Obama compadre and patron ,former Weather Underground terrorist and, current professor at the Univiersity of Illinois Chicago William Ayers was denied the prestigious status of Professor Emeritus by a unanimous vote of the University Board .
One of the overlooked Ayers books before the 2008 election was the almost forgotten "communist/terrorist manifesto " written by Ayers called Prairie Fire . In the book he brags about the bombings he planned ,his communist convictions ,and the rationale behind the Weather Underground terrorist movement (which had nothing to do with Vietnam) . Ayers dedicated the book to a rogues gallery that included Robert F Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan.
He later went on from a terrorist bomber to university professor when he realized he could do more damage to the country by controlling what American youth learn than blowing up buildings and people one bomb at a time (as evidenced in his address with ,and praise of Hugo Chavez ,in Venezuela, about radical education).
The delicious irony is that the UIC board is led by Chris Kennedy RFK's SON!!
In a very emotional statement Kennedy declared :
“I intend to vote against conferring the honorific title of our university to a man whose body of work includes a book dedicated in part to the man who murdered my father, Robert F. Kennedy,” .....
“There is nothing more antithetical to the hopes for a university that is lively and yet civil, or to the hopes of our founding fathers for their great experiment of a self-governing people, than to permanently seal off debate with one's opponents by killing them.”
BAM!!
Ayer's chickens coming home to roost!
The next thing for the board to do is to expel him from the University for spreading his hatred of his country to generations of American youth . As for young Kennedy... it is all well and good that you took this action for a personal vendetta . Now let's hear your condemnation of Ayers for his past terrorist activities.
