Bomb Dropped On Bill Ayers
Sep 25, 2010 Political
Terrorist and retired professor Bill Ayers was denied emeritus status by the University of Illinois after an impassioned speech by Christopher Kennedy, son of the late Robert Kennedy.
Kennedy could not bring himself to support emeritus status for Ayers because Ayers dedicated his book to, among others, Robert Kennedy’s assassin.
Kennedy was referring to a 1974 book co-authored by Ayers, “Prairie Fire,” which was dedicated to a long list of people including Robert Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan and “all political prisoners in the U.S.” Chicago Tribune
I don’t know who Christopher Kennedy supported for president in 2008 but the fact that he is a Kennedy makes it very likely he supported Barack Obama. If he did not I would be surprised especially since he held a fundraiser for Obama when he ran for the Senate.
Obama was linked to Ayers and though he and the media played the association down, the evidence is overwhelming that Ayers and Obama were closer than we were led to believe (OK, I never believed what Obama and the media said). Obama started his career in Ayers’ home and they were associated professionally.
Evidently Ayers’ love for assassins was too much for emeritus status but his association with a radical community organizing Socialist was not enough to keep Kennedy from supporting Obama.
I am glad Ayers was denied. I only wish people like Chris Kennedy could show this kind of conscience when it comes to our country.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
