A fate worse than death. I fell into the Columbia University phone mail system. This prick's phone mail was filled up, so I was cast adrift and finally decided to try for the head of the Anthropology Dept.

Heavier than usual phone traffic is causing a slowdown in answering your call. Please stay on the line."

Perhaps Columbia regrets what he said, but I doubt it. I wonder how the prof felt when the first five former Marine callers told him they were going to kick his ass? Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance.

In God We Trust.....Semper Fi

Oh yeah, I forgot:

I'd love to debate this AZZ on national TV. I challenge him to a debate. Or one of those no holds barred fist and feet fights. His choice. Loser gets deported for life. Come on turdboy I'm calling you.

[verity]

Strange that no one beat the crap out of him - yet!

THIS IS NOT A WAR AGAINST IRAQ THIS IS A WAR AGAINST TERRORISTS AND THIER PRACTICES EVERYWHERE MR.NICHOLAS DE GENOVA!!!

[eleni121]

Just spoke to the Office of the president at Colunbia on the creature DeGenova. The President's secretary said that the professor was speaking as an indiviudal at a teach in and that he was exercising his right of free speech. At this point....Nothing further...

This is not over....

BUMP

[exhaustedmomma]

a Columbia University professor called for the defeat of American forces in Iraq and said he would like to see "a million Mogadishus"

Along with the likes of bin Laden & comrads, De Genova, is fixin' to discover that not all Americans are paper tigers [like x42].

[Kaafi]

[Mr. Mojo]

"I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus."

I personally would like to see this piece of drek say that to my face.

[AAABEST]

This trog wishes that American kids lose limbs and their lives? OK then, we wish that he loses his job. Free speech works both ways.

Emailing him personally is fine, but hit him where it hurts. Here's the contact information for the Provost, his boss in the Anthropology Dept. and Public affairs:

Jonathan Cole (Provost)	email: jrcs@columbia.edu phone: 212-854-2404
Nicholas Dirks (Anthropology Dept Head)	email: nbd7@columbia.edu phone: 212-854-4552
Columbia Public Affairs Dept	phone: 212-854-5573

[AAABEST]

See the post after yours. Get even.

I have just got off the phone with the Pres' office. The gentleman I spoke with was as disgusted with De Genovas comment as most of us are. He said that the University PIO office has issued the SOP 'his views, not the univ's views' hand out. He also mentioned that calls to the PIO office may help stir things up. 212.854.5573. Also the links mentioned would help. This crap must be confronted when it occurs. Never rest...never give up...it must be dealt with.

[P-Marlowe]

I called. The person answering the phone said Mr. Bollinger was not available. I told her that we are at war and that these statements border on treason as they give comfort to the enemy. If Mr. DeGenova had so much as given a nickle in "aid" to Iraq, that he could then be prosecuted for treason.

She claimed that he was speaking as an "individual" and not as a representative of Columbia University. I told her that anything a professor says while on campus IS something that the university has sanctioned and thus we have to assume that unless he is fired, that this is the official position of Columbia University.

Lets keep up the pressure. This guy needs to be held accountable for his "free" speech. Let him know that "free" speech can be expensive. Lets let him know that free speech may just cost him his cushy little job.

Emphasize that we are at war here and that people are dying to keep this university from being nuked and nerve gassed. And this is the respect Columbia University gives to those who are willing to give their lives to save their sorry a$$es? Excuse me, I've got to go puke.

Tried to send this but got account does not exist message form the Email Addresses you list.

Too Far

The recent hate spewed by one Nicholas De Genova of your staff has gone too far. It is one thing to oppose the war in Iraq, but another to wish death on US and British Troops. I doubt that you or Mr. De Genova have ever served your country in any way so I expect that this is a waste of my time and yours. Since it seems to be acceptable at your institution to have no concern for your country or the people who serve so bravely I will respond in terms a little less harse. I hope that someone beats the Crap out of Mr. De Genova. If you choose to let him go unpunished, I hope they beat the Crap out of you also.

I tried contacting the provost and it came back to me saying that this is an incorrect address. Got anything else?

GRRRRRRR! I am hopping mad and would love to see this #%^#(&$ FReeped for his outrageous expression of 'free speech' in hoping for a 'million Mogadishus'. Please share with FReepers in or near NY.
