Update: Deranged anti-Palin prof cleared
Photoshop: David Lunde
Terrific. The profanity-spewing, nutball professor at Metro State in Denver who required students to write essays bashing Sarah Palin has been cleared of wrongdoing. (Flashback: Meet Colorado’s new Ward Churchill wanna-be.)
Instead, the college has recommended “appropriate mentoring.”
A special investigation of part-time Metropolitan State College instructor Andrew Hallam has determined that he had not violated any college policies in assigning an essay on Republican vice president nominee Sarah Palin to one of his English classes.
“The investigation concluded that Hallam must learn to curb the use of vulgar language in class, and that the introduction of controversal topics must have a substantial relationship with the subject of the class,” according to a news bulletin released by the college Tuesday.
“While discipline is not warranted, appropriate mentoring is recommended.”
The findings of the investigation was announced by Metro State College president Stephen Jordan on Tuesday.
Hallam, 36, will be assigned a faculty member to serve as his mentor for the rest of this semester, according to Cathy Lucas, spokeswoman for the college. He could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Lucas said the college will also add an all-day session on how to maintain political balance in classes to orientations given to part-time as well as tenure track faculty members.
Hallam, who started teaching at Metro State College this semester, came under fire in September, after he gave a controversial assignment to one of his English classes.
He allegedly told them to write an essay that would contradict “the fairy tale image of Palin” as presented at the Republican National Convention.

I wonder who the “faculty member to serve as his mentor” will be.
I’m thinking Ward Churchill.
His thirst for anything anti-Palin could have easily been quenched by tuning in to any one of the alphabet news networks. Couldn’t get his fix there – send him an Us magazine. No… still not enough? Get your students to write an essay about it. What a loser.
Oh and the whole mentor thing is joke. I may be gullible but I’m not that gullible.
Lib BS to English translation: Go away and mind your own business.
Lib BS to English translation: Go away and mind your own business. Don’t bother us any more. Don’t you care about the economy?
It takes courage to boot somebody out the door for verbal and educational abuse because of the potential for litigation. I can see the attorney for Hallam claiming the punishment of firing would be disproportionate to the act committed by Hallam. Of course, this doesn’t take into account the student’s interests or concerns, but so what in the liberal swamp of higher academe. (This is the same type of argument used by liberals when it comes to war – namely that the response must be proportionate to the act. And, in this case, mentoring is proportionate to creating a hostile class environment.)
More and more people are abandoning the public schools for better education, and it is no wonder when you read about the decision here and so many more around the country.
I’m embarrassed …this used to be such an east coast /Chicago/ L.A. thing.

It will get worse.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a reign of terror in this country
That would show the Euros we’re very much like them, and want to be liked by them. Please like us!
…and pissed a little.
Toxic Boulder must have seeped thru the hogbacks and flatirons of the foothills and on to some in academia.
Or maybe Churchill had kids…blech.
It’s objectively true, Palin is not fit to be President, the colonials won the revolution, Neal Armstrong went to the moon. We hold these truths to be true.
Not likely. Even if he found a volunteer, the urge to kill the offspring would be more than they could bear.
After reading this and similar stories – It is time for me to “back away from the keyboard.”
Yup, I suppose they’ll bring in Bill Ayers as a “guest” faculty member to mentor him ala Obama style.
Another shining example of the left “investigating” wrong doings of the left. Once again the wolves are left to guard the hen house.
Look up objective. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Do you think they would have concluded that “discipline is not warranted” if he had assigned his students to write an essay that would contradict the fairy tale image of The One?
And Obama is fit to be president? Har – you must be a comdeian, lgm.
Then, obviously, neither is Obama, since he has less experience than she does, and definitely lacks her intelligence and ability to learn, He still hasn’t gotten past the Marxist idiocy he picked up 20 years ago. But then, neither have you.
Captain Louis Renault, Prefect of Police, Casablanca
There, fixed it.
This outcome is about what I’d expected.
Assigning a writing topic on a simultaneously popular and polarizing political candidate during an election year is acceptable — that’s where the college administration is coming from, and that’s hard to argue with.
Where they say the line needs to be drawn is in how the assignment is constructed, and there’s a recognition that the instructor in question crossed that line and needs adult supervision (i.e., “mentoring”) to help him avoid crossing it again.
If he learns his lesson, then the college has dealt with the problem without “Killing a spider with a meat-axe.” If he doesn’t learn, then it’ll be time for the college to take further action.
We’ll see if he learns.
While I vehemently disagree with your assessment that she isn’t fit – she’s not at the top of the ticket… she will be the VP.
And that barometer that you are using to measure her qualifications and it’s telling you that she isn’t fit try plugging Obama’s qualifications… the needle will be stuck at zero.
I believe Ayers is available to mentor morons.
And a Gov from Arkansas became President too.
Seems so. He mentored Obamessiah, for instance.
‘Objectively’, Obama shouldn’t have even been considered for VP: half-term freshman Senator with no executive experience, questionable associations, extremist views on abortion, …
This sounds like a skit from, Kids in the Hall.
Isn’t this reason alone for the guy to stop teaching the class altogether? How embarrassing. Imagine having to introduce the guy/girl sitting in the corner as “your teaching mentor”?
Is there no shame for this teacher? He’s an english teacher for cryin’ out loud. He should at least know what having a mentor makes him.
Yeah, and another governor who went to the obscure Eureka College and became president for two terms too.
post #1: “I wonder who the “faculty member to serve as his mentor” will be.”
Jeremiah Wright is looking for work since obummer dissed him!
Normally, we elect governors to the Presidency. Then one morning, I woke up in Bizarro World…
oh by the way, what was that peanut farmers name?
For those who don’t know, the other Governor who went to Eureka College and became President was Ronald Reagan.
lgm is such a
toolfool. BHO the “One” has zero managerial/Executive experience. He has never managed a budget, not even for a streetside lemonade stand (I’m sure the big MO does the home budget) and never negotiated anything. Get it? Zip, zilch, nada, not-a-thing-. Sarah Palin as Governor actually holds an Executive position, manages a $6 billion budget, 15,000 employees and negotiated a sweet deal for the AK citizens with the big oil company’s–and–has broken ranks with her party over corruption in AK. There’s some truth for ya, and not just opinion but actual facts.Palin has “just been a Mayor and a Governor”, rebuttle is stooopid when you consider how many Governors have become Presidents.
And someone with a history of defending slum-lords, shady community organization and not even a full term in the Senate is more qualified.
Only in Liberal America.
Fixed it for ya!
I believe thats a 6 billion dollar surplus. Budget 9 billion. Revenues 15 billion.
I am realizing again why I dont comment on here as much as I use too..
I’ll go off on the stupidity of LGM and get banned..
so I’ll just stop in from time to time
Objectively, GOV. Palin has more experience than SEN. Obama.
$6 billion, $9 billion, either way it tops a big fat $zero for BHO. But thanks for the correction. I should slow down sometimes in my haste to point out the moronic droolings of trolls like lgm.
And whatever community Obama “organized” was run into the ground. Not exactly a success story by any means. Why do you think the media won’t even cover that? Because it would make him look like a fool, that’s why.
Don’t worry, LGM’s hero Obama is likely soon to have 3 TRILLION of your money to spend.
Let’s all hope that prediction does not happen. Vote.

Embarrassed enough to make that call?
The Force is strong with this one.
There is a system in place here. A system which is the path to the top spot, totally controlled by the powers that be. Along comes Palin, who is not a product of the machine. She’s being attacked because if she succeeds, then the machine has lost its grip on who gets promoted and who doesn’t. Obama is a puppet; Palin is not! She is everything Obama is not. She is self-made; he’s been packaged and promoted. She’s the American dream; he’s the product of affirmative action. He’s arrogant and bitter; she’s not. This country under Obama is headed for the dumper.

Palin is just like Bush, Jr. . . . only 2 years into being Governer, she is the subject of major ethics investigations, has plunging approval ratings (in Alaska), and is making a fool of herself nationally whenever she tries to say anything substantive about anything.
It’s only a recomendation? Get some oxygen to that state pronto.
lgm,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so much for the laugh.
Here we go!
Palin is not running for POTUS – idiot. She is not even running for VP. She is not running for anything. She is the VP choice on the POTUS ticket. Gawd you are stoopid.
…and started a country based on religious principles away from an overtaxed socialist country.
…and there are still idiots like yourself that said it did not happen and the rest of you liberal dum-dums that concede we did go to the moon are still trying to find a way to make us pay a tax on it.
HAHHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAAAA “we hold these truths to be true”????
HAHHHAHHAHHAHAHHAAAAHHA You are such an idiot – that is self evident – right?
will states which are losing money due to our government induced depression find the spine to actually cut the budgets of colleges and other government institutions. try dismissing teachers aids so these high and mighty profs are forced to teach the classes, and allow the lousy profs to be fired. you know, like real americans.
The jerk professor got a slap on the wrist. The good news is that this story got out. Slowly but surely people are learning. Thanks MM.
lgm re: Obama and McCain have been running national campaigns for almost 2 years. Obama’s campaign is well run.
Well that is true, and the Authorities are investigating just how well run…
So the media tells us. The same media that is in the tank for Obama. How do you know its true? How would you know?
Of which she has been cleared.
So says the media, see above.
Clearly your own bigoted opinion.
Come back when you actualy have something of value. BTW can you finaly tell us how Obama is going to pay for about 3 trillion in spending he plans?
lgm said: and i
s makinga I make a fool of myself nationally wheneversheI tries to say anything substantive about anything.As usual, the lies are spewing all over the place. According to an Anchorage Daily news on October 1, 2008, Palin’s approval rating was 68%. Please tell me what other governor in this country enjoys that kind of approval rating? Maybe Governor Bobby Jindal, but I haven’t checked. That is hardly a plunging approval rating.
Let’s compare those approval ratings to those in congress, shall we?
The so-called ethics investigation was ONE investigation that was partisan driven to the max. She broke no laws.
Making a fool of herself? Really? How? Like Biden who doesn’t know the US History, and claims only folks with Indian accents visit 7-11s, and tells a man who is paraplegic to stand up!
Yea, who’s making a fool of themselves now?
I do not think that running a campaign is what we mean by executive experience. I’m more in favor of Governor, Mayor, For-Profit Corporate Executive, etc. Maybe even Executive Officer in a Naval Aviation Squadron. Not a legislator or a candidate.
If you can’t be held accountable for the results, then there is no executive experience. That’s why the media won’t talk about his non-productive Chicago grants, his “present” votes, and his time with the foundations.
lgm:
Major ethics investigations? Who are you parroting this from, LMAO. Her MAJOR ethics investigation that she didnt control her husband calling up some man that was protecting a Trooper that was stun-gunning an 11 year old and making death threats against a family. (WHEN do liberals ever defend Law Enforcement, jeez o peet). Major Ethics violations is about as far off as saying Biden knows Article I from Article II in the Constitution.
Palin is not Bush junior, that is a major insult. Palin is her own woman, but if any connection would have to be made to a former President it would be Reagan.
Admit it lgm, you are a sexist. You think she is dumb (sooo far off base) because you fear a strong woman. Just say it!!!! Liberals are more comforable with woman who whine and cry and play little victims, take there clothes off and shoot out vulgarities left and right. Why? Because they can dismiss them at any times relative to their immoral behaivors.
Palin gives you nothing. So what do you do? the Liberal patriarcs say she is Dumb.
Your are living in a world of inadequacy because Liberalism has made you a wimpy little male.
Go grab your pacifier, lgm.
Take a hike.
Thanks. Saved me the trouble.
lgm, using a stun gun on a young boy is TORTURE. Surely you must be outraged.
Note to LGM, yes her approval went down, but she currently has a higher approval rating than McCain, Obama, and Biden. It also only went down after the DNC started attacking her with lies. She is now at 64%
LGM, What’s congress’ approval rating?
I, for one, am outraged. She should have shot him and lashed some moose horns on his head.
Sorry calamity – If this kid had been an Islamic Fascist with a beard and a Koran, Lgm would would think it Torture.
To him, Children are just the ones that “got away” from some sterilized fork at Planned Parenthood.
Liberals are completely absent of any objectivity.
How would the university have reacted if he’d talked about, say, the Hildabeast this way?
lgm. You quote me but you refute nothing, zero, nada that I said. You are pitiful. BHO has only actually sat in his senate seat for about 143 days (plus/minus). McCain has served in both Houses of Congress since 1982. BHO is running for POTUS and not VPOTUS. The pathetic “Palin is just like Bush, Jr. . .” whimper is so silly and such a tired cliché. “Major ethics investigation”? That’s over and it was more like a cap going off rather than major. Why don’t you try on the criminal investigation going on regarding BHO’s ACORN in a dozen plus states, or convicted felon (and bud of BHO) Tony Rezco? You gettin’ tired yet lgm? Palin’s approval ratings? Around 68% or so. Hmm, hardly bad at all given that Congress controlled by BHO’s dem party is hovering in the low teens. “…and is making a fool of herself nationally whenever she tries to say anything substantive about anything”. Examples please. Are ya outta breath oh silly, yet fun to chastise one? Try again, simply push the reset button on your left-ist temple.
lgm is threaten by strong women with values. People like lgm want their neat little world of preconceived images to be maintained. A strong conservative woman as in Palin doesn’t fit that world. Lgm is into math because of it’s secure boundaries. I have a little surprise for you lgm. Check out wave theory functions in quantum mechanics. There is no secure world.
Oh, and that so-called 14 point lead in that CBS poll?
Well, of course! If you had this kind of breakdown in those surveyed, what would you expect?
38% – Registered Democrats
30% – Registered Republicans
31% – Registered Independents
Anything to skew the results in Odumbo’s favor. By the way, skewed polls with CBS/NYTs goes back a long history. Just Google it and you’ll see.
DO NOT BELIEVE THE POLLS!!!!

Actually, the professor in question could have had an interesting academic exercise if he had assigned his students to write two papers:
1. Write an essay that would contradict “the fairy tale image of Palin” as presented at the Republican National Convention.
2. Write an essay that would contradict “the fairy tale image of Obama” as presented at the Democratic National Convention.
I had an openly liberal English prof, who could morph into Karl Marx or Richard Nixon and argue the same point from both perspectives. I found the course enlightening and refreshing. He gave me an “A” on a conservative paper I wrote and said he did not personally agree with my position, but thought my logic and conclusions were very well formed and supported by facts.
But my prof was teaching, not preaching. Therein, lies the difference.
lgm – im an idependant thinker and a registered independant conservative. I dont care for Bush, but Kerry was a nightmare and so was Gore.
I wouldnt make it in Liberal Hollywood with these values.
I’m always amused when the lefties try and put down a Republican with the Bush comparison and the poor approval ratings he carries with him, rightfully so IMO. But they always stop there, not wanting to delve further into ratings, such as Bush’s ratings low as they are, are higher than the “most ethical congress in history”…led of course by democrapically controlled House and Senate.
Here is something I saw quoted and I knew it was a reference to the above link about Davis…even though it was used in a different context.
In Obama’s book, Dreams from My Father, there is a strange revelation, perhaps intended as a signal of Davis’ stamp on Obama’s socialist creds. Obama makes this odd observation:
that’s racist…as Bill Clinton could tell you. that’s probably why they used on the Palin idea.
Thank you class for being on time. I, Professor of Knowledge AmmoTroop, will once again try to illustrate to you what we in the faculty of Conservative U humorously refer to as “The Workings of the Liberal Mind.” I’m sure you all appreciate the multiple oxymorons in that statement… let’s continue.
Let’s look at the statement “The Colonials won the revolution.” As everyone knows, The Colonials are the NCAA basketball team of George Washington University, and even considering their win/loss record it may be more accurate to say that the 18th century British Army lost the war to the 21st century college sports team.
During the Revolutionary War, rarely more than 40% of the population was actively revolting against the British Government. The majority; Loyalists, Tories, King’s Men, and Neutrals refrained from the war or supported the British, much in the way that liberals today support terrorists in our fight against terror. In addition the British colonies in Canada and the French colonies of the south west (Louisiana) did not participate, nor did any colonies of the Caribbean, nor any of the Spanish colonies of the south and west.
All in all it’s easy to say that this statement by lgm is about as accurate as a 3 point shot from the parking lot. The revolutionaries won the Revolutionary War, will fly, but saying the ‘colonists won the war’ is like saying that ‘the liberals brought down Saddam Hussein.’ – there’s a potential for accuracy there, but don’t count on it.
Let’s look at lgm’s statement “Neal Armstrong went to the moon.” this is known as “Accuracy by accident”. Of course Neal Armstrong went to the moon, then again so did James Lovell, in fact Commander Lovell went to the moon twice. The main difference is that Neal Armstrong landed on the moon, explored its surface, collected scientific data, and safely returned to Earth with that data intact.
So why didn’t lgm say “Neal Armstrong landed on the moon”? Lets keep in mind that the subspecies Homo Foilus Hattus aka ‘Conspiracy Monger’ is genetically very very close to the liberal subspecies, and like many social scientists I believe it’s physically impossible for the Conspiracy Monger to admit that Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. Saying “Neil Armstrong went to the moon” puts the efforts of Neil Armstrong and thousands of American scientists and workers in the same boat as Russian workers who simply splattered a few pounds of pigiron into the surface of the moon (Luna 7) and called the mission successful.
We call lgm’s statement “Sarah Palin is not fit to be president” “Truth by imagination.” The speaker, lgm, wishes it to be so, and wishes so much for it to be true, that in the world she’s constructed for herself it is true, all evidence to the contrary. The speaker, lgm, has completely ignored the fact that Sarah Palin isn’t running for president. Setting that aside, lgm has completely ignored the fact that Sarah Palin is actually more politically ready to lead the country than Joe Biden, Barak Hussein Obama, and John McCain combined. None of them have any leadership experience what so ever, while Governor Palin is the Governor of the largest state in the union and the only civilian Commander In Chief of a full time military unit other than the sitting president (The Alaskan National Guard is a full time unit) In addition Governor Palin has shown much more abilities in international relations than John Kerry, Al Gore, Michael Dukakis, and Jimmy Carter combined. What she doesn’t have is a penis, and for that the liberal left is crucifying her with lies, distortions, and anything that comes to mind other than the truth.
As for lgm’s final statement “We hold these truths to be true” this is a misquote of a line written by Thomas Jefferson; We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Sit back and read this simple document sometime lgm, I’m positive you will be educated.
And no, I’m not going to tell anybody what this document is, because if you don’t know, you don’t belong on this board. People like myself who dedicated my life to its principals, and people like Michelle’s parents who risked it all for the concepts of this document hold it the second most important document on earth.
Of course lgm misquoted that line, it was written by Thomas Jefferson, and if Thomas Jefferson could see what has happened to his party, and how they were treating an elected Governor of a state, for once in their lives he would insure that the liberal democrats of this generation would experience ‘shame’ – an alien concept to them.

…and the is Miss feebiebabe to you!
I believe the phrase is “we hold these truths to be self evident.” Isn’t it Neil Armstrong?
That aside, do you really think that your jaundiced eye is a good measure of Palin’s abilities? I hope your research is more objective than your politics.
Secondly, do you realize that every attack on the abilities and experience of Palin instantly bring to mind Obama’s deficiencies in those same areas. Not subjective deficiencies, but the objective kind that the media still refuses to report while jumping all over Palin rumors.
Do you even realize that the top of your ticket is constantly compared to the bottom of ours, and your candidate pales in comparison?
Keep it up! You are doing our work for us, even at a subconscious level!
False premise based on the assumption that the MSM is being objective in its analysis of Obama’s consistency and honesty on a variety of subjects.
It’s easy to look brilliant when you can make the lame excuses Obama has given regarding past associations, past voting record, and numerous position changes, because he can always depend on cover from the MSM.
He can fabricate at will with no consequence. That does not take a whole lot of skill.
Wanna have a few laughs? ask a nitwit Obama supporter if “the one” (the dopey one) were the republican nominee would you vote for him? Then sit back watch em squirm and squiggle an answer that sounds like one of Obama’s stutterfest when confronted on say… abortion…..

Joy,
Luv ya but I think he is not laughing at all. On the other hand I, like FamilyMan, am holding my sides from a gut busting laugh. Sorry!
Who can clear a stoppage on an M4 the fastest? McCain, Palin, Obama or Biden?
Palin. Thus, Palin is clearly best qualified to be Commander in Chief, unless you believe Close Air Support is a more important measurement. Then the nod goes to McCain.
Any questions?
Flyoverman: To be fair, an M4 is fairly easy to clear. Not that Obama would know that.
The silly one lgm tried a feeble attempt to respond to my earlier first reply to his rant but could muster not a single fact. I am the one laughing as well with FamMan and OMSB, among many others I am sure.
I mean no offense to anyone.
My point is LGM never has any facts. We all know that. He posts some absolute nonsense and look at the rest of the thread. Over 90% of the responses after that are all directed at him.
I suppose if this is your form of entertainment, I can’t do anything to stop it. But it sure does get tiresome seeing this happen day after day, post after post.
That’s why I say he’s laughing. He has complete control over MM’s site as soon as he utters his nonsense. And it’s the same old nonsense from day to day. He has no intention of answering you. He simply wants to antagonize you and control the discussion. No doubt in my mind he’s laughing.
It is too difficult to wade through the remaining comments to find something on-topic that responds to what Michelle Malkin said.
tks aj, now that’s funny and so true.
“Bernie, I’ve got to go away for a little while.”
“Where dost thou goest, dearest William?”
“Someone in Colorado is in need of mentoring. I have volunteered to help.”
“Don’t forget to take a copy of To Teach!”
sambo – not to split hairs, but Davis is part of the Communist Party, he’s a communitst, not a socialist. (Like there is a difference these days).
Hi AJ – Hi Soap!!!
Such is the nature of a comment board. Until such a time as Michelle sees fit to put an end to his trolling, people here will respond to him.
I admit that some of us, myself included, sometimes hope to provoke a more substantial response from him rather than his typical talking points. We know down deep that this is fruitless, but such is the lot of the optimist.
Like Soap said, we’re laughing at his posts and many of the responses to them, not controlled by it. On the big topics, you’ll notice that he is typically more ignored as we’re much more interested in the topic thread. On this topic, well, there’s not much more to be said than Michelle already noted. Most of us have given up on public education ever becoming more objective.
YO feebz-sizzle!
Joy,
I was the leader of the
I G N O R E
H I M
movement. It went nowhere. I begged and pleaded for people to ignore him to no avail. Yes, lgm is boring. Yes, he thread-jacks, lies, insults Michelle, cannot make a point, cannot present facts… I got tired of trying to get people to ignore The Idiot so, I took the, “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” stance and have been hammering The Idiot every chance I get. Come into the light! Join us for troll bashing fun. There is a secret society that gives out a cookie to the winner every month! Must be why I have gained 10 pounds in the past few months!
To those few who aren’t aware, that line comes from the Declaration of Independance.
” We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. “
Here’s another inspiring line from that great Document…
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
MrVibeman,
I am sorry, you cannot use Creator, its too Christian.
Also, Unalienable sounds too much like Alien, as in Illegal Alien. Could you strike that too…
It tends to offend people, we wouldn’t want to cause a commotion, would we?
