An associate sociology professor at Penn State University faces disorderly conduct charges....

.... 52-year-old Karen Halnon started a rant about U.S-Venezuela relations about half way through a Saturday flight from Nicaragua to Miami.

There should be a mechanism for stripping morons like this of their citizenship and exiling them to places like Venezuela or Syria.

She is a parasite. She should have stayed in a tropical country; they have plenty of parasites.

I don’t think even Penn State will give her tenure. This was just embarrassing....

Looks like she already has it. Six years as assistant and then promoted to associate.

"leftist...suspicion"

I would guess that 99% of all current sociology profs. are pronounced leftists. Every one of my soc. profs was a lefty...most of them quite loony.

To my experience, an ‘associate professor’ isn’t a tenured position. That isn’t a hard position to get. But I could be wrong.

My guess is Ms. Halnon is a leftist.

"My great hero, Hugo Chavez..."

Yeah, I think she's a leftist.

The guy sitting next to her should have just clocked her and said she hit her head on the tray.

“Sociology Professor” is one of N Oxymorons, where N is a very large number.
