| Academic Freedom? [Michael Rubin] |
| 2007-10-26 |
| Yesterday, the University of Delaware asked Asaf Romirowsky to step down from an academic panel at the University of Delaware because another panelist, University of Delaware political scientist Muqtedar Khan, didn't want to share the podium with anyone who served in the Israeli Defense Forces. Romirowsky, who holds joint American/Israeli citizenship and lives in Philadelphia, had been invited to join Khan, his colleague in political science, Stuart Kaufman, a staff member of the National Security Council during the Clinton administration, and a graduate student to discuss anti-Americanism in the Middle East. The program was organized by the College Republicans, the College Democrats, and the Students of Western Civilization Club. The Leadership Institute provided the funds for the panel, which met on the University of Delaware campus on Wednesday evening. The students offered Romirowsky the opportunity to come to campus next week and speak alone, with no other panel members who might object to his presence. Large of them |

| #7 Anheuser-Busch did an excellent commercial on this theme a couple of years ago for the Super Bowl. At least at the party I was attending it was very well received. Nice to hear the sentiment still survives, despite all the political and media attempts to destroy it. |

| #6 University of Delaware = leftist weasels Academic freedom is not tyranny dictated from the left. The left promotes tyranny not freedom. These damned elitists would like to run all of our lives. Hillary is one of these lefist elitists. |

| #5 I don't want to call them antisemtic: some rabidly antisemitic Poles who were memebers of a party who wanted all Jews expelled from Poland risked their lives to save Jews from the gas chambers. I don't want to soil those antisemitic Poles by giving them the same name than thoise pieces of sh..t That is whay I call the so called "anti-Zionist" nazis: you will never see militing for any suffering people (the real suffering people not the West taw-payer's fed Palestinians). You will never see them protesting aaginst any real genocider. Their compassion goes only to those who want exterminate Jews. So until I find a more offesive term I call them Nazis. But very special Nazis: those who are too coward to werar the swastika: ie still more repugnant than teh normal variety. |

| #4 Nazi = national socialist. I don't think these are Nazis cause they don't support the concept of 'national'. They're internationalist, therefore much closer to neo-marxist or neo-communists, international socialists. It's all about timing. McCarthy* was just a two bit demagogue exploiting a reality, the infiltration of our society by these parasites. * not to be confused with Senator Reid who uses the same methodology but exploits beliefs rather than reality. |

| #3 share the podium with anyone who served in the Israeli Defense Forces But he would have no problem in sharing podium with a Janjaweed, a Khmer Rouge, a member of the Interamwhe (member of the Hutu genocidiacl militas), a baby killing Palestinian or with Ahmedinajad. What is this Nazi doing in America or more exactly how is that Nazis have taken over the University of Delaware? |

| #1 And all these leftists have no clue they are enacting the same policies as the Nazis. It ain't breaking Godwin's Law if it is true. |
