Death
to Tenure
By Mike Adams
October 29, 2011
Julio
Pino is a genocidal anti-Semite
who uses his university email account to boast of sodomizing the
mothers of his
political opponents. But he has the protection of tenure. And he also
has the
protection of a cowardly administration, which fails to sufficiently
condemn
the behavior of a man who is probably too effeminate to act on his
threats of
violence and intimidation.
Pino,
the unhinged Kent State
University history professor, recently shouted “Death to Israel” during
a
speech by a former Israeli diplomat. The university’s president, Lester
Lefton,
now says that statementwas “deplorable.” Lefton issued a statement
saying Julio
Pino had a right to shout “Death to Israel” and disrupt someone else’s
speech.
That’s good to know because I plan to barge into Julio Pino’s history
class
next week and shout “Death to Julio Pino!” If the president doesn’t
write a
letter supporting my right to do so, I plan to barge into his office
and shout
“Death to President Lefton!”
I
can do all this because we all know
that shouting other people down and drowning out their protected free
speech
with threats of violence is also protected free speech. It’s what the
Founding
Fathers intended. Death to Jefferson! Death to Madison! Kill them all!
President
Lefton surprised me when he
wrote “We value critical thinking at this university and encourage
students to
engage with ideas that they find difficult or make them uncomfortable.”
Well
that’s just great! That must mean that Kent State has no university
speech
code. And that means we can engage in a little experimentation.
First,
I say we go the Kent State
diversity center and shout “Death to Africa!” and “Death to San
Francisco!” If
we have time after lunch, then we can go to the Kent State Women’s
Center and
shout “Death to Feminism!” If the point is lost on them, then we can
ask a more
serious question: Why have you not condemned Julio Pino for claiming –
with his
university email address - that he forcibly sodomized a woman who is a
senior
citizen?
For
the record, President Lefton (see
http://www.kent.edu/president/index.cfm), said this about Julio Pino’s
most
recent outburst: “We hope that our faculty will always model how best
to
combine passion for one’s position with respect for those with whom we
disagree. Calling for the destruction of the state from which our guest
comes
(as do some of our students, faculty and community members) is a
grotesque
failure to model these values.”
Note
that Lefton was talking about the
“Death to Israel” remarks. Pino’s claims that he forcibly sodomized a
senior
citizen have yet to be condemned. Kent State officials are still trying
to
determine whether Pino’s email account was hacked as he claims. By the
way, the
investigation seems to have been lingering for about 18 months with no
conclusion. Maybe that means Pino’s computer wasn’t hacked. Maybe he’s
just a
sociopath. Maybe Kent State University is just a den of spineless
cowards.
The
irony of the entire “Death to
Israel” episode is that it came after Pino asked the Israeli speaker
how he and
his government could justify providing aid to countries with “blood
money” he
says came from the deaths of Palestinian children and babies. The
speaker tried
to move on after the absurd question. Pino started shouting and then
left. He
left many wondering “Was this the same Julio Pino who wrote an
editorial to the
Kent State student newspaper urging Palestinian children to strap bombs
to
their bodies to kill innocent Jews?” Okay, it really wasn’t irony. It
was just
blatant hypocrisy from a self-righteous racist.
Pino
did not respond last Wednesday
when I wrote to him about the “Death to Israel” incident. Maybe someone
hacked
his email account. Or maybe he was just out forcibly sodomizing a
senior
citizen. Sounds about right, since there’s no evidence his email has
even been
hacked.
The
Cleveland Plain Dealer recently
noted that Julio Pino was also caught up in a controversy in 2007 when
he was
cited on websites as being linked to an extremist Islamic website that
espoused
jihad and published bomb-making instructions. The Plain Dealer notes
that “Kent
State officials at the time said the extremist site had no connection
to Pino
or to the university.”
What
the Plain Dealer does not note is
that Pino and his former department chair have since admitted his
connection to
the terrorist website. Add the Plain Dealer to the list of cowards
protecting a
tenured terrorist who sucks the blood of the over-burdened taxpayer.
