NEW YORK (AP) -- A Columbia University professor told an anti-war gathering that he would like to see "a million Mogadishus" -- referring to the 1993 ambush in Somalia that killed 18 American servicemen.

At Wednesday night's "teach-in" on the Columbia campus, Nicholas De Genova also called for the defeat of U.S. forces in Iraq and said, "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military." And he asserted that Americans who call themselves "patriots" are white supremacists.

Hannity was talking about it on his show earlier. I did e-mail all my favorite talk show hosts (including O'Reilly) about what this guy said if they hadn't already seen it.

Come on, you fabricated that description of his research interests - admit it!

No one could seriously have submitted that pretentious load of mind-numbing drivel as a description of their work!

Let his boss (Anthro Dept. Chair) know -- if the guy makes his boss' life miserable, by causing his phone and e-mail to be tied up for days by irate callers and reporters, his bid for tenure will be dead in the water. Anthro PhDs looking for teaching jobs are a dime a dozen, and the boss' resume doesn't look like he'd be willing to put up with serious hassles to advance this nut's politico-academic career.

Check the link -- his stuff's mild compared to some of what passes for "research" in modern academia.

How 'intolerant'! Burn the b!tch.

The best way to end war and ensure peace is to kill the enemy.
