" Leftist professors will be strung up. " [Ok, but remember, turnabout

is fair play.] Hurricane Reality vs. Right-Wing Ideology By Joshua

Holland 08 Sep 2005 " Further on the fringe, blogger Michael Calderon

[a teacher at Rockville High School, Rockville, MD] at David

Horowitz's Frontpage Magazine saw in Katrina the potential for a civil

war following a major terror attack in the U.S. and envisioned a

Hobbesian war of all against all, predicting... 'Expect heavily armed

and infuriated conservatives to launch a cleansing war against the

traitors. The armed will mow down the mostly unarmed segments,

especially those elements that devoted 40-plus years to anti-American

hatred to destroy this country. Should the likes of Noam Chomsky,

Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Michael Moore, Ward Churchill, Dennis

Raimondo [sic], et al. act out their sedition ... expect their bodies

to be found shot full of holes ... Leftist professors will be strung

up...' " [Hey, Calderon: mayhaps the 'unarmed segments' won't remain

'unarmed' for long. --Lori Price, best friend of a 'Leftist Professor.']

exposed Hatfill was a prime 'person of interest' in the 2001 anthrax

attacks... Louisiana may have averted a planned bioattack just this

New Orleans Unmasks " Apartheid, American Style " By Jason Miller " What

is the recipe for a toxic sludge potent enough to destroy a heavily

populated city and inflict infection with a mere splash? Start with a

force of nature powerful beyond belief. Mix in an ample supply of

sewage, garbage, brackish water from Lake Pontchartrain, floating

corpses of humans and animals, and various and sundry noxious

chemicals. Blend well with a system of seriously inadequate levees

resulting from cuts in federal funding. Of course this concoction

would not be complete without heaping portions of racism, spiritual

emptiness, and avarice fueling slow and inadequate federal relief

efforts. "

taking office, simply refused to heed the warnings from the outgoing
