The 300 firemen who died on September 11th died in part for their fellow New Yorker Edward Said, though he is too stupid and graceless to understand.
One down, two to go.

Edward Said died? Well that is great news! One less American-hating, anti-semite professor!

He will not be missed. That leaves Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak as the most dismal remaining member of the Columbia English department.

To paraphrase Cicero, we come here today to bury Edward Said, not to praise him. The good that man does lies intered with his bones, the evil they do survives them.
Said's will live on until the Islamofascists are scattered and another threat to civilization has taken their place.

Edward Said was a parasite on the West, one filled with poison for his hosts. He will NOT be missed!
To: Pokey78
Great stuff:
His bestselling Orientalism is a deeply disingenuous work riddled with factual errors and with a selectivity of focus that negates its main claim. But it remains a stunningly successful example of how to parlay western self-loathing into bestseller status.

Edward Said was a truly vile man.
The root problem is the failure of Islamic world, on an economic, political and cultural level. It has been in decline since the 17th Century, while the West rose and prospered immensely.
Said thought Islam could conquer the West through its self loathing intelligentsia and politicians.
The only difference between Said and Bin Laden is the latter thought the conquest of the West had to be achieved through terrorism and conquest.
Given the sad state of decline of the West, Said's approach is more likely to succeed.
