UT Professor claims U.S. is a terrorist nation

Briefly tuned into the FOX news program last night entitled, "The Big Story". They had a professor from University of Texas who among other outrageous statements said the U. S. was a terrorist nation. He went on to say President Chavez of Venezuela was correct to say we're terrorist and when it comes to Venuezuela, the U. S. are the bad guys. I believe the professor's name is Robert Jensen and he teaches a class called Critical Issues in Journalism.

I was blown away. I half expected him to be affiliated with one of our liberal California universities, but the University of Texas? It's hard to believe we allow folks like this to teach our young people at any venue.

Some of bs is contained on the following website. www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/525132/posts

I have this itch on my ass that I have the urge to scratch. But I know if I scratch it it will just get inflamed and worse.

Every college, with the possible exception of West Point, has its share of noisy ideologues who cry for attention from the safety of their bully pulpits. They can intimidate and indoctrinate young people, there's always a fresh supply of sycophantic students to stroke their egos, and they never have to take responsibility for anything.

Well, here's his webpage: http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/%7Erjensen/articles.html and his email rjensen@mail.utexas.edu.

I traded notes about him with a fmr. professor this morning, and he is not well-loved by his fellow faculty, FWIW. Fire at will.

I was going to post something like that, but not as eloquent, and it would have had something like, the radical activist professor act is the only way he can get laid, albeit by activist feminist types with armpit hair and maybe sporting male genitals.

For those that may be unaware, this guy is a prime example of who and what is up there in Austin. TU is where us Texans pool all the tree hugging hippies. It's easier to keep track of them if they're all in one place.

Austin, Texas is one of the most liberal places on the planet.
