More than 3,200 supporters -- most of them educators -- have signed a petition protesting what they say is the "demonization of Professor William Ayers," asserting that his violent actions as the co-founder of the Weather Underground were just "history."

Barack Obama's ties to Ayers have been questioned during the presidential campaign by critics who call the professor a "domestic terrorist."

Among the people who signed the petition are No. 5, Columbia University professor of Arab studies Rashid Khalidi, and No. 814, former University of Colorado at Boulder professor Ward Churchill.

were just "history."

My a**. He's proud of what he did and wishes he would have done more. What's next? Support for Theodore Kaczynski? I guess they're too late to put up a site to support McVeigh.

[refermech]

Yeah, the spelling of potato is much more important.....

[SumProVita]

They may call themselves *academics* but they are NO scholars. They are activists.

[SolidWood]

Well let all the "academics" expose themselves as openly Marxist. Bring it on.

were just "history."

Would they say the same about slavery and the Indian wars!?

[george76]

Churchill was found guilty of deliberate false assertions, misrepresentation of sources, and plagiarism.

[Liberty Valance]

I view Ayers in the same light as Charles Manson. If being an intellectual means marxists, commies and anarchists are all A-OK then I want no part of it.

[shadeaud]

All he could find was 3,000. Dang, that’s not even the faculty or UCAL and the N.Y.U. system. I wonder how many of these libs signed on multiple times.

[SierraWasp]

He’s their Tim McVeigh!!!

[HEY4QDEMS]

Why not circulate a petition in support of OBL.
AFAIK, he hasn’t committed a terorist act in at least 7 years. /s

[jilliane]

Glad they embarrassed their universities...just a list to help parents like me determine which are the most liberal schools.

[Joe 6-pack]

"I wonder how many of these libs signed on multiple times."

I'm guessing the Dallas Cowboys are behind him, too.

[nufsed]

Just people in his neighborhood. LOL!

[xcamel]

Good list to provide to the FBI...

[jilliane]

By the way...it’s totally unreliable and unchecked...all you have to do is put down a name and a school...I signed the petition Mickey Mouse from ACORN

[originalbuckeye]

Knowing that Ayers and his ilk are so pro-muslim, why would so many of Jewish descent ally themselves with him? The mind boggles.

[Lazamataz]

More than 3000 academics oughta be lined up against the wall.

[TribalPrincess2U]

These rats have been protecting their dear leader Ayers for too long.
Who gave them the right to dismiss America’s concerns on an admitted
terrorist?

S**** these so-called educators and the rats they came in with.

[lonestar]

Dog bites man!

[Boucheau]

Have you seen enough?

Will the right begin to call them out as Un-American?

You are either for America or you are not!

These “Academics” are wicked anti-American radicals and we need to set-off the alarms.

I’m telling you people, we either fight back or hand it all over and go home and pray they will be nice to us.

The days of “high-road” politics is OVER!

If we don’t fight now what do you suppose the next election cycle will look like with the hard-left infesting the White House and upper levels of our government?

THIS GUY BOMBED AMERICANS!!!

HE WISHES HE HAD DONE MORE!!!

THAT’S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!

THERE IS NO MORAL EQUIVALENCY!!!

You either fight these people or hand over your family and your livelihood.

You will have no recourse once they take hold.

You have no place to defect to — if freedom dies at the hands of these people in America it dies everywhere — likely forever.

I say if it dies then let it die after we have done everything to prevent such a catastrophe.

The left is obviously ready to fight — is the right???

Done.

[headsonpikes]

"just history"

Memory holes come in real handy under socialism.

[anniegetyourgun]

LAZ - you're free!!! (Or at least inexpensive.)

Good to "see" you - I'm back from my long hiatus.

[An Old Man]

"More than 3000 academics oughta be lined up against the wall."

All in due time, once the 1 is in, the usefull idiots are out.

[AmericanGirlRising]

Rashid Khalidi is #5 on the signature list. Three professors from my husband’s alma mater are on the list and we’ve sent letters to the alumni board letting them know our donations will stop until we’re provided an explanation of why these professors signed the petition.

[steelyourfaith]

I believe this petition reveals more about the signatories from academia than it does about Ayers.

[jilliane]

LOLOL

[Lazamataz]

I have a long hiatus, too.

[Lazamataz]

HAD.

HAD.

I *HAD* a long hiatus.

[rfp1234]

So what's the point of saving for kids' college education indoctrination?

[seoul62]

They are entrenched in academia, one word: HOME SCHOOL./Just Asking - seoul62.......

[TommyDale]

I recall a group of educators signing a full page ad in the newspaper calling members of the Duke Lacrosse team criminals and rapists. We know how accurate they were...

[AmericanGirlRising]

Also notice the number of duplicate names. I’ve exported it to Excel and running a de-dup on it.

[buccaneer81]

I hope you're not a Rick Astley fan. He's on the list, too.

[DDLL]

Well, I’d just say that they’ve provided a great target list of like minded marxists. We need to work toward getting them out of our institutions of education.

The enemies of this country sure are tipping their hands during this election. (media - educators - radical “preachers” - “non-profit” aka “non-partisan” organizations) .. We need to take note and work toward reimplementing some patriotism in this country. .. in other words “throw the anti-American bums out”.

[Lazamataz]

I’ve been Rick-Rolled!!!!

[coalman]

I looked up some of the people on that petition,I tell you what,,,its scary,,radicals from the far left!!and other fruitcakes,,geeshhh! This great country cannot fall without a fight,,keep your kids far away from these vermin,,of course theres many more like them,,but,by far,these are the worst.

[goodnesswins]

Here's an interesting one.....

Mitchel Cohen Brooklyn Greens / Green Party, and SUNY Stony Brook SDS (back when ... )

[pointsal]

Now, we have the short list of loonie lefties that need to be pared from the academic employment rolls.... Are these names posted anywhere?

[ErnBatavia]

I signed the petition Mickey Mouse from ACORN

I may go in and do an Osama Bin Laden...

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

I'm glad there is a list of these professors. Go down the list. Round up the terrorist sympathizers who support a bomb-making and bomb detonating Marxists.

Deport all 3,200 of these communist trouble-makers.

[buccaneer81]

LOL!

[threeoeight]

Pull them before HUAC!!!!

[lone star annie]

We should all sign it with some goofy names and organizations. I think I will sign it as Seymour Butts from Brown University. Anyone got any other ideas?

[threeoeight]

Another word: purge

[Twinkie]

Yes, and Adolph Hitler, founder of the Nazi Party in Germany, and his evil deeds and ruination of a country and costing millions of lives in this world are “just history”.

[Las Vegas Ron]

were just "history."

Too bad that's not true
