This is odd Bill, I haven't heard you defending Ann Coulter's right to speak at a University in Canada, or for that matter anywhere else.

Also check out their march 6th blog: March 6, 1970/2010…a day to remember.

He was counting on the “PIGS” to help him speak, that his lovely bride allegedly built the bomb that killed some “PIGS”. How ironic Bill?

“...allowing me to speak would be “reprehensible.” He concluded that I should have “no place lecturing our students.”

No, he shouldn’t be lecturing students either in Laramie or in Chicago. He should be breaking rocks in a federal penitentiary. He deserved nothing less than life in prison, not a cushy tenured position at a taxpayer-funded university.

Bill Ayers: "...I was a leader of the militant anti-war group, Students for a Democratic Society, and then a founder of the Weather Underground, an organization that carried out dramatic symbolic attacks..."

On February 16, 1970, someone planted a bomb at San Francisco's Park Police Station. It was placed in a window of the business office and timed to explode at shift change, when the maximum number of officers would be there, either finishing up or starting their work.

It was a powerful blast, throwing one officer in the station parking lot completely over his patrol car and sending shrapnel for over two city blocks. The bomb fortunately detonated a few minutes early so the destruction was less than it might have been. Still, nine were wounded, one -- Officer Robert Fogarty -- badly enough that he retired from the force on disability, and one, Sergeant Brian McDonnell, 45 year old married father of two, was killed.

In his book, Bringing Down America - An FBI Informer with the Weathermen, Grathwohl describes a meeting where Ayers reveals [his wife, Bernardine] Dohrn's role in the bombing. It was in the context of a complaint that other Weathermen were slackers:

"Too many of you are relying on your leaders to do everything," he said sternly. Then ...he mentioned the park station bombing. "It was a success," he said, "but it's a shame when someone like Bernardine has to make all the plans, make the bomb, and then place it herself. She should have to do only the planning."

Guilty as Hell, Free as a Bird (for now)

Minor point, but her name is Bernardine Dohrn, not Bernadine.

His diatribe was torturous, and disingenuous, and I was unable to read it all (twice attempted) for lack of having an intestinal fortitude equal to the challenge. Bill Ayers is the sole reason I’ve refused to give even a plug nickel to my Alma Mater, U of I for the past decade. Interestingly, I now live in Laramie, Wyoming, less than a mile away from the U of W (what would have been the scene of the crime) but somehow missed out on this story, probably because I was so completely turned off by the recent passage of OBAMA-Care, that I tuned off any and all media and focused inward. Glad the University acted as it did, and we don't have a homegrown terrorist walking in our midst.

It is a shame that this man still walks the earth....he made war on our country, and should have paid the ultimate price for his treason.
