Sorry his candy land views were shared with the world is more like it.

Thought he was only amongst like minded liberal friends.

Evidently he has at least one Twitter acquaintance thats not a liberal D-bag.

I love how these retards claim they’re receiving death-threats after they say the stupidest thing in the world. Death-threats are a tool of the left, Bubba.

Of course not. He's a "professor," not a productive and successful person.

If AP refers to Breitbart as a far-right website, why doesn’t it refer to HuffPo as a far-left website?

“I wrote them to an audience of 28 followers on Twitter under the assumption they would be read by people I know.”

Not for the tweet, but he seems to be whining about everyone seeing it.

He wrote them to a core group for 28. That list of names would be a trove of deceit and lawlessness.

Because, when you're at the far-left yourself, the rest of the far-left appears to be centrist.

Looks like the guy needs new friends if they would think the post was okay——and he is also DAMNED stupid thinking that they would be the only ones reading it.

Victor Davis Hanson, aka VDH, whose articles regularly show up on FR, used to teach there.

"....after receiving death threats...."

Kinda sucks when you threaten someone's life and that happens.

so he is sorry he got caught but not that he thought it and said it. Should a Prof. of a college know the fact that when your post on FB or tweet more than your wife and kids and your commie cell is going to see it? LOL
