De Genova's Legacy Lives On Through Students
Columbia Spectator Online Messageboard ^ | 4/3/2003 | Leigh Johnson

Posted on 04/03/2003 7:33:54 AM PST by Neckbone

The following is a post from one of Professor De Genova's anthropology students on the Columbia Spectator message board. Read the poison that he's been filling their little pin heads with.

Incidentally, Ms. Johnson can be reached for comment at ltj4@columbia.edu

Prof. De Genova stood in solidarity not with the dictatorship of Iraq, but with oppressed peoples around the world, people like those five year-old children fleeing Nasiriyah who were assassinated by U.S. death squads. People like innocent black men on death row in the U.S. who are denied fair trials. Those who call for Prof. De Genova to go live in Iraq miss the fundamental point that neither Iraq nor America are "free" or just countries. U.S. soldiers have a choice to participate in this unjust desert slaughter, and De Genova courageously encouraged them to say "no". No to empire and no to killing ordinary Iraqis, with whom American enlisted working class men and women have more common interests than they do with the racist tzars who run this country.

"Leigh Johnson Columbia University Student"

When this young skull full of mush finally meets up with the real world she is in for quite a shock. I truly wonder if she is up to the task? I doubt it.

Result- future suicide by OD.

Quick note to mine above: The "Iraqi National Congress" is the chief anti-Saddam pro-US Iraqi exile group operating in the US and UK. They are the ones who know about Saddam the most, and may have differing thoughts about "US oppression" to which student Johnson has alluded.

She says, "U.S. soldiers have a choice to participate in this unjust desert slaughter, and De Genova courageously encouraged them to say "no"."

I see her grasp of how the military works is as strong as all her other thoughts.

De Genova really showed his courage by going into hiding. If he holds these views so strongly, why not defend them? He is the personification of the Liberal tendency to fold under scrutiny.

This mad ranting bears witness to both the depth of degredation that the Halls of Acadmia have fallen to and the nannoscopic range of mentality that many college students possess these days.

Solidarity indeed.

Let us not forget the communists and socialists as species are different only in breed, like poodles and pit bulls, still dogs.

Socialists unleashed are easy to fathom, the Ba'ath Socialists of Iraq.

I made my comment on their message board. I encourage all to do the same --- keep it civil.

Solidarity is a virtue of those with the fortitude of conviction. This insect De Genova has no loyalty, no conviction. He cowers alone.

Your insect analogy brings to mind cockroaches, that scurry all over the kitchen in the dark, and hide when someone shines the light on them.

Cowards all, who project their own faults and hatreds onto those they hate.

He has no convictions that he would stand up for against a real audience. I'd gladly debate him in any environment. Instead he takes his nasty little spoon and stirs the brains of young impressionable youth. He is a coward.

... , but with oppressed peoples around the world ...

Her thought process has been oppressed. Does that mean she qualifies?
