Bill Ayers Finds New Home on the Web

I predicted it days after it happened: That the beloved and woefully incompetent terrorist Bill Ayers would join his fellow travelers at the Huffington Post blog. And so, this week, he's written some hilarious nonsense about education, using a kind of mental terrorism meant to blow your mind, but instead only blows.

But what a great idea for the frustrated bomber inside all of us! I mean, let's say you're in a hurry and you need some nutty Marxist rhetoric to impress a co-ed from Brown, as well as advice on how to make a bomb!

Wouldn't it be great to find all that information in one place?

Thank you, Arianna Huffington. Again, you show that you're more than just the lost Gabor sister and that America is such a great place that even a failed boob of a terrorist can find a job, "uni-blogging."

The NYTs should jump on this trend and hire the Unibomber to do commentary.

(grin!) and the Washington Post could even hire Timothy McVeigh to do a... ummmm, waitaminit! Nevermind.

He makes some good points, however a significant portion of his “solution” is the old canard of throwing more money at the problem. That has been shown to either not work or if at all, poorly.

Children need to be “taught” to be inquisitive (or not have that nature burned out of them) by their parents.

They need to be taught much as Descartes says; de omnibus dubitandum est, and only agree with what is being said after much research or confirmation.

In other words be inquisitive and to doubt much of what is being told unless you can confirm it. However most would rather have children be quiet and conform already and not ask silly questions such as why?

Children need to be taught to be inquisitive (or not have that nature burned out of them) by their parents.

A lot of children have inquisitiveness burned out of them and they grow up to be adults who passively accept whatever the pop culture throws at them. Often bright, inquisitive children are ignored or seen as a burden.

the whitewashing of Ayers continues - next, he will be staying in Lincoln’s bedroom....just to rub it in.

Obama's Real Bill Ayers Problem
The ex-Weatherman is now a radical educator with influence.
23 April 2008

Barack Obama complains that he’s been unfairly attacked for a casual political and social relationship with his neighbor, former Weatherman Bill Ayers. Obama has a point. In the ultraliberal Hyde Park community where the presidential candidate first earned his political spurs, Ayers is widely regarded as a member in good standing of the city’s civic establishment, not an unrepentant domestic terrorist. But Obama and his critics are arguing about the wrong moral question. The more pressing issue is not the damage done by the Weather Underground 40 years ago, but the far greater harm inflicted on the nation’s schoolchildren by the political and educational movement in which Ayers plays a leading role today.

A Chicago native son, Ayers first went into combat with his Weatherman comrades during the “Days of Rage” in 1969, smashing storefront windows along the city’s Magnificent Mile and assaulting police officers and city officials. Chicago’s mayor at the time was the Democratic boss of bosses, Richard J. Daley. The city’s current mayor, Richard M. Daley, has employed Ayers as a teacher trainer for the public schools and consulted him on the city’s education-reform plans. Obama’s supporters can reasonably ask: If Daley fils can forgive Ayers for his past violence, why should Obama’s less consequential contacts with Ayers be a political disqualification? It’s hard to disagree. Chicago’s liberals have chosen to define deviancy down in Ayers’s case, and Obama can’t be blamed for that.

What he can be blamed for is not acknowledging that his neighbor has a political agenda that, if successful, would make it impossible to lift academic achievement for disadvantaged children. As I have shown elsewhere in City Journal, Ayers’s politics have hardly changed since his Weatherman days. He still boasts about working full-time to bring down American capitalism and imperialism. This time, however, he does it from his tenured perch as Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Instead of planting bombs in public buildings, Ayers now works to indoctrinate America’s future teachers in the revolutionary cause, urging them to pass on the lessons to their public school students...

Just curious, were there any black debutants when Huffpo’s daughter debuted recently?

Terrorist Ayers: Abolish The Prisons

[Erik Latranyi]

Remember the socialists’ credo: appear harmless and civil

Obama is doing an excellent job of making the country believe he is a moderate. However, under the facade lies a marxist of unimaginable proportions.

So here we have the transformation of Bill Ayers into a harmless and civil blogger.

...and the ruse carries on.

And once you gain their trust - Move in for the kill.

I lived out in California when her bisexual ex-husband was running for congress in the 90’s. It was Huffpo’s job to appeal to the religious conservatives. To me it was one of the most obvious shams I have ever seen in my life.

[AmericaUnite]

I love Greg Gutfeld’s commentary. Thanks for posting. He did the Dennis Miller Show once that I caught. He was great on that too.

[freekitty]

She is a sham; isn’t she? Good word for what she is and does.

[Carley]

‘incompetent terrorist’?????

Ask the families of the murdered men in Nyack, NY

Ask the young man who was the child of the Judge presiding over the Black Panther trial.

[appleseed]

Excellent point. None of the guys or gals that are “just a neighbor of mine” have blood on their hands.

[OldSmaj]

He makes some good points...

Surely, you jest.

I suppose Stalin and Hitler made some good points, also.

If that POS ever made a good point, it was because he stole it from a conservative thinker.

I'll grant him nothing, except a hemp necktie.

In my mind, he occupies the same position as those other traitorous pieces of excrement; Jane Fonda and that Kerry fool.

Traitors, one and all.

[Brellium]

Didn’t Stalin make all the trains run on time or somesuch?

;)

I’ve never know a major-party candidate who had as many objectionable if not totally anti-American people as allies or friends as Obama. The association with just one of these nuts would probably have killed the chances of just about any other candidate. His ascension to the Oval office is a bad day in our history. It does mark a turning point.
