His comment about soldiers turning their guns on superiors was meant "in the most metaphoric sense," he explained.
From Wikipedia...."In language, a metaphor is a rhetorical trope defined as a direct comparison between two seemingly unrelated subjects. In a metaphor, a first object is described as being a second object. Through this description it is inferred that the first object has some of the qualities of the second. In this way, the first object can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second object can be used to fill in the description of the first. This is exploited in literature and especially in poetry, where with few words, emotions and associations from one context can powerfully be associated with another, different subject. "
Where's the "metaphor" in "Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors." Now we know he's a liar too. Hope he gets fired.
Daly sounds like the typical college English professor. No one takes those people seriously, do they?
Yeah, it's always a "metaphor" when they get caught calling for someone's death. Anything less and it's just "understandable frustration", as one of my liberal friends told me when I expressed some annoyance at a professor calling a group of women "Republic*nts". "I'm sure he was just frustrated..."
(Also, shouldn't an English professor realize that there aren't degrees of metaphorical speech? Either it's a metaphor or it's not.)
THis bastard marxist/communist should not only be fired...he should be tarred and feathered and then drug out of town on the end of a rope or chain.
Yes, only LEFT WING views are allowed to be freely spoken on campus. Students should not be allowed to know there is a different view.
Real intellectual freedom will exist when students realize that their professors are leftists failures.
I doubt that it does but if it does it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Perhaps the stress will get to him.
BWHAHAHA! Taste your own medicine, liberal idiot!
He's an english instructor right?
Let's pass out the short story "The Lottery" and make everyone read it. Then this "professor" can win the lottery.
Daly should stick to golf...he gets into enough trouble out there on the links.
Cry me a river you commie c**ks***er placemarker.
A little human shield work in Iraq might be helpful as well...
Like a college is going to get rid of a Radical Communist. He'll probably get promoted to dean.

Furor Over an E-Mail [Daly to be fired?]
Ms. Beach and other REAL Americans have turned thier guns on you, Mr. Daly.( Speaking in a "metaphoric sense" of course)
Then let him volunteer as a human shield for his next "hero" suicide bomber. Maybe his being there absorbing some of the shrapnel will save some lives.
Additionally, Mr. Daly's message was sent as a one-to-one message, via e-mail, to one person, and not to the college community.
Does anyone know if he used the schools email system as opposed to his personal email?
First the "professor" says that he has freedom of speach, then you look at his email and realize that his real goal is not to prevent "these types of groups from showing their face on campus" (his respect of freedom of speach is just stellar here!) and then you look at his type of speach and realize it's what the campus police usually would refer to as "hate speach". As usual liberals want to muzzle everybody with "sensitivity" and speach codes, but they should never apply to them because they enjoy "academic freedom". Despicable!
Sounds like he's being exposed until he won't be able to show his face on campus.
Exactly what he threatened to do to the student.
Is this what they mean by Instant Karma?
