More Than 3,000 Academics Sign Pro-Ayers Petition (Mega Barf Alert)
FoxNews ^ | 22 October 2008 | FoxNews

Posted on 10/22/2008 3:08:46 PM PDT by batter

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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???
