Does she not think she is inviting reciprocal sentiments? Or does she believe she is beyond reproach?

Anyone who has been a conservative Republican their whole life like me knows there is nothing new here. As a Poli Sci major in college during the 1980s myself, I got a double dose this in college. It is no secret in this country that academia, not mention the teachers unions, the media, and the entertainment community (Hollyweird) hate and detest all things Republican and especially all things conservative.

This will force—probably against the will of Professor Douglas—what these days is generally opposed by college professors but ironically what is the conceptual foundation of universities: to discuss ideas in an open forum.

In other words, over the years to come Douglas will have an ongoing and repeated opportunity to observe and review her folly.

Maybe she was educated under Common Core?

Perhaps we need her home address and phone number to explain to her why it is offensive to be a hater.

Sets the stage for Douglas to be ridiculed into oblivion.

Her vicious statements should not be seen as commenting on 3 politicians since she emphasizes they are REPUBLICANS. This is a slur and expression of extreme prejudice against all Republicans.

She needs to be censured and later fired if no apology is forthcoming.

Identifying as a Conservative, I hate them too.

There are two factions in DC of the same party. No longer do we have a two party system. Stringing Boehner up by the Buster Browns will be a good first step to rectifying that.

“As a Poli Sci major in college during the 1980s myself...”

I too, was a Poli Sci major at the University of Minnesota back in the mid 1980’s.

The best way to describe the Pol Sci dept (at that time) would be to have said it was left of center.

But with a few glaring examples, I felt that most of the professors were pretty even-handed in their teaching.

The current Poli Sci dept is extraordinarily left of center, almost socialistic in their teaching. It’s an incredible shame too. The current crop of professor would tell you otherwise - but they are doing a dis-service to academia and to the students by which the manner they teach their classes.

She is now making noises about the thing being retitled from "Why We Can't Get Along". Within the text, however, she is very specific about hating people and why it's OK. And why the two sides aren't going to get together - no prizes for whose fault she claims it is - and how she misses a Republican she used to work for who was socially progressive. It reminded me of the oft-heard (on FR) lament that Dems like Hubert Humphrey aren't in charge of the party anymore, but I don't recall that ever being used as an excuse to hate anybody.

The woman is an over-emotional political partisan with a crashing ignorance of her opponents and an unswerving faith that her ridiculous stereotypes are fact. This piece wouldn't be considered graduate-level work if it came from a student. Hell, it wouldn't even be considered collegiate-level.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to have the severely mentally challenged running our so called colleges and universities. Princess Suzy needs to remember, without Republicans,who the hell would pay the taxes to run the government? She’d be out of a job.

I went to the Zoo of M in the late 80s. One of my classes was taught by none other than August Nimtz, twice candidate of the Socialist Workers' party of Minnesota for governor. Talk about having to bite back hard.

“One of my classes was taught by none other than August Nimtz...”

I never had him but was aware of him. I deliberately avoided taking any of his classes.

I know several other students who did and his classes were best described as “indoctrination sessions”.

If they were three democrats and the piece swapped “republicans” for “democrats” I doubt they’d consider it a free-speech issue and not do a single thing to her.

It was bad enough being engineering in the ‘80s. OK, well, it stretched into the ‘90s.

I could tell you about our College Republicans. Boy, how pathetic it was on a big U.
