BROOKLYN COLLEGE’S ÜBERMENSCHEN

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 25, 2005 07:19 AM

Looks like Brooklyn College professor Timothy Shortell is off his meds again:

A CUNY professor who called religious believers “moral retards” has gone on another Internet rant – calling himself a defiant “superman” and comparing religion to oppressive regimes.

A firestorm erupted at Brooklyn College after the views of Timothy Shortell – elected to head the sociology department this month – were revealed in a Daily News story on Monday.

“Christians claim that theirs is faith based on love, but they’ll just as soon kill you,” Shortell wrote in an online journal that is linked to his Web site (www.shortell.org)….

“I have been attacked recently in the New York newspapers,” he wrote. “We laugh at our critics. We will behold with joy their silly tantrums.”

He also called himself and others who share his beliefs “Übermenschen,” a reference to German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s idea of the perfect person, or “superman.”
