The guy has the right to free speech, no matter how stupid the garbage that comes out of his mouth....

Alas, he should read his history. The kill ratio in the Battle of Mogadishu was about 2000+ Somalis:18 Americans.... roughly 100:1......

from the book Black Hawk Down the author states that conservative death toll figures were 500 dead, 1000 wounded. As sergeant Ramaglia said in reply to a medic's statement "i feel sorry for you all" ramaglia said "you should feel sorry for them, cause we whipped ***"

Im tired of everyone thinking just because they have the freedom of speach that they can say what ever they want without people being offended. We have a freedom of speach yes... that doesn't mean that people should say some of the things that are being said. I could walk in to a church and start explaining all the reasons I think Satan is great(which I dont, I'm merely making a point) but if i believed that and did that, it would be a imoral and immature thing to do. We should be using the Bill Of Rights to protect americans from an oppresive government, we're fighting one right now.

Yes, just because something is permitted under the law, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is morally right.

If the US had a million Somalias, chances are that prof would be dead:

Send this CHUMP a message on what you thought of his speech.

I never said that people can say whatever they please and not expect someone else to be offended by their remarks. It's the fact that they're able, allowed and even encouraged to say what they think, despite the fact that it could possibly offend you or a large group of people is the essence of the freedom that soldiers fight for.

To put it another way, that person has as much right to spout his mouth off and say something which makes your blood boil, as you do to rebuke him and argue and state what you think of his point of view is in a public forum.

That's the essence of freedom of speech.

I just wish he'd remember that the very people he wishes death upon are those who ensure his freedom to express himself.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag."

-- Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, Sergeant, USMC

Not only was our nutty professor a moron, he also turned out to be a coward.



MOGADISHU' PROFESSOR CUTS CLASS
By JENNIFER FERMINO and TODD VENEZIA

April 2, 2003 -- Nearly a week after Columbia University professor Nicholas De Genova called for the mass slaughter of U.S. troops, the man who wants "a million Mogadishus" fears so much for his own life he is refusing to go to class.

De Genova claimed death threats forced him to skip his 2:40 p.m. Latino History course at the university's Hamilton Hall - the first lecture he had scheduled since the March 26 anti-war "teach in" in which he referred to the 1993 "Black Hawk Down" incident in which 18 GIs were slain.

Instead of the professor, some 25 students were greeted by three graduate students, who said class was canceled and the professor was in hiding.

"Because Nick is afraid for his life, nobody knows where he is," said one, who refused to identify herself.

The woman then invited the undergrads to protest at the library.

Almost two dozen De Genova supporters gathered at 4 p.m. by a statue outside the Ivy League school's library. The protesters sat silently near an empty chair meant to symbolize the absence of the professor.

One who did not show up was Rebekah Pazmino, who attended the 2:40 p.m. class De Genova missed.

The 19-year-old sophomore said she is set to enter the Marines this summer.

She said she is angry at what her professor said.

wow, first the guy stirs up a fire storm that he isn't ready to deal with. And then he skips out on the one duty he has as a professor, to teach. He sounds like a REAL winner to me...
