My Message to Columbia Professor Nicholas De Genova regardin his death wish for our forces
FreeRepublic | March 29, 2003 | Jeff Head

Posted on 03/29/2003 10:40:57 AM PST by Jeff Head

The following is my email to Professor Nicholas De Genova of Columbia University who was quoted in the New York Post as wishing a "million Mogadishus" on American servicement in Iraq at an anti-war rally.

This was reported on FreeRepublic on this thread, Columbia Prof wishes death to GIs.

Here's my email to him:

Nicholas De Genova,

Your call for the US Military to suffer a "million Mogadishus" has crossed a serious line on civility and duty and commitment to our nation.

You are wishing for the death of 18,000,000 of your fellow countrymen and women, individuals who are fighting for your ability to make your crass statements about their well being.

Are you familiar with the term "useful idiot"? If you are not, I suggest that your read your history regarding the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Note the ultimate outcome to the "useful idiots" employed by the Bolsheviks. If you get your way, and these tyrants are victorious, those very people you support with your comments would have no compunction about doing the same to you and your ilk, while the very people you deride are dedicated to your life and liberty. Perhaps you should think about that.

In addition, you are self defeating in your own comments. You clearly have no concept of history, even recent history. Something between 2,000 and 10,000 Somalis were killed in that Mogadishu battle. Your wish for 18,000,000 American dead would result in between 2,000,000,000 and 10,000,000,000 Iraqi dead ... in other words, a complete depopulation of that country. With such a statement, and such a wish, you reveal your true genocidical nature.

Individuals like you are what is wrong with the world today. You are so transparent and so ignorant of history that it would be laughable, if your policies were not so dangerous. All I can say to you are the words that Samuel Adams said to similar defeatists and traitorous thinkers to the original American cause:
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom...go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels nor arms. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."- Samuel Adams
Without and ounce of respect,

Never mind - I didn't read down the thread far enough ;-). I knew you'd be smart enough to cover all the bases.

Just found this: http://www.andrewsullivan.com/

A FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT: A friend was actually at the Columbia meeting where far left professor de Genova called for the murder and mutilation of American troops. My account was based on Newsday's story. Here's an alternative version:

"You're right that no one objected to the Mogadishu line: I sat there astonished he was even saying that. But it's bullshit to say the final line of his speech drew "loud cheers from an Ivy League audience." A significant portion of the room (I'd guess a quarter) did start clapping, but I heard no cheers, much less loud cheers. Of course, I was in shock, hissing, shaking my head that ANYONE was clapping rather than booing. All I can tell you is that I paid close attention to see if further speakers over the next few hours would repudiate those comments. And when two speakers did disagree with him (including Foner), the applause was louder. It says something that Columbia students are not willing to stand up en masse and disagree with such disgusting comments, but it does not say that most of them agree with what was said. He certainly was not representative of the other professor's thoughts. On the contrary, the speaker was a last minute addition replacing someone who was sick, and he was alone in the type of comments he made.

I'm glad Foner objected at the time.

Major email campaign already underway to him and to the President of Columbia.

See post 60, and my follow-up at post 225.

Best Fregards.

An American College under siege, namely Columbia University by the leftist/marxist regime will be liberated from the so called professors there. Then the other Colleges and Universities will suffer the same fate.

DeGenova, as a review of the tape would show that not only did DeGenova call for "a million Mogadishus," but he also praised Asan Akbar, the army sergeant who rolled several grenades into an officers' tent in Kuwait two weeks ago in the first "fragging" incident since Vietnam.

I just reviewed an article that stated De Genova will keep his job at Columbia. Another article said that Columbia receives 300 million dollars in federal funding.

Then an email campaign needs to extend to lawmakers demanding the same things the alumni are demanding.

If enough Alumni cut off donations ... I still believe the University will relent ... but it is sickening that your and my monies are going to support an abject traitor and jerk like this. My emails/mail is off to my rep and my senator today.

Mogadishu, Round Two:

(U of Penn Prof Prefers U.S. Casualties)

"...if we won too quickly, if we broke things in Afghanistan too successfully, and that's definitely what we're good at, we're fantastic at breaking anything we can find—it's putting things back together that's the tough question—but my fear at that time was that if we broke the Taliban too fast and it was perceived in the United States that we had a quick and relatively bloodless on the American side victory,..."

Where do they get these people? They are coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden.

I say ... let them come out. All the better to know exactly who they are in their wish for Americn service personnel to die. Such a wish, and an abject vocalization of it, carries consequences, as the disgusting Dr. De Genova is finding. May this despicable person find the same, and soon.

I spell checked a letter to Dr. Bollinger and an alternative spelling for DeGenova was offered:

degenerate, which means, according to Webster:
having sunk to a condition below that which is normal to a type; especially having sunk to a lower and usually corrupt and vicious state

Jeff, what's up with this campaign. This guy needs to be fired in a big way. If I were near there, I would show up with a big sign offering him a one way ticket to France.

It's taken on a life of its own. Congressional reps getting involved. Lots of major editorials calling for the same and a big internet and email chain thing going on directed at De Genova and Bollinger. The Alumni at Columbia is heavily involved now.

There's an update HERE

I sent him an e-mail. It was far less eloquent. I suggested some biological impossibilities.

Please keep up updated. I noticed not much posted in the last couple of days understandably with all that going on, but this must not fall thru the cracks.
