Pat Robertson and radical academics

[newbie]

This guy is insane. This is what he said on the 700 club a few days ago promoting David Horowitz's book titled, “The Professors: The 101 most dangerous academics in America.”

ROBERTSON: Ladies and gentleman this is a fascinating book. If you want to, you'd better take your blood pressure medicine before you read it, but it's "The Professors: The 101 most dangerous academics in America" and that's just a short list of the 30-40,000 of them, they're like termites that have worked into the woodwork of our academic society and it's appalling. This is available at CBN.com and book stores everywhere, and you really ought to read it and be informed.

TERRI: It’s interesting that so many conservatives haven't seen this because decades ago we were told that infiltrating education was the way to take over the country, we should have been on alert.

ROBERTSON: They gamed it, these guys are out and out communists, they are radicals, you know some of them killers, and they are propagandists of the first order and they don't want anybody else except them. That's why Regent University for example is so terrifically important and why we're setting up an undergraduate program that hopefully will see shortly 10,000 students, and then from there 250,000 because you don't want your child to be brainwashed by these radicals, you just don't want it to happen. Not only brainwashed but beat up, they beat these people up, cower them into submission. Ahhh! "The Professors", read it.

They beat them up!

Oh man, I need to get my cable connected so I can watch that show. Hilarious stuff. This man is a nutjob for sure. Today we brainwash 100,000 kids, tomorrow we plan 250,000 for our education system so they won't be brainwashed. That man is a riot!

Yes nothing prooves Pat Robertson's point more then the fact that here in Canada every one of my professors this semester voted Conservative. Oh, okay maybe that doesn't proove his point. But what about my economics professor who likes to hand us out studies from the highly left wing Fraser institute? Or maybe my history teacher who supports the war in Iraq, can't get more left wing then that. I have spent two years in University now and have yet to have a communist professor or meet a Communist student, clearly Pat Robertson has a point. Schools are just eminating with Commies, they are everywhere, but like any good communist they have the ability to hide all of their political beliefs, so their students can't tell, those are the worst kind of communists, the ones you know are out there but you can't find. Pat Robertson has an excellent point because in the past like during the vietnam war there was large support by teachers and the student body for the establishment and government activities, protests were very rare, and professors rarely opened their mouths on the issue, unlike today where every where you turn some student has 1,000 people following him making noise and complaining about the war in Iraq. Pat Robertson has it nailed never before in the history of universities have we seen so few capitalists and pro establishment teachers as today. Or maybe the guy is just full of shit, and got bored of bashing homosexuals and praying for hurricanes to miss American cities...good thing he was on hand for Katrina...but that couldn't be it could it?

Anyways, what university is this at? Personally, my encounters with profs are generaly they are very liberal and NDP. I have a poli sci prof that had an multiple choice exam question that's correct answer was something like "The NDP has been a major policy maker in Canada over the last 25 years." And there was a question that asked if the Notwithstanding clause is a peice of a right wing agenda...

Seriously, there are as many wacky profs on both sides of the fence.

That communists are invading the school system? Nah, no more than usual.

What university is this?
