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.
Hat tip to that network of emailers Bev Perlson has formed.
The irony of a Communist like Mr. Ayers complaining about the lifeblood of democracy did not go unnoticed either.
I still cannot believe that this person gets a job at the university and keeps getting speaking engagements… This is not democracy, this is idiocracy…
Boo Freakin’ Hoo. Let him get used to being yanked. The past sins of Mr Ayers have finally caught up to him & he wants to complain about democracy (and by extension, free speech).
Well, no one’s stopping him from speaking. They’re just not paying hin or giving him a free forum. But not stopping him. Let him stand out on a street corner and talk. See how large of a crowd he attracts (or not). And of those available to stop and listen to him in the middle of the day, how many are employed and able to afford to purchase his latest overpriced rantings.

PS – Let him stand in the middle of the street to talk. Notify me & I’ll be right there to flatten his unrepentent ass.
“Would you even enter the house of someone like that?”
Yes – if I was going in following a napalm or Willie Pete visit, to confirm remains. Remember this bastard and his hoe are guilty of killing US citizens. Our memories are not short.
“But it’s an attempt to shut down conversation and dialogue, which is the lifeblood of democracy. ”
Yeah, this from a guy who’s idea of conversation and dialogue involved explosives.
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.”
Ayers deserves to be greeted by people with torches and pitchforks and if he comes anywhere near Rochester, I’ll be there to loudly protest him!
Kudos to Beverly Perlson for leading the effort to get his terrorist commie butt cancelled!
So Billy thinks that getting yanked is a threat to democracy. Bummer.
When Linda Chavez and other conservatives are shouted down or have their events canceled, that isn’t a threat to democracy though.
The left’s double standard is that only the left can defend democracy – they also believe that defending democracy requires blowing something or someone up.
Maybe Billie will have to pay afterall. There is no satutory limit on murder and that cold case in CA has been reopened. New evidence has supposedly been found and the cops want his ass for killing one their own. Should the POS ever come in my hood, he ought to be watching his ass. Seems there are a lot of old servicemen who don’t take too kindly to him after he attempted to kill them.
