Embattled DePaul professor Finkelstein agrees to resign

Chicago Sun Times ^ | Sept. 5, 2007 | Don Babwin

[Alouette]

A DePaul University professor who has drawn criticism for accusing some Jews of improperly using the legacy of the Holocaust agreed Wednesday to resign immediately ''for everybody's sake.''

University officials and political science professor Norman Finkelstein issued a joint statement announcing the resignation, which came as about a hundred protesters gathered outside the dean's office to support him.

Finkelstein was denied tenure in June after spending six years on DePaul's faculty, and his remaining class was cut by DePaul last month.

Another one bites the dust.

A DePaul University professor who has drawn criticism for accusing some Jews of improperly using the legacy of the Holocaust agreed Wednesday to resign immediately ''for everybody's sake.''

And yet professors who call for jihad keep their jobs. Go figure.

Actually he is a darling of the Holocaust deniers and the Professors-Who-Call-For-Jihad. This is definitely a small step for sanity.

[wideawake]

Again, apart from his venomous and slanderous hatred of his own ethnic group, he is simply not possessed of the technical qualifications for the job he was seeking.

How can someone be a professor of modern German history and not be able to read German?

How can someone claim to be an academic authority on the Israel-Palestinian conflict and be unable to read Modern Hebrew or Arabic?

[wideawake]

And yet professors who call for jihad keep their jobs. Go figure.

Unlike Finkelstein, those professor may actually be qualified in their fields.

Good riddance to neo-Nazi Normie.

And I'm sure that Klansmen who voted went overwhelmingly for Bush. Does that say anything negative about Bush?

What point are you trying to make here?

That it's dangerous to draw negative conclusions about a person based on his being supported by odious persons. I think they call it "guilt by association."

[ari-freedom]

I’m sure Robert Byrd didn’t vote for Bush

[wideawake]

And I'm sure that Klansmen who voted went overwhelmingly for Bush.

I'm not sure of that at all, considering that Stormfront and other Klan-friendly sites are blistering with BDS.

Does that say anything negative about Bush?

If President Bush welcomed them as friends, boasted of their support and praised their opinions, it would.

Norman Finkelstein follows that path.

[techcor]

And I'm sure that Klansmen who voted went overwhelmingly for Bush.

Then you belong with the moonbats. Sen. Byrd's buddies overwhelmingly protest with the liberals against the war. They think Pres. Bush is controlled by the Jews.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Robert Byrd voted for President Bush?

[darkangel82]

The KKK were always 100% Democrat. Don’t put them in with us.

[Alouette]

it's dangerous to draw negative conclusions about a person based on his being supported by odious persons. I think they call it "guilt by association."

So why does Finkelstein enjoy being around these guys? Why does he go to all their parties? Why doesn't he choose other friends?

[DesScorp]

This guy should be sent to the Palestinian territories. Lets see how much Hamas loves him.

[Madeleine Ward]

Only a Narcissistic Academic would characterize student support for HIM as ‘spiritual,’ being the center of his own universe.

[Convert from ECUSA]

Bye, bye Finkie! Don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord split you!

[Madeleine Ward]

I wonder if Finkelstein is going to write a book about the labling people as racists or bigots because they criticize a minority? I doubt it.

[Bahbah]

Some good news.

[Murray the R]

Norman Finkelstein follows that path.

Source?

[Murray the R]

The KKK were always 100% Democrat.

As was the South once upon a time. Times change.

[Murray the R]

So why does Finkelstein enjoy being around these guys? Why does he go to all their parties?

Where is the evidence that he enjoys being around these guys and goes to all their parties?

[Murray the R]

They think Pres. Bush is controlled by the Jews.

So you think they voted for Gore and Kerry?

[steve8714]

That he is a troll.

[Murray the R]

No, as I said, that it's dangerous to draw negative conclusions about a person based on his being supported by odious persons. I think they call it "guilt by association."

Now all you need is a verb and an object, and you'll have actually engaged in communication.

I got your evidence right here ZOTbait.

sniff

OK, I'm over it.

[SampleMan]

Idiot. Didn’t he get the memo from the University that only Christians are completely fair game?

[Murray the R]

No Holocaust denial there ... and while what he says about Israel and Hezbollah is lunacy, I heard no call for jihad.

[Diplomat]

And the evidence that the klan voted overwhelmingly for Bush comes from where exactly? I suspect they voted mostly rat with the rest of the racists and bigots.

[dangus]

>> And I’m sure that Klansmen who voted went overwhelmingly for Bush. Does that say anything negative about Bush? <<

I’m not. The Klan was the core of the Democratic Party in the deep south. If the Democratic Party became so horrible for the Klan, I’m sure they’d quit voting or vote for some crackpot 3rd party before voting for the party of Lincoln. And there’s a big difference between chosing someone as the lesser of two evils (which is what any such Bush-voting Klansman must consider Bush), and embracing someone as your standard-bearer and hero.

[Murray the R]

Where is the evidence that anyone embraces Finkelstein as their standard-bearer and hero?

[dangus]

Well, if you hadn’t meant to accept Allouette’s supposition, maybe you should’ve fought on those grounds, instead of the inane and patently false assertion that the KKK supported Bush.

[steve8714]

......LaRouche...
There, is that any more precise?

[Zionist Conspirator]

Now if only all the rest of them would “bite the dust” as well.

[montag813]

I have never understood why some Jew didn’t taken Finkelstein’s life years ago. It is shameful, really, that no one has.

[Murray the R]

The KKK may be anti-war, but they're also anti-gay-'marriage'.

[Alouette]

Roe v. Wade was not passed until after Norman was born, so his mother didn’t have a choice.

[Murray the R]

Does the KKK's opposition to gay 'marriage' (link just above) imply anything negative about other opponents of gay 'marriage'?

[dangus]

No, but that’s INCIDENTAL agreement, not CAUSAL agreement. The neonazis love Finkelstein BECAUSE of what he writes about Jews; it’s evidence of how hate-filled Finkelstein’s writings are. The KKK and conservative Massachusetts voters both dislike gay marriage, but that’s just incidental to both groups.

[Murray the R]

Assumes facts not in evidence.

In the former case you claim that bad people's support for position X proves the badness of position X, yet in the latter case you deny it. Tossing around terminology doesn't erase that contradiction.

[therut]

Yes. A good idea. He is an awful person.

[therut]

And do not forget that jew basher and American traitor Carter endorsed his book. Yep he did.
