My bully pulpit to rail against anything and everything
Old hippies never die, they just turn into manure.

April 10, 2004. A "peace" protest, with a guest speaker. Hatem Bazian, a professor and lecturer at U.C. Berkeley, was the speaker. The tree huggers came out in droves, not unlike worker bees for a queen. The good professor, a teacher of Islamic studies, also a former Palestinian inhabitant, egged the crowd on with such dynamic comments as "We've been watching an uprising in Iraq and the question is that what are we doing? How come we don't have an intifada in this country?"

"Because it seems to me, that we are comfortable in where we are, watching CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, and all these mainstream....giving us a window to the world while the world is being managed from Washington, New York, from every other place in here in San Fransisco: Chevron, Bechtel. Carlyle Group, Halliburton; every on of those lying, cheating, stealing, deceiving individuals are in our country and we're sitting here and watching the world pass by, people being bombed, and it's about time we have an intifada in this country that changes fundamentally the political dynamics here."

"They're gonna say some Palestinian being too radical- well, you haven't seen radicalism yet."

All the stuff in quotes was the good professor. This man has no place in the U.S., let alone an institute of higher learning. THe people of California pay this lunatic's salary and he's still on campus. This man wants people to start the suicide bombings that have become all the rage on upper East side of Palestine. This man should not be spouting this garbage anywhere. Not if tax dollars pay for it. San Fransiscans take it all with a grain of salt apparently. This man is nuts. These are the people you left leaning people defend. No more. This man is a menace and the kids and hippies with the minds full of mud are no better, including some of you, dear readers, and you know who you are. Start your intifada, you anti-freedomites, happy time is over. Get a clue.

Bazian should be arrested. Then he should face a fireing squard after he has been given a fair trial!!!

Thank you Marvin, I appreciate your sentiment. This man is a menace to society. He picked the wrong time in the history of the U.S. to spout his homicidal viewpoints. He needs to be taken down. Trial works for me, maybe his roommate in prison could show him his version of a Patriot missile.

Excuse me, you murderous brute...

What exactly do find objectionable about speaking truth to power, about having the courage to resist empire, about standing in solidarity with the oppressed victims of capitalist domination?

Still, I am amused by your twisted psychosexual fantasy of god-sanctioned heterophobic homoerotic rape. What? No playground close enough to your apartment to sate these cravings?

I'm told nose rings are painful. Perhaps you would like to share your experience, Bully?

No cravings. I have a wife for that. No nose rings, no tattoos, many, many scars, borne of stupidity. As long as the libs let the prisoners have condoms and teach sex ed, go for it. I think abstinance would be moot at this juncture. Besides, I have no problem with messages or objections, just not in a time of war and not to tell kids to strap bombs to themselves and commit murder. Free speech is one thing, inciting violence is a whole other story. If you feel so capitalistically dominated, I'm sure I can scrounge up enough cash to fly your butt to Iran. Thank you for your comment!

You admit you use your wife to satisfy your psychosexual perversions? A good first step.

I cannot show you the nose ring you choose not to see. Take the red pill, the blue pill -- it's all in your hands.

I agree we are at war, but the real questions are who are the aggressors and what do they seek. You clearly have limited knowledge of world history, or US history specifically. A great place to start is Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. In the mean time, turn off the television while you can still string two words together.

Finally, I am happy that you mention Iran. Recent Iranian history is a crystal example of oh so many features of world history and US-backed capitalist domination. Since you cite this European-created entity, the so-called state of Iran, you must be aware that the first democratically elected government in the Persian Gulf was to be found in Iran. You are further aware, I'm certain, that this government was deposed by the US CIA under the ham-fisted direction of Kermit Roosevelt. What you see as a failed state is in fact a clear example of successful US intervention. Unfortunately, there are scores of similar examples.

Please, if you wish to express aggression -- do so concerning a subject with which you are familiar! Otherwise you are just another stupid white guy....

I'm curious as to how they responded to the man's speech, and how they would respond to somebody who sympathized with Israel. What he says is pretty disgusting and only helps to paint his side as a bunch of murderous terrorists.

Stupid white guy here. Don't watch television LoveMuffin, sorry. Pfizer has a great blue pill, but I don't do drugs. Revisionist history is history in name only Chumpsky, though I am somwhat are that "I think, therefore I am." I am perfectly aware of the past democratic government in Iran, of which our dirty little fingers screwed up. So, as I have so far gleaned from your locution, the present isn't a good time to right wrongs? You want to wait and have your children do it? I'm not murderous, but you calling me a brute really gets my glands in motion. Love it little "girl", call me some more sexual names, please!
Super Baby, as far as I could tell from the news clip, there was a pretty fair amount of applause for this guy, but it's Berkely. I still haven't heard a peep from any media outlets about this guy and his views.
