Are there even 50,000 professors in America?

I have a list here in my pocket of over 50,000 Taco Bell employees who order out for curry-flavored Chinese delivery. This is a grave threat to Mexican drive-thru restaurants across the country…

Well, yeah…. Especially in a Women’s Studies class.

only in the sense that a woodchuck looks a little like a squirrel. Horowitz is too well-fed to pass for Lenin.

Let’s see how many of those professors in D’Ho’s pocket lose their jobs, or disappear entirely, in the next 2 years.

Guys like Horowitz should rot in Hell. Except, uh, I don’t believe in heaven or hell.
What does it mean to identify with terrorists? You like people who set off bombs? Horowitz identifies with people who lie to get their country into wars. What does that make him? Well, an asshole for starters.

I would like to be the first one to come out and rant against abortions in the classroom.
I think abortions should be performed in clinics only, not classrooms.

“What is happening to our education system? I know that a great majority of professors are quite liberal and often anti-American, but I expected more from professors who are teaching our soldiers! … And what can we do to stop this?”

See there is the problem we are having in Iraq, during my time in the Marines we had Drill Instructors teaching us, not college professors.

You’ve got to admire the balls of the guy. Every individual witch hunt he’s done has failed miserably, so why not make it a hunt for 50,000? The success rate will be the same.

I have a list in today’s newspaper of 50,000 Texans who would willingly vote for a corrupt SOB with ties up the wazoo to an embezzling, murdering lobbyist. I mean, what does DeLay have to do to piss off his district, knock over a liquor store or something?!
Lee
If you are familiar with Delay’s district (I am) the results of the primary will not surprise you and you’ll know that he’ll get relected in November.

I hate how Horowitz focuses on unprofessionalism of liberal professors and complete ignores similar activity among conservative professors. At a university I once worked at, a conservative professor dropped a student by a letter grade because he referred to the time period from 400 AD – 800 AD as the Dark Ages.
Why? Because that was the height of the Catholic church and to call that period the Dark Ages is a slight against the Church.
Yes, some professors act unprofessionally, and let grading be influenced by extracurricular issues. It is worth investigating this matter, and determining what can be done about it. But turning this into a political fight, in which liberals are bad and conservatives or good, means that no one is going to do anything.

They’d just pass off the blame on an illegal mexican. After all, all the liquor store knockoffs have been done by minorites, leaving none for great patriots like Tom Delay.
yet another jeff
Well, DeLay’s defense fund isn’t doing so well…and as long as he only knocks over the store for the cash and not for the liquor….

David Horowitz, slime ball extraordinaire.

Horowitz is always going on about his “journey” from left to right. I think he’s shat out three or for books on that subject. How is turning 180 degrees and taking one step from one end of the “horseshoe” spectrum of ideology to the other qualify as a journey. Unless there was free crabcakes, chardonney and an expense account on the right side. Ditto for Hitchens and Cooper, the little shits.
RSA
Lenin? Nah, more like Big Daddy.
As for there being over 400,000 tenured and tenure-track full-time university professors in the U.S., I think that Media Matters might be exaggerating a bit. “Post-secondary institutions” sometimes includes things like community colleges. I’d guess that the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty at four-year accredited universities is actually quite a bit smaller, though I don’t know for sure.
Marcus Wellby
Idiots like Horowitz and Coulter who always piss and moan about “liberal professors” are nothing more than opportunistic assholes cashing in on the fears and prejudices of an uniformed and ignorant audience.
When one of these assholes address the REAL problem of higher education — the astronomical price — maybe I will take them seriously.

Bob in Pacifica asked: “What does it mean to identify with terrorists? You like people who set off bombs? ”
Actually, since he says they identify with THE terrorists, I assume that he has some specific ones in mind. Maybe we should ask HIM to identify which terrorists are THE terrorists, and how he knows that 50,000 liberal academics identify with THOSE terrorists, instead of some other “freedom fighters.” I mean, like the Contras, who were freedom fighters, right? And even the French Rsistance, who I think were freedom fighters unless you were Vichy French in which case they were terrorists? Was Begin and the Irgun a group of freedom fighters?
It’s all too confusing.

I think it’s time we begin purging people like Horowitz from our public debate.

Tim,
Why is it always acceptable for you leftists to compare anyone on the right with Nazis and/or Communists while any time a rightist does the same to a leftist it’s “devisive and extreme”. Is it not only “free speech for me and not for thee” but also civility? Not that I expect an answer since I have yet, in fifty years of watching, seen anyone on the left hold themselves to any standard.
Lines
Poor little Ken, you’re such a stand up sort of guy, and yet no one will step up to your “standards”.
Screw you Ken, you pathetic nitwitted trollish turd. While the word “liberal” has become a dirty name and Nazi sympathizers like Coulter run around saying its ok to hit liberals with a baseball bat, you’re sitting here whining about how liberals have it the best?
What fucking unicorn world of rainbows and sunshine up your ass are you living in?
W.B. Reeves
Not that I expect an answer since I have yet, in fifty years of watching, seen anyone on the left hold themselves to any standard.
I’ve been observing for an equal amount of time and I haven’t noticed any such standards on the right either.
One would be a fool to believe that a allegience to decent behavior was purely a matter of ideological or partisan identification.
