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.

I'm glad there is a list of these professors. Go down the list. Round up the terrorist sympathizers who support a bomb-making and bomb detonating Marxists.

Deport all 3,200 of these communist trouble-makers.

We should all sign it with some goofy names and organizations. I think I will sign it as Seymour Butts from Brown University. Anyone got any other ideas?

Yes, and Adolph Hitler, founder of the Nazi Party in Germany, and his evil deeds and ruination of a country and costing millions of lives in this world are “just history”.

Officer Brain McDonnell, Edward O’Grady and Waverly Brown were killed by Ayers’ Weathermen. As was armored car guard Peter Paige.

Demonize Bill Ayers? The Devil calls Bill Ayers for help.

I know of one that signed twice. I just happened to notice it because he is from my Alma Mater. Thank God there was only one.

This shows you what academics are worth. Ayers should have been hanged for treason along with John F’n Kerry and Jane Fonda. A nation that can’t deal with treason is bound to die.

Does anyone really believe that if Mr. Ayers was an unrepentant member of the KKK that they would be so forgiving?
