"Leftist professors will be strung up."
"Leftist professors will be strung up." (Ok, but remember, turnabout is fair play.) Hurricane Reality vs. Right-Wing Ideology By Joshua Holland 08 Sep 2005 "Further on the fringe, blogger Michael Calderon (a teacher at Rockville High School, Rockville, MD) at David Horowitz's Frontpage Magazine saw in Katrina the potential for a civil war following a major terror attack in the U.S. and envisioned a Hobbesian war of all against all, predicting... 'Expect heavily armed and infuriated conservatives to launch a cleansing war against the traitors. The armed will mow down the mostly unarmed segments ...'", especially those elements that devoted 40-plus years to anti-American hatred to destroy this country. Should the likes of Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Michael Moore, Ward Churchill, Dennis Raimondo , et al. act out their sedition ... expect their bodies to be found shot full of holes ... Leftist professors will be strung up ...'" (Hey, Calderon: mayhaps the 'unarmed segments' won't remain 'unarmed' for long. --Lori Price, best friend of a 'Leftist Professor.')

3. They just can't hide their Nazi rhetoric for long, can they?
I wonder if the administration at Rockville HS approve of Calderon's hate speech and threats? I certainly don't, since I am a lefty professor myself.

at Rockville HS about this freak.

4. LMAO. We're seeing how repulsed the right-wing is by war.
That is, one they have to fight in. The Army alone missed its annual recruiting quota by about 10,000 recruits. These right-wing nuts talk tough, but go crying to mommy with anal cysts when they face danger.

Lefties know what we are fighting for and know it is worth it. Any showdown with these assholes will result in us kicking their asses.

I'm an infantry vet with ten years of service. If Billy Bob and Cletis try to come string up professors anywhere near me, they will get their asses blown apart.

7. Please somebody tell me
why these people claim to "love their country." I want to know what it is they claim to love, because all I see are the things that I love about this country disappearing.

14. This moron couldn't blow his nose without directions
You just know this is some mouth-breathing, yapping, hate radio sucking Neo-Conazi wannabe.

He does give a real insight to the violent, sociopathic mind of these cretins, though. Forget the guns, THEY need to be rounded up and committed for perpetuity.

For the record I am a historian by training and hold an MA in History from *****. There was a time when words like these words were written and spoken. It was another country and another time. The Journal where these appeared was called Der Sturmer, and the place was 1930s and 1940s Germany. You may want to take appropriate actions, but if this is the kind of teacher teaching at your school, I will definitely stay away from your school.



Sincerely,

20. Four years ago I'd have...
Edited on Sun Sep-11-05 11:25 PM by Mr_Jefferson_24
...said the man's a nut case. Today I only hope he's wrong. I've been stunned by the depths of Bushco's callous cruelty too many times to simply dismiss Calderon's rhetoric. If the Bushco regime ever begins to feel threatened by domestic political opposition, (I mean really seriously threatened) I just can't imagine them hesitating to become brutal with ordinary citizens who challenge their authority. Bushco's got a plan for world domination (courtesy of PNAC). This, I believe, is their model:

22. The rise in this kind of talk has disturbed me deeply.
There is a concrete and tangible difference between the exercise of free speech and the threat of violence. The right-wing groups have been crossing the line in a way that has come across to me as a threat to me personally, though I don't fit the description of their targets (perhaps I'm left-wing, though I view myself as centrist, but I'm not a professor or an intellectual). It seems as though these are open endorsements for violence against people for their political affiliations or beliefs.

Pat Robertson's call for Hugo Chavez' assassination is another instance of this which is similarly deeply disturbing. A literal death threat has been broadcast on national TV with no observable legal consequences.

I would be willing to financially contribute, despite my meager means, to legal efforts to prosecute those who make these kinds of death threats. I think there need to be more legal challenges to these threats of violence, and I'd be willing to vote with my wallet for such.

24. Scary, just plain damned frightening in the scope and degree and level of
hate. What has happened, what have "we" allowed to let happen? My heart breaks again.

Damn.

25. I think the idea that leftists aren't armed is a fallacy.
Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 03:58 AM by stevietheman
There's some kind of assumption going on that because those on the left are nonviolent that they also don't own firearms for protection. I think the right would be surprised at how well their enemies (us) are armed.
