Its a reflection of a wider shift in US thinking and policy. The time has come for you fools to ask why the majority of the planet has had enough of your games.

No need to get all hysterical. But here’s a suggestion. Get your women in black to dress up in their finest and do a BLOCKADE of De Paul.

Refuse to let anyone enter or leave the campus in protest. And bring some rocks and sticks and couple of Hezbollah flags and maybe posters of Nasrallah and Bin Laden and Che to demonstrate your peaceful intentions.

Actually, it seems to me that all these protests, and harassment of DePaul management has finally paid off. Mr. Finkelstein can now devot full attention to moving to Iran for his full professorship at Teheran University.

Meanwhile DePaul is paying him his benefits and wages for the year.
So it’s all good.

I’m not sure but I think it’s pretty difficult to mistake an “n” at the bottom of the keyboard for a “t” at the top.

And why do fascists all label dilligent pursuit of the facts as pretentiousness? Seems to me like a indolent way of eschewing an actual debate on the facts.

From my experience that’s what seperates a reactionary like yourself, Bill, from anyone wants to lead a reality-based life and contribute to meaningful change in our society. You use your narrow and nebulous ideology, consciously or unconsciouly, to strain out any facts that might hurt your argument. Anarchists like myself don’t have the luxury of being as indoctrinated as you and so we prefer to look at the facts first and then look and them a second a third and fourth time and then formulate a tentative hypothesis on where the truth might actually lie. It’s a bit like the Scientific Method you see and it’s the closest humanity with ever come to objectivity in the political areana.

I say don’t waste your typos trying to convince people here you’re right. it’s not going to work. I suspect most of the people here, save those lucky enough to be raised by activists, took long and tortuous route to find a place where they wouldn’t be goaded by bored trolling fascists with little better to do than annoy people they disagree with.

So does De Paul University, apparently.”

did you even read the above article?

Your lies stem from your generalizations…the president and a minority of faculty doesn’t not constiute Depaul university…call it semantics but if you are going to form a cogent argument you have think of these things before you put on the court jester’s hat for our entertainment.

You really need to do some research before you go around acting like you know anything about the AIM…clearly you know less than nothing. It took me approxiamately five minutes to find information discrediting your disinformation.

Simply put the AIM split years ago over ideological differences…

“As is true with many national liberation movements (PLO, African National Congress), ideological differences emerged within AIM over the years. In 1993, AIM split into two main factions, each claiming that it was the authentic inheritor of the AIM tradition, and that the other had betrayed the original prinicples of the movement. One group, Based in Minneapolis, MN and associated with the Bellecourts, is known as the AIM-Grand Governing Council, while the other segment of the movement, led by, among others, Russell Means, was named AIM-International Confederation of Autonomous Chapters.?

Now conveniently the AIM-Grand Governing Council which you cited as a credible source on Ward Churchil obviously has an axe to grind with Russell Means and Ward Churchill. Ergo while you ironically state “Here’s what the AMERICAN INDIAN MOVEMENT (Not ADL, not Dershowitz, etc.) has to say about Mr. Churchill.” You are infact using a source that is MORE biased on this issue than the your lovely red herrings.

My question to you is why to obsesssive right wing trolls find in necessary to go on to leftist website and think we make a toast to them, grape kool-aid in hand?

Much appreciated!

I have read all Norman Finkelstein books. They are just hackneyed polemics. You won’t learn anything from them.

If you turn to page 59 of his book Holocaust Industry, you will find this unscholarly passage which, inter alia, led to his being shown the door: “The Holocaust memoirs of the survivors are fraudulent and few Nazi concentration camp guards were sadists.”

DePaul was too kind to him. If I were the President of that university, I would have strangled him on the spot.

I have a copy of the forensic analysis done on this book by the World Association of Treblinka and Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camps. It is part of a class action suit they were about to bring against Finkelstein and DePaul (for harboring him) before he was kicked out.

Any time you want to read the 119 fraudulent and bogus comments in this book of Finkelstein’s please let me know.

Oh, by the way, Finkelstein’s book Image and Reality in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict contains over 300 factual errors, besides the tendentious comments.

And if you want me to really get going, I am prepared to sit down with you and go over the 413 factual errors and phony source citations contained in the Finkelstein book called Beyond Chutzpah.

Yes, I have also dissected Finkelstein’s Ph.D. thesis, his book whitewashing Nazi Germany and his travelog on his time with the Palestinian Arab Muslims in 1995. I also have collected all his tapes, speeches and articles. They are filled with malignant fabrications of history and testify to a distorted mind-set.

I apologize for upsetting you. I know you don’t like to hear bad news. But the truth about Finkelstein will come out sooner or later despite all the attempts by blogs such as this one to censor freedom of speech.

obviously our interpretations of Finkelstein’s work differ.

I think Finkelstein is an idiot. So does De Paul University, apparently.

You can jump to whatever hysterical conclusions you want.

I’m not your “errand boy.” Go find one of your “friends” to challenge.

Please state which of NGF’s books you’ve read, and then kindly state what the thesis of each of these books is. When you write “He’s a self-hating head-case who in my estimation needs quite a bit of psychiatric help,” I have a hard time believing you’ve read–much less understood–anything Finkelstein has written. If I don’t receive a direct response to this challenge, I will have to draw the appropriate conclusion: that you haven’t taken the time to do your homework before launching into you ad hominem attack against NGF, i.e. you’re a calcuating charlatan.

Actually I’ve read some of Finkelstein’s screeds. They’re opinions. No academic value to them.

He’s a self-hating head-case who in my estimation needs quite a bit of psychiatric help. That he’s been finally outed as a vindictive fraud to boot was just a matter of time.

But as a vocal ands articulate self-hating curiosity, he’s found currency with many kinds of bigots (some of them quite violent!) and wacky conspiracy buffs.

It’s been amusing for a while, but now it’s getting a bit tiresome.

Churchill is a fraud, plagiarist and bogus academic. Period.
Pointing to Churchill as another “victim” as the author of this article defending NF does, certainly doesn’t help Finkelstein’s case in my view.

Ward Churchill’s CDIB? UKB? ….Who cares? Here’s what really counts:
