We all know the true answer to your question, but I'd be interested in hearing what PC response you get (if any).

[BillyBonebrake]

I like your name skull...we might be related. Anyway, the professor wasn't too hard to find at switchboard.com heh heh

[Stultis]

Acknowledging his beliefs are more radical than those of many others at Wednesday's forum

No they aren't. De Genova is just more explicit and upfront about what he really thinks. In this limited respect (and only in this respect) I applaud the callous, bilious, freedom-hating freak.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

I wish I had said that! I am proud of you old Sergeant Major!

We should wish him very soon to be recipient of that special virginal reward - perhaps Saddam or O'Sama could see that he is made an honorary Islamist, and perhaps Arabfart could give him a suicide mission to send him to that reward! Finally, we should wish that his "virgins" come from Tigrit...

The real evil is that this university professor and his kind are indoctrinating our young people with this same drivel and hatred for our country. And as for "freedom of expression", he has stepped way over the line!

[Jen]

I wonder how many similar 'offers' they've received from Vets or active military? hahahahahaha

[BillyBonebrake]

I just left him a not-so-assuring message on his answering machine. I mentioned to him the fact that this is now on the AP newswire, all over the internet, and that he'll soon be famous...err...rather, infamous.

[Greg Luzinski]

I should know this, but about whom are you talking?

The central concerns of my research and teaching include: labor and class formation, racialization, the production of urban space, nationalism, the politics of citizenship, and transnational social processes, especially migration. My ethnographic research explores the social productions of racialized and spatialized difference in the experiences of transnational Mexican migrant workers within the space of the U.S. nation-state. More specifically, I examine transnational urban conjunctural spaces that link the U.S. and Latin America as a standpoint of critique from which to interrogate U.S. nationalism, political economy, racialized citizenship, and immigration law. This work contributes to a reconceptualization of Latin American, Latino, and "American" (U.S.) Studies. Likewise, I am interested in the methodological problems of ethnographic research practice and the limits of anthropological disciplinary forms of knowledge and modes of representation.

Just remember, the same people who did this are now being admitted to the United States as "refugees". Maybe they'll do a repeat performance soon on American streets.

[TADSLOS]

Yes, I know. The State Department is actively engaging in supporting the immigration of a group of people with the inclination to be potential terrorists. It's twisted.

[Greg Luzinski]

In general, we should not be bothering with the academic departments and be contacting those with real power at Columbia ... the trustees and substantial donors. This information shouldn't be too hard to find. (Wish I had more time.)

[Sparky760]

These may not be so easy to find....I had no luck so far. I think you need a little more inside info for this.

[4.1O dana super trac pak]

Freeped!

[Sparky760]

waiting anxiously and hoping O'Reilly is onto this tonight.

[Chad Fairbanks]

I want to see a million kent States... Take THAT, punk...

[gramcam]

I can't imagine how the parents/spouses of those men will feel when they hear of this. Didn't the father of one of them refuse a medal from Clinton and snub him big time? I bet HE'D have something to say ... and I bet media would be all over it.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

sometimes the 1st amendment is a very bitter pill to swallow, 'cause with (place explitive here) like this guy i'd love nothing more than to stuff that pill down his throat with my fist, ya know?
