Yes, there is.

Who bribed the regents into dumping Chemerinsky?

I have a hunch who it might have been: the Federalist Society.

This is a creepy organization that has its tentacles spread throughout our legal system. It’s a cancer that has been silently growing within the body politic for many years. And like all good cancers, it needs to be excised before it can do any further damage.

So are you saying that John Yoo at UC Berkeley isn’t a conservative? And your second-to-last sentence makes no sense–which isn’t surprising coming from you.

“Obviously I’m sad because it’s something I was excit[ed] about. I’m angry because I don’t believe anyone liberal or conservative should be denied a position like this because of political views.”

A conservative would’nt have an opportunity like this because of their views. And if a conservative was denied, you would feel whole that a republican was shut out and denied because of it. BS story.

YOO DA MAN!

My point is that it’s very similar to gay men who work for the white corporate masters when those masters would seek to legislate prejudice against them. It’s sick.

It has nothing to do with anyone being a victim. It has to do with doing the bidding of those who hate you. The Republicans represent the old white-black paradigm, master and slave. The GOP are the political descendents of the slave-owning plantation owners.

I just think that conservative blacks or maybe in this case a black man who allows himself to be intimidated into doing their bidding are even worse than your average conservative enabler, considering the irrefutable bigotry of the rightwing.

Did the indifference and then outright contempt for the horrible response to the mess in New Orleans not convince you enough that the rightwing in this country hates you as a black man? Really? And then you have this guy who caves in to the political agenda of yet another Rich White Man who might get mad because there’s a dirty liberal as a Dean. Come on.

Academic freedom is at stake here: if a fatcat right-wing donor can hold a university by the balls, higher education no longer rewards free enquiry but only the views of the wealthy elite.

What’s next? Turfing out the entire science faculty, just because some right-wing wacko thinks the earth was created in six days, 6000 years ago? Forcing American literature professors to put Ayn Rand on their required reading lists? Making a bonfire on campus with all the books that carry ‘dangerous’ liberal ideas?

Yeah… this also seems to be a new troll tactic, too. Come here and pretend to be liberal, and then cluck at how low “we libs” have sunk.

I think this is a phony post.

I agree with you, Rep of Stupidity. Obviously “Carol” has never read Ann Coulter, David Horowitz, or even some of our usual trolls here.

Now that is a truly sophisticated argument, Liberalismisnotdead/Hillary whackedVince/Neoconsfartterrorists, etc. It sounds as if you’re paraphrasing, “Me, Tarzan. You, Jane.”

Comment by lefty

what kind of stereotype is that? I am ‘black’ and I lean towards the views of Bill Cosby- we are not all victims!

Now Chemerinsky can sue their al Cracker a*ses into poverty…

…he’s smart enough to do it too!

Here is a string of the addresses:
eatoomey@uci.edu; keiler@uci.edu; lwalton@uci.edu; ellen.lu@uci.edu; prowland@uci.edu

And, remember next time you meet someone from UC-Irvine, this is a low-quality institution presided over by Republican hacks.

We’ll have none of that! No thinkers allowed in the United States until bush is out of office!
