This is getting hilarious…

So… apparently everyone feels the need to weigh in on the Ayers event next week. I just found this article, apparently written by Adolf Hitler (correct me if I’m wrong, but he’s dead, right? Bill Graham suggested we try to line him up for next semester though).

Anyway, here’s the link: http://www.rightsidenews.com/200904234491/culture-wars/former-terrorist-bill-ayers-to-speak-at-brandeis-college.html

And here are some of my favorite excerpts:

What Ayers has to do with ‘freedom’ in any form is a mystery for anthropologists of the future to figure out, as Ayers and his wife are quite open about their Communist leanings.

[…]

By the way: does it seem like Ayers is trying to get out of house a lot these days?

But if you were married to the despicable shrew Bernadine Dohrn, you’d be heading out on weekly road trips too.

The article also includes a series of telephone numbers for various Brandeis administrators. Hitler urges his readers to “politely express” their views on the Ayers lecture to Jehuda and Co.

That’s all for now, goodnight guys!

SnarkBlog: UJ 4/22/09 Edition

So, as promised, here is your (not-so) friendly neighborhood snarkblog. Unfortunately, Carrie can’t be here right now, so its just me for the time-being. She might come later, and Mike Laderman and Amanda Hoffman might join in as well.

UPDATE: So, since the software Sahar gave me isn’t working, all snark will be presented to you via comments

UPDATE 2: I would just like to point out again that this is the SNARKblog. For legitimate liveblogging of this trial, see Emily’s coverage, which should be up shortly.
