The unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers had a speaking engagement at Florida State University recently where some students took umbrage with his presence.

While reports confirm the protests were peaceful, campus police arrived on the scene and forced the protesters into an area designated as a “free speech zone.”

One attendee remarked, “They’re saying that over here is a free speech zone, but I was raised that America is a free speech zone.”

Ayers is the well known founder of the domestic terrorist organization The Weather Underground and is also known for helping to launch the political career of our current president elect at a gathering in his Chicago living room, a report that Obama denies in spite of Ayers’ own admission of the fact.

Michelle Malkin has a post on her blog today that tells a very different story of how Berkeley protesters were handled when she and another conservative speaker were invited to speak.

Best part of the story? Ayers, considered by many to be an enemy of the state, was paid $5,000 for his appearance. Since FSU is a state school, that means the taxpayers footed the bill.

Beautiful.
