HERNDON, VA –Warren Community College English professor, John Daly, said that “Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors.” Rebecca Beach, a freshman at Warren Community College in Washington, New Jersey, received this unexpected reply to a recent email she sent the faculty at her school announcing the appearance of decorated Iraq war hero, Lt. Col. Scott Rutter, on Thursday, November 17 to discuss America’s accomplishments in Iraq.
In the email, Daly told Rebecca that he will ask students in his English and writing classes to boycott the event and also vowed “to expose [her] right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like [Rebecca’s] won’t dare show their face on a college campus.” Daly’s mean spirited and hateful comments were directed at Rebecca for organizing Lt. Col. Scott Rutter and for hanging up fliers contrasting the number of people killed under communism to those liberated under Ronald Reagan.
Since Professor John Daly has created a hostile learning environment for Rebecca, she is demanding that Warren Community College President William Austin institute seminars on free speech and sensitivity to teach intolerant leftists, such as Daly, to be respectful of differing opinion
Daly’s insane email to Rebecca also claimed that “CAPTIALISM has killed many more” people than communism [emphasis his] and that the “poor and working class people” are recruited to “fight and die for EXXON and other corporations.”
“John Daly was hired to teach English, not to verbally attack students and lead leftist protests,” said Jason Mattera, spokesman for Young America’s Foundation.
The full unedited text of Daly’s email follows.
November 13, 2005
Dear Rebecca:
I am asking my students to boycott your event. I am also going to ask others to boycott it. Your literature and signs in the entrance lobby look like fascist propaganda and is extremely offensive. Your main poster "Communism killed 100,000,000" is not only untrue, but ignores the fact that CAPITALISM has killed many more and the evidence for that can be seen in the daily news papers. The U.S. government can fly to dominate the people of Iraq in 12 hours, yet it took them five days to assist the people devastated by huricane Katrina. Racism and profits were key to their priorities. Exxon, by the way, made $9 Billion in profits this last quarter--their highest proft margin ever. Thanks to the students of WCCC and other poor and working class people who are recruited to fight and die for EXXON and other corporations who earning megaprofits from their imperialist plunders. If you want to count the number of deaths based on political systems, you can begin with the more than a million children who have died in Iraq from U.S.-imposed sanctions and war. Or the million African American people who died from lack of access to healthcare in the US over the last 10 years.
I will continue to expose your right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like your won't dare show their face on a college campus. Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors and fight for just causes and for people's needs--such freedom fighters can be counted throughout American history and they certainly will be counted again.
Prof. John Daly

King Richard II (Act 1 Scene 1): Henry Bolingbroke speaks these words to the Duke of Norfolk, Thomas Mowbray, accusing him of high treason:
Thou art a traitor and a miscreant,
Too good to be so and too bad to live,
Since the more fair and crystal is the sky,
The uglier seem the clouds that in it fly.
Once more, the more to aggravate the note,
With a foul traitor's name stuff I thy throat;
And wish, so please my sovereign, ere I move,
What my tongue speaks my right drawn sword may prove.
Incidentally, Richard II eventually banished Thomas Mowbray from the country for life. Not a bad idea for Daly to suffer the same fate in my opinion
He speaks first and formost as a professor as may be seen here
I am asking my students to boycott your event.
Skipping over much that is both ignorant and repugnant we get to this outright attempt at intimidation
I will continue to expose your right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like your won't dare show their face on a college campus.
And in case she doesn't get the message addressed to her personally he adds the line that has garnered so much attention
Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors ...
While I am only a lowly systems engineer, I did pay close attention in my writing classes and a linguistics class. What I see in Day's email is a attempt to intimidate a student with the clear threat of violence.
One has to ask, if Daly is going to advocate soldiers shoot their superiors what is he implying should be done to someone he has labeled as fascist, right-wing, anti-people by 'right' thinking individuals such as himself. Clearly anything could be justified in his small mind.
Finally the apology also ignores Daly's signature line clearly showing once again he was speaking as a staff member at the school when he uses 'Prof' as he has no more than a master's degree according to his bio.
Prof. John Daly
No company would keep any employee attempting to intimidate a customer of the company - especially when speaking as a member of the company.
Bye Bye Mr. Daly.

NFS? Your balls be bigger than mine. LOL
To suggest that putting the man on trial makes the government the enemy is ludicrous. You've been brainwashed by the left into thinking that the right to free speech doesn't come with responsibility.
PTTP Bump
Can make it hard to walk sometimes, then westerners are supposed to look bow-legged. LOL
It seems that the College has cut its website off from non-univerity personnel.

Not surprised... I'm sure they're being hit with a LOT of traffic. Of course we already have the email addresses we need. Keep those cards and letters flowing folks!

 Professor defends position on ending the war in Iraq Campus controversy. U.S. using Middle East as a "profit source," adjunct faculty member claims.
Friday, November 18, 2005
By SARA LEITCH The Express-TimesA part-time professor at Warren County Community College stands by some controversial comments he e-mailed to a student there that have raised eyebrows around the country. John Daly, an adjunct English professor, said Thursday he believes the war in Iraq will end only when American soldiers turn their guns on their commanders. "The only possible end for the war is not going to be from our politicians, who represent corporations," Daly said. "We're going to stay in Iraq and occupy the Middle East as a profit source that will only change when the students at WCCC who are sent there to die for oil profits decide they're not going to die there." Daly said he was a member of International ANSWER, an anti-war group. He e-mailed WCCC freshman Rebecca Beach on Sunday, responding to her request to tell his students about a campus visit by retired Lt. Col. Scott Rutter. Daly's message eventually reached conservative broadcaster Sean Hannity, who read it Thursday during his nationally syndicated radio program. Rutter, now a Fox News commentator, spoke Thursday about his experiences in Iraq as a battalion commander in the first and current wars in Iraq, and on the way the media report on Iraq. Beach, a pre-law and political science major, founded the WCCC chapter of Young Americans for Freedom, a national conservative activist group. The group has about 15 members, Beach said. The group used $1,000 in student activities fees to bring Rutter to campus. The Young America's Foundation, which brings conservative speakers to college campuses, co-sponsored Rutter's talk. "The administration at WCCC believes Rebecca Beach is an innocent student acting alone, but I recognized her literature right away as being part of a national right-wing movement," Daly said. "Her group is an ultra right-wing, possibly fascist, group." Beach, who said she has never met Daly, said she invited Rutter to campus as part of her group's celebration of Freedom Week, which commemorates Veterans Day and the toppling of the Berlin Wall on Nov. 9, 1989. She said she was shocked by Daly's message. "We were just celebrating and raising awareness," Beach said. "We want free speech and tolerance, and they want it for themselves and not for others. That's just utterly ridiculous." Reporter Sara Leitch can be reached at 908-475-8044 or by e-mail at sleitch@express-times.com . |
