Hat tip Campus Watch
Cinnamon Stillwell at Campus Watch has put up a great article listing the public comments of many of our well-known radical professors. From trying to blame it on right-wingers (before the culprits were identified) to trying to do tap dances and back flips in explaining how the Brothers Tsarnaev were led away from true Islam, the linked comments reflect wishful thinking, paranoia, denial and in some cases, outright lies.

This is no surprise to the Squid. These feckless antics straight out of the Saul Alinsky playbook, is slowly becoming known to the knower. When low information folks realize that these New-Left, Progressive (read Alinskites) Profs are pushing the "destroy America for the "People", they will stand up and call them out. I would love to monitor some of these classes and verbally eviscerate such slim as Ayers, Dorhn and the rest. Of course, the students are affraid of retaliation through a poor grade or being riped in class, as my daughter experienced when a brave fellow student was told he could not disagree with the Prof.

I read as many of the justifications I could stomach. The one that is among the prize winners is from our own UCI Professor, Mark LeVine, professor of history, University of California, Irvine:
ReplyDeleteWhy do we assume that if a young man is obsessed with extremely violent videos, websites and extreme music that he is psychologically disturbed, but if he's obsessed with religion—not any religion, Islam only it appears—and begins following extremists online and viewing violent videos or reading violent literature that he's become merely a 'radical'—that is, he's made a conscious and 'sane' political decision to attack and murder people in the name of an ideology, and isn't suffering from some kind of mental illness?
As a history professor, he should be aware of Tamerlane,the namesake of one of the Boston bombers, who used terror as a strategy as early as the 15th century.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
"An eye-witness counted more than 28 towers constructed of about 1,500 heads each. This has been described as a "systematic use of terror against towns...an integral element of Tamerlane's strategic element" which he viewed as preventing bloodshed by discouraging resistance."
It seems that LeVine's real occupation is not history professor but rather Muslim propagandist.
LeVine is a strange dude. He seems more interested in playing music with people around the world than anything else.
ReplyDeleteI guess his approach is: The US gov't is bad news. Watch me. I am an example of tolerance. We would all get along if everyone acted like me.
Pass me the Led Zepplin and Public Enemy CDs.
"the linked comments reflect wishful thinking, paranoia, denial and in some cases, outright lies."
ReplyDeleteWell, yes, there seems to be a lot of that going around. Everyone with a cause is trying to spin every event that comes along. Pathetic.
Nicely put Anonymous, with regard to LeVine. With all that you revealed, Levine got his Ph.D., and is a professor at UCI. Go figure?!
