More on the author of this: Can we really support these troops?

From Her website published but not authored by her.

So this bastard of yours wants 3 trillion dollars for his war efforts in Iraq.
Four years down the line and your fucked up country with its equally fucked up military has not managed to control and seize a country the size of California.
You can stuff your flags right where the sun does not shine for starters.

Three trillion dollars to kill more innocent,poor people who have done absolutely nothing to you. Nor they nor their President Saddam Hussein nor his government.

And dont'you give me the crap about your upholding a dictator.
For us he was a saint not a dictator and when you could not get him through years and years of inflicting misery and starvation through your smart criminal sanctions, you got us and him with your filthy smart bombs...And tell that shitty anti-war "liberal" "progressive" reps of yours that you did not uphold him in power, the people of Iraq did, by hook or by crook...and however much you hate it.

So get off your high sham pedestals for you are nothing and deserve nothing but the utmost contempt and get that truth right into your thick little skulls, skulls numbed with drugs, junk food, violence and trashy soap operas and of course...dollars.

Those same dollars that you will be spending on killing us some more.
A study , and only a fucked up country like yours would produce such a study, estimated that the cost of killing one single Iraqi is 2.40 Dollars.
This is what our lives are worth in your filthy calculating minds and in your shameless eyes.

This course asks the student and instructor to engage in a teaching and learning relationship that fosters action for social justice (praxis). We will examine the definitions of race, crime and violence with a special emphasis on corporate, political and state crimes against people globally. Beginning with foreign policy, globalization and war we will review the history of imperialism, colonization and the social and legal construction of white supremacy within capitalist nation/states. Cross-cultural constructs of terrorism, deviance and criminality will be explored. The student's knowledge about race, ethnicity and external patterns of cooperation and conflict between and among groups are identified and expanded. Source materials will provide multiple perspectives about who benefits from existing social and legal structures and definitions of criminal behavior. Past and present day theories on resistance and liberation, non-violence and revolution will be presented. This is an urban semester class.

From a list serve.

Hi all,
Thanks Eric for the information on the next meeting.  I am sorry, as it
stands now I will be unable to attend.  These are such critical times for
our teaching and learning on these issues...I would like to suggest that
the global group offer some teach-ins and speak outs on these issues Eric
mentions.  An LUC Saudi student of mine recently told me of his fears and
the cruelties he is experiencing on and off campus.  An open forum could
give many folks (faculty, staff and students) the knowledge that there is a
base of real people who are neither with the evil empire nor on the side of
what ever is the scapegoat du jour, we are with and for
"the people and the planet"!

Ok, here's another article and a link to an Arab based news service in
English.
In Solidarity,
June

Kosovo was about oil and nothing but oil, with maybe some uranium thrown in and a dash of 'wag-the-dog.' And you thought it was to save the poor Kosovar Albanians." Moreover, the NATO bombing campaign was "shameful and cowardly."
...
These international war criminals were led by General Wesley Clark (a Rhodes Scholar from Arkansaw) who clicked his shiny heels for the commander-in-grief, Bill Clinton (another Rhodes Scholar from Arkansaw).

Of course, Michael Savage wasn't speaking on a college campus, just broadcast across the airwaves to the entire nation. Sure he called our President and top General war criminals, and claimed the war was nothing more than a political ploy, a remark ultimately responsible for crushing the spirits of our men in uniform during a time of war. But I say we give her a free pass, and go after this Terprestra woman. After all, how dare you accuse a country of going to war just for money and oil, of recklessly slaughtering millions of people and assassinating a world leader without just cause, when the country is lead by Republicans.

Yeek. That course offered by "professor" Terpstra sounds like the typical brainless pablum offered by our lefty loony-versities which are in bed with the Islamists' agendas.

Race-baiting, America-hating screed. She should be given a boat ticket to Cuba marked "do not return".

[splashtc]

good grief-where do these people come up with their rantings- Their energy would be better spent attending business colleges instead of whinning away in liberal colleges.

You're a regular Malkin, Jeff.

May rabid badgers attack your nutsack.

[Hard Right]

Ah yes Zifnab, your moonbat masters have taught you well. Forget the fact that he's a known political commentator who's opinion, while offensive, was widely ignored as it should have been. BTW, as your kind likes to say, he was just execising his freedom of speech.

She on the other hand, is a loon who indoctrinates students into the ranks of the psychotic left under the guise of being an educator. Terpstra specifically made it a point to distort the words of the soldiers so she could portray them as the subhuman, murdering monsters she allready saw them as. You deliberately ignored what she said and try to protect her by inferring we are hypocrites. Why? Because not enough people (to satisfy you) took Savage to task all those years ago. Thank you proving that you lefties don't support our troops and that you are major league hypocrites.

[Zifnab]

I didn't ignore a word of what she said, only pointed out the marked and eerie similiarity to the caltrop that was spewing from the right less than a decade ago. They both maintain their freedoms of speech. They both spout inane drivel to those who look to them for guidance. But for some reason Terpstra gets a mailbox for of right-wing hate while Savage gets, as you put it, "widely ignored". Why the disparity of reactions? Why slip into a seething lather over Terpstra for supporting one butcher while Savage gets a free pass supporting another? Because Savage is a conservative, and Terpstra is at a university (and therefore must be a "librul demoncrat").

The hypocrisy lies in the dicotomy. Both are offensive, but only one is vilified. Both committ the same sin, but only one is crucified. Both influence the masses, but only one is held to accountability.

And the judgement is leveled purely by ideology. This is the definition of hypocrasy.

[templar knight]

Ha, the real difference lies here. Terpstra is a professor, at a state and nationally supported university(i.e. our tax dollars), who has a captive audience of students who have no choice but to listen to her drivel.

Fire the bitch, and let her get on Air America or whatever crap radio station(NPR)that supports her thinking. That is the way it is supposed to be done, and the only hypocrite here is the one who compares the Savage and Terpstra cases as if they were the same thing.

[Jeff]

"May rabid badgers attack your nutsack"

Hmmm... how charming. Did any of you notice that instead of saying, "Jeff, don't publish someone's address online" [which I stand by] He wished for some absurdly disgusting to happen to me.

Anyway, I stand by publishing her information because any of you could have gotten it yourselves, and also she published false information (that we pay $2.40 to kill Iraqis (when it is other Arabs killing Iraqis)). Also she spoke in a weird way that made her sound like she was not actually from America. Finally there was no place to comment, and I thought that some of you may have wanted to tell her that it was inappropriate.

She is evidently siding with the enemies of the United States, I think that someone should as I said give her a telephone call and tell her that posting that putrid and vile slander about the United States she should know that she is not supported, much less in a position of authority.

"Both are offensive, but only one is vilified. Both committ the same sin, but only one is crucified. Both influence the masses, but only one is held to accountability."

Trent Lott had to resign his position, Robert "KKK" Byrd who used the n-word in 2002 is the President Pro Tempor, Ralph Nader said "I feel like a n*gger" and he was lambasted by the media.

You are right, the left says what they want and they get by saying, "it was a misstatement" "botched joke" or "taken out of context"

What about Harry Reid doing the same thing as a number of Republicans and not even getting called out by the media. If you can't see the media bias in these things (I'm sorry I can't be more tactful) but you are a moron.

[templar knight]

Why, yes, I believe he is, Jeff.

[Hard Right]

"Both are offensive, but only one is vilified. Both committ the same sin, but only one is crucified. Both influence the masses, but only one is held to accountability."

The same sin!? Are you on crack? Savage criticizes the govt,how the war was conducted, and the reasons for the war. That worthless c--- launches a personal attack on our troops and their actions and you think that's the same thing? She clearly hates America while Savage has Clinton Derrangement Syndrome, but that's the same thing to you? BTW, Savage was ignored because he's a nobody.

There is NO equvalency here. Period.

Like I said you only want to avoid dealing with what she said. I'm betting it's because you agree with her.

[Jeff]

"Savage was ignored because he's a nobody."

In all fairness Terpstra is a nobody too... But there are mainstreamers who call our troops baby killers, nazis, and murderers... and they are?

The Democrats in Congress!

And people like Olberman, the WaPo staff... Jane Fonda... Sean Penn... Daily Kos

The difference is the big name Democrats and liberals tend to be extreme, the big name Republicans and conservative (except Coulter) are usually moderate (Guiliani, McCain, etc.)

Read Gorilla's Guides sometime. You might find that actual Iraqis aren't walking around chanting "Democracy, Whiskey, Sexy!"

In case somebody missed it, that noble institution of higher learning is Loyola University, Chicago - a Catholic university. Even worse, a Jesuit University - they were once the top of the intellectual crowd and should know better.

It is inconceivable that someone like her should be on the faculty. (She doesn't seem to be full-time.) She's also at Columbia.

A Google for 'june terpstra' tells a moving story; especially this one:

http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=10184

She has a few lovely phrases, like, "The big pimp’s ho, (Bush’s whore) Condoleezza Rice, understands and communicates these concepts better than most peaceniks, progressives and social justice activists."

She claims that the right is using Gramsci's methods - she knows probably better than anyone that Gramsci is one of the founding fathers of the socialist Left.

For some odd reason, she's sometimes cited as "June C. Terpstra", and sometimes as "June Scorza Terpstra".

I don't know if Horowitz included her in the "100 Most Dangerous Professors", but he probably should. On second thought, it may well be that 100 is way too small a number.
