring on him. I and others want Bill Ayers to be Obama's real running mate in this election.

The old feeder is familiar with the SDS and the Weatherman faction. I was here in 1965 and saw much, and in Chicago later, where I saw more. I won't offer any further personal details, but if you would like to peruse some enlightening background material, I suggest you look here and here. Know your enemy. The Weatherman faction was deadly serious.

Update: The American Issues Project, the outfit that made the ad featuring Bill Ayers that the Obama campaign wants to ban from public view, has struck back. From Michelle Malkin, (our fearless spittle martyr), the AIP folks have sent their own message to the DOJ suggesting that they look into:

[L]eftwing donors whose substantial contributions to political causes in the last three election cycles have consistently landed each of them on the top donors list and surely each of these donors warrant the Department’s review, scrutiny and prosecution, if the Obama Campaign standard is to be applied evenly: George Soros, Steven Bing, Peter Lewis, Herb and Marion Sandler, Linda Pritzker, John Hunting, Alida Messinger, Pat Stryker, Jon Stryker, etc.

The gloves are off, and its about time.

Barack Obama's Running Mate

William "Weatherman" Ayers

If I have anything to say about it, Obama will be running with this terrorist commie at his side right up through November. No matter who Barack selects, he is stuck with Bill Ayers.
