Apparently “character assassination” is worse than REAL ASSASSINATION!!!
Two useful sites for our college students:

I kindly signed up Hugh Jazz and Heywood Jablome.
In a sane world, every single one of them would be barred from any future contact with the educational system.
Wow ... a “national” petition with 3,200 names in a nation with 300 million. We can call it the petition of the insignificant but whining.
charges of McCarthyism?
Ayers is a communist and proud of it! That ain’t a “charge” anymore, it’s a resume booster!
It speaks volumes about the levels of indoctrination, and ignorance of history in our country to hear McCarthyism still used as a pejorative. History has largely vindicated Joe McCarthy.
History has proven McCarthy was right.
Ayers' history proves the charges against him are right.
Oh Kathy. Noöne has charged Bill Ayres with "McCarthyism". You may consider the allegations themselves to be examples of "McCarthyism", but it's you who are charging those making the allegations with McCarthyism, not the other way around
Hope this helps

“Bill Ayers has a history of being a really great radical activist who did a lot to push issues of equity and justice in this country,” said Graduate School of Education student and signer of the petition Sonia Rosen. “I really hate to see him maligned in the media.”
This girl is sure wasting her money on a college “education.” I want to throw up when I think what is being drummed into the heads of college students nowadays.
Pear-shaped men, all in corduroy sportscoats with elbow patches, and broad-shouldered women sporting male sexual apparatus `covey-up’, then hunker down in helmet defilade and bravely display their white-painted bottoms to the world in yet another stunning display of academic uniformity .
Truly childish sloganeering. You can almost hear the Valley Girl accent.
As one who lived there for a few years it is apparent that in Ci cago terrorists have become another ethnic group and have been absorbed into the corrupt machine. And now they’re taking it to the nation. Chicagize America should be their cry. I am sure by now that the size of the bill that you must carry clipped to your driver’s license is up to $100.+
For all Nebraska Freepers, and Nebraska Alumni, just heard on Rush that Ayers was going to speak at UNL the 15th of November, see: http://www.fremonttribune.com/articles/2008/10/16/ap-state-ne/d93rltdg3.txt and http://cehs.unl.edu/100years/# (go to Student Research Conference in the 15th to see his name).
As a Nebraska alum this really pisses me off and I’m sending the UNL Alumni association an email, as well as the UNL school of education regarding this. I expect more from my alma matter.
Washed that title through the De-Euphemizotator Mark V and got this:
Victims, collaborateurs declare support for Bill Ayers
Chicago Tribune - May 18, 2008:
Today, [Bernardine] Dohrn is on the faculty of Northwestern University's School of Law. She teaches a course titled Children in Trouble with the Law.
[snip]
But it's hard for an outsider not to see the map of family connections behind their paths.
Ayers' father moved in philanthropic circles with Howard Trienens, an attorney with the powerhouse firm of Sidley Austin. The two served together on Northwestern University's Board of Trustees. Ayers was chairman of that group, then handed the post off to Trienens in 1986.
Trienens headed Sidley Austin when the firm hired Dohrn in 1984. She had never practiced law and had been out of law school for 17 years.
When I asked Trienens if he had hired Dohrn, he replied: "Yes."
Wasn't that a bit of nepotism, considering his relationship to her father-in-law? A lot of lawyers would love a first job with such a prestigious firm.
"We often hire friends," replied Trienens, 84.
Yet Dohrn wasn't licensed to practice law. Though she passed the bar exam, the ethics committee turned her down because of her rap sheet. That limited the type of work she could do at Sidley Austin, which she left after a few years.
"Dohrn didn't get a license because she's stubborn," Trienens said. "She wouldn't say she's sorry."
Hypocrites all.
