One more reason NOT to send your kids to college.

Education is a pool of group-think that is becoming ever-more concentrated as the the heat of socialism is added to it.

Ummmm....let’s look at this a little closer. 3200 signatures is quite a bit. 300+ million is a little more. That’s 300+ million that don’t want this guy around. Guess they loose huh?

Ayers "built an extraordinary life," said Lawrence Grossberg, a University of North Carolina Chapel Hill communications studies professor who signed the petition. "He has become one of the leading scholars in the field of education. (People are) excoriating him for things he did 40 years ago and misrepresenting what he has done since, in order to make someone else suffer. That doesn't seem very American to me."

Lawrence Grossberg is an ignorant fool.

Does anyone know why Bill Ayers isn’t in jail for setting off bombs in federal buildings?

If I recall correctly he was a fugitive from justice, in hiding for many years. Was there not enough evidence against him? He never went on trial, did he? Did some flunkie of his actually set off the bombs, so his fingerprints weren’t on the actual bombs???

And how does such a person get to be appointed to be a college professor in a public university? Don’t they do background checks in colleges when they hire people? Are the college administrators so liberal that they don’t give a blank who they hire to teach our young people? Or do they only screen for conservative views in colleges anymore? Since Ayers opposed the Vietnam War, he is forever forgiven for whatever he may have done, because his heart was in the right place?????

He gets his paycheck from a unit of the government which he would have wanted to violently overthrow. What kind of %*%*% is this.

It’s their version of the Bill of Rights.

Only applies to them and their ilk. They are the true suppressors of freedom, just like Ayers.

They are sick and this is what America will get with their boy in the WhiteHouse.

Wake up, America.

LOL! So he is being unfairly excoriated for doing “things” 40 years ago. I guess then we should let Charles Manson out of jail because all he did was “things” that don’t matter now 40 years later.

And these so called academics believe that they are smart? Sheesh they have sh*t for brains.

This is really an indictment against the ‘academics’. Now it should be obvious to any open-minded individual they are nothing but indoctrinating.

“Education is a pool of group-think that is becoming ever-more concentrated as the the heat of socialism is added to it.”

That's actually one of the very best, most accurate, and succinct depictions of the current state of academics that I've ever seen. It really is ‘group think’, and it's worse in the Ivies. It's kind of tragically laughable that people automatically think a person must be exceptionally bright because they attended an Ivy. Ironically, acceptance of that stereotype is just another example of the ‘group think’ you've pointed out.

This picture singes my guts.
It needs to be in McCain’s ads.
If he doesn’t have the rocks to use it,get a big poster-sized version of it to Sarah and she can display it at her rallies. It would be a nice backdrop since the media have their cameras trained on her every second waiting for that golden gaffe moment that will not come.
This gargantuan piece of trash needs to be eliminated once and for all.

This petition smacks of the same attempt in the late 90s wherein over 400 'noted Historians' attested to the 'fact' that a BLOW JOB was not a 'high crime or misdemeanor'. This all in a full page add in the NYT.

Forgettable? Maybe yes. I remind the reader that Ms (Prof?) DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN was one of the attestees. She has been a regular 'constitutional scholar' that has been trotted out on PBS, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN etc. anytime they need someone with a degree and bullshit Democratic opinion to make themselves sound legitimate.

3200 more who ought to be summarily dismissed from their government jobs for support of terrorism.

Great to have those names. Then the world will know many of academia's bottom-feeders.

Can you imagine what might have happened if “I’m sorry I didn’t do more” Ayres had met and collaborated with Atta?

And educational “colleagues” sympathize with Ayres?

If they hate America so much, they ought to go live somewhere else.
