Why would they schedule a talk presented by a terrorist in the first place?

[coconut47]

Exactly. I can’t believe this country has come to this.

[dead]

I support allowing a full airing of all ideas, but I would not be comfortable with an unrepentent terrorist bomber speaking at my school.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Were there bomb threats?

[Pecos]

Note that it was the “Social Justice Research Center” which scheduled him. BARF.

“Why would they schedule a talk presented by a terrorist in the first place?”

Because he is a friend of the President? Hmmmmmph.....

[kcvl]

M o n e y...that is one way to get their attention!

[Onelifetogive]

including safety concerns

I guess they just heard about the Pentagon bombing thing...

[cranked]

Agreed; was thinking the same damn thing myself.

[avacado]

"I support allowing a full airing of all ideas, but I would not be comfortable with an unrepentent terrorist bomber speaking at my school."

Especially one who has the audacity to speak about social values.

[a fool in paradise]

cited personal and professional reasons, including safety concerns

You invite a known terrorist and are concerned for HIS safety? Talk about turning around a scandal to attack your critics.

[circlecity]

"The director of the Social Justice Research Center at the University of Wyoming cancelled the scheduled appearance of Professor William Ayers."

The director should be expecting a subpoena from representitive Waxman any day now.

Sun-Times 2008:
Ayers, 63, spent 10 years as a fugitive in the 1970s when he was part of the “Weather Underground,” an anti-Vietnam War group that protested U.S. policies by bombing the Pentagon, U.S. Capitol and a string of other government buildings. Nobody was hurt in the attacks by the defunct organization, which the FBI labeled a “domestic terrorist group.”

Today, Ayers and his wife — fellow former Weather Underground fugitive Bernardine Dohrn — live in Hyde Park, where they moved after surrendering in 1980. Federal charges against the two were dropped because of improper surveillance, so they avoided prison.

Ayers and Dohrn have raised two sons of their own and adopted a third boy whose parents were Weather Underground members who went to prison.

Were there bomb threats?

if there was they probably came from Ayers.

Why would they schedule a talk presented by a terrorist in the first place?

Perhaps because it was the "Social Justice Research Center at the University of Wyoming"?

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:

"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.

The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

Obama claims he was "only 8 years old" then. Except Barack was born in August 1961. And the Pentagon bombing was on May 19, 1972.

The Weather Underground didn't even EXIST until October of 1969. They were a 1970s/1980s terrorist outfit and Barack was shucking and jiving about it all being when he was a little kid living in Indonesia.

[highlander_UW]

Note that it was the “Social Justice Research Center” which scheduled him. BARF.

Which begs the question as to why a non-school entity is running the calendar and invitation process for speakers at a government university.

[a fool in paradise]

Bernardine Dohrn is still suspected in a police murder from the 1970s.
