Good riddance! Now if they would only do the same with the hate whitey black studies professors, the hate men womyn's studies professors and the hate Bush and capitalism professors of all subjects, it'll be a good start!
Of course, there wouldn't be many left!
100 million dead innocent people does not demonstrate intent?
You certainly seem to need one...
If you can find where I said nazism was ok
Who're you trying to kid? Peddle that scurrying, backwash nonsense to someone else...your posts speak for themselves. As do mine.
We all must wear our own shoes in this life; unfortunately, we often find that they fit...as the case seems to be here, in some sense and to some degree.
Your abject whining seems to rise to the level of special pleading; and does little but reinforce the first premise of my opinion of you. As I suspected, you'll only squeal foul when confronted...instead of taking the care to either explain or clarify.

The Memphis Daily Avalanche reported this event on July 6, 1875.
"Nathan Bedford Forrest was invited to speak by the Jubilee of Pole Bearers, a political and social organization in the post-war era comprised of Black Southerners. Miss Lou Lewis was introduced to General Forrest then presented him with a bouquet of flowers and said: 'Mr. Forrest - allow me to present you this bouquet as a token, of reconciliation, an offering of peace and good will.'
"General Forrest received the flower with a bow, and replied: 'Miss Lewis, ladies and gentlemen - I accept these flowers as a token of reconciliation between the white and colored races of the South. I accept them more particularly, since they come from a lady, for if there is any one on God’s great earth who loves the ladies, it is myself. This is a proud day for me. Having occupied the position I have for thirteen years, and being misunderstood by the colored race, I take this occasion to say that I am your friend. I am here as the representative of the Southern people - one that has been more maligned than any other. I assure you that every man who was in the Confederate army is your friend. We were born on same soil, breathe the same air, live in the same land, and why should we not be brothers and sisters.
When the war broke out I believed it to be my duty to fight for my country, and I did so. I came here with the jeers and sneers of a few white people, who did not think it right. I think it is right, and will do all I can to bring about harmony, peace and unity. I want to elevate every man, and to see you take your places in your shops, stores and but I want you to do as I do - go to the polls and select the best men to vote for. I feel that you are free men, I am a free man, and we can do as we please. I came here as a friend and whenever I can serve any of you I will do so. We have one Union, one flag, one country; therefore, let us stand together. Although we differ in color, we should not differ in sentiment. Many things have been said in regard to myself, and many reports circulated, which may perhaps be believed by some of you, but there are many around me who can contradict them. I have been many times in the heat of battle - oftener, perhaps, than any within the sound of my voice. Men have come to me to ask for quarter, both black and white, and I have shielded them. Do your duty as citizens, and if any are oppressed, I will be your friend. I thank you for the flowers, and assure you that I am with you in heart and hand." ---
Do not slur the memory of a great soldier and patriot for his country. People can and do change
As for the article above, there is no other recourse for this professor but to fire him. His views should disgust any conservative and they should join in the call for getting rid of him
He also discussed attending a recent "gathering" of the White Aryan Race Nation in South Carolina, commenting that he had been gratified by the turnout.
That really disturbs me, especially in my neighboring state. Liberals may be a problem down here, but to me this is more of a problem that needs to be dealt with immediately. I have never understood how these idiots could maintain the level of hate they espouse
Sadly, what you write is true these days. Christians are always fair game.
With this prof having no tenure, I wonder if a lawsuit is in the offering.
Free speech as the defense?
I have seen it happen.
In my opinion being a bigot is no worse than being any of the several varieties of socialist. National Socialists (Nazi's), Communists, World socialists, Maoists, and trotskyites, or any other type should not be allowed to teach in American Universities.
Only Democratic immunity
That was exactly my point...especially when you asked, "If this professor was a member of the Socialist Workers Party, or an anarchist, would he still be dismissed?" The fact is, this professor does follow in those same ideological footsteps, but because "Nazi" and "Hitler" were part of this equation, the Left ignorantly...and intentionally, makes him out to be a rightwinger when this is not the case.
The fact that someone is a racist and may hate black people doesn't make him a rightwinger, either...since it is the Democrat Party who thinks black people couldn't make it on their own without help from them. While their racism may not be as blatant, it is no different, in that they think they are clearly superior to black people...who need to be helped through life. For decades the Left has lied about what Hitler and Nazism stood for.
This guy is a white Cornel West (Harvard).. the difference->> ZERO..
The Civil War didn't become so, over petty differences.
An ancestral relative (uncle, cousin) was a young man named Elijah Parish Lovejoy.
He cme from Maine, to Alton, Illinois. He was a preacher, and news publisher.
In about 1837 he was murdered, over his persistence in publishing his paper. He was 35 years old.
He is recognized for giving his life, for freedom of speech, and opposing slavery. He's particularly respected by black historians, and the late Sen. Simon of Illinois wrote a book about this man.
Another tiny historic factoid is the Mormons. Among the things their contemporaries didn't like was their anti-slavery belief.
Nazis massacre other ethnic groups and try to wipe out the religions that they advertise against, much like their ally in Nazism, the Islamists.
Nazis and their predecessors use the same old advertising, though--slippery and vague, at first, but redundant. So they only serve as targets in a noticeable range exercise once each several centuries.
Communists murder their own, for the most part (see Stalin).
If you see communists teaching in universities, join one of our ongoing campaigns to have them fired. But don't participate in an obvious effort to keep their Nazi socialist friends in teaching jobs, unless you want to wear the reputation.
And he asked us to write a journal as if we were in the shoes of a German soldier during the Holocaust, asking us how we would react.
Funny, this happens every day in schools across the nation
only it's transgender this and racial that, a liberal technique useful in "guiding" young skulls full of mush.
They had the food, the materials, the supplies, were not under a blockade, and still chose to starve brave soldiers. Who was the war criminal again?
A post-war U. S. Congressional investigating committee later found that the Fort Pillow disaster was largely due to incompetent Union command, and Forrest was cleared of all charges of misconduct. Among other issues, the surrender was conducted improperly so as to mislead opposing forces as to intent, resulting in a large number of unnecessary casualties.
The military advisor of the committee, General William T. Sherman, himself a brutal battlefield commander, strongly concurred with the committee's findings. Sherman had once offered a reward for Forrest during the war, referring to him in a conversation with General Grant as "that devil Forrest," and said that he would sacrifice ten-thousand troops, if necessary, to get him. That statement had nothing to do with Fort Pillow. It spoke to General Forrest's ability as a battlefield commander, feared and respected even by his enemies.
As an interesting footnote, in 1998, two U. S. Army JAG officers (lawyers) released an analysis they did of General Sherman's infamous march through Georgia, specifically the part from Atlanta to Savannah. They found that under current military rules of engagement, Sherman committed several acts that would qualify as war crimes, which today, would cause criminal charges to be filed against him. To cite just one example, near Savannah, after one of his officers stepped on a torpedo (land mine) that blew off the man's leg, Sherman forced Confederate prisoners to walk in front of Union troops and act as human mine sweepers.
Will be more than happy to provide the Congressional investigation clearing General Forrest of any wrongdoing if you would like. Of course facts tend to dispel your myths so not sure you would want to see it
So no one is going to accept the university's explanation that he was absent without authorisation (supported by one student), or what, to me, the article seems to imply about the emergence of his Nazi affiliations - that they were discovered because he went public by broadcasting on the Nazi website?
