#1 Bloody hell... the URL didn't work for me. Hopefully the following will do the trick.

#2 I suurender. Here's the URL: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,83002,00.html

Obviously, I'm blog-challenged :-(

#3 Hmmmm... a million Mogasidhus? I think the kill ratio was 100 to 1, American. Is that what he wanted?

#4 if he's really getting death threats he should turn them in to the police for prosecution...I suspect it's not true.
But first, of course, he should sit down and think long and hard about why these people hate him, right? I mean, he should understand that real Americans have a different culture than his academic elites, and he should be sensitive to their cultural needs (/sarcasm off)

#5 Typical lefty. When the going gets tough, they get lost. Maggot.

#6 Hurumph. I seem to recall that the Founders didn't raise much of a din when tens of thousands of British crown loyalist were driven from the newly minted United States of America to Canada and other locations throughout the British Empire. Technically, a violation of the Treaty of Paris. Sad that they gave up that old past time of tar and feathering. Really, we need to start balancing the flow of people coming in with a flow of people leaving. This loser will fit right in at Havana or Pyonyang U.

#7 I doubt he's getting death threats, but there are some wackos on the right as well as the left.

The sad part is that he won't get fired from Columbia. I'm an academic, and I can tell you that when he comes up for tenure review this whole flap won't matter. No one will bring it up in the promotions committee meeting, and anyone who does will be shouted down with all the usual pious crap about academic freedom and free speech.

What will matter to that committee will be his publications and teaching record. Apparently he spends a lot of time ~~blabbering~~ talking about politics and the war in his classroom rather than his subject matter (Latino History). Naturally this will endear him to the promotions committee. I'm going to have to hit the citations index to see if he's publishing. I'm betting he's writing the usual bone-head crap.

#8 If true, it will give him a taste of how the Iraqi's have felt for the last 20 years.

And if he does get tenure, he'll have to endure a "little snot" in every future class throwing this in his face. The relentless humiliation will make his life slow water-torture, drip, drip, drip.
