I got this email about yet another college professor shooting himself in the foot. After the vigorous discussion about the Marine General's comments to reporters, I'm sure VC and a few others are interested in condemning these words also.
Quote:
The University of Louisville suspended Dr. John McTighe after a campus conservative newspaper quoted the sociology professor saying people should buy guns and shoot "religious zealots" who support President Bush.
Louisville Patriot publisher Brian Yates quoted McTighe saying, "It was the religious zealots who say they were voting on morals. I think we should all buy AK47's and shoot them all."
"We"re encouraged by this victory for academic balance and freedom," said Yates. "One reason we started the Patriot was to fight left-wing bias in our classrooms. The University cannot allow professors to turn their lecterns into soapboxes."
The Louisville Patriot started with a Balance in Media Grant from the Leadership Institute"s Campus Leadership Program (CLP). CLP helps students start and maintain independent campus conservative groups and publications.
"Why did Professor McTighe feel comfortable fantasizing about shooting Christian voters in front of his class? Perhaps because the University of Louisville is a one-party campus," said Daniel Flynn, Director of the Campus Leadership Program. "Federal Election Commission reports show University of Louisville employees gave nearly $7,000 to John Kerry"s campaign but nothing to George W. Bush"s reelection efforts."
"Despite "diversity" and "tolerance" becoming campus mantras, schools like Louisville can be dens of political conformity and intolerance," said Flynn.
Back in 1967, when I was personally organizing college students all across Kentucky for the gubernatorial campaign of Louie B. Nunn, the then president of the University of Louisville showed his hostility to conservative students active there by threatening some with expulsion. Perhaps the fate of Professor McTighe is an early sign of good sense dawning on American college campuses.
Last fall, Leadership Institute staff started more than 200 new campus organizations and newspapers like the Louisville Patriot. Any student who wants to fight biased professors, administrators, and guest speakers can contact CLP online at www.campusleadership.org.
The Leadership Institute continues to make excellent progress toward identifying, recruiting and training conservative students due to the generous support of LI friends and supporters.
Thank you for helping the Institute.
Please pass the word to conservative students you know. They should contact LI for help in organizing independent conservative student groups on their campus.
Maybe I'm just a sociopath, but if this guy wants a war, I'm ready to go. Heck, I'm not even a religious zealot, but I'd enjoy shooting leftwing nuts running around with communist weaponry.
Why is this incident treated with so much less concern than the Marine general? where's the news media jumping on this bandwagon? Where is the psychoanalysis of this person from erudite board members?

Only by the media. Because the media in general is anti-military, right or wrong they simply hate the military. They have their priorities shoved so far up their collective chuckers that they don't even know "what" about the military they don't like.
I don't like the graft and corruption of the contractors - but that has NOTHING to do with the individual soldiers. The media on the other hand sounds like a bunch of drunken college girls at a George Webb at 2AM trying to sound intelligent.
