AND YOU THOUGHT WARD CHURCHILL WAS BAD? "A Brooklyn College professor who called religious people 'moral retards' was elected to head his department this month—sparking a campus uproar."

That's how you can tell that the elephant is finally at the door: The more outrageous, bigoted, and actually insane these fifth-column wackjobs are, the more likely they are to be promoted to department chairmanships.

There's more:

"[Timothy] Shortell's remarks—which included lines such as 'Christians claim that theirs is faith based on love, but they'll just as soon kill you'—elicited a multifaith backlash among university groups.

"'He's intolerant," fumed Alex Selsky of the school's Hillel chapter, a Jewish campus organization. 'With this kind of unreasonable thinking, I don't know how he can be elected to head of a department.'"

How? Because, Alex, Prof. Shortell is emblematic of the Tolerant New Left. You're the one with the problem.

Oh. Yes. You. Are:

"A college spokesman said there's little CUNY officials can do.

"'Whether one agrees with Dr. Shortell's comments, this is an election as mandated by university guidelines,' he said. 'His comments are public, but this is the decision of the sociology department.'"

Lord Spatula I at the Rottweiler is on the case, and delivers a lovely canine mauling to boot.
