Exactly, 100% agreement here |

...well, except from the track record I've seen of high-profile lefties getting hate mail, it's usually self-inflicted.
That being said, if it was any of Dr. Churchill's detractors doing that, it is entirely unacceptable and not to be tolerated. |

Nathan ... if its self-inflicted, that'll come out eventually. |

I pretty much agree with you on this one, but I think there are other issues that are a little stickier here which are inflaming people.
The reason people are calling for his resignation, whether they admit it or not, is that they are sick and scared of how the leftists have taken over various departments in colleges and used as centers for indoctrination. Freedom of speech is good but this indoctrination scares people and this is the reason this has become a touchstone.
I agree with you that we must not let politics limit academia, but the problem is that it already is limiting it. Churchill was the deparment chair and I'd be willing to bet significant sums that department marches pretty much in lock-step with his ideology and that dissenters are not very likely to get into that crowd.
I understand that this is different and I don't think it justifies his firing but I think it is the animus behind alot of this ire. |

I have another post above which addresses your points more specifically, but in general, I'm of the opinion that an employer has the right to fire anyone he or she wants, however that doesn't mean I agree with the grounds.
Here I see no problem with firing Churchill if there are real grounds to do so, such as he's a lousy professor and has violated his tenure agreement.
What I've been objecting to is the intitial reason the school gave, that he may have overstepped the boundaries of academic freedom. Poppycock.
And in this particlar post I'm more interested in pointing out that the moonbats who are painting up his truck and issuing death threats are seriously warped and their behavior is unacceptable. |

I agree that the death threats and swastikas are beyond the pale. I probably shouldn't have said what I did...but some days I'm more cynical than other days, I guess. |

There are few if any examples of campus "hate crimes" that weren't put-up jobs by the alleged victim.
Color me very skeptical that Churchill has received legitimate threats.
I also wouldn't put making fake death threats to gin up sympathy for Gregoire and discredit Rossi beyond the same Dem operatives who defrauded the Washington election in the first place. |

Like I said to Nathan, if so, it will most likely come out ... but I understand your skepticism. Part of the cult of the victim.
But if true, then, as stated, its unacceptable. |

I'm with the other guy. No one cares enough about this backwoods loser to want to actually hunt him down and either follow him to find his car or look up his motor vehicle registration. And, is it just a big coincidence that a lunatic who is obsessed with the thought that his intellectual detractors are "little Nazis" suddenly finds his car vandalized with...SWASTIKAS?!
Seriously, swastikas?!
Those damn Republicans! Always painting swastikas on things whenever they get angry! Or, maybe it was Colorado's GIANT neo-Nazi community, which understandably became enraged by his academic journal writings and decided to show him just how powerful the Nazi Party still is...
Come on, this guy is a joke, don't get all weepy about how we shouldn't force him to vandalize his own junk. $100 says that the Boulder Sherrif is looking right now at filing charges against this mook. |
