Wow.. what to say about this man. I'm almost inclined to go into defense mode and tear his rhetoric into shreds. I believe the majority of Americans are disgusted by this man. However, we do have that right to voice whatever we feel we would be necessary.
Yet, with that said, I feel the MSM needs to be a little more responsible with their reporting. Why give this guy 15 minutes of fame? Why even aknowledge his views as newsworthy? What I see is an instigator (the MSM) throwing this out to the American people knowing it will cause controversy. As it becomes heated and goes to blows the MSM sits back and watches.
This man is scum and 85% of Americans (possibly more) feel the same. Why give him the satisfaction of knowing he has got under our skin? This is the reason why Jesse and Al get all the attention as well. We've been played folks. By aknowledging them, we have empowered them. It's time to let these sycophant's voices fall on deaf ears. Yes, if you ignore them they WILL go away. These people are extortionists playing on the hearts of those who are looking for a leader.... mainly because they've been brought up in a society that condones violence and anarchy and rejects the system.

Who knows.. maybe I'm alone on this?

I don't believe this. First, he was already empowered in the sense that he was, before he was exposed, free to spread his propaganda virtually without challenge. Now he's being challenged. It's even possible that some of his current and former students are giving his views a second thought.

Second, exposing his views, and the circumstances surrounding his employment, brings to light the suspect hiring practices of CU and other universities. Basically, the guy was hired because he claimed to be part Indian, not because he's a scholar of any quality. I imagine that even many conservatives weren't aware of the extent of the academic rot in our universities. It's a useful thing to know.

And finally, I don't believe one should ever ignore evil. Leaving this guy in place sends a bad message, gives his writing a certain academic validity, and allows him to continue to propagandize young minds. Beyond that, why not shine a light on evil, and keep shining a light on it, until you can get rid of it?
