That is the extent of your power, because you choose to define it that way.

I do not.

If enough people cut them off ... and if congressional action starts appearing, Mr. De Genova will be "history" at Columbia.

It was a campus "teach-in" held on campus property. Mr. De Genova does in fact use that same language in his class. Go on the Columbia Spectator site and read all of the comments of his students and his ratings.

That is beside the point. As a mid-level executive at several past companies, I can promise you, my public actions, if they were to anything like this extent, would get me terminated because they reflect on the company.

This man's actions, on school property, at a school function, as someone who ought to have some measure of responsibilty ... should net him the same. I will do all in my power to see to it that they do. ... and if I fail, then I will fail trying.

If you can show where di Genova is allowed to speak as he did on campus property but pro-Americans are not, then I'll concede your point.

As far as what he teaches in his classroom, I'm going by what the young woman who has appeared on TV and radio (and who is one of TWO Columbia students in ROTC--she is going to be a Marine--and who is agitating to have ROTC restored to the Columbia campus from whence it was banished during the 70s) said about di Genova.

She says that in the classroom he is evenhanded and allows all views without penalty.

He is a jerk, a HUGE jerk, and an ingrate. But there are thousands just like him. Do we get all of them fired from their jobs?

This seems to me to be defeating your own purpose.
