Like Lovers* Kept From Each Other’s Arms

“I don’t know why I was turned back,” Ayers said in an interview this morning from Chicago. “I got off the plane like everyone else and I was asked to come over to the other side. The border guards reviewed some stuff and said I wasn’t going to be allowed into Canada. To me it seems quite bureaucratic and not at all interesting … If it were me I would have let me in. I couldn’t possibly be a threat to Canada.”

  1. Maybe he should ask Obama to pull some strings for him.
    Oh, wait, they’d have to know each other for that to happen.

  2. I am sure he is no threat, but Border refusals are often about past behaviour not future behaviour. Ask anyone with a criminal record who has “served their time”.
    Consequences of youthful exuberance, I guess.
    Wonder how Sid Ryan feels about the comments at the bottom, you know about academic freedom etc.
    OISE is a big waste of money anyway. From what I have seen in my kids curriculum the improvements over what learned are marginal and not really worth the money.

  3. Thanks for that good news Kate! Our tax dollars hard at work ( and well deserved ) at the border!
    Hive fives to those people!
    I love your link with the possible answer as to why would l’il ol Ayers want to come to Canada.
    Looks like he has time to make it the party in D.C.

  4. Not wanted in Canada? Now there’s a smackdown. Must have mistaken him for an Israeli professor, eh?

  5. Ever wondered what irony would look like if either Timonthy McVeigh or Terry Nichols were college professors 20 years from now, rather than convicted murderers?
    It would look like this…

  6. Drained,
    Thanks for the link. Wow unrepentant and mentions that there was a stated intention to murder. The nice thing about border decisions in that when you stop them AT the line you dont really have to answer to a court. Its only if thy get past it.
    What I find interesting is that there was a lawyer there to greet him as well. Maybe there was trouble expected.
    BO cant intervene on his behalf, remeber Barack said he is just a guy in his neighborhood, no links, no favours owed.
    OISE is still a waste of good office space and taxpayer money.

  7. Not wanted in Canada? Piffle! He could run for leadership of the NDP! He’d fit right in…

  8. Bill Ayers is a Marxist and a terrorist–those facts alone should serve to keep him far away from those who teach our kids.
    OISE has lost its relevance and has limited. if any credibility. It is a far left part of a far left institution steeped in Deweyeaque, left wing theory. A waste of taxpayers money to be sure. I ask myself what worthwhile purpose it serves and how someone like Bill Ayers could possibly add valueto the organization.

  9. You guys must thrive on sub-zero weather.
    From the top down, you’ve been producing smile-worthy news all week.

  10. “The border guards reviewed some stuff…”

    “Some stuff.” Isn’t it great that you can reduce any act of barbarism to “some stuff”.
    Hardly seems fair, sending Charles Manson to jail just because he did “some stuff”.

  11. oh well….best to look on the bright side billy ayers…
    … you can still get on the lecture circuit throughout the middle east…..i’m sure your fellow academics, your, ahem, ‘colleagues’ at the world renowned Gaza U. will attest to your impeccable bona fides…..

  12. Suppose that once you are a mass murdering terrorist, once you brag that you didn’t kill enough people, then you should expect to pay the price for being somewhat below pond scum in the evolutionary hierarchy.
    Excellent message to send to Obama before his visit.

  13. That is too funny (in a good way)
    The lawyer’s comments at the end were classic – “The entire four or five hours he was not allowed to have representation at all.”
    I didn’t realize it was advisable to travel with or hire a lawyer when entering thru customs. I’ll have to remember that the next time I go down to the US for a weekend.

  14. Ayers plagiarized his script from the dynamic duo of Garth & Dionky:
    I, I, I, Me, Me, Me, Me, I, Me, I, Me, …..
    This one Ayers stole from Marx, Groucho, that is:
    “If it were me I would have let me in.”
    Groucho said: “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” (brainyquote)

  15. Tom Olson – I totally agree with you about OISE, being far left of far, far left and a total and complete waste of money.
    It began as a type of refuge for American academics during the Vietnam war; they brought their ‘social justice’, socialist-communist ideology up and the entire building operates in that mode. It’s quite something to walk in and see all the posters about talks, programs, special events etc on the various victims and victimized around the world.

  16. Please let him in. The youths of Jane and Finch need some O inspiration. At least that was what I heard was good for Canada on the radio.

  17. Another moment of being proud to be Canadian! Now if we can start turning back all unrepentant terrorists and deporting those here, I shall have even more reason to celebrate.

  18. And let me guess, we’re going to let him back in. Can’t we just leave him in a little waiting room until the end of his days, man deservedly without a country?

  19. I notice that POS Ayers was heading over to a meeting at “OISE”.
    “OISE” the ONTARIO INSTITUTE FOR STUDIES IN EDUCATION
    I have a different name for “OISE”
    I call it THE ONTARIO INSTITUTE FOR SOCIALIST EMBRACEMENT

  20. In simplest terms, this man is not a Canadian citizen nor an immigrant with any residency status nor any kind of refugee claimant.
    There is thus no legal requirement to allow him into the country.
    Remember the US and Yusuf Islam (AKA Cat Stevens)?
    Same scenario.
    CBSA [in a friendly, polite Canadian voice]: “Kindly take a hike, Dr Ayers.”

  21. now I pray for the day the O is turned back at our border because of his association with the like of ayers

    speaking of border type issues…
    “As long as we’re having a long, drawn out taxpayer-funded inquiry, I wanna know…
    ‘How exactly does an unemployed, non-English speaking, middle-aged alcoholic
    with obvious mental health issues
    get to the front of the immigration queue?'”

  23. Excellent post Kate. Thanks for the links and the emotional ‘outburst’ of compassion for a love denied that the title of your post suggested. It is so sad that like feeeeeling hearts should forever yearn for the union torn asunder by unfeeeeeeling Canadian Border Guards who care only about the safety of their own country’s citizens and nothing for the painful yearnings of a terrorist longing to join together and be one with another or many others – maybe blow something up in Canada to warm things up – hype that Global Warming hoax a bit! Who knows …the possibilities are intoxicating and ‘hot’.
    With ‘hisisms’ rejection at the border all the hope and change dreams of the brutal, violent, intense, emotionally deranged weatherman terrorist were thwarted. Msm chimes in in a Dervish twirl fest: ” Now, whatever must he (Billy boy AIRS) think of us”? Worry, worry (msm)have we offended ‘someone..anyone…THEone? Answer: from the leader of the opposition if necessary but not necessarily the leader of the opposition..”the Ayres camp has not forgotten the ‘leaked memo’ in the Ohio preliminaries”. Hope springs external for the deranged terrorist for fulfillment in the land to the North (not necessarily Alaska but Alaska if necessary) it pipes up in his weathered vein and rushes to his weathered brain to PROCLAIM: ‘ One election away from access to those pipe lines…’
    My Thank-you note to Mr. Van Loan is on the way. Thanks for the suggestion pgs.

  24. “As long as we’re having a long, drawn out taxpayer-funded inquiry, I wanna know…
    ‘How exactly does an unemployed, non-English speaking, middle-aged alcoholic
    with obvious mental health issues get to the front of the immigration queue?'”
    Good question…especially since he also served five years in prison in Poland for armed robbery…

  25. Actually, Tom, there’s a great border that America could drop Ayres off at, the Western border. Yessiree, right out in the deepest part of their Western border, preferably someplace with sharks or jellyfish or something equally as unpleasant…

  26. Great work by these Border guys.
    But I can’t help but remember wanting to go to a talk by anti-terrorist activist Walid Shoebat in Ottawa, but he was denied entry because of his admitted terrorist past, even though he had letters from the US Homeland Security and had been allowed entry into Canada previously.
    http://urbaninfidel.blogspot.com/2006/12/walid-shoebat-denied-entry-into-canada.html
    Big difference: Walid Shoebat is repentant ex-terrorist but Bill Ayers is not.

    “bruce says… especially since he also served five years in prison
    in Poland for armed robbery”

    you got a source for that?
    *

  28. Bruce – did you ever visit Poland when it was a slave state – ruled by the USSR? Just curious.
    Are you attempting to say that Mr. D., the Polish man tasered at the Vancouver airport for thowing around a computer in frustration compares with the rejection of the terrorist from Chicago? Mr. D was irrational because he was (probably) suffering from stress and nicotine deprivation (a two packer a day cut off by vicious irrational anti tobacco laws for 19 hours) OR from an overdose of nicotine via nicotine drugs thus speeding up his heart and causing irrational behavior (look up nicotine overdose); if you were never in Poland during the USSR dictatorship you would not understand the lack of relevance that a bank robbery charge would have in that corrupt system. I did not know that Mr. D was an alcoholic – do you have a link? Billy boy Ayres is a hater of people, he is an elitist who cannot bear to see the people he considers sub human (that would be you and me, Bruce) to be free to come and go as we please and to say what we think. People like Bill Ayres wanted not only the Vietnamese people (who they considered less than dirt) shackled and cow towing, he wanted ALL people in that same boat so the filth like himself could use all people in the world to enjoy the good life and torture people of their choice at will for their twisted entertainment.
    Some people here are not old enough to remember the Vietnam war – if you don’t know the facts about Bill Ayres you should not defend him unless you truly do agree with him. Do not put our Police on the line for another unrelated (in every way) border incident – have you checked to ascertain that the police called to the Vancouver Airport were alerted by the Airport bureaucrats that Mr. D. was a chain smoker who was under stress and had not had a cigarette in 19 hours?
    Apples and Oranges, Bruce. The PC anti smoker people hating crowd are on the hook for the Airport incident…and futher it begs the question of the President Elects tobacco habit..how are the anti smoking crowd going to spin that smoke out of the spiderweb. The word on tobacco smokers is that we have no right to exist and should be shunned by ‘decent’ people. A whiff of lethal tobacco smoke can ruin any child’s life…will the One be allowed to ‘light up and inhale’ in Canada?

  29. “But how many People, Known to have links to Terrorism have made it into Canada?
    Posted by: bryanr at January 19, 2009 2:27 PM ”
    At last count(that StatsCan will release) 35,000! Yes.You read that right. THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND “iimigrants that were released on their recgonizance,and have since disappeared into Morontreal,TerroTO,and Leftie Van.That was 5 years ago.God only knows how many now.

  30. *
    “jema 54 asks… I did not know that Mr. D was an alcoholic – do you have a link?”
    it was part of his post-mortem
    “Autopsy results outlined for the first time Friday suggest various factors could
    have led to the heart attack that killed the 40-year-old Polish immigrant, including
    heart disease associated with chronic alcohol abuse, an agitated state of
    delirium and an inability to breathe while being restrained.”

    *

  31. “Autopsy results outlined for the first time Friday suggest various factors could
    have led to the heart attack”

    Let’s not forget that “various factors” also include electric shocks and 200+ lb cops jumping on his chest and kneeling on his neck.
    Normally I will give the police a lot of latitude when dealing with suspects, but this case is an exception. His actions did not merit the response he received, period! Allegations of alcoholism and a bum ticker or nicotine deprivation have bugger all to do with it.

  32. thanks neo – here is the probable explaination:
    Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine (nicorette), or if anyone has accidentally swallowed it.
    Overdose symptoms may include nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; stomach pain; cold sweat; headache; dizziness; problems with hearing or vision; confusion; uneven heartbeats; chest pain; seizures; and death. From the drug website advertising nic drugs!
    Edward Teach – the smoke nazis know no bounds in their quest to STAMP OUT tobacco smokers. I doubt very much that the police called to the scene were informed about Mr. D’s stress or his possible overdose on nic drugs.

    “200+ lb cops jumping on his chest and kneeling on his neck”
    yup, you fuzzy-bunny dumbstick… that’s exactly what happened.
    better climb on that big silver bird and escape to some
    communist paradise before the agents of the racist
    police state
    come for you too.
    say hi to fidel for me.

  34. One of the problems that most of *YOU* reading this story are just too stupid to understand is,that yes,*TODAY* filthy terrorists like Bill Ayers are being turned back at the border,that is true.
    But unfortunately the evil leftists and their anti-western fellow travellers are marching through ALL of our societal institutions,OISE being a good example,and one day,whether you want to believe it or not,if we don’t stop them,we are going to have to ask these assh*les for permission to LIVE!!!
    It isn’t enough to turn back Bill Ayers at the border,we need to go after the SCUM that invited him to come here!

  35. Thanks for your post, jema. I sometimes forget how great it is that i quit smoking about fifteen years ago and your pathetic obsession with that habit reminds me of just how lucky I am. Now, light up, relax and wipe the yellow scum from your monitor.

  36. So how do we get from B. Ayers sent back to his sweet home Chicago (an act of sound judgement)and a would be polish immigrant who freeked out and got tazered (an unfortunate event)?
    The point is that a group who profess to be about developing better teachers arranged the opportunity for the bastard Ayers to help them be better activists.
    Reason enough to focus on the REAL problem.
    Some people really need to learn to keep their eye on the ball.

  37. Yessir, no shortage of lefty euphemisms in that advert from the “Centre for Urban Schooling”
    “Equity” and “social justice” in education. Translation: If you are too indifferent or disorganized to learn, if you are too drug-addled or gang-affiliated to pay attention to your schooling, we will pass you anyway. And we will work our butts off at political activism to get taxpayers to subsidize your molly-coddling and prevent you from arriving at your well-deserved fate.
    Bill Ayers has been “social justice activist” since the 1960s when he became “known for his anti-war efforts”.. Ha ha, that’s a good one, OISE!
    “…education reform, curriculum, and instruction, with a lens of social justice and equity..” Yep, there’s that “social justice” meme again.
    “Series supported by a generous donation from the Ruth and Alexander Dworkin Tolerance Fund”. I wonder what this is and what other activities are supported by the “tolerance fund”? And who is the fund helping us to “tolerate”?
