How about a conservative who actually supports conservative ideas instead of a leftist?

A faculty adviser for the Texas A&M chapter of the Young Conservatives of Texas has resigned, saying he was "ashamed beyond words" when the group posted fliers identifying four professors who signed a petition opposing "demonization" of 1960s radical William Ayers.

So I take it that the faculty member is standing with Ayers and the pro-terrorist professors rather than America and conservativism.

Ayers was a "radical" as much as the KKK and terrorists of Islamic jihad are "radicals". He was a man who declared WAR on the United States government and gave allegiance to the North Vietnamese Communist flag. He is a traitor to this nation and a dark stain on the halls of academia.

Cull out the liberal plants. All of conservatism is good, and those who are wise enough to understand conservatism should take back the GOP before it is completely useless.

Doesn’t make sense. You’d think it would be the four professors who would be resigning

Not surprising.

I doubt this was actually a motivation for his resignation. I suspect his work as a mole was done and he needed an out. He grabbed the first thing that came along because he got tired of waiting for the Young Conservatives to make a mistake.

This is laughable as an issue to resign over. I would think that if this were really a legitimate concern for him that it would be exactly the sort of thing that and ADVISOR should ADVISE about. Maybe he was less an advisor than a controller or monitor.

An interesting thought experiment is to reverse the sides of everyone and imagine what would happen. Suppose the University of Chicago professor was a well known abortion clinic bomber who stated publicly that regretted that he didn't do more. Now suppose that thousands of college professors around the country signed a petition supporting that professor. What would happen if the college pro-abortion group publicly criticized the faculty members who signed the petition? I propose that the university president would likely support the pro-abortion students and be looking for a way to fire the professors at his university who signed a petition supporting the abortion clinic bomber.

"...the group posted fliers identifying four professors who signed a petition opposing "demonization" of 1960s radical William Ayers."

I would not sign a petition if I would be ashamed to have it publicly known that I had signed the petition.

If public university professors want to sign a petition supporting an unrepentant terrorist I think they should have every right to do so. I also think that if anyone wants to print up posters identifying the professors who signed the petition they should have every right to do so.

It is called free speech. If a public university prohibits the free and open debate of ideas, then it becomes nothing more than a government indoctrination center.

Of course, in the ObamaNation, free speech only protects far left wing liberals.

The shame was choosing him in the first place.

If these four professors did not believe in the words on the petition they should not have signed the petition.

If they believe in what the petition said they should not be embarrassed by being associated with that petition or Aryers.

Ayers is an avowed terrorist bomber. He hasn’t repented. He clearly and simply states he wished he had done more... He stats that he won’t swear he will never do it again.

This is a man who admits to being a terrorist. He was is and always will be one according to him.

So what’s to defend when this man himself agrees that he is a terrorist?

Professors that state they defend Ayers are stating that they defend a known admitted and avowed terrorist. Too bad if they can’t take the heat for what they support.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

From the end of the article:

Tony Listi, chairman of the Young Conservatives, said the group was going to cut ties with Fike, who had advised them for three years, even if he had not quit. Listi said Fike is not a Republican and had a "Barack Obama for President" sign outside his house.

This is what is referred to as "burying the lead."

What is shameful is that such an unrepentant radical is anywhere near an educational institution. Liberals always deflect responsibility for their actions and horrid beliefs with outrage at being questioned.

Good riddance!

Any person (I hesitate to use the word “man”) who is “ashamed beyond words” by the exercise of political free speech has no place as an adviser to a political group.
