The Dirty Thirty

Too bad they can't all be fired and made to get real jobs. Wonder how they fell about their entires lives being a lie.....
Just more proof that liberals suffer from many mental disorders.
All I can say is "Goodbye Mr. Chips".
I'm underwhelmed by Horowitz's list.
The real rot in academe is the denial of objective truth. Where it Stanley Fish? Where are all the deconstructionists?
Mere leftist activism is less corosive of both freedom and the academic enterprise than the belief or assertion that there is no truth and all that exists are power relationships.
Heh. One of my lecturers was (probably still is) best mates with John Pilger.
To call them dangerous is to overestimate their importance. Call them the ten most ridiculous professors in America.
Most of the Profs..are wimps ..with lifelong Liberal
philosophy and their influence perpetuates the one thing
that hurts this country..more educated, ingnorant, liberal
wimps....they even abhor the Military on campus...Jake
I'd assumed that anti-American-phony-Indian Ward Churchill would make the list, but I see these professors are even worse.
I wonder who Horowitz would have on his list for numbers 11 through 20.
I find it interesting that not one of those teaches at a college in the South (not including Texas.) I went to an SEC college and believe me, this kind of garbage would not fly there. I am sure there are plenty of left-leaning professors at southern colleges, but NOTHING like this.
I was certain I would find his name on this list. I'm surprised that I didn't.
We should work on the abolition of tenure, for starters. Professors should be at-will employees just like anybody else.

Beats publishing crap to get more attention.
How do you propose to go about that. Most colleges are private enterprises.
Mike Medved has Robert Jensen of Texas on yesterday with David. It was a nutter vs reality. The public should read this book but my guess is, no reviews, no acceptance and MSM reviewers will smear David Hor.
Bell Hooks is scary. She's an angry woman who smiles alot. The angrier she gets the wider her smile. I'd hate to be in her class expressing 1 conservative thought. I'd get flunked for sure.
"The day may come when we can do something about them."
Yeah, when we can hang em high for treason.
I am gonna have to get a copy of this book....
>>>Spent most of the 1970s on the run from the FBI. [...] Dohrn teaches law at Northwestern University. Amazing
It would be interesting to know what makes this person so dangerous today. After all, people do change. The author of the article was once a prominent member of the New Left movement in the United States—a break with the earlier Communist Party USA. After moving to California, Horowitz became a well-known Marxist supporter of the various leftist causes of the 1960's and 1970's. He worked for the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation, and authored several books on Marxian interpretations of history, as well as serving as an editor of the radical magazine Ramparts. He also provided legal help to the Black Panthers, and became a confidant of its leader Huey Newton.

Flunking her class would be a badge of honor!
Axis Sally became a US private school teacher after she served time in prison for treason as a Nazi propaganda broadcaster.
Bump! (Vote with your wallets...)
Ward Churchill advocates killing of Military Officers
Churchill: "Fragging an officer has a much more impactful effect"
Ward Churchill has made some more despicable comments. This time, he is advocating military personnel to "roll a grenade under their line officer."
When will this anti-American slime ball be fired?
Churchill: "For those of you who do, as a matter of principle, oppose war in any form, the idea of supporting a conscientious objector who's already been inducted in his combat service in Iraq might have a certain appeal.
But let me ask you this: Would you render the same level of support to someone who hadn't conscientiously objected, but rather instead rolled a grenade under their line officer in order to neutralize the combat capacity of their unit?"
"...Conscientious objection removes a given piece of cannon fodder from the fray. Fragging an officer has a much more impactful effect." - Ward Churchill, Portland, Oregon- 6/23/05

I don't have a list in front of me, but we've got our share of idiots down here, too.
Unreal.
11. Noam Chomsky
12. Mr. Fake Everything, Ward Churchill
13. Peter Singer
14. Nicholas DeGenova (who wants "a million Mogadishus" to happen to American troops)

Horowitz was on Hannity two nights ago denouncing Ward Churchill.
I'm impressed that he was able to narrow this list to 10; when there are hundreds more equally qualified.
New Ward Churchill Art Discovered ..."Fake but Accurate"...
I bet these guys are all tenured. :)
"The comments he made were very very damaging and very hurtful," Giuliani told a crowd of about 2,000 at the Coors Events Center.
"I think the remarks were extremely cruel," he told reporters...
"He inflicted a tremendous amount of pain on these families."
Giuliani compared Churchill being on CU's faculty to having a geography teacher who believed the world is flat.
"He's entitled to that opinion, but you don't want him to be teaching geography, do you," Giuliani said.
Dave-
could you please tell me what happened to California Lt. Governor Bustamonte? Advocates the violent overthrow of the US Govt.
>Giuliani compared Churchill being on CU's faculty to having a geography teacher who believed the world is flat.
"He's entitled to that opinion, but you don't want him to be teaching geography, do you," Giuliani said. <
LOL on that!
I've said it before. Most of the deranged leftists of my generation were incapable of leaving the universities. So they stayed and have made it their mission to indoctrinate your kids.
bump
Yep. Like these clowns could organize a conspiracy to vandalize the local DMV office, much less threaten the nation.
Has anyone here ever seen the film "Storytelling"? It is a Brutal assault on PC:
That Baraka guy remind sme of one of the characters.
On September 11, 2001, Ayers and Dohrn were to be feted at the Chicago Cultural Center.
Master of ceremonies was to have been Studs Terkel.
The event was postponed and took place quietly a few weeks later.
On August 20th, Kathy Boudin, a former member of the Weather Underground who was sentenced to twenty years to life in prison for her part in an armored-car robbery in which three men were killed, was granted parole, over the protests of the victims' families. In this Profile from 2001, Elizabeth Kolbert examines Boudin's life as a radical and its consequences.
Actually, the carving fork was not in Sharon Tate's stomach, but in Leno LaBianca's.
He's probably pretty angry that Horowitz didn't include him. ;)
A third -- Tom Hayden -- is just a has-been relic of the Summer of Love, a threadbare hippie who doesn't understand that Woodstock is over. I don't know that he is particularly dangerous, although he is an embarrassment, like a weird uncle with Tourette's.
