"Anti American lesbian bell hooks" bump.

Gads, what a headline!

I'm speechless.

... she has a trading card . . .

I wish the Brits would HIRE these idiots instead of just collect cards about them.

[ZeitgeistSurfer]

This isn't news. It's just another typical day in the American Educational Gulag.

[Endeavor]

Southwestern has always been a good school - conservative and a solid undergrad school.

I'll bet fund raising goes through the basement after this, as it should.

[genefromjersey]

I don't want to sound picky, but isn't her name Belle Hooks ??

Does she have one of those non-patriarchal New Age/Old Rage uncapitalized and semi-literate names ?

If so, ee cummings beat her to it - in the 1920's.

[SandfleaCSC]

She's probably a nice lady at heart, she just needs a couple of higher gears on her "massage therapy equipment" to help out that attitude problem.

[johniegrad]

Don't be. Simply the next Angela Davis redux.

[185JHP]

I don't know if the fawning stuff about her "degrees" was tongue-in-cheek, or the writer doesn't get around much. It's possible that this "twofer" can't spell "paragraph."

[MHGinTN]

This hate-mongerer should have to live under 'burka' restrictions for a few years, because if she succeeds in disarming the minds of fellow Americans, the Islamofacists will succeed in 'shariaizing' this nation and this loud-mouth homosexual bitterbucket will be silenced! But then, ya'll knew that.

[PatriotBill]

This woman sounds like a worthless piece of human debris, only suitable for fertilizer ingredients!

[JDoutrider]

This hooks creature should team up with Patty Murray for a speaking tour...

[pray4liberty]

Hooks also harshly criticized all aspects of the war on terror, saying specifically that after September 11 many Americans saw for the first time the true need for a peaceful response to violence; however, hooks maintained, our nation's "imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal hunger" soon took over so that we could "show the planet our nation's force."

Some people still don't get it. We were attacked. If we wanted to "show strength" the Moslem world would have been nuked by now. The U.S. has shown remarkable restraint in all this.

Let's send her to Islam so she can teach them "a peaceful response to violence."

[judgeandjury]

Selected because of her "stimulating discussions" in the fall, hooks (who intentionally spells her name without using capital letters)...

This has always irked me. Rules of grammar state that proper names are to be capitalized. What if somebody named Frank Johnson wanted his named spelled fRaNk jOhNsOn or FRaNK JOHnSON? Would the rest of us be obligated to accomodate him just because he wants his name to look different?
