Foner said that because of the university's tradition of freedom of speech, it was unlikely De Genova would suffer professionally in any way because of what he said.

"A person's politics have no impact on their employment status here, whether they are promoted, whether they are fired or whether they get tenure," Foner said.

Politics? Calling for death to Americans is a little beyond politics isn't it. Bot, oh gee, we wouldn't want to be intolerant of anyone.

Ah yes, you just gotta love Ive League education.

[RAT Patrol]

You crack me up with that picture in post 55.

[craig_eddy]

Nah, they probably just changed his addy...

[TonyWojo]

Actually I just got off the phone with the President's Office at Columbia, The school will be issuing a statement within a half hour. They have been inundated with phone calls. That bastard needs to lose his job.

[Tax Government]

Are public tax dollars in any way supporting this person? Of course. It's way, way past time to pull the plug.

[TonyWojo]

By the way the phone number is 212-854-9970

[AAABEST]

CATaction!

I'm calling now.

[AAABEST]

LMAO!!!!!!!! Again!

[Marysecretary]

You got that right!

[Marysecretary]

I e-mailed him.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Yeah. Protesting is one thing (bad enough) but hoping for the deaths of our troops should be exile material. I wish I could meet him and his boss have a few beers and chat about current events then beat both of them within inches of their pitiful little deaths.

I'll go on record, "I hope someone near him beats him to a pulp, I only wish it could be me".

[YoungKentuckyConservative]

Not at Columbia University, the college originally founded by communist kicked out of Germany. Never! (*SARCASM*)

[RAT Patrol]

I guess if wishing death on other Americans is just another political opinion then he's a great place to start.

[1 spark]

I just emailed O'Reilly.

As usual I am not disappointed in the passion of Freepers. I posted this before I left for work this morning because I was so angry and I was even late due to the effort of finding it online. posting etc. Now that I am home and viewing the response I know it was worth it. Not to mention, I feel better knowing you guys did a great job of getting the info on here to contact the appropriate people. Now if we can just get O'Reilly on this case. This to me crosses the line of free speech into the realm of treason.

Mr. De Genova:

Normally, I take the time to politely disagree with people who share a different political viewpoint than my own. All Americans have First Amendment rights and should be encouraged to state their views.

However, I am left speechless by your pathetic and disgusting and remarks concerning the U.S. Armed forces. Wishing death upon U.S. soldiers simply because you do not agree the policy of the nation's elected leaders is the mark of a craven coward. You do not have the honor nor the soul to polish the boots of any member of the Armed Services. By your words, if I get called to active service, you want me to die? That wouldn't be a threat, would it?

I'm not wasting any more words on a sniveling, useless, waste of human flesh such as yourself.

With the utmost contempt,

P.S. I'd offer you to attempt to 'Mogadishu' me mano a mano but I know that won't happen.

----I also titled the subject line "What a great speech!" so the jerk actually opens it before he deletes it.

[Marysecretary]

I really am ashamed at the way college professors profess their hatred of our President, our cabinet members and our troops. Not one word when Clinton was bombing aspirin factories and screwing young women though! Just a little bias perhaps? I have grown to despise the left SO much. We have a lot of them here at my school, too. I like them as people, I hate their views. It's important to separate the two at times. I have my door covered with pictures of soldiers, of Bush and co., of Columbia pics. So different from what's on everybody else's door. I don't care anymore. Sometimes you just have to speak out.

[A Navy Vet]

WTF?
