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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

I don’t think I’ll ever see or hear that surname again without hearing Strother Martin yelling at Tommy Chong about shipping him off to military school with the “***damn Finkelstein **** kid!”
