pom pom = an automatic rapid-firing, small-calibre cannon, esp a type of anti-aircraft cannon used in World War II

pom pon = a decorative ball of fluff, often shaken by cheerleaders

Just wondering which you mean....

I believe you know which definition I mean.

Former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton confirmed that al Mansour helped Obama get into Harvard (maybe Sutton was lying too) .

From there ,the dots connect as al Mansour has clear links to Ayers . Every other aspect of Obama's rise has an Ayers connection.
Too many ships sailing in the same sea to be a coincidence.

I don't see any defending in this thread, I see people correcting you and tom on the link you are making that isn't there.

That's funny, I don't see me making any link so that would be you making a link that isn't there.

If it makes you feel better I'll rephrase, why are you guys apologists for this terrorist scumbag?

Well then if there is no link between Ayers and Obama this is a non-thread.

why are you guys apologists for this terrorist scumbag

Once again I see no one doing that in this thread.

NK, the only thing irrelevant here are your contributions to this thread.

If you have to post that derogatory comment then I guess I won. :)

If it makes you feel better, OK.

Now, why do you guys defend this terrorist scumbag?

"Ayers is denied because of personal spite?"

"Doesn't seem ummmm ethical."-Wondergirl

That's a defense, and I'll phrase the question how I please.

"Ayers is denied because of personal spite?"

"Doesn't seem ummmm ethical."-Wondergirl

She seems to be commenting the reason for a university to deny a promotion. Not a defense or support of a terrorist. Kind of like if you were denied a promotion because you spraypainted the company's wall when you were 18. If someone said that seemed unethical no one would scream "WHY ARE PEOPLE DEFENDING THIS NEOCON?????"

[Wondergirl]

I agree that Ayers should not have been named emeritus, but the reason why it was done was all wrong. It reminded me of how we ended up in Iraq.

[tomder55]

Well that's a Kennedy for you. They support terrorists until one of their own get's wacked .

[Wondergirl]

Well that's a Kennedy for ya. They support terrorists until one of their own get's wacked .

Ayers should not be named professor emeritus. Why not?

[tomder55]

Because he should not be a professor . Because he is a poor representative for the University with his continued terror supporting ,and his past terrorist activities. Because his terrorist activities led to his direct and/or indirect culpability in murder .

Bombing the Capitol, the Pentagon, police stations, robbing banks and murder vs. graffiti. No I don't see how one's kind of like the other.

The facts is, William Ayers and his wife are unrepentant terrorists who engaged in a self-declared war against their country, yet have been embraced with open arms by the left. Why?

Making stuff up again I see.

[tomder55]

Nothing made up in Steve's reply. Ayers bragged about his terrorism in his memoir . 'Fugitive Days'. He was interviewed by the NY Slimes about the book and his quote that he wished he'd done more bombing. The Slimes made it their front page story on 9-11-01.

[NeedKarma]

It's on the front page so you conclude the "left embraces him"? Ignorance abounds here.

[Wondergirl]

William Ayers and his wife are unrepentant [domestic] terrorists

There you go! I agree. He was an arrogant rich kid caught up in the times (which I happily was slightly too old to get caught up in). But he's never repented, never said he's sorry. Even though he occasionally comes up with some good ideas about how to educate, that doesn't erase the rest of what he stands for.

P.S. The "left" doesn't embrace him.

[speechlesstx]

Pay attention, NK, even Wondergirl noted how he hosted "Obama's first neighborhood "meet and greet the presidential candidate" event." I'd say hosting the future president is an embrace.

AND that was because they lived in the same neighborhood and not because they were best friends. Do you know all your neighbors intimately? I don't even know the people on my own block!

If I thought one of my neighbors might have a chance to become president of the U.S. I'd kick in $200 bucks and my living room.

[tomder55]

The question is why would the President agree to it knowing the history of Ayers ? Answer Because he "owes " him.
