And had she been your party’s nominee, you would’ve happily cast your vote for her.

That’s conservatives for ya...take it out on the people with the least amount of power like a professor at the University of Birkenstocks. They’re making too much money and have too much security.
I think conservatives voiced thier opinions of Fiorina when she got very little support in the GOP primary.

It has been reported this woman said in a tweet people should call her directly at a given phone number which was actually a number for a suicide/crisis help line. If true, she tied up the suicide/crisis hotline phones and precluded people who needed their services. what kind of person does that??

It has got to go into the dustbin of history with the soviets whom where it came from.
Pretty much based on western European model that evolved over several centuries in American universities.

I'd assume back in the USSR that Joe Stalin could get a professor fired if he wanted to do so.

Of course a libertarian has the only correct response to this.

Fresno State Shouldn't Fire a Professor for Saying She's Glad Barbara Bush Died | Reason

It reminds me of those realtors who do nothing, then collect 7% of the home sale. They make you sign contracts and you are stuck with them.

All professions have people who don't deserve what they make. Middle managers who do no work. People who pretend they are busy.

Professors work very hard to get to their positions. If it bothers you, then you should get involved in the college and express your views.

I'll be for ending tenure, as soon as right-to-work rules in the states that implement them, are repealed!

According to this article, she also tweeted:


“PSA: either you are against these pieces of s--- and their genocidal ways or you're part of the problem. That’s actually how simple this is. I'm happy the witch is dead. Can’t wait for the rest of her family to fall to their demise the way 1.5 million Iraqis have.”

"All the hate I'm getting ALMOST made me forget how happy I am that George W Bush is probably really sad right now."

“I work as a tenured professor. I make 100K a year doing that. I will never be fired. I will always have people wanting to hear what I have to say.”

This whacko is mentally deranged.

This sort of vitriolic hatred is very common on the left....it's made me go from a moderate to a conservative because I don't want to be anything like them.

And worse, I’d want her to survive it now that I think about it.

Not really. They didn’t support her, but not for the right reasons.

They had, and still have no issues with her rip-off of HP. They dislike her because she was in Trump’s way.
