David Horowitz says you should know about Bernardine Dohrn and William Ayers
Cross-posted on Marathon Pundit.
Kathryn Lopez of National Review Online interviews author David Horowitz in his FrontPage Magazine today. The subject of course is Horowitz' latest book, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America.
Do you think Ward "Little Eichmanns" Churchill is an academic anomaly? Horowitz doesn't, he makes the claim that there are "thousands of Ward Churchill's" on American college campuses.
Two of them are within a short drive from my home: Bernardine Dohrn, a law professor at Northwestern University and her husband, University of Illinois Chicago professor William Ayers.
From the FrontPage Magazine article:
Lopez: Who should be a household name but isn't?
Horowitz: Professors Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, leaders of the WeatherUnderground; convicted torturer and inventor of Kwanzaa, Professor Malauna Karenga; and oh so many others.
Information I have on Karenga is inconsistent. He's listed as either a former of current professor at California State University, Long Beach. It hasn't been updated in five years, but this page from the college's web site lists him as the head of the Black Studies Department.

Wow, listing stuff like this is really odious.
I can't imaging why any liberal would want to be associated with the site. It's really a Hannity-Colmes situation.
"the site" being Illinoize.
I don't you can get more Chicago than the Ayers Family.
They have a lot of clout...
...and Bill and Bernardine bring back memories of the 1969 SDS convention at the Coliseum.
It's history that shouldn't be forgotten and the participants shouldn't be allowed to walk away from it, or try and rewrite it.
He invented Kwanzaa? THAT RADICAL! HANG HIM.
Hey anonymous. Real guts there with you're anonymous comments.
Anon., why protect Dohrn and Ayers? Are you saying the claims against them are false? (You can't.)
These two have devoted their lives to waging a "soft", non-violent Weatherman campaign ever since their discharge back into society. It could have been worse, with Dohrn having applied for a law license, but the Illinois Bar and the Illinois Supreme Court had enough backbone to point to her felony conviction as ground enough to deny her a law license. Despite that, she is comfortably ensconced as a law professor at Northwestern, a fact that has consistently drawn the ire of Alums and the Wall Street Journal.
The complaints against them are neither "crazy" nor "fringe".
So why do you defend them?
Judging from Horowitz's record for accuracy, it is almost certain that his profile of ANYONE included "The Professors" contains significant misrepresentation, sloppy scholarship, or outright fabrication. The instances cited here may be the exceptions, but they would certainly be the first.
