The College Democrats at Boston College invited Bill Ayers to speak on campus. The school tried to keep it a secret. Then, on Friday, all of Boston found out. I confess: I played a role in spotlighting what BC tried to keep in the shadows. I devoted an hour to the controversy as I guest-hosted on WTKK, interviewing Ayers's former Weatherman colleague Mark Rudd. Outraged Boston College alums called in and vowed to withhold donations from the school. Boston's WCVB interviewed me for the 11 O'clock News (click on the clip on the right). The half-hour format being, well, a half hour, featured me saying, simplistically but accurately, that Bill Ayers was a terrorist bomber. BC rescinded the invitation. Own it, cowards. It's too late to put the toothpaste back into the tube. What I find humorous about the whole debacle is that while a faculty uproar greeted the attempt to place crucifixes in the classrooms of the Jesuit institution, a terrorist speaking in one of those same classrooms caused not a peep on campus. It was the off-campus outrage that resulted in BC jettisoning the event. It's too bad, both that BC students exhibited horrible judgment in inviting a terrorist enemy of America and democracy to speak on "The State of American Democracy" and that Boston College succumbed to the heckler's veto. Let him speak. I won't be listening.
So this is what we've come to eh? It's bad enough that a radical leftist who associates with dangerous radical criminals can be chosen as the leader of the free world, but the fact that a guy who demonizes and continues to work against the society and nation that has given him comfort, wealth and power can get richer doing so only because his existence is somehow justified because of that relationship is sick.
Without Barack Hussein Obama, who would know or care about Bill Ayers?
Crucifixes in classrooms at a Catholic college? Call out the guard! Dangerous individual working for the corruption and bankruptcy of America? Wine and cheese party.
Looks to me like Bill Ayers' protege is doing an efficient job of creating and maintaining chaos.
Would you buy a new car from that guy?
It's going ever so well, all according to plan.
