"F#@$ YOU REPUBLICANS" - intolerant lefty professor

[Bowfinger]

Either way, she responded in an official matter using her university credentials and this is now public and exposed to everyone. It is kind of funny that you are suggesting that the person who exposed her bigotry is somehow unethical in their behavior.

Yes, revealing the contents of a private e-mail without permission is unethical. Now, once again, for reading-impaired trolls like Nick, this does not suggest or imply approval for Lewin's behavior. I'm simply saying the butt-hurt young Republican who publicized her private message was also in the wrong.

If I sent an email to my senator for example expressing my opinion and they responded with FUCK OFF REPUBLICANS it would be unethical of me to make that information public? LOL.

That's a bit of a grey area. There's a big difference between an elected official and a college professor. Elected officials have far less expectation of privacy, especially in communications to constituents. If you contacted him in his role as an elected official, he'd have little right to expect his response to be private.

Of course you don't really want a thoughtful answer to your question. You're just trolling.

The left is butthurt by this because they true bigotry is being exposed. Unfortunately this woman isn't the exception, she's the NORM.

Unlike you whiny Republican crybabies, I think "the left" is smart enough to understand that the action of one college professor reflects only on her, not the left as a whole. Of course they're also smart enough to know that her "Fuck you" wasn't an expression of bigotry, it was an expression of anger at something she found offensive.

 

[Bowfinger]

No kidding. When did Republicans become such whiny pussies? Though they're happy to dish it out, they sure can't take it. Every little slight, real or invented, sends them into a sputtering outrage.

Professor Lewin's e-mail was inappropriate, no doubt about it. As a professional and as a role model to students, she should hold herself to a higher standard, especially in any communications that some might interpret as official (even though it was apparently meant as a private message).

Beyond that, who cares? It was a stupid remark, Lewin issued the mandatory "apology" she obviously didn't mean, and if she has a clue, she learned to think next time before she hits <Send>. Presumably her boss told her STFU next time, if only because she should have known the usual cry babies would get all butt-hurt about it.

If she simply cannot hold her tongue, however, I'd suggest in the future she stick to Republican-approved retorts, like "Go fuck yourself." Then, when she has to apologize to the same people who dismissed Cheney's slur as no big deal, she should sincerely reply, "Grow a pair."

Just for Nick, since reading is hard. I even highlighted the part he has trouble reading.

For someone claiming that her response was "inappropriate", you're certainly pointing a lot of fingers at everyone else, blaming the College Republicans and the young lady who received the email.

Everyone else? Really? Aside from mentioning in passing (in response to FNE's suggestion Lewin sent her reply to "all the employees ... and quite possibly the customers too") that publicizing her private e-mail was a bit unethical, who else have I pointed fingers at? In particular, where did I blame the College Republicans for anything? I even criticized those on the left who insisted they shouldn't be allowed to send political e-mails to the school. Beyond that, I've just mocked people like you who think this is somehow an important story.

I think you're just butt-hurt because I called you on your dishonesty, claiming it was the mere existence of Republicans that set her off. Get over it. It's not my fault you lack the integrity to concede your error.

Taking my lady to Paso Robles now, any Republicans can recommend any good whineries on the central coast?

You shouldn't be spending your money on wineries. You should be visiting your fruit pickers and donating your disposable income to them.

Seriously, seek help. When you see yourself in a small sea of humans surrounded by zombies.

No, just ignorant people. I am saving the swamp gas for my personal army of zombies.

Damned arrogant Iowegian professor, who does she think she is, talking like that?
Vice President Cheney?

[jackstar7]

Where the hell did I say she was elected? I was simply making an example. You could just as easily use any private or public company as an example as well. She IS supported by taxpayer money and should be held to reasonable professional standards of conduct as anyone else would be if not HIGHER because of her enlightened position in academia.

OMG! You totally didn't say that. But you made a poor comparison. That's what I said.

And if you think people in academia should be held to higher standards, do you in turn give them more respect for holding said positions?

Just to be clear, I do NOT think this is an important story. Rather, I think it is an amusing story illustrative of many leftists, especially in academia, who fly into a rage when confronted with those not drinking the Kool-Aide.

Anecdotal evidence. The best kind of evidence.

You're a good Democrat. :thumbsup:

I can see how a professor whose field is same sex relationship studies could be angered by Republicans using the "coming out" terminology considering how regularly republicans do their best to squash the rights of the LGBT community. I can sympathize with the anger and irritation she felt at that email. However as a college professor her response was inappropriate. She should be more restrained and measured than that and she put forth a poor example for her students.

So the LGBT community has the copyright on "coming out"? Oh, the humanity!

Considering that no one has presented any evidence, even anecdotal, of liberal professors receiving this email and responding with a nice note about how everyone is entitled to his beliefs and associations, I'd say your side is behind on this one.

Must be the first thing Young Republicans learn in college, how to play the victim, Does Sarah Palin teach that class or did she write the textbook?

She got a ghost writer to write the book for her. Teaching and writing aren't her strong points.

194 replies to a thread because some random person told some random organization to fuck off. It's a good thing there are no serious problems with your country, you can waste your energy on this kind of stuff.

Good guesses for both of you.

It's like you can peer into my soul via the 60-ish characters I typed.

Maybe they read their class on her facebook page.

They might have gone for something a little fancier and printed it on the back of a book of matches. You know, so they'd all have mementos.

Lefties in full divert mode here.

lol

Divert what, you imbecile? Divert attention from the one-time hissy-fit of an unknown professor who no one's ever heard of and will never hear of again? Divert because this unknown professor is so incredibly representative of liberals everywhere?

Nick in full moron mode is more like it.
