GO BLUE!
I’m stuck at home today or I would. The last time I protested in January it was a balmy 23F. Right now it’s -1. Brr.
Oh, this flew under the radar yesterday — a fresh interview with the unrepentant terrorist himself.
I wish they stopped with this "anti-war" BS. These SOBs were/are anything BUT anti-war. They were/are just anti-America, anti-capitalist PRO-communist. They were all in favor of "bringing the war home".
"Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at"

"they [the Weather Underground] employed revolutionary jargon, advocated armed struggle and black liberation and began bombing buildings, taking responsibility for at least 20 attacks. Estimates of their number ranged at times from several dozen to several hundred."

Article: Obama's Foul Weather Friends
By Scott Swett and Roger Canfield
"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who [Bernardine] Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' He said, 'I realized...America was an evil... and that I was... living inside the belly of the beast...' "

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"FBI files from 1976, recently made public under the Freedom of Information Act, confirm the connections between Weatherman, Havana, and Moscow. Weatherman leaders like Mark Rudd traveled illegally to Havana in 1968 to engage in terrorist training. There, camps set up by Soviet KGB Colonel Vadim Kotchergine were educating Westerners both in Marxist philosophy and urban warfare."

Exclusive: Bill Ayers Talks About Election Night in Grant Park
[Obama win brings commie Ayers to tears!]
From NBC Chicago, Jan 21, 2009:
Bill Ayers was "overflowing with happiness, relief, love" when he and his wife went to Grant Park with tens of thousands of Chicagoans to celebrate the election of President Barack Obama.
Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, spoke exclusively with NBC Chicago's Dick Johnson about why they joined the Election Night celebration in the park, where 40 years before they helped stage the Days of Rage riots.
The couple said they got last-minute tickets from a friend to be in Grant Park that night.
"I couldn't stop crying a couple of times. I found the exact spot where I was beaten 40 years ago," Ayers said. "But I've never been in a crowd that large that wasn't edged with either anger or drunkenness or gluttony, and it was really an extraordinary feeling."
why would anyone want to protest the presence of a maker of excellent bombs that spewed death and destruction, a seething hater of the capitalist system and someone who has contempt for anyone who is not a socialist revolutionary ?

IMHO
....not to mention probably the power behind the Kenyan who is now our president.
U of Michigan won’t have conservative authors speak but will have a terrorist who tried to kill Americans with nail bombs in the US Capital.
Somehow liberal college presidents and fauculty think Ann Coulter is more dangerous.

Charles Manson would be a sought after speaker also, on the university circuit, if he would be paroled. He could talk about his part in fighting the “system”.
All points of view must be heard of course.
Ann Arbor is Michigan’s cesspool...our San Francisco/Berkley.
It's too bad, since if I could, I would have showed up there in cognito and asked him about Obama.
