De Genova's Legacy Lives On Through Students

Columbia Spectator Online Messageboard ^ | 4/3/2003 | Leigh Johnson

[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.

Whatever they charge for tuition, were I a parent of one of their students I would be suing for a refund!!!!

" Stained glass out of glass coloured of Fabian Society, produced on the initiative of the writer George Bernard Shaw, eminent member of Fabian. One sees it with work with another character of first plan, Sidney Webb - founder member of Fabian Society (and founder in London of " London School of Economics " [ Marxist ] which since 1894 contributes to provide to the British Establishment its top executives) - while with the assistance of robust masses it works to reforge the world according to the legend which appears in top of the window: " remoult it nearer to the hearts desire ".

The followers of lower degree are represented knelt in bottom, in worship in front of a pile of books of socialist propaganda which one manages with difficulty to decipher some titles : " Fabian Tracs and Essays " (Opuscules fabiens et essais), " Industrial Democracy " (Dimocratie industrielle), " History of Trade Unions " (His- toire des Trade Unions, les syndicats anglais), English Social Government (Gouverne- ment social anglais), etc. The inscriptions on the ecu towards the center of the stained glass, a little on the left make a synthesis between the two scenes '.

"PRAY DEVOUTLY , reads one above, while below one encourages: HAMMER STOUTLY " Between the two blacksmiths one sees the badge of Fabian Society where is represented a crawling wolf, the back covered with a skin of lamb, to testify to aggressiveness, decision and dissimulation of the initiates, as the words of Amold Toynbee attest it, disciple of John Ruskin in Oxford, member of the Round Table and Fabian Society, when it proclaimed:

"... we must constantly deny with the lips what we did with the hand ".

After dumping all that cash on tuition, can you imagine your little girl coming home a communist?

the fundamental point that neither Iraq nor America are "free" or just countries

What a damn fool and blathering useful idiot.

Try making those same comments in Iraq you idiot, then you'll see the difference.

I couldn't have said it better myself

Cleaning out the universities will be a Herculean task, like that of the cleaning of the Augean stables.

[dirtboy]

All that tuition money for a Columbia education, and the net result is a twit spouting vintange sixties nonsense.

[Neckbone]

Try making those same comments in Iraq you idiot, then you'll see the difference.

I'm sure she envisions a utopia where in all actuality there is a torture chamber

[dirtboy]

It never ceases to amaze me how they can, with a straight face, claim to a CNN reporter that they are being censored. But, then again, to the liberal wingnuts it is essential for their self-image that they are being oppressed to give them all solidarity - solidarity in effect meaning we have a gripe therefore we don't need no stinkin' facts...

[Neckbone]

Ah, but with that overpriced anthropology degree at least she'll be an unemployed twit!

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

I'd do a Taurus Bulba on her.

" I brought you into this world, and I shall take you out of it!"

[Neckbone]

Self-image defined by victimization. What a cheerful existence! This is what becomes of the ugly girls who don't get laid in highschool.

Like she walked out of a Jan Ian song ferchrissake.

"To the Iraqi National Congress:

Congratulations on the spirit of endurance and hope your people are showing as the moment of their liberation approaches rapidly.

The great majority of Americans support your country's liberation from under the boot of terrible terrorist dictatorship.

Unfortunatly, not all Americans think this way. A few of them even seek to impede and prevent the impending day of the Iraqi's liberation.

One such American is Ms. Leigh Johnson, of Columbia University. Here is the recent message released by this student. The student's e mail is also as follows, for your information: ltj4@columbia.edu

My best wishes for the liberation of your country. Know that a vast majority of Americans disagree with the student's comments and that we believe the many statements and anecdotes about the horror of Saddam Hussein's regime, which is enjoying it's final, dying gasps before the fresh air of freedom blankets your land."

"" I brought you into this world, and I shall take you out of it!" "

I thought that that was one of the threats that Bill Cosby's father used to tell him when he was a child ...

("I was young as a child" and "The Belt", by Bill Cosby)

[lelio]

but with oppressed peoples around the world...
Interesting that she only mentions people "oppressed" by the US. What about the Iraqi people?
I'll go out on a limb and say Leigh Johnson is also a gun grabber. Why these people can say that our government is all evil, but then want these 'fascists' to take away guns for your safety is beyond me.

[Jeff Head]

They are ignorant of history and devoid of common sense.

People like De Genova, and earlier liberal teachers and parents, have groomed people like this individual to be fodder, just like the Fayedeen are for Saddam.

... and their ultimate defeat is just as sure as what we are seeing in Iraq. In the end, like De Genova, when the going gets a little tough, 99.99% of these type of people (unlike some of the Fayedeen) will simply cut and run because their foundation is nothing more than liquid quick silver, unfit for anything to stand upon either in the reality of life or through the test of time.

But, whether they cut and run, or stand and fight, their defeat will be just as sure in the light of truth, real liberty, justice, indepedence, self-reliance, morality and all of the other foundational components of the American way.

Ah, but with that overpriced anthropology degree at least she'll be an unemployed twit!
If only that were true. I'm sure she'll get a job at a state college and we'll all be paying for her nonsense.
Come to think of it, what's the difference with her going to a private college like Columbia? How many government contracts does that university have? Minus well be called a state college.

Yul Brynner as Taurus Bulba the Chief of the Cossacks. He finds his son in Polish Armor at the battle of Warsaw, thinks he has been betrayed and shoots the kid. (Tony Curtiss?)

Well, it seems we are off to a start, with DeGenerate and his wife gone into hiding.
