#1 I think it speaks poorly of us that we have ANY tolerance for this kind of crap.

#2 "Madison is fairly liberal. It's not surprising that a lot of people agreed with him."

So "liberals" believe that 9/11 was an inside job?

There is so much wrong with the beliefs expressed in this article that I wouldn't know where to start. The Left, MSM, Universities, et al have all gone collectively stark raving bonkers. The collective brainwashing is on par with the Islamofascists.

Our very own madrassas - learning nothing but leftist sqawk. No knowledge, no facts - these have no purpose. Just opinion; baseless, ill-informed, misinformed, uninformed, unformed opinion.

Gotta get me some o that skul larnin and gets me a digre.

#3 If I recall correctly, Steven Jones is a crackpot who's frequently on with George Noory and/or Art Bell on Coast-To-Coast AM (which I listen to as frequently as possible for its, ahem, entertainment value). I believe Jones is also the owner of the crackpot website Prison Planet - one visit there gave me exactly the information I needed to know about this kook (though I have suffered through a number of Coast To Coast shows that have had him on it).

#4 "Mr. Barrett's statements regarding the events of Sept. 11 have raised some legitimate concerns about the content and quality of instruction in his planned fall course."

In the category of "Most Amusing Understatement," the nominees are . . . .

#6 What's Barrett's islamic name?

#7 David D...I actually think it speaks highly of us. Nutballs like this are generally institutionalized or enprisoned in islamic countries. However, the fact that Barrett is a state employee is another story (e.g., Ward Churchill). As long as he has credentials and the people (state) want him, Bucky the Badger can do whatever the heck they want. Look at Angela Davis at UC-Berzerkley.

Actually it says more about the dementia associated with conversion to islam than anything else.

#10 Good grief, this guy runs with a LOT of "trustworthy" characters, doesn't he. Alex Jone's website alone was enough to turn me off to these crackpots.

And me being in Atlanta, I've learned two things first hand about 9/11. I know someone who PERSONALLY saw the plane strike the Pentagon (she now works here in ATL/was at another agency in D.C. on 9/11 and the plane flew right over her head and into the side of the Pentagon). And, two, my sis knows someone who we'll say serves closely to the President at times, and according to him, we may have actually shot down Flight 93. If you'll remember the F18s were actually within 5 minutes of catching the 2nd WTC plane nose-to-nose, so I (personally) have suspicions that we might've gotten Flight 93. BUT, in no way do I doubt the heroism going on inside that plane...the first citizen-soldiers in this long war, NOR do I doubt it was the right thing to do (shoot her down).

#11 This just goes to show you the value of a college education at a major university. You can do better (and save a lot of money) at a local library.

#12 pretty obviously a university that employs this kind of whackjob has others, and is unserious about an education. To me, now, a degree from UWM is the equivalent of a piece of trash - I hold in the same esteem. I will also look at their graduates in the same manner. Alumni should be ashamed at allowing this to occur

#13 Hey now! We've still got a good physics department! The university inflicts quite a lot of PC mickey mouse on the students otherwise, though.
Pity about Steven Jones: it looked like he was doing serious work with cold fusion before Pons et al published to the papers. Could be that incident has had him looking for betrayals ever since.

#14 We've still got a good physics department! This is a little off-topic but there is a medical technology developed a few years ago at Wisconsin-Madison for treating prostate cancer called TomoTherapy--it marries CT imaging with very focused radiation therapy. Turns out that it limits many of the side effects of radiation to surrounding areas. The technology was the outgrowth of a physics student's doctoral dissertation. Madison has crazy friggin moonbats there but also there are also some good things going on there in the way of research.

#15 So you're saying the arclight strike should be called off?

#16 The Arclight Strike can still be an option.

#19 Even iff F18's did shoot down Flight 93, the "shootdown" in no way diminishes the heroism of those airline passengers whom tried to stop the terrorists despite knowing they had a high prob of death anyway. Are Americans going to raggle over servicemembers-civilians whom courageously despite fear + uncertainty sacrificed their lives to save their charges or civilians just becuz the latter still died or was destroyed in the end - NO! * "PRECIOUS LITTLE TO TALK ABOUT" - IOW, only one all-encompassing view of reality-truth is allowed > NO DIFFERENT THAN THE COMMIES ANDOR RADICAL MUSLIMS, ETAL. THEY WANT WAR, ANARCHY, REVOLUTION, DESTRUCTION and ABSOLUTISM IN AMERICA WITHOUT EXPLAINING WHY TO ANYONE - SOMEONE ELSE, ANYONE ELSE, HAS TO EXPLAIN THEIR MOTIVES FOR THEM + TAKE BLAME IN THEIR PLACE. Iff I were an dedicated enemy of America, you can gurantee my men would not be sent on suicide missions, my reasons for war would already be given out, and Washington DC, etal US cities would already had been attacked and destroyed long ago.
