On the Web site of an unofficial alumni organization at the University of California, Los Angeles, there are profiles "exposing" the university's "most radical professors" who "actively proselytize their extreme views in the classroom." These professors are described as "brainless" and are berated for never having left the "fantasy world of college." [snip] There are other disturbing examples today and throughout history. In Colorado and Indiana, as a result of widely publicized student allegations of left-wing bias in the classroom, several professors have received hate mail and at least one received a death threat. The number of organizations across America...

Last week, John Walker Lindh  petitioned the president to commute his 20-year sentence for fighting with the Taliban, imposed in 2002.  It’s a shame that this pampered child of Marin County is sitting in a cell for something as trivial as treason. Under a plea bargain, Walker Lindh (AKA: Abdul Hamid, AKA: Sulayman Al-Lindh) pleaded guilty to supplying services to the Taliban regime and carrying explosives for  Afghanistan’s former rulers.Which is like to saying that Benedict Arnold supplied services to George III. Johnny Jihad trained in an al-Qaeda camp – where he learned to fire an AK-47 and rubbed elbows...

According to National Review Online, "Last Wednesday, Columbia University assistant professor Nicholas DeGenova told the audience at a faculty-led antiwar teach-in that he wished 'for a million Mogadishus' to visit U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq." According to the Columbia University biography of DeGenova, his teaching focuses on "transnational urban conjunctural spaces that link the U.S. and Latin America as a standpoint of critique from which to interrogate U.S. nationalism, political economy, racialized citizenship, and immigration law." DeGenova has appeared at several open-borders conferences as a panelist and his writing has been highly critical of immigration enforcement. He is also scheduled...

<p>I am not sure you remember me, but we met back in 1988 after the FBI conducted a "sweep" on returned Tecnica volunteers, claiming that we were part of an espionage network running high technology out of Nicaragua through Cuba into the USSR. As you will probably recall, things died down after protests were heard from mainstream publications including the NY Times. They asked quite sensibly why somebody repairing a tractor in Nicaragua should be the subject of an espionage investigation.</p>

Assistant Professor Nicholas De Genova, a glittering diamond in the intellectual crown that is Columbia University in the City Of New York is too scared to show up to teach his classes. He's received threats of violence, reports the New York Sun, and so have other professors who participated in the Saddam pep rally held last Wednesday in Low Memorial Library on the Columbia campus. I'm glad De Genova is scared. He probably didn't realize that declaring war on America isn't without risk. From all the evidence, besides being vicious, De Genova is enormously stupid. It's a wonder that he...

Not reported on FOX News' web site but Alan just announced that he and Sean will be interviewing a student in Nick De Genova's class later in the hour. Not sure what time exactly, but before 9:50 p.m. EST. Just posting this for anyone who's been following this news and who wants to tune in.

<p>Let's have "a million Mogadishus," said Nicholas De Genova, and while this voiced wish for American deaths in Iraq is a dreadful, blood-chilling thing, the professor has done the country a favor. He has made it clear that not all those Americans protesting the U.S. invasion are America-loving patriots. At least one is not.</p>

Published on March 31, 2003 Letters to the Editor: Professor Qualifies Quotation in Article and Addresses Criticism To the Editor: Spectator, now for the second time in less than a year, has succeeded to quote me in a remarkably decontextualized and inflammatory manner. In Margaret Hunt Gram's report on the faculty teach-in against the war in Iraq (March 27, 2003), I am quoted as wishing for a million Mogadishus but with no indication whatsoever of the perspective that framed that remark. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that your Staff Editorial in the same issue, denouncing the teach-in for "dogmatism," situates...

"U.S. flags are the emblem of the invading war machine in Iraq today. They are the emblem of the occupying power. The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military." Those words were spoken last week by Nicholas De Genova, a professor of anthropology and Latin American studies at Columbia University. De Genova went on, in words that will long shame his university, to call on U.S. soldiers to "frag" (i.e., murder) their officers and to wish "for a million Mogadishus," referring to the 1993 ambush in Somalia that left 18 U.S. soldiers dead...

R epresentative J. D. Hayworth, Republican from Arizona, had never heard of Columbia University assistant professor Nicholas DeGenova before last Friday. But when Hayworth read DeGenova's comments at an antiwar "teach-in" held inside Columbia's Low Library last week, the House Ways and Means Committee member knew he had to speak out. The result is a letter to Columbia University President Lee Bollinger — now making its way through the House of Representatives — that calls for DeGenova to be dismissed. "I heard the press accounts and I think I reacted as most Americans did — with outrage and disbelief,"...

We have a frontrunner for next year's Campus Outrage Awards, also known as "Pollys," given each spring by the Collegiate Network in recognition of "political correctness, curricular decay, [and] violations of academic freedom and free speech." His name is Nicholas DeGenova, and last week this Columbia University professor wished "a million Mogadishus" upon U.S. troops in Iraq. That translates into 18 million dead American soldiers, most of them probably the same age as DeGenova's undergraduate students. The vile DeGenova will have to wait until next April Fools Day to pick up his Polly award. This year, however, he can congratulate...

Moment of Truth (For the Anti-American Left)By David HorowitzFrontPageMagazine.com | March 31, 2003 Every movement has its moment of truth. At an "anti-war" teach-in at Columbia last week, Anthropology professor Nicholas De Genova told 3,000 students and faculty, "Peace is not patriotic. Peace is subversive, because peace anticipates a very different world than the one in which we live--a world where the U.S. would have no place."De Genova continued: "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military. I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus."1 This was a reference to the ambush...

"The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military." stated University of Columbia professor Nicholas De Genova.

Legitimate, important, valid or even extreme and hyperbolic arguments before a war are one thing.

<p>March 29, 2003 -- American soldiers should suffer "a million Mogadishus" in Iraq, a Columbia University professor told thousands of students and faculty members at an anti-war forum. Nicholas De Genova said those inflammatory words - a reference to the Somali city where 18 U.S. soldiers were killed in the 1993 incident that inspired the movie Black Hawk Down - at an "anti-war teach-in" Wednesday at the school's Low Library.</p>

Nicholas DeGenova is an assistant professor of Anthropology at Columbia Universityin New York City. "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military," Nicholas DeGenova, an assistant professor of anthropology and Latino studies at Columbia University, told the audience at Low Library Wednesday night. "I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus." Do you have an opinion about DeGenova's remark that you would care to share with him? Unless it's been changed in the last 24 hours, his email address at Columbia is: Nicholas Paul DeGenova

Angry callers flooded phone lines at Columbia University Friday, denouncing a professor who called for an Iraqi victory over U.S. troops and said he would like to see "a million Mogadishus." The Mogadishu reference recalled the Somali city where 18 U.S. soldiers were killed 10 years ago. University president Lee C. Bollinger called Newsday to say he was stunned by the comments made by Assistant Professor Nicholas De Genova, one of more than two dozen speakers at a "teach-in" Wednesday night.
