Well, bless his heart.

University of Kansas needs to “delete” him from their employee roles.

[PGR88]

“journalism” professors and students have dropped to the level of “basket weaving” majors. They are a joke.

Cut and run Guth -— cowardly lardass hateful commie idiot.

[Boogieman]

“Guth, who told the AP on Thursday that his tweet “got a conversation going — that was exactly what I wanted to do,””

Yeah, a conversation about what an ******* you are.

Twitter's "memory hole" ala 1984

My kids, like those of a lot of NRA members, I suspect, have had firearms safety and marksmanship training, and might be a bit harder to kill than this bedwetter thinks. Especially when they are not in gun-free zones.

As to ... the journalism prof's claim that he "wasn't advocating violence": Sure, David. It only reads that way.

Bingo.

[Chode]

paid leave no doubt...

““I have had conversations with the university and have agreed to this action in light of the abusive email threats I and others have received. It is in it the best interests and peace of mind of our students that I remove myself from the situation and let cooler heads prevail. It is unfortunate that my comments have been deliberately distorted. I know what I meant. Unfortunately, this is a topic that generates more heat than light.”

Sure professor, blame everyone else for misinterpreting your extensive wisdom.

[ConservativeStatement]

What a queer statement to make.

[mosesdapoet]

Probably depemding upon his age was a student spitting into a home bound US Viet Nam soldier face and leading the fight to defund South Viet Nam. Or worse, tenured.

Was this communist a recipient of any grant money ? And who sponsored it ?

[morphing libertarian]

OMG journalism prof, perfect. I rest my case.

I liked Elaine's descriptive rant on Kramer: "You stupid hipster doofus!"

[SunkenCiv]

Or, as Ron Paul said about the death a SEAL, live by the sword, die by the sword. Thanks servo1969.

Which statement is queer?

[rktman]

No doubt he won’t be losing any money. He’ll be like a lot of obie fans. Sittin’ on his fat ass collecting his check. Man have I screwed up.

[ConservativeStatement]

The statement made by the journalism professor.

[centurion316]

He probably deleted his account himself. but,

"sending me violent threats."

That criteria certainly seems to apply in this case. Oh, I forgot. He didn't mean it.

American citizens' tax dollars should never be used to support hatred.
