Large Crowd Protests Ayers' Appearance At St. Mary's College Campus
PipeLineNews ^ | Jan 28, 2009

Posted on 01/29/2009 2:28:22 AM PST by Jim Robinson

January 28, 2009 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - St. Mary's College in Moraga CA received a black eye this evening as a large and angry crowd of protesters turned out to provide counterpoint to the Ayers' presence.

The event was organized by the Simple Justice not Social Justice Coalition' an ad hoc organization comprised of many partners, that came together in response to Ayers.

Since the public became aware of the controversial founder of the Weather Underground's scheduled speech, college officials have stubbornly maintained that he was nothing more than a respected professor of education and a proponent of "social justice."

Others, more familiar with Ayers' violent history disagree.

Ayers is in California on a tour to promote a new book on race relations that he wrote with his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, a fellow former leader in the underground movement who is now a Chicago lawyer and law professor.

Bernardine Dohrn was a major terrorist and actually is not a lawyer because her felony convictions prevent her from working as one. She works as a paralegal and was a friend and mentor to Bambi's lovely spouse, Michelle, who worked at the same law firm.

Great work! Bill Ayers never served a day for any of his crimes and has been laughing at the US ever since. He’s definitely the brains, such as they are, behind Obama and has been trying to stay out of sight to prevent people from making the connection.

Good job calling attention to him and his past. He was successful for making it all go away for a number of years, but maybe now he’s not going to get away with it so easily.

He is, to Bernadine Dohrn who is a Weather Underground slimy piece of feces just like him.

Great work. I had noticed this in the header on the top of FreeRepublic a couple of days ago. I looked up the number for St.Mary’s online and made my outrage known to them. At first the guy started getting loud wih me and claiming that they were only trying to respect diverse viewpoints- but I calmly just kept up my point of view and expressing my outrage. I tryed to explain to him that terrorists did not have a point of view that should be shown any respect at all much less be put up on stage as if some sort of role model for students. I had asked him if he would have a serial killer speak there as well. I suggest others call St. Mary’s as well. They need to hear as much outrage over this as possible.

“it has got to mess with his head being protested.”

take a look at his mug shot some time and see the punk that’s being camouflaged by the burned-out looking, middle-aged old man that runs around looking like a thoughtful, wise, benevolent old codger.

IMHO

I saw a recent photo of this human garbage and his equally trashy wife side by side someplace. It might have been when these sub-humans were pushing his latest book to mind numbed U of M students recently at the Hatcher Liberry. The woman identified as his wife, Bernard, sure does look like a bad sex transplant.

From one of the links above:
Former Terrorist’s Lecture at Catholic College Is ‘Affront to Human Dignity’ Says Catholic Education Group

“Saint Mary’s College has invited Ayers to be a part of their “Against the Grain” lecture series in which “students are challenged to think in new ways and explore social justice issues as part of the College’s Lasallian heritage.” Students “step out of their comfort zones” and “explore new intellectual territory,” the college claimed in a press release.”

+++++

I want to know how many conservative speakers this college has hosted to explore new intellectual territory for its students? A few weeks ago, I saw the list of this year’s schedule and could discern NO non-leftists.

Christians - Evangelicals and Catholics - who value “Social Justice” highly are the groups that put Obama into the White House. The ‘mainstream’ Protestants were already supporters of Democrats.

Megakudos to you,Jim,and all who participated!

I hope this man (Ayers)never knows a moment’s peace as long as he lives. I hope he is dogged,stalked,haunted and harangued each and every step he takes. He might be “free as a bird”,but as someone else said, “what goes around,comes around”!

Former San Francisco Police Sgt James Bera was also at the protest. He was stationed at the Park Police station when it was attacked by the Weather Underground and produced a large fence staple, many of which were glued to the Weather Underground bomb, used for maximum anti-personnel effect, that killed officer McDonnell and seriously injured five of his fellow policemen.

The best part is the end of that YouTube video of the woman heckling Ayers during his speech at St. Mary’s.
Her last word labels him quite precisely.
Hope the cops treated her gently.

He did not go to prison. The FBI and courts claimed Ayers did not serve time due to some technicality.
