Prof calls fellow academics ‘sanctimonious bigots’

If the Left acknowledged sin, hypocrisy would be one of the most unforgiveable. But that’s exactly what hundreds of university faculty members – many in women’s and gender studies departments – were found guilty of during a recent experiment devised by a University of Illinois economics professor. Prof. Fred Gottheil told Front Page Magazine that he compiled a list of 675 email addresses from 900 signatures on a 2009 petition authored by Dr. David Lloyd, professor of English at the University of Southern California, urging the U.S. to abandon its ally, Israel. Prof. Gottheil discovered that six of the signers,

The results? “Almost non existent,” he told Front Page editor Jamie Glazov. Only 27 of the 675 “self-described social-justice seeking academics” agreed to sign Gottheil’s Statement of Concern – less than 5 percent of the total who had publicly called for the censure of Israel for human rights violations.

The refusal of women’s studies professors to publicly condemn honor killings, or academic advocates of gay rights to speak out against the treatment of homosexuals in Muslim countries, is just about as hypocritical as it gets. Their loathing (dare we call it hate?) of the UN-created Jewish state is so deep that it “trump[s] their professional interests,” leading them into a “ideologically discriminatory trap of their own making,” Prof. Gottheil added.

“The academic Left may be just a little more sophisticated [than the non-academic Left] in their loathing of Israel, but scratch the surface and it’s all the same…It turns out that with all their professing of principle, they are sanctimonious bigots at heart.”

Great article. Real data to validate an easily understood concept.

The Leftwingers hate not only Jews but Catholics as well. And they have only scornful grudging tolerance for Blacks because they need the votes. The Left has taken on the mantle (or maybe the sheets) of the KKK.

They´ve had it all along.

Wow! Another person with their very own wake up call.

Excellent article. Liberals are hypocrits.

That is almost the most fundamental nature of being a leftist academic. So they were that were part of the Russian Bolshevik revolution, so was Karl Marx and so have been the leftist intellectuals in every other time and place.

For them ideology doesn't serve humanity humanity serves ideology.

They need a survey to know this? Don’t they read Free Republic?

They herd like cattle, those professors.

The Leftwingers hate not only Jews but Catholics as well.

But so many of them are Jews and a few are Catholic.

What was he expecting, that liberals have any true guiding ideology? Liberalism is as much a fashion statement as anything else. They have to be against Israel because right-wing so-cons support Israel. It goes no further than that.

Thanks Nachum, hand-excerpting might have been better.

Leftists suck their lattes while reading Derrida and Lacan under Cinzano umbrellas and cheer on their Islamic surrogate marcher cadres. The phenomenon of mouthing principles of justice, equal rights and humane action in the face of blatant support for the enemies of those values can only be defined as a schizophrenic pathology watched over by the spirit of V.I. Lenin and his call to the dictatorship of the deductive process “The ends justify the means”. This corrupt and decadent idiocy gives left-sophists all the protection they need from the screams coming from their inner medieval dungeon. We need to call them insane a little louder.
