Obama’s buddy, Bill Ayers just got dissed by that rarest of creatures—A Kennedy with a real job in the private sector.  Comrade Ayers, after an undistinguished career of indoctrinating students to hate everything they should love, has retired (3 cheers). A mean spirited man whose publications amount to little more than a polemic against morality and reason has held a professorship at a publicly funded university for some twenty years. Where has the Board of Trustees, chaired by Mr. Kennedy, been all this time? Now that he is leaving, they deny him the honorific “emeritus”. Good for them. Not a single yes vote.

“I intend to vote against conferring the honorific title of our university to a man whose body of work includes a book dedicated in part to the man who murdered my father, Robert F. Kennedy. There is nothing more antithetical to the hopes for a university that is lively and yet civil, or to the hopes of our founding fathers for their great experiment of a self-governing people, than to permanently seal off debate with one’s opponents by killing them.”

Luckily there are no other professors at publicly funded institutions who would cheer at the destruction of all things American, or at the murder of even a liberal politician.
