That's what one of the organizers bringing Ayers to Brandeis told me on the air yesterday. Listen for yourself.
She also says Brandeis women are "proud" of the legacy of activism represented by Angela Davis, Susan Saxe and Katherine Power (all three participated in murder); that honoring someone like Ayers who committed violent acts is no different than honoring Gen. David Petraeus "who killed people," too; and (it's on the audio, I swear) she's not sure whether Brandeis should invite Hitler to speak, if given the chance.
Yep, she failed the "Hitler" test.
Here's the best part: Her fellow Brandeis "activists" think she did great! Their blog posting concludes with this comment:
Finally, to answer Michael Graham’s question, no amount of bombs should revoke an individual’s freedom of speech.
The Unibomber, Timothy McVeigh, Osama bin Laden--hey, they've all got something to say and we should give them a forum at Brandeis to say it.
How much are these kids' parents paying Brandeis to help make them so (ahem) smart?
When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”… Administration officials say the tax argument is a linchpin of their legal case in defense of the health care overhaul and its individual mandate.
