RE post 80 Columbia is not the only university imbeded with marxists and low life scum. Perhaps we should look indepth at all our colleges and Universities. I can name names but will not at this time.

"They'd love for us to fire him, but it's not going to happen," Gray said. "He's protected under academic free speech."

What if he had said he hoped all AIDs-infected homosexuals would die? What if he had said blacks are lazy and oversexed? What if he said abortionists are murderers and should be dealt justice? See, academic free speech depends not on being allowed to say things, but what things you say. Attack liberal, left-wing icons with the same vitriol (or even less) that he used against the US and our military will get you canned, academic free speech be damned!

Who is Gray trying to fool? Columbia supports De Gonova's comments as long as he's teaching there.

De Genova appeared at a University function in his role as a professor. Hence, he was not speaking as a private citizen, but in his offical role. If then he violated the University's "hate speech" codes, or other rules and regulation on professional conduct, he should be dealt with under the University's punishment system. De Genova should also be told he now has an ice cube's chance in hell of getting tenure - he'll probably leave on his own volition.

This is Beautiful!

Let's start compiling a list of others professors to go after. Tops on my list is Noam Chomsky at MIT!

'DeGenova' defies every rhyme;
I've tried them all, plain and sublime,
But the answer's so simple:
The cancerous pimple
Deserves not a jot of my time.

In the good old days, guys like this would be tarred and feathered and carried out of town on a rail.

Some traditions need to be revived.

Can anyone help? Even if just to BUMP this until it gets noticed by the right people?

Many thanks!

Let's keep the pressure on. In fact, this is the time to redouble our efforts because the crack is beginning to appear. We can make a difference here.

If it's not been done already, can someone post an email link so our freepisms will go to the most effective party?

I'm going to start a thread for Friday's lighter side posts entitled "What's Your Favorite Limerick?"

I'd like to use yours.

Here's one of mine:

A goon by the name of Saddam
Decided he needed “The Bomb”.
George Bush took exception,
Saw through his deception
And dispatched him with haste and aplomb.

Oh how I wish I were a Columbia U. alum, extremly wealthy, and a heavy contributor to Columbia.

That way I could cut off my contributions and feel real good!

John Butkiewicz, CC '51 and a former member of the U.S. Army, informed Bollinger that he was revising his will to exclude Columbia.

I LOVE IT! I hope there are a 1000 more Mr. Butkiewicz's out there.

lawgirl, don't your mean 1,000,000 more Mr. Butkiewicz's. :-)
