Yesterday, McHenry County Blog told of a possible demonstration against Elgin Kiwanis’ invitation of domestic terrorist Bill Ayers to speak at lunch.

Here is a report from the scene:

“There were around a dozen of us at the (Bill) Ayers event.

“Quite a few reporters came and asked questions and a couple of what looked like some ‘students’ of Ayers were taking pictures.

“I guess they said it was justified for Ayers to be a cop killer because cops had killed some Black Panther in his bed….who expects liberals to make sense!

“Ayers arrived at the event very early, so we didn’t see him.

“Guess he didn’t have the guts to drive by us.

“Hopefully we made some people driving by more aware.”

The Daily Herald’s story is here.

He said he was “sorry.”

First time I’ve heard that.

Among the comments was:

“Note to Kiwanis: Order fewer peanuts this year.”

The photo is from a video found on Midwest Conservatives.

Some of the same people who participated in the TEA Parties may show up outside the Elgin Kiwanis Club meeting noon Tuesday at the Highlands Golf Course, described as “a Public Golf Course Supported by Elgin Taxpayers,” to peacefully protest the appearance of “Unrepentant Domestic Terrorist Bill Ayers.”

I wonder whether the program chairman is the same guy bold enough to invited me to speak to the club when I was running in 2002 for Illinois governor on the Libertarian Party ticket against Rod Blagojevich and Jim Ryan.

Top finance guys for both of those power party opponents are facing Federal felony time, you may remember.

In any event, just in case you might want to join in the demonstration, here’s the address, which is next to Elgin Community College:

I’d guess it is off Randall Road, just south of U.S. by-pass 20.
