Embattled DePaul professor Finkelstein agrees to resign
Chicago Sun Times ^ | Sept. 5, 2007 | Don Babwin

A DePaul University professor who has drawn criticism for accusing some Jews of improperly using the legacy of the Holocaust agreed Wednesday to resign immediately ''for everybody's sake.''

University officials and political science professor Norman Finkelstein issued a joint statement announcing the resignation, which came as about a hundred protesters gathered outside the dean's office to support him.

Finkelstein was denied tenure in June after spending six years on DePaul's faculty, and his remaining class was cut by DePaul last month.

And yet professors who call for jihad keep their jobs. Go figure.

Actually he is a darling of the Holocaust deniers and the Professors-Who-Call-For-Jihad. This is definitely a small step for sanity.

Again, apart from his venomous and slanderous hatred of his own ethnic group, he is simply not possessed of the technical qualifications for the job he was seeking.

How can someone be a professor of modern German history and not be able to read German?

How can someone claim to be an academic authority on the Israel-Palestinian conflict and be unable to read Modern Hebrew or Arabic?

Unlike Finkelstein, those professor may actually be qualified in their fields.

And I'm sure that Klansmen who voted went overwhelmingly for Bush. Does that say anything negative about Bush?

That it's dangerous to draw negative conclusions about a person based on his being supported by odious persons. I think they call it "guilt by association."

I'm not sure of that at all, considering that Stormfront and other Klan-friendly sites are blistering with BDS.

Does that say anything negative about Bush?

If President Bush welcomed them as friends, boasted of their support and praised their opinions, it would.

Norman Finkelstein follows that path.

Then you belong with the moonbats. Sen. Byrd's buddies overwhelmingly protest with the liberals against the war. They think Pres. Bush is controlled by the Jews.

The KKK were always 100% Democrat. Don’t put them in with us.

So why does Finkelstein enjoy being around these guys? Why does he go to all their parties? Why doesn't he choose other friends?

Only a Narcissistic Academic would characterize student support for HIM as ‘spiritual,’ being the center of his own universe.
