Meanwhile, over in San Francisco, Sherlock Holmes is alive and well and posting from The Chronicle’s SFGate blog and he thinks he might have cracked the case – it’s those pesky ignorant rednecks at southern universities who just hate anything intellectual….they could have provoked her with their country music and confederate flags…

Argh! A spoiled rich New Englander from Hah-vahd goes down to be a college professor in Alabama, can’t cut i, and lives down to her stereotype, and it’s the LOCAL PEOPLE’S faul that she shoots up a room full of faculty members?!?!

P.S. Born and raised in CT, and the negative stereotypes are too true of all too many of us.

“Professor Charged in Alabama Shooting May Have Been Provoked By Rednecks”

Why of course she was...it wasn’t her fault; she’s a woman from Boston/Harvard...she was out of her element trying to educate those ignorant Southerners and, well, they just wouldn’t stand for it...and the faculty tenure committee, well they were just prejudiced against intellect...what else was she to do???

Guess her brother who she shot and killed in Massachusetts was one of those pesky ignorant rednecks too!

>>But the reference may be a clue to another problem: Dr. Bishop may have experienced a kind of anti-intellectual prejudice from the University of Alabama-Huntsville culture that could have just driven Bishop batty. A “You think you’re better than us because you’re from Harvard” attitude that may very well have blocked her from fair consideration by her peers.

Oh my, that’s it! How could conservatives have missed that. Damn rednecks, their pick-up trucks and country music. Boy, they should have listened to his Hah-vard prof lecture them with wealth redistribution, hatred for the country and military, high taxes as the solution for the economy and class warfare.

Interesting...so what is her reason for shooting her brother long before she moved to the south?

Don't forget to take the transmission out of the tub first.

You shore gut a purdy mouf. *breathing through mouth* /s

I guess I better send out memos to all of the ‘ivy league educated’ staff members at my h’band’s college. We wouldn’t want them ‘going postal’ ‘cause they hate us rednecks ‘n’ stuff.

Read her teaching evaluations at RateMyProfessor. Some love her, but she seems to be unorganized and gives zany lectures.

Amy Bishop is like all liberal elitists. When she does not get her way she throws a tantrum.

She has killed before and got away with it. How is it that the liberals can over look the accidental shooting where she accidentally fires 3 rounds from a pump shot gun. Yet they will rake someone over the coals for shooting an intruder.

I am so glad I don’t live in NE.

This is no joke. I was flying home from from a business trip in S.F. last year and talking to the native S.F.er woman sitting next to me. I was telling her how my job takes me all across the country and how much I love seeing all of the different areas. She asked where I'd been recently and I told her my last trip had me driving all through rural IL and AL. She said, "Oh my! Weren't you afraid?" I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I said, lady I met some of the nicest people anywhere in the country in those places.

I didn't bother to share with her my opinion of most of the people I met in S.F. Not to mention the freak show their downtown streets are, literally!

Obviously, she was clinging to her guns, her lack of religion, and her antipathy toward people who are different from herself.

Such ratings (certainly not RateMyProf), especially those universities use to evaluate excellence in teaching are neither valid or reliable...but most, if not all, universities use them...

Yeah. I lived in the UK for a number of years and some of them through the race riots were still going on after I told them where I was from. AND these were ‘academics’. I kid you not.

Or, maybe it didn't, and that was it.

He was busy oppressing her with all his acclaimed violinin.

I suppose the southerners were possibly oppressing her with their highfalutin fiddlin. It could have brought back horrible memories.

Actually, he was watching too many episodes of "Dukes of Hazzard" and "The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo" and picked up the attitude.

Well, as we say down here, the difference between a Yankee and a d*****Yankee is that the later won’t go home.

If she didn’t like the culture, she could do what I did when I found myself in uncomfortable environs. I went where I felt comfortable.

And in any event, besides it not being an excuese for murder, why is it that liberals can say the most bigoted things with impunity, and seemingly no realization that they are?
