My Message to Columbia Professor Nicholas De Genova regardin his death wish for our forces

FreeRepublic | March 29, 2003 | Jeff Head

[Jeff Head]

The following is my email to Professor Nicholas De Genova of Columbia University who was quoted in the New York Post as wishing a "million Mogadishus" on American servicement in Iraq at an anti-war rally.

This was reported on FreeRepublic on this thread, Columbia Prof wishes death to GIs.

Here's my email to him:

Nicholas De Genova,

Your call for the US Military to suffer a "million Mogadishus" has crossed a serious line on civility and duty and commitment to our nation.

You are wishing for the death of 18,000,000 of your fellow countrymen and women, individuals who are fighting for your ability to make your crass statements about their well being.

Are you familiar with the term "useful idiot"? If you are not, I suggest that your read your history regarding the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Note the ultimate outcome to the "useful idiots" employed by the Bolsheviks. If you get your way, and these tyrants are victorious, those very people you support with your comments would have no compunction about doing the same to you and your ilk, while the very people you deride are dedicated to your life and liberty. Perhaps you should think about that.

In addition, you are self defeating in your own comments. You clearly have no concept of history, even recent history. Something between 2,000 and 10,000 Somalis were killed in that Mogadishu battle. Your wish for 18,000,000 American dead would result in between 2,000,000,000 and 10,000,000,000 Iraqi dead ... in other words, a complete depopulation of that country. With such a statement, and such a wish, you reveal your true genocidical nature.

Individuals like you are what is wrong with the world today. You are so transparent and so ignorant of history that it would be laughable, if your policies were not so dangerous. All I can say to you are the words that Samuel Adams said to similar defeatists and traitorous thinkers to the original American cause:

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom...go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels nor arms. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."- Samuel Adams

Without and ounce of respect,

I was filled with anger, resentment and outrage when I read this. I could not help but write this indiviual and explain my feelings about what he said and about him.

We must all keep the faith. This is a monumental struggle against the forces arrayed against our liberty, both here and abroad. It was bound to come to this sooner or later and we must all stand strong for liberty and its foundational principles now.

Traitors like this man are the greater threat to us all in the end ... because their actions would lead us completely open to the animals like HUssein and Bib Laden who would destroy us all.

Best Fregards.

[Jeff Head]

FYI.

[dorben]

Bump ! This needs to be seen over & over again .

[Jeff Head]

This professor and his ilk need to be CONFRONTED over and over again.

All the way to Baghdad! Let's ROLL!

[drstevej]

Perhaps Professo De Genova would like to become a human shield?

Methinks he is to testicularly challenged to crawl out from behind his tenured position and stand next to a mobil missile launcher in Baghdad.

[Pushi]

Jeff, deep down most of the Democrats in the Congress want the same thing.

[albertp]

So be it! It is possible to send letters of protest to Columbia, and to any other college and university that receives taxpayer funding. We are taxpayers, too. And we have the right to disagree with disgusting traitors, horrified though they are by any challenge to enter into vigorous and well-reasoned debate rather than a sweet dialogue among like-minded syrup heads, fellow travelers and useful idiots!!! Rather, they resort to name-calling and stereotyping, the "intellectual" tools of COWARDS, and, to them, this absolutely settles the argument and proves the moral superiority of their pathetic positions.

It is quite obvious that these ultraliberals have long ago abandoned the true liberal spirit which is one of vigorous debate, research, and further debate. They are not content to live and let live. They will not let us live in peace, despite their self-delusion that they are pacifists. In short, they obviously will not let us live at all.

[alisasny]

I wrote an email to the President of Columbia. I doubt he will respond but it was sent.

Subj: De Genova, Sedition Date: 3/28/2003 2:49:02 PM Eastern Standard Time From: To: bollinger@columbia.edu Dear Mr. Bollinger, While I truly respect free speech perhaps Mr. De Genova should stick to teaching anthropology, unless of course you agree with him too. Calling for the deaths of US military men and women is serious business. Expect huge criticism. At an anti-war "teach-in" this week, a Columbia University professor called for the defeat of American forces in Iraq and said he would like to see "a million Mogadishus" -- a reference to the Somali city where American soldiers were ambushed, with 18 killed, in 1993. "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military," Nicholas De Genova, assistant professor of anthropology at Columbia University told the audience at Low Library Wednesday night. "I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus." Respectfully, Lisa NY ( full name and contact redacted) (mother of 2 children who will not be attending Columbia)

[Sparky760]

Many people contributed contacts in Columbia University for anyone who is angry and would like to voice opinions on my post from yesterday.

Still hoping Bill O'Rielly gets on board with this one

[Bronzewound]

Great letter, Jeff! You hit the nail on the head.

[mewzilla]

Eloquent e-mail.

For two De Genova-related links, click here and and here. Easy to see what this guy supports.

[Jeff Head]

Methinks he is to testicularly challenged to crawl out from behind his tenured position and stand next to a mobil missile launcher in Baghdad.

Yes he is. He is of the same ilk as Arafat, Hussein, Bin Laden and all other tyrants who get young impressionable youth and ideologs to go and do their tyanical, genocidical, murderous deeds for them. In this vein, he is (IMHO) no different than they.

All the way to Baghadad! Let's ROLL!

[francisr]

thank you - i also wrote -
his not tenured - we must keep the pressure up - please call the provost on monday

[beaversmom]

Excellent letter--I think we should e-mail all our friends and family and encourage them to do the same. Also, the President of the University needs to be called to task about dismissing this so easily as "free speech".

[Jeff Head]

I know ... and if there is to be a real fight, then let it begin here. Let this issue be the issue that brings it on. The sooner the better as far as I am concerned with these traitors. We have been fighting the fight of a thosuand cuts for far too long IMHO.

[beaversmom]

Did Bill say anything about it last night? He'll probably mention it on Monday if not.

[moneyrunner]

Jeff,

You give the professor too much credit. Yes, there are useful idiots. But there are also those who aspire to be the head of the secret police, the next Lenin or Stalin. The ones who decide who shall live and who shall die.

[drstevej]

Baghdad, then Columbia University.

FREE THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY SYSTEM

Radicals Speak Out At Columbia 'Teach-In'

[JudgemAll]

More excrements flung by the so called "higher elite" of our nation. What a disgrace the nation and students pay so much universities to have these hacks throw excrements around.

[Jeff Head]

It is quite obvious that these ultraliberals have long ago abandoned the true liberal spirit which is one of vigorous debate, research, and further debate. They are not content to live and let live. They will not let us live in peace, despite their self-delusion that they are pacifists. In short, they obviously will not let us live at all.

Amen, you have nailed their disposition to a tee. They are themselves tyrants and genocidical, as this man's own words indicate.

[What Is Ain't]

Well done, Jeff. I think this useful idiot will find himself in an unemployment line soon.

[Jeff Head]

Thank you, and God bless you for emailing them.

They need to all here it.

[beaversmom]

I thought of a sign I'm going to make soon--"Peaceful Leftists, How many Mogadishus are you hoping for?" I know they all don't voice the professor's opinion, but I wonder what percentage are secretly wishing for it--that's including our Democrat Leaders as well.

[dts32041]

bfl

[Jeff Head]

Thank you. I could not sit back and not respond to his disgusting comments.

[griffin]

Good job Jeff. I sent one as well, to him and his provost. I wasn't as thought out as you...I think dog excrement was mentioned a time or two.

Eagles up! :)

[Joe 6-pack]

I wish the guy on the left were still President of Columbia U. I only hope the current Columbia President is 1/10th of the man Ike was.

[gcruse]

I don't know if traitor is the word. Clinton's selling out our defense to China was treason [and you saw what punishment THAT got--zero], whereas this clymer doesn't appear to have done anything like that. I thought maybe it was sedition, but that is calling for the overthrow of the government. It's sickening to know there are Americans out there like this creep teaching their hatred to our youth, but universities hire them to the near exclusion of any other mentality. The rot starts elsewhere.

[Countyline]

I heard this on the Hugh Hewitt show yesterday. He asked the alumni to take up this cause to get this guy removed.

KRLA 870 to listen to yesterdays show and to listen live monday thru friday go here ...

[CheneyChick]

Bravo Zulu, Jeff Head.

[beaversmom]

How long would this guy last had he said "I'm hoping for millions of James Byrds across the country!" Free speech wouldn't be an excuse then.

[francisr]

yes - he is bundled in with the current mutation of anti-semitism -
the "I'm not anti-Jew, I am anti-Zionist - though all Jews are Zionist" school of thinking - it sickens me
check out the writings of Robert Mueller and others who have pushed this in the UN for years

[Jeff Head]

Thank you for wrting, get your friends and neighbors to do the same.

[mel]

This little guy would wet his pants if you said BOO to him.

[countrydummy]

Jeff, wonderful letter! I was mad as a wet hen when I read this yesterday! Great and wonderful job! I have never read such sickening remarks before.....he is totally disgusting!

[f.Christian]

Liberals // french ...

anti right (( smarts // successful )) --- pro wrong (( stupid // losers )) !

[Husker24]

Thats what I was thinking, if he said "I hate Ni**ers!" he would have been fired that day.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for sharing this.

If it is ever documented that this POS received funding from Soddomite, some other Islamofascist Opecker or the French/German/Russian/ChiCom pro Soddmitists. He should be arrested and sent to the Kurds and freed Iraqis for war crimes.

At least he is honest. There are liberals and so called conservatives who hate our troops and our president as much as he does. However, as cowards, they hide their hatred by wrapping themselves in the first amendment as just dissenters against war and for peace.

[MeekOneGOP]

Was the professor at THIS function? . . .

[expatguy]

very nice

[Sparky760]

No he didn't mention it, unless I missed it since I did miss one segment. I was thinking that maybe his staff was not able to get all the info they needed by then. I beyt your right.........Monday's show. I sure hope so because Frankly it's not getting much press at all and to me it is despicable.

[Sparky760]

Great Letter Jeff

[buffyt]

I was filled with anger, too. Peace protests are one thing. Arson/anarchy that have come with the protests are detestable. But the professor calling for death to our brave YOUNG men and women in harm's way is damnable. My future son-in-law went into the navy after graduation from high school about a year ago. He is still in training in Florida, but has had "all of his shots" and he knows where he is headed. He went into the military because he wanted an education, he needed some time to grow up and mature, and he wanted to do his duty for all of us. I hate knowing that a college professor wishes Robby dead. Some of these soldiers will return from the Gulf, they will go to college... this professor will be facing many of them at that time. I don't know if the college will be able to keep the professor safe, he may have to go to a new school and teach under a new name and ID.

[P-Marlowe]

Great letter Jeff. Its too bad this idiot can't read. Maybe if you sent him a picture book... Or some pictures of the results of the tyranny he is supporting... Well he's probably blind too. Never mind.

[buffyt]

I bet you are 10000000% CORRECT about his lacking of 'nads and his over-abundance of tenure!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Ditto, Jeff. I just wish you would have given us all a chance to sign your letter- I don't know how it can be said better and with nary a word of profanity either.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I see this as a challange to surpass the seemingly insurpassable-I accept the challange my Friend, stay tuned.

Freegards,

F.J.

[countrydummy]

yelp! This professor should be dragged into the streets and tarred and feathered!

[paul51]

Under the circumstances, much too civil for me. I wrote:

Dear Mr. Bollinger (Pres of Col.),

I am the proud father of a fine student and person who has considered attending your institution. We visited Columbia recently and kept it on the short list. Upon becoming aware that there would be on your staff a piece of shit such as N. De Genova, we have changed our thinking. From where I sit, your loss. Too bad,

[beaversmom]

I e-mailed some national radio guys about it early on Friday in case they hadn't already heard about it and one local guy as well. I think everyone should do the same to their local conservative radio talk show hosts.
