Brian Stuckey of Denver writes:

As Mike Rosen of the Rocky Mountain News aptly suggests, Paul Campos’ recent column, “Nonsense about terrorism,” was just that. The fact that nearly 3000 Americans perished on 9/11 is of little consequence to Campos and his kook fringe. In his view, terrorism is delusional. His abject hatred of the Bush administration overshadows his ability to get the facts straight. Or, to put it another way, the facts don’t really matter when one is obsessed with a “doom and gloom” political agenda. The recent terror threats at JFK Airport, Fort Dix, London and Glasgow serve as a call-to-arms for all Americans. Yet, Campos still doesn’t get it.

BS

Keep sucking, Stuckey, you'll always be a worthless little turd worshipping a mass murdering chimp coward.

How come we always here about these foiled terrorst plots and the arrests but never hear a thing about the perpetrators after the arrest. What has happened to thes people? Where are they? Are they being tried somewhere?

What can you expect. Campos is a screaming liberal who hasn't been outside of his campus classroom in over a decade.
This socialist and displaced communist couldn't find his own ass in a shower.

Mike D,because the liberal media doesn't want you to know all the good things the Bush adm. is doing.It's incrediable the majority of news people miss because of rmn, cnn and usa today.

428 is such a wonderful person to imply that his hero billy, I'll take a bj in the oral office, is a chimp coward,

thanks for you insightful post moron

Campos is a self declared intellectual giant; when in reality is an intellectual midget. It doesn't matter what subject he attempts to write on; it's a farce constructed with flawed logic and passionate emotion.

I pity the poor CU Law students who end up in his classes -- talk about not getting your money's worth.

Campos must be working on the cheap in order to survive the writers cuts the RMN just went through. I can't imagine anyone paying for his drivel.

Let's see if we can spot the contradiction: (bonus points for the Freudian Slip).

"...the facts don’t really matter when one is obsessed with a “doom and gloom” political agenda. The recent terror threats at JFK Airport, Fort Dix, London and Glasgow serve as a call-to-arms for all Americans."

He says Campos is obsessed with "gloom and doom", and in the next sentence uses a "gloom and doom" scare tactic: JFK Airport! Fort Dix! London! Glasgow! We're all gonna die!

Ol' "Steno" Stuckey's still got it.

So Charles B are you insinuating that the attempt at JFK, Ft. Dix, and the attack on Glasgow never happened then?

Charles B isn't insinuating anything. He just feels soooo superior tearing apart other people with his little games of "spot the hypocrisies", and "spot the contradictions"! You know, it's those small things that make the inferior and insecure feel superior.

He's a small man with a chip on his shoulder -- very similar to his mirror image, An American. Ignore their games and let them seek solace in their intellectual pursuits; as limited as they may be.

Hey Keith, welcome back from your vacation. Missed your style, a few have tried to imitate you, but they don`t have the old pizazz

Oh my God...Brian Stuckey, hank, and keith in the same post! I thought we'd never see it. It's too bad fella's that the rest of the country feels quite differently than you and your kool-aid swilling pals! Everyone knows that the ReTHUGliCONS have lost everything else that they are again resorting to the tactic of far ovewrblowing the terrorist threat. If Bush instead worked with the rest of the world against terrorism instead of pushing his own ridiculous, misguided agenda (diverting all of our resources to fight terrorism to Iraq; notice that none of the threats that Brian "Stuck On Bull$#@&" Stuckey emanated from Iraq), there would be even less of a terrorist threat than there is now. I seem to recal that the Chimp's own National Intelligence Estimate stated that Al Qaeda has pretty much recovered all of it's pre-9/11 strength. So fellas, feel free to come up with an honest, hold-water reason why that it is the Dems fault and not the Chimp's.

Charles B and Beavis,

So claiming that al Qaeda is back to full strength is not fear mongering? Claiming we are all going to bake to death from global warming isn’t a scare tactic? Stating that CEO’s get rich purely off the backs of poor people as opposed to working hard to get where they are isn’t a gross exaggeration?

I'm not saying that you two have actully said those thing, per se, but those are leftist positions.

I wish that once, just once, leftists would say that they understand that we really are in a fight against radicals from the Islamic religion who use terror tactics to meet there means. This isn’t just a theory, folks. It’s a reality about which many from the left claims to be a farce.

Often when someone from the right makes a statement about terror threats, leftist immediately try to diminish the threat or completely undermine it by calling the reported threat as a scare tactic. Paul Campos is a sheep in denial.

Saying that humans cause or significantly contribute to climate change is expressing a theory based upon politically motivated science.

Saying that rich people don’t pay their fair share is expressing an opinion based upon class envy.

Saying that there was a terror threat at JFK, Ft. Dix and in Glasgow is expressing reality based upon factual evidence. Campos and his followers believe that should be called a doom and gloom scare tactic.

Mountain Cat:

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to reject your premise:

"I'm not saying that you two have actually said those thing, per se, but those are leftist positions."

...and therefore ignore the question.

Try re-phrasing it and maybe include some statistical evidence that those are broadly supported positions by the "left"...
