Steve Vincent's Wife Responds to "Professor" Juan Cole

Murdoc Online ^ | Lisa Ramaci-Vincent

[Mr.Clark]

Cole is scum.

[Balding_Eagle]

Bump

[Mr.Clark]

Bump.

[sdk7x7]

My deepest condolences to you, ma'am. I read a comment by Mr. Cole recently in which he declared that the war on terror was over, as it was nothing more than 4 more men hiding in a room (referring to the 4 captured London bombers).

I am a student at the Univ. of Pennsylvania, and I sent Mr. Cole a polite but firm e-mail refuting his statement. Instead of defending his words, he brushed me off and told me that he was merely using sarcasm, something that "perhaps" I had not learned about at Penn yet.

Mr. Cole was an asshole to me, so I responded in kind: No, I hadn't learned about sarcasm in college yet, I wrote, because Ivy Leaguers were expected to have learned this at an earlier age. This was, on my part, an immature insult against Mr. Cole, who has attended a number of fine universities, although none are among the Ivy League. Nevertheless, his reponse was snotty and arrogant, and provided no signs that he deserved a PhD, a position as president of a "middle east studies institute," or a taxpayer-funded professorship at Univ. of Michigan.

You know, after reading this I am more apt to beleive that this guy was smoothe than anything else.

He has his wife still shilling for him over his love for another woman he intended to marry in order to 'save.'

There is no woman I have ever been involved with, ever, who would go along with that, let alone shill for me over it after I have entered the great beyond.

I call em like I see em.

"gestures might be interpreted by the misogynistic cretins who surrounded her daily."

I have never heard the word 'misgynistic' before today. On FR, this word was used twice today. Not only is FR a great read, you can expand your vocabulary. ;)

[Racehorse]

Do you perhaps labor under the misapprehension I am such a spineless cuckold that I would put myself out thusly for the woman you believe my husband was traducing me with? If so, I'm guessing you don't know much about the Sicilian female temperament.)

I would think that after receiving Senora  Ramaci-Vincent's ballistic missive, little boy Cole has learned a great deal about the Sicilian female temperment.

(And, btw, so did I.)

and Chillary believed x42i was only "counseling" interns.

[Virginia Queen]

You go girl!!!!
Seriously, I can't think of a time when I have read a more eloquent or well-deserved "put down." It is just tragic that you - at this most awful time in your live (I too am a widow) - had to deal with such a pour excuse for pond-scum. God has a special place reserved for a$$h___s such as Cole.

Cole is an embarrassment to the University of Michigan. He teaches nothing of substance--a few bizarre upper level classes. His CV is joke. All he has is some sensationalistic blog. The University needs to find a real professor. This guy has serious problems.

[denydenydeny]

Cole is the worst kind of human being.

[McGavin999]

Cole is a joke. I don't know anyone who actually respects his opinion (except for the terribly young and weak minded).

[Congressman Billybob]

I hope this lady of courage and eloquence reads this thread. If so, I have two comments for her: Thank you for your powerful statement to dispel the dishonesties about Steven and Noor. And, thank you for sharing your husband with us, and with the world. We are all the better for his life and work.

John / Billybob

I call em like I see em.

Apparently you don't see too well, having completely missed her third paragraph.

News flash: Everyone isn't as petty and small-minded as you are.

[Congressman Billybob]

If someone can find the e-mail of the President of this university, I believe the widow's letter should be sent to him, with a suggestion that he/she should consider whether a professor who savages the dead and injured on the basis of no facts deserves to be a tenured professor at that university.

John /Billybob

[Mr.Clark]

You ever attempt to save a woman from a culture that imprisons or seeks to kill them? You're wife wouldn't go along with that?

[HitmanLV]

I read the third paragraph. But you may be right, everyone isn't as petty and small minded as I am.

Many are gullible, in fact.

[HitmanLV]

No, I don't think any woman I have romanced would let me marry another woman to save her. Sorry.

[Mr.Clark]

You, like Cole, have no evidence that Mr. Vincent was "romancing" her. If he was, do you think he would have mentioned the lady to his wife at all?

[pollyannaish]

Hmmm...I was just thinking that I would go along with something like this. I trust my husband that much.

I know nothing about this information, but I will call em like I see em and say that I see this as plausible.
