This guy's voice needs to be heard more in the Muslim world

Calm, measured, reasoned response. Wish we could sit him down with the militants.

 

Actually, he seems to have a problem being heard in this country, too.

We are led by such dumbasses.

 

At least they haven't banned his books:

God, we are stupid.

 

We ain't stupid. Our "leadership?" Well, that's another question.

 

My bad, that's what I meant.

 

Maybe it's a mistake to not let him teach in this country, considering people such as Ward Churchill last as long as they do. But if you're getting published in Newsweek and the Washington Post, you're getting heard.

 

There are several million of us who are stupid. There are several million of us smart enough not to be stupid. The "We" belongs in that statement.

 

Well, there's an opening for a professor now that Ward's 15 minutes are up.
