"De Genova,
Your response to the patriotic outcry over your remarks is worse than the remarks themselves. Now that you have put them in context, they are even MORE anti-American. As long as you remain in the United States, suckling at the teat of the country you so despise, you are a hypocrite and a coward. I challenge you to stand up for what you believe and LEAVE THE U.S. NOW!
And Mr. Foner: a whole "teach-in" bashing American foreign policy does not automatically equivocate with "presentations of high intellectual caliber". You are covering your exposed butt hoping you do not lose your departments funding, that much is obvious. (by the way, until De Genova finds his cojones and leaves this country, I would avoid the use of words like "caliber". It could give some real, honest, Americans some rather radical ideas! Please do not construe that as any kind of threat by me. To do so would be remarkably decontextualized and inflammatory)."

The spectator has written several articles somewhat critical of De Genova, for which they should be commended. But to not publish severely critical responses calling for De Genova's ouster is to lose sight of the journalistic mission.
Mr. DeGenova, Yuck Foo.
Much of his professional work has focused on the effects of racialized differences on Mexican migrant laborers in the city of Chicago. He has also studied gangster rap in black America and published several prize-winning photo essays.
MY response to the POS:
Another case of left wing elitist exploitation of the upwardly mobile economically disadvantaged classes. Using their culture and their experience to get a job teaching 3 hours a week. Why doesn't DiGenova actually go and work and live in the barrio for a few years the POS? Better yet, he should be sent to the kurds in Northern Iraq for a crash course in re educating the limp wristed, effete, leftist intellectual snob that he is.
