Raucous Protest Greets William Ayers at Moraga Speaking Engagement
Contra Costa Times ^ | o1/28/09 | Paul Thissen

Posted on 01/28/2009 9:04:38 PM PST by Harley

MORAGA — The shouts of "Shame on you!" resounded across the small Saint Mary's College campus Wednesday night, where under the glare of television lights, a couple hundred sign-carrying, flag-waving protesters gathered around a megaphone to object to an appearance by 1960s anti-war militant William Ayers.

Good..finally some of the commie scums are getting the handout they give decent conservatives who are invited to colleges to speak and then get pies tossed at them or worse.

If the speaker had been Karl Rove the video of this would have run in the first 15 mionutes of the CBS evening “news”.

A couple of points. This was the demonstration FReepers were encouraged to attend though no mention of that was made in the article. Second, no mention is made of radical Ayers’ close association with a socialist community organizer by the name of B. Hussein Obama.

Great to see this. Found it interesting that the media works so hard to make our side look bad. Like with these quotes:

"Most of the protest and its speeches took place before Ayers spoke, but even as he took the stage inside the college's Soda Center, protesters outside crowded toward the doors and shouted, "Cop Killer!"

Ayers has never been convicted of killing anyone.

Or this one:

"At least one man had to be escorted out of the auditorium by campus public safety officials when he walked up to the podium where Ayers was speaking, carrying a book that resembled a Bible, and began shouting profanities."

I mean, honestly. I can't wait for the demise of the so-called "traditional" midstream media outlets.

No, he just pretty much admitted he did it in a media interview, I believe. Shows the media hasn't changed much since Ayers' heyday as an American killer.

"Free speech does not give him the right to lie," Grathwohl said.

Is this the official FBI position on the First Amendment?

Neither was Hitler or Stalin.

The crowd roared and chanted, encouraged by speeches by an FBI informant who had infiltrated the Weathermen and by a police officer who had been on the scene of a bombing at a San Francisco police station that killed a sergeant. The officer said the bomb was set by Ayers' wife, Bernardine Dohrn, a fellow Weather Underground leader.

Are Mr. and Mrs. Ayers guilty? Why can't we find out? Who is protecting them? The academe employees? The MSM employees? .. and now, the President of the United States of America?

“Tomorrow this scum is speaking at U of Michigan if he survives Saint Mary’s tonight.”

He survived. When confronted at the first part of his talk he said he would stay and answer all questions after his talk - most of us respected that. When Q&A time came he restated it and called on students first. His answers to the few that had the opportunity were long and drawn out. Times up. He did stay a few minutes more as the crowd broke up. There were no public answers as the microphones were then off.

He is a slick, intelligent, liar and conman. His talk was a veiled justification for his radical activities.

In the room were the FBI operative who infiltrated his group and a retired SFPD officer who was at the bombing where his Sargent was killed. The students never knew they were there. So UM protesters - don't fall for his calls to be heard - give him hell.

Plus, we know beyond doubt (from his trial and his book Fugitive Days) thatt he designed the bomb that blew up and killled his girlfriend. Thatt bomb was to be deployed at a dance at Fort Dix. That means Ayers is guilty of about 200 counts of conspiracy to murder.

Oh, you never know, fate has a funny way of righting the scales and one day the terrorist William Ayers and his terrorist wife might wake up and find themselves emulating Leon Trotsky, and this is certainly not a threat just an observation on that old maxim about 'what goes around, comes around', and Mr. & Mrs Ayers are not immune.

At least our ally Canada had the good sense to refuse entry to that POS last week.
