The chill wind blows over Billie Ayers
April 5th, 2009
A sick creep with blood on his hands is aghast that he shunned despite escaping legal justice.
According to unrepentant domestic terrorist Billie Ayers, McCarthyism lives. That must be the reason that Americans are expressing their opinions in public that they don’t want the terrorist turned teacher to become an icon. According to Matthew Rothchild of The Progressive, life has been tough for Little Billie the last few months;
You’ll recall that his name surfaced during the Obama campaign as Palin and McCain tried to smear Obama with the old guilt-by-association brush.
When that failed, I thought Ayers could go back to his life, and we could all grow up.
So did he. But no such luck.
“I thought it would end,” he tells me, “but it’s escalated in a very weird way. I was canceled at a University last December, and then at the College of DuPage.”
Earlier this week, Boston College yanked Ayers.
[...]
Also this week, Naperville High School, near where Ayers grew up, changed its mind and said no to Ayers.
[...]
To cap off the week of suppression, Anderson’s Bookshop in Naperville cancelled a book signing by Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn.
Yeah, let’s put aside that Sarah Palin was “smeared with the old guilt-by-association brush” too. But Obama launched his political career in the living room of poor little Billie, the guy who gloated as he left the court room where he was found not guilty “Guilty as hell, free as a bird — America is a great country.” Would you even enter the house of someone like that?
The bookstore cancellation “never happened to me before. They were literally in tears when they called,” [Ayers] says. “I always feel bad for people who do the wrong thing.”
[...]
“I don’t feel like I’m the aggrieved party,” he says. “I’ve got a day job and book deadlines I’ve got to work on. But it’s an attempt to shut down conversation and dialogue, which is the lifeblood of democracy. The real danger isn’t to me. But there’s a sense that if the mob gathers outside the gate with torches and pitchforks, people collapse.”
Yeah, it always torches and pitchforks when it’s the Right who protests a speaker they don’t like. It’s “free speech” when the Left gets a speaker canceled. What’s Ayers’ excuse for Canada keeping him out? Apparently Americans aren’t the only ones with a McCarthy complex.
In this case, I’m guess I’m proud I was on hand for the first anti-Ayers protest.
Normally, I could give a rat’s furry ass about Bill Ayers, but I hate whiners.
