Festival of Hate

Festival of hate

"A congregation of faithful left-wing fundamentalists descended en masse at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill [last] Monday night, to practice one of their most sacred rituals: spewing hatred for America," Michelle Oswell and Michael Burdei write at Front Page Magazine (www.frontpagemagazine.com).

"'If I were the President I would first apologize to all the widows and orphans, the tortured and the impoverished, and all the millions of other victims of American imperialism. Then I would announce that America's global interventions had come to an end,' preached William Blum, author of 'Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower.'

"'I would then reduce the military budget by at least 90 percent and I would use the savings to pay the reparations to our victims and to increase social services.'

"Nod, nod, nod — clap, clap, clap responded the 700 faculty, students and community members in attendance," the writers said.

"'If one [of the perpetrators] is Osama bin Laden, send the international police for him and pick up Henry Kissinger and Augusto Pinochet on the way home,' declared Catherine Lutz, professor of anthropology.

"This recipe for national suicide received boisterous applause from the crowd, who continued to nod, smile, cough, clap everything but actually think. But none of that mattered at the moment. The crowd obviously liked what they heard," said Miss Oswell, a Ph.D student in Renaissance musicology at UNC, and Mr. Burdei, a political science major at the university and a staff writer for Carolina Review.

"The UNC Progressive Faculty Network sponsored this 'teach-in' on September 17, titled 'Understanding the Attack on America: an Alternative View.' It provided neither an understanding of the attack nor any surprising sentiments from the left: just the same, tired rhetoric that campus leftists have been spouting for years.

"The panelists stepped forward with one anti-American libel after another, almost as if there were a competition among them to see who could hate our country the most."

As Sean Hannity labled them today, "Blame America First Protestors!"

The mind set of these Vile Left Wing Extremists who hate America/Americans and our way of life and our symbol, our flag is no different that the Arab Terrorists who commited mass murder on close to 7,000 Americans and visitors.

The Vile Left Wing Extremists have no concern about the slaughtered/mass murder victims. They just voice their hatred of America, 24/7! Now the rest of America gets to see the reality of these scumbags as they implode daily after 9/11/01! I had rather lock these scumbags up to protect America than any Arab American who believes in America and despises the Arab Terrorism!

I want some of these people to show me the "Millions" of victims of American Imperialism. To my knowledge, the only acts of imperialism that America has partisipated in was the Mexican war of 1846 and the Spanish-American War of 1898. If we are imperialist, then we are either not very good at it, or we are not pushing the issue.

Brit Hume...usually unflappable...warned Sunday on the Beltway Boys that Leftist Academia has actually gone so far as to become Anti-American Academia. Most Freepers seem to be afraid of academia. Most are simply pampered and egocentric shells of real people. Do not fear them as they have neither information nor reason on their side. This , as any generality, holds for the largest majority ,in this case probably 80% and higher.

From a previous post:

GWB to Taliban during his speeech:

"Take a look at a map of Texas. Ever wonder why it's so big? Because we wanted it that way. Especially after the Mexicans jacked us around at the Alamo. Now they cut our lawns".

The world is lucky/unlucky that we don't take the real estate we've conquered.

The Edu-Communists are coming out from under their campus rocks. And there are legions of them! If I were (once again) planning on sending my daughters to college, I'd take a VERY close look at the political leanings of the administration and faculty. It might take a lot of looking, but I would NOT send my kids to some G--damned Communist propaganda center, which is what too many of America's colleges and universities have become.

At risk of repeating myself, it will be far easier to eliminate America-hating terrorists from Afghanistan, than to eliminate the America-hating faculty from our universities.

These leftists delude themseleves into thinking they can take the moral high ground by calling for peace. Actually by applauding what the terrorists did, the leftists are showing the world they are no better than thugs who think any means is justified in moving toward their goals. They are just like the intolerant Taliban and they are too stupid to see that.

Just more BS from the American Target Society - that is, those who want all Americans to become simple targets for whatever radicals are out there. More reason to not support "higher" education in this country.

You are right on target. GW and his alliance will probably eliminate the terrorists before we can remove the America-hating faculties from our universities!

I received my BS in 1960, and it took the Cuban Crisis to wake me up to reality and to what my Dad had warning me about the commy professors as he called them. It they were that entrenched by 1960, we might be best to close all universities and instantly "retire" all of these vile Anti American faculties and then rehire balance people instead of Anti America kooks to teach our young people!

You need to keep repeating your comments/logic on these vile left wingers on a regular basis to help wake up more Americans!

Taxpayers should contact their State Representatives and Senators. It's your money. Make commie professors an issue.

Agree to the posts here. The people should demand to know why the politicians have allowed public universities to become populated with departments full of propagandists for the ideas which history has discarded to the grave President Bush described.

I live in California and even Governor Reagan was not able to blunt these left wingers at Berkley and other left wing viper dens!

I feel that we as citizens have to apply the pressure, get the alums to pull money, identify corporate sponsors to get them to stop donating, and to hammer these deans and presidents as hard as we hammer the Arab Terrorists and their supporters!

With Fascist Davis and his band of socialists/facist in charge of the Kali legislature, a letter to him and them is a waste of time. However, I will find ways to hurt them economically and PR wise!

I'm sure that Freepers who live in the Bush States, that tremendous pressure can be brought on top of these left wing extremists in our univesities. I urge those who live in the Bush States to monitor your universities and to yank the fangs out of their vile Left Wing Extremist Vipers who infest all universities!

If we can just get most Americans to call them and label them Left Wing Extremists, we will have defanged them! They have to have the $'s to live on and spert their venom, if we can find ways to shut off those $'s, we can win or silence them!

Bingo, as soon as they sobered up from whatever their favorite recreational drug was/is, and they realized that they weren't in the WTC. They did two things:

1. Cheered for the Arabic Terrorists and proclaimed them to be heroes like their nightly lackey, Maher did!

2. They then started to organized this massive blame America First campaign. Their butt buds at the ACLU started all of the phoney bs about Arab Bashing and don't violate the civil rights of illegal aliens who want to commit mass murder on innocent Americans!

Now they are in full Anti America and Blame America operation! Their butt buds in Congress are backing them today to delay and try to deter our resolve!

Their hate American rantings are risk free. Until other Americans stand up to the haters on their own turf nothing will change. Why did the students allow the ranting to go unchallenged? Why can't PC and hate speech be turned on them?

AFGHAN AMBASSADOR TO IRAN FOR US MILITARY STRIKES AT TALIBAN TARGETS

Military strikes dealt by the USA at Taliban targets will promote Afghanistan's national interests, said Mohammad Hayerhah to the press on Monday. Mohammad Hayerhah is ambassador of the Islamic State of Afghanistan, which has been recognized by the world community, to Iran.
The ambassador said that the Taliban movement "which was created by Pakistani secret services constitutes a cancerous tumour that should be urgently removed." "Unless a massive attack involving international armed forces is launched against the Taliban, that tumour will produce vast metastases, thereby remaining a threat to other nations," said Mohammad Hayerhah.
The ambassador noted that "the people of Afghanistan are tired of the Taliban yoke and can no longer bear their extremism." That is why, said the Ambassador, we support any internal and external forces that will help us struggle against the enemy and preserve a sovereign and independent Afghanistan. -0 (tol/ant)
