Ithaca is the City of Evil.

City of Evil bump:

Scratch a Liberal...

[TBP]

Typical liberal devotion to freedom and tolerance.

I had to endure two years in that hell hole while I was getting my MBA. I never, ever want to go there again.

[Restorer]

did not bother to condemn other “ethnic” nicknames, such as the “Fighting Irish” or “Trojans.”

To be perfectly fair, the Trojans have been extinct as an ethnic group for perhaps 3,000 years.

BTW, is naming teams after condoms a new trend? That ought to make liberals happy.

[Alouette]

The Ithaca Imbeciles has a nice ring to it.

It's a stacked argument. Terms like "Fighting Irish" are positive. It brings to mind an image of stalwart Irishmen. But a term like "Ghetto Fighters" is intended to be insulting.

[NativeNewYorker]

It is painful to contemplate just how blindingly stupid these people are.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

What's Cornell University's nick name?

Oh yeah, The Big Red.

I finally get it.

[Mr. Silverback]

Ironically, however, the paper, in using hypothetical “European” nicknames as “The Frogs” and “The [ Warsaw ] Ghetto Fighters” to illustrate what would be “hostile and abusive” towards those of European descent, did not bother to condemn other “ethnic” nicknames, such as the “Fighting Irish” or “Trojans.”

I highly doubt Jews would consider "Warsaw ghetto Fighters" to be a kick in the teeth.

I stand with Governor Bush on this one, who said the NAACP and liberal groups are insulting Native Americans by saying, "No, you don't understand, you should be really upset by this. We're much better versed on Indian issues than you!"
