Howie sends along this link about your friendly neighborhood freedom of speech loving liberal college campus. The victim is Jonathan Bean, a history professor at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
How does Bean respond? He caves, of course, withdraws the reading assignment, and apologizes.

He obviously felt his paycheck/prestige was more important. I feel for the guy.

Jeez! You guys just don't get it do you? We are not permitted to draw attention to any racism, killing or injustices of any sort committed by a non-white person. However, if they're white, and especially if they're American, it will be immediately approved reading material for K-12 graders and
required reading for all college courses including Accounting and Introduction to Basket Weaving.
(/sarcasm)
I'll shut up now before I completely lose it.

Who would think that frontpagemag would print inflammatorily racist material.
Or that its a suppression of free speech to ask someone to not spread tat junk.

I completely agree, said as much in a recent comment. Makes me angry too.
"So therefore I must be a racist"
In the words of a missing Rooster, who appears to have flew the coop
Where you at Rooster ?

Tat junk? Is that due to the context they've been placed in or extraneous to the heart of the matter, or like a virtual world?

Greg,
ItÂ’s ok if you killed him while he was completely helpless. I hope you covered his head with a pillow or just stopped his food and water for 10-14 days. It has been that long since we have heard from him. I encourage you to take this story.
But…If you killed him while he was still what we in Florida call a “viable living thing” you being a black man will have to serve the requisite 6 months in prison
I await your plea.

Judge,
I'm not a black man, not that there's anything wrong with being black.
Knowing Rooster he's probably just on a 2 week drunk. Or maybe he had a heart attack. His heart was so poisoned by hate.

Greg,
I know you and this Rooster fellow are not on the best of terms. I have watched many episodes of CSI Miami and would suggest you not go near the body until the case is closed.
LetÂ’s just set Rooster aside for the time being. Plenty of targets in your area.
Do me a favor. Go to rest home in your great state of Texas. Find the most feeble, helpless woman in the entire urine smelling joint. Then smother her with a pillow.
I can think of no better way to advance the cause of separation of powers and also,StateÂ’s rights

Oh, I forgot to close with "a good liberal is a dead liberal". That has a nice ring to it.

Well Fudge Rear,
Clearly you are confused as ever. How can you call one a friend and then insult them by calling them what you yourself truly are? The only sub-human scum I have seen lately on this site is that of you, chicken little brain (grey rooster) (and not much of him lately). You can clearly not see humor, admitted dark humor, when it is in front of you. But just to point out for you conservative mind, the other point I was trying to make, obviously escaped you, was that with everything being politically correct now a days, some words or actions are so stupid and insane, that they are truly oxymorons. (A meating eating violent monster (cannibal) being equated to what most think of a peace loving pacifist.)
As for the “Killing” of Terry Schiavo, she was not killed. She “DIED”. It would be a lot more humane if she had been killed. But being a higher species, we must allow others of our kind to suffer, while we would grant mercy to any poor animal that was in the same state. Let me ask you these questions.
1. Does not the bible state that God can heal the sick and resurrect the dead? (I believe the answer is yes)
2. Was Terry not returned to her natural state by the court? She was not born with a feeding tube in her stomach was she? (I believe the answer is yes, and no in that order.)
3. Did anyone shoot, stab, electrocute, inject, or smother her? (answer no.)
4. Was not her condition cause by a chemical imbalance that was brought on by an eating disorder? Who is the cause of the eating disorder? (answer yes, Terry.)
5. If Terry had woken up and asked for food and drink, would anyone there deny her sustenance? (answer no.)
6. So if God, who has the power to heal and resurrect, did not intervene on behalf of Terry, who was put back into a truly natural state, then is not God responsible for her death? (answer yes.)
7. Or was her death, brought on by an eating disorder of her own causing, an unplanned and unfortunate suicide. (answer Unplanned and unfortunate yes, suicide no.)
So Fudge Rear, when you stay up late at night getting your Fudge packed up your conservative Rear, why donÂ’t you contemplate a more civilize and criticize answer before you go insulting people. Now once you have tried that approach, or if someone attacks you first, then by all means open up.
One last thing, just so there is no mistakes, unlike Greg, I am proud to be a Liberal. On a scale of –10 (Fanatic Liberal) to 10 (Fanatic Conservative), I would rate myself around a –6 or –7, depending on the mood of the day.
