Terror Teacher- Columbia's Nicholas De Genova message of "Death to America!"

Can you imagine a conservative professor at Columbia saying something controversial like, I don't know, "Stalin was a bad person" or something like that? Many leftist "pacifists" would issue death threats immediately and there would be a riot. The administration would not send guards to protect the professor. Instead, we would hear sanctimonious talk about how the First Amendment takes a back seat to "diversity" and that "diversity" demands everyone think exactly alike--like Marxists. Then the professor would be fired for being "a disrupitve element" while the leftists rioted.

I'm sure he got some very strongly worded messages.
I wonder how many actually threatened his life.
In his mind, a "death threat" would be any condemnation of his opinion.

What truly astounds me about our "friends" over on the Left is how they can't seem to stop running their mouths... like that old "rule of holes"-- when you find yourself in one, quit digging...

I bet the queen is making up the death threat business...I would expect that, from someone as crazy as he to spout something so roundly and thoroughly dumb.

You have NO IDEA how far left these Latino studies people are, as sick minded as anything you see, the Nation looks centrist.

Having witnessed some of the Latino demonstrators at Cornell University, I will second your descriptions of their extreme behavior. One agitator interrupted a presentation, that questioned multiculturalism, with rantings about nonsense. His remarks made it clear that he was not in college based on intellectual merit but on affirmative action. It was sad to see such lunatics at work. The same year, a mob of Latino activists shut down a local pizza shop by demonstrating in the street and harassing patrons. The Cornell latino crowd has a history of nuttiness going back to their take over of the university adminstration at gun point back in the 1970's.

Be very careful who you call a friend. We found out a bit more about our friends in Mexico, Canada, France, Germany and Russia that SoS Powell kept referring to when the chips were down.

De Genova, who teaches anthropology and Latino studies, told a class he'd been lying low because he got death threats, one student told The Post.

He can sure give a death threat, but can't take one...

[Hermann the Cherusker]

Hopefully, some ROTC students acidentally bump into him ...

I'm traveling to NYC for my annual Memorial Day trek. I may try and do just that. I know I shouldn't.......

Who is paying for the security he's getting? Hmmm.. probably the American taxpayers.

I wish him "a million Baghdads".

[CheneyChick]

Why is he still working there?

I'm sure the alumni donors love the fact that school money is being spent on two bodyguards for this POS.

Patriotism equals white supremacy?

On Mar 26, Nicholas De Genova, a professor of Latino Studies at Columbia University, declared at an anti-war rally that "patriotism equals white supremacy," and that he hoped for "a million Mogadishus."

Columbia University, after a public outcry, has distanced itself from the professor, saying it is shocked at De Genova's remarks. But the view that "patriotism equals white supremacy" is not exactly fringe in the Latino Studies departments on America's campuses. The view is, in fact, quite common.

In this case, even those at the rally were stunned into silence by the exceptionally graphic ugliness of the professor's comments, but his view is not that surprising given the politics of resentment and racial malice that pass for elevated thinking in large segments of the various ethnic studies departments of American academe.

What does this have to do with immigration? While that remarkable creation of Western Civilization, the University, continues to play host to blatant sedition (there is no other word for it) and venomous racial agitation, the current wave of mass immigration cannot be viewed by thoughtful Americans as other than an outright menace to the public good. While so many of our future leaders are nurtured on racial grievance and inculcated with a moral code founded on ethnicity and skin color, the current wave of mass immigration cannot honestly be viewed as a strength.

I believe that Professor De Genova has gotten his historical analogies wrong. It's not a million "Mogadishus" that we will see as a result of the so far quite successful "Iraqi Freedom" military campaign, but several thousand "Ceaucescus", for Saddam Hussein in particular, if he still draws breath, that is. I doubt if we will see a case where the left, particularly the vicious anti-American left, will be proven so totally wrong, in so many ways, in such a rapid order. Let us never forget! God bless our troops!
