Another Ward Churchill
Here’s another radical college professor spewing bilge into the minds of our young people. Writing on the left-wing crypto-communist History News Network, James C. Cobb sneers at the concerns of a hapless young Republican forced to listen to his America-hating propaganda:
After 34 years of college teaching, I thought I had heard just about every imaginable student complaint. Last week, however, a freshman in my 300-seat US History Since 1865 course came in to discuss her exam with one of the graders and proceeded to work herself into a semi-hissy over the fact that we had spent four class periods (one of them consisting of a visit from Taylor Branch) discussing the civil rights movement.
“I don’t know where he’s getting all of this,” she complained, “we never discussed any of this in high school.” One might have let the matter rest here as simply an example of a high school history teacher’s sins of omission being visited on the hapless old history prof. had the student not informed the TA in an indignant postscript, “I’m not a Democrat! I don’t think I should have to listen to this stuff!”
Mr. Cobb — excuse me, Dr. Cobb — obviously finds this terribly amusing. The student in question is, of course, absolutely right: the reason she didn’t learn about the so-called civil rights movement in high school is because, as David Horowitz has noted, institutional racism is a “fantasy of the left.” The real history, as all Republicans know, is that in the 60s some uppity Negroes, led by Martin Luther King, began lobbying for government handouts so they wouldn’t have to get off their lazy butts and actually work. Then they used their national megaphone to criticize this country’s brave, patriotic soldiers who were fighting and dying in Southeast Asia so people like “Dr.” King could live in freedom and peace.
But do you think that’s the history Dr. Cobb is going to teach? Hardly! Our campuses are full of washed-up brain-dead morally bankrupt leftists like Cobb whose rabid anti-Americanism renders them incapable of functioning in the real world, so they hide in their ivory towers and lob fetid spitballs of treason at the hapless students trapped in their classes. If we’d killed all these people back in the 70s, instead of letting them get Ph.D.s, jobs, and tenure, we wouldn’t have this problem.
Fortunately David Horowitz is committed to exposing these traitors and shining the spotlight of truth on the leftist network that supports them. I don’t see Cobb listed yet on the network, but I’m writing to Horowitz today so he can be added.

No prior knowledge is required to procreate or vote. There is no test to determine if a person understands the issues involved or the potential consequences of a bad choice.
It’s easier to say “It’s Ok, GOD is in control. Let’s go shopping”.
We didn’t get to the top of the food chain by organizing polite societies and living peacefully within their rules. We got here by killing and eating everything that got in our way. People like to think they are accomplishing something but all they are really doing is wasting time until they die and stealing my oxygen.

Alon Levy says:
Paul, if someone spends his life killing people, or working to reduce birth rates, or poaching elephants, or planting trees, is he still stealing your oxygen?

Violet says:
Hey, Will, it’s nice to see you again.
Paul, I’m having trouble figuring out exactly how your comment is intended to relate to the post. Am I taking up your oxygen?
-
Paul Tergeist says:
I am sick today. It’s like the flu but without a sore throat and it is most likely caused by a lack of oxygen in the atmosphere. I do not accept responsibility for anything I write today, so mote it be.
-
Paul Tergeist says:
to 3: It depends. In the first three cases it’s OK so long as there is a measurable net increase in oxygen to me. People who plant trees are ecoterrorists since it was revealed that plants release methane [Nature 439, 187-191, 12 January 2006]. The only solution is the immediate slash-and-burn farming of all rainforests.

As one of the washed-up brain-dead morally bankrupt leftists that Horowitz has his sights on, I welcome Dr Cobb to the club. I am hoping to convince the dangerous 100 to all wear the same leather jacket with a logo on it so more people will realize how badass we are. We’re corrupting your sons and daughters. (Often at the same time.)

I shall restate it. America, under the effective leadership of Jesus incarnate, has effectively foiled the plans of pinko commies like Jim Cobb and Timothy “Che” Shortell by advancing the same ‘live and don’t learn’ agenda which has always served me so well. As long as Brittany, Jessica and Madonna don’t need to know, neither does anyone else.
Who cares what happened in 1865 or 1965? That’s like A LONG TIME AGO, DUDE! Is it mere coincidence that Martin Luther King was named for Lex Luthor?

Dr. Shortell, I’m not one of the dangerous (or is that dangeral?) 100, but I do have the black leather jacket. And several notches on my lipstick case representing brain-dead morally bankrupt leftist professors.
When the Dangeral 100 rumble, look out!

Brother Joseph Temperance says:
While I take little or no interest in the affairs of heathen liberals, does it not seem slightly more logical to convince the dangerous 100 to wear 100 different leather jackets with the same logo on? Trying to get 100 people to all wear the same leather jacket would appear to pose serious logistical problems.

Pastor Pistle says:
By all that is Holy, Temperance! YOU! HERE?!?!? Be careful that you are not caught up in the nonsense these homers espouse!

Brother Joseph Temperance says:
I’ve been trying to find out what happened to our normal Godly forums. Thus far, all I’ve been able to find is this site and a cache of disgusting homer pornography compiled by a deviant who by some strange coincidence has the same name as Brother V. What did happen to Landover?
-
Pastor Pistle says:
It is alive, Thank GOD! Praise, Brother, with the help of JESUS it will be back online in a heartbeat.
You see, we tried to knock THIS and several other radical sites offline, but someone at the Department of Faith misunderstood and pulled the wrong plug. We are sending the guilty party to a barbeque and duck-shoot with the GODLY Vice-President.
PRAISE JESUS, this homeric site will be gone soon!

Paul Tergeist says:
11,12,13,14. GET OUT OF THIS BLOG! Have you no shame? This ain’t the Michelle Malkin Hollywood chatline.
-
Brother Joseph Temperance says:
Ah, I see. I assumed that God had prevented me from being able to access the site as a punishment for not tithing enough, and behaved accordingly. Now I now it’s just a temporary problem, I shall make a love offering to thank the Lord for His mercy.
Paul, I was merely attempting to start a reasoned discussion of how to fit 100 communists into one leather jacket. Do you have anything constructive to add to this?
-
Paul Tergeist says:
Constructive? ME? Good heavens, no.
But I can explain Shortell. OK, I can’t. But I can explain the 100 jackets thing. Now, suppose I am your doctor and told you to get plenty of rest and take one of these tablets three days running and then skip a day, you might misunderstand. I would need to explain that I don’t mean for you to take the SAME pill during your running and skipping. Unless it is one of those ‘multivitamins’ that never dissolve. Then I suppose it would be possible. But anyway, Tim merely meant that they should pass the jacket around and a different person could wear it each day. Not the SAME day of course, but a different day. And each person would have an identical patch. Or maybe, to save money, they could all use the same patch. It hardly matters to this discussion, so let’s drop the patch. Of course I don’t mean drop it on the ground, I mean we can decide later.
-
Infidel says:
You could use velcro. Also it would be clever to have on the patch several small LEDs- that way you could start calling the proffessors “The Coherent Illuninaties”
-
Timothy Shortell says:
OK, you’ve forced me to admit this. We only need one jacket because there is only one of us. We use 100 different assumed names. You ever wonder why we’re never all in the same place?
(Though there are six of us at the City University of New York, which is, one might say, a Berkeleyesque number. Score one for urban public higher education.)

You’re one of America’s 100 most dangerous professors? Wow, I’m honored to talk to you… Keep on the good work, analyzing social movements and getting under Horowitz’s skin.

gordo says:
I’ve always been amazed by the amount of traction Horowitz gets when he pretends that our universities are places where only commies are allowed to teach. Just take a look at all the wingnut websites that are maintained by college professors.
The year after “Illiberal Education” was published, a group of students at my university performed a dance routine during halftime at a basketball game. They lip-synched a hip-hop song while they danced.
They wore blackface, and nobody on the faculty or in the administration batted an eye. Most of the students thought it was the funniest thing they’d ever seen.
I remember thinking that most of the people in that crowd would soon be buying into the myth that political correctness rules college campuses.
