Boston college bans Bill Ayers
A LEFTIST gets banned for once. Is this unprecedented? I guess Ayers was too much on the nose even for the honchos at Boston College.
"Bill Ayers, known for his involvement in the Weather Underground, an activist group formed in a split from Students for a Democratic Society in 1969 that gained notoriety for its use of violent tactics, as well as for his work as an education theorist, was to speak at Boston College Monday before the event was canceled by the University on Friday. The event had been organized by Americans for Informed Democracy.
"Inviting Bill Ayers to Boston College in no way sanctions his activities in the past, especially regarding the Weather Underground," Madormo said. "The lecture is merely an opportunity to hear from one of the nation's preeminent scholars on issues of urban education reform. At a university, we have the responsibility to hear all voices even if we disagree with them. Above all, this is an issue of free speech and allowing the student body to hear a unique and respected academic viewpoint," he added later in a release.

"We have the responsibility to hear all voices even if we disagree with them". Great sentiments. I wonder if he said that when lots of his fellow students were protesting the visit of GWB's Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice? Leftists are great at claiming free speech for themselves while denying it to others.

Ayers lost his right to share his opinion in public forum (or at least he should have lost that right) when he involved himself in violence.
He is a murderer, that's the only label he should be allowed to wear.
Unrepentant terrorists don't need to be honored with a public forum.
Ayers doesn't need to be heard, he needs to be questioned. I can't believe he was never prosecuted for his crimes.
Ever notice how these leftist groups alway pick patriotic sounding names for themselves? Apparently, they're ashamed of who and what they really are, as they should be.
We are as bad as the Coulter haters who scream her down if we condone this. Let him speak. Hopefully the students will ask informed questions.

---Not quite, starting a petition to keep someone from speaking is not the same as shouting them down when they speak.
We're not as bad as they are because we're civil.

Those people at the Palin rallies in Pennsylvania were civil? Reference: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/07/obama-hatred-on-display-a_n_132572.html
We already know how much you love the President.

Did you even bother to read the article and associated video? I didn't think so.

---Would you rather have them protest at an Obama rally or engage with the tactics of Code Pink?

---I already know how much you loved Bush.
Compared to the way you treated him, we're being way too nice with Obama.
Bush was a great man who treated his enemies with kindness, he even met with Cindy Sheehan twice!
When movies where made against him, he never said a word, never told us not to watch them, never condemned the makers.
When an Iraqi threw him his shoes, he didn't get angry, you saw the video, he was smiling, he probably forgave that worthless individual.
You worship Obama? He can't even meet with his critics!
I would rather have another 8 years under Bush than one more day under Obama.

It's going to be a long 8 years for you, dude. HA!
"It's going to be a long 8 years for you, dude. HA!"
---You mean 4 years, I'm hoping the American people wake up!
Don't be surprised if Obongo doesn't last 4 years! He's all smoke and mirrors, and even the maggotts of the leftist media are starting to catch on. He's a sham. He doesn't have a clue as to what to do, other than to increase welfare and food stamps, and outlaw guns.
But, the American people voted him into office, meaning, they deserve everything they're going to get!

Hey Mark! Nope, I don't recall Ann Coulter committing any murders. Not wanting a murderer and/or person who invokes fear (terrorist) to have a public forum is NOT the same as trying to shut down an admittedly aggressive, though only verbal, viewpoint through shouting.

I'm an American and did NOT vote for him. Aren't you throwing everybody into one pot with that statement?
Everyone is thrown into one pot on this site: all Brits are of one mind: all the French think the same: all Canadians are alike: ditto any other nation EXCEPT Americans who are divided into two camps - leftists and conservatives.
TERRORISTS NOT WELCOME TO BOSTON COLLAGE
