I think college professors are "essentially" the Stalinist version of the common idiot.

[escapefromboston]

That is competely untrue and if you say that again I am going to drop a wall on you.

[DoraC]

Gosh, I haven't seen Bush or other Republicans (except that loony Tom Coburn) advocating killing people for reasons no good.
I think this college professor should understand that Islam is inherently violent, while Christianity is far more peaceful. A comparison between Bush and the Taliban is just insane.

[BibChr]

Lauritzen said that it was not his intention to insult anyone.

No no, of course not! How could any Christian Talibanner think that?

College academia has done a lot to expose itself as a fraud in the last 4 years. No wonder enrollment is going down.

“We need to tell our students that Bush is a liar and that many in the Republican party are essentially the Christian version of the Taliban"

Louder please, "professor."

Something keeps muffling the sound of your voice.

When I saw the thread title, I just knew it was about a professor at a "Catholic" university.

[camle]

and this guy is an ETHICS professor?

[Polybius]

Republican party are essentially the Christian version of the Taliban

He's right. Let's report him to our head Mullah and have his head lopped off.

[SoDak]

He's apologetic for the anger, and apparently for his choice of words, but he's remarkably unapologetic for conspiring to spread disinformation to students, to abusing his position as a teacher and mentor, throwing out all pretense of intellectual honesty, and for betraying the trust of students. He should no longer be teaching.

This is a "YHGTOBSM" moment...It's a military thang...

[Knitting A Conundrum]

He should be glad he wasn't my student in English comp...a freshman would have had to rewrite that until he understood the difference between: "these people do things I don't like, and these are the reasons why" and "these other people do things that are totally evil by even my standards and these are what they do," and "Compare and contrast these two groups that have very little in common."

He must have dropped too much happy juice and now has scrambled synapses.

[RightWhale]

The prof is a poopyhead.

[Mears]

Is anyone else getting as sick of these "apologies' as I am?

They get their point across,get the publicity,apologize,and all is well.

“Bush won Ohio and much of the rest of the country because of Guns, Gays, and God,” Lauritzen wrote.He added, “I say No Guns, No Gay Bashing, Not Your God.”

I say....STFU!!!

[Area51]

Joe Stalin had a way with dealing with Educators. Sometimes I think he was right. This is one of those times.

Here's his photo and current courses.

Catch the irony of this guy teaching a course about "Moral Decision Making"...

[Heartlander]

The controversial e-mail was written by Paul Lauritzen, director of the Applied Ethics Program and professor of Religious Studies…

Hmmm -- OK… and he states:

“We need to tell our students that Bush is a liar and that many in the Republican party are essentially the Christian version of the Taliban,”
“Bush won Ohio and much of the rest of the country because of Guns, Gays, and God,”
“I say No Guns, No Gay Bashing, Not Your God.”
“We have to lead by example. I ask you to join me in transforming the culture at JCU.”

“We need to tell our students that Bush is a liar and that many in the Republican party are essentially the Christian version of the Taliban,” he wrote.

Keep talking Professor .. you're doing a bang up job not only bringing down the Dem Party ... but you're also gonna bring down the enrollment of the college you work for

[clintonh8r]

....Lauritzen wrote that he was "depreesed beyond belief"....

Here's some help, Herr Professor:

mouth...muzzle

toe...trigger.
