Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at. [emphasis mine]
This quote is attributed to the infamous Bill Ayers, founder of the radical terrorist group, the Weather Underground. He later went on to say:
Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon. The sky was blue. The birds were singing and the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them. [emphasis mine]
With quotes like these, it isn't hard to see what Ayers' perspective is and how little value he places on human life -- or at least the lives of those with whom this self-described terrorist disagrees.
Purdue University invited Ayers to speak on education, race, gender, and class this fall, using one of the left's favorite rallying cries -- "academic freedom" -- to justify bringing a terrorist as a distinguished speaker.
This did not sit well with members of the Conservative Coalition for American Values or Young Americans for Liberty -- so they took it to the streets!
