What generates more controversy at nominally Catholic university Boston College: A crucifix in the classroom, or an unrepentant domestic terrorist in a lecture hall?
Based on the media coverage and faculty reaction, it's the crucifix. Because terrorist William Ayers is speaking at Boston College this Monday, and nobody seems to care.
How ironic that Ayers' likely route to BC will take him right through Brighton, where members of his Weather Underground murdered Officer Walter Schroeder of the BPD. It won't bother Ayers. As he's said repeatedly, he has no regrets over his terrorist past. In fact, he wishes he'd blown more stuff up.
In fact, Ayers and his fellow left-wing terrorists were only limited by their incompetence. While they tried to use nail bombs to murder American soldiers, they were actually much better at blowing themselves up than killing their innocent fellow citizens. But despite dopey arguments from local lefties to the contrary, Ayers group did manage to kill Officer Schroeder and three others, according to the FBI.
Jesus said "Blessed are the peacemakers." Bill Ayers says "Blessed are the bomb makers." At BC, that appears to be close enough.
If I had the power, this guy would be air dropped in the Pacific, with a parachute, somewhere between San Diego and Hawaii.
And, BTW, how does Ayers get to BC? I mean: is he allowed to fly? Don't we keep people like him off airplanes?

Well BC had to do something to rival Notre Dame.

The shadow government protects the Left.
Why is William Ayers is speaking at Boston College?
What redeeming quality could he possibly bring to a University? Seriously?
I’m sorry — I am generally not someone that chooses violence first, but William Ayers is one guy I would like to personally give a good ol’e fashioned arse whoop’n to — “He needs it, and I would enjoy it!”
I would just hand it to him reight before I pushed him out the open door.
I like the idea of him floating in the Pacific for several days and getting very thirsty.
I don’t want to seem cruel or insensitive. :o)
Don’t you mean without a parachute?
I just hate it when FReepers go weak in the knees!

Hey, hey, William A, how many people did you kill today?
I think ND invitation to Obama has put this scandal out of the Catholic eye. But it is just as reprehensive as Obama being invited to speak at ND. The sad part is that it comes as no great surprise since BC is a Jesuit school and the Jesuit order by and large has become a boil in great need of lancing.
And to think they called President LBJ a “baby killer”.
Did you work this one up, too?
Thanks for the post. As a BC grad, I’m outraged. Just wait ‘til they beg for donations.
I checked BC’s web site. The event has been cancelled.
