Can you say "aid and comfort to the enemy"? I would only wish that someone in academia would put their foot down and stand up to these scumbags. Dissent is a fine American value, but this is beyond dissent and past treason in my eyes.

Just goes to prove that getting a little piece of paper from a college or university doesn't make you smart.

Anyone have the UTM coordinates for the room? Sounds like a target rich environment to me.

These idiots really think this will be recieved like the 60's.
Most Americans would not have learned about what they were saying then.
Now with 24 hour news, radio, and the internet millions of Americans will hear this and be disgusted.

"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. Then, I assume, about 50% of the faculity are conservative Republicans. Right?

Here is a bio from Columbia on Comrade Professor. Send him an e-mail and let him know what you think:
NICHOLAS DE GENOVA, Assistant Professor
Ph.D., University of Chicago
Telephone: (212) 854-0199
office: 416 Hamilton
email:
npd18@columbia.edu 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.

Interesting article and I can't disagree with any of the previous postings.
But why list it as "excerpted". It was good enough that I wanted to read the rest.
Upon clicking the link, I find out that you'd posted the whole article. There's an "excerpt" epidemic brewing here on FR. Annoying.

I suppose it didn't occur to gangsta-prof that "a million Mogadishus" would equal a billion dead Muslims; the American troops in the Mog battle killed at least 1000 Somalis, and there is good reason to suspect that the actual number was much higher. See "Blackhawk Down" (the book, not the fictionalized movie).
Like the Somali militia, Saddam's fedayeen are being killed like ants, yet the left still hail their feeble successes as a great victory. Who is it who has little regard for human life?

He sounds like the type who wears a "What Would Paulo Freire Do?" bracelet.
To: atomic conspiracy
Hmmm. A billion dead Muslims?
A thousand year peace.

If the photo I saw of this guy is for real, this is someone who has... special problems, if you know what I mean. Like... birth defect or something.

Prof De Genova's comments are worse than presented here. He equates patriotism with genocide and white nationalism.
A liberal Columbia Student wrote this account for the Columbia Spectator.

The good news is that Columbia's students are split about 50-50. http://www.columbiaspectator.com/vnews/display.v/SEC/War+in+Iraq

No. It wasn't muslim arabs that were killed in Mogadishus. It was Africans. This racist bastard is calling for the deaths of a billion blacks. This is more than Sen. Byrd ever
hoped for.
