Roger:

They don’t care about the Taliban’s 12th style treatment of women or their views of freedom of speech, religion, assembly ect. What made this cretin so attractive to Yale is the fact that this theocratic fascist hates America. That is better then any S.A.T. score. It is so important to have other “views” and that we should not be so ethnocentric. What bile. Doesn’t the fact that this gent would kick every feamle Yalie out of the school mean anything to these fools. No. Because this man belongs to a group that has shot at American soldiers. Bingo, come on in. You are Yale material.

Lying.

Of course, when AQ strikes again, maybe it’ll be Yale that gets hit. Then he’ll be out there complaining that the government let these people into the country.

I lack the vocabulary to express my contempt for these cretinous poseurs. Intellectuals? Hardly.

A good story. And a good Ben Stein quote too: “Yale is being run by Froot Loops and is wacky.” Just like Harvard, where the Frosted Flakes are in charge. And it’s all waiting for the new members of the Yale Corporation (Jeffrey Bewkes, the Time Warner CEO; Donna Dubinsky, the former Palm CEO; and Fareed Zakaria). They’ll find helpful guidance in a trying time if they look again at the stone carvings in Sterling Library representing academic life. They’ll remember the one that’s relevant to the needed personnel changes, the one where the figure is holding the book that reads “U. R. A. JOKE.”

It has to be remembered that these people are nerds,it adds a little shiver of excitement to their drab academic lives.Further they never left school,it is like playing pirates,bandits or revolutionaries,at one time this meant having one’s own Viet Cong or Sandinista,now it is a Taleban.

Actually I believe Suvorov. I believe he has as dim a knowledge of the Taliban as he does how most Americans live. The inner workings of an Elks Club in small town Minnesota or the substance of a Baptist service somewhere in KFC Jesusland is probably as alien to him as how the Taliban operated, and those scruffy Red State Americans are better held at arm’s length.

First they destroyed the press with their tendentious anti-American and pro-Other point of view.

Now they are in the process of destroying the Universities.

Actually the two institutions are related. The U’s have been putting out leftists lying tendentious journalists for half a century or more.

It serves them right.

I hope more and more people stop donationg to Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Harvard, etc.

Count me in with the lying idiot (or lying retard) group. Barrett says it well too. Torture women in other countries? That’s cultural diversity and not our issue. Deny them the right to bloviate at public expense here in America? That is a capital crime against the women of the world. The lack of intellectual honesty simply astounds.

No, no, no. Mr. Suverov is a Lying RETARD.

Richard,

I agree with you completely. The thing that galls me with the secular Left is that their self-proclaimed enlightenment gives them the right to selectively use facts, take facts out of context to justify positions and scoff at anyone who would question them. It’s all here at Yale.

The strategy is to apply situational ethics to a relativistic world view. Then anything can be justified and it doesn’t matter what you stood for 15 minutes ago.

What ever happened to Aristole’s laws of consistency and coherency?

Think for a second what happened to Larry Summers at Harvard for his comments on women. You would think that all of women’s organizations would be howling over this one.

Having said all of that, I concur with the lying idiot contingent.
