History Dept.: Palin Connected to Hate Groups
The chair of the Connecticut College history department, Catherine McNicol Stock, has suggested that Sarah Palin is somehow associated with Pacific Northwest hate groups such as Posse Comitatus and the Aryan Nations.

Her proof? Well, because Palin lived in areas with low "diversity." I kid you not. Here is the professor's "learned thesis" presented in a Philadelphia Inquirer opinion column melodramatically titled, "Intolerance thrives in Palin's Pacific Northwest" ...

Palin 'Inflicts' Her Religion on US, She's 'Not a Woman'
Wendy Doniger is a columnist for Newsweek's "On Faith" beat and is also the Mircea Eliade Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Religions at the University of Chicago. But that doesn't seem to have made her less of a wiled-eyed Republican hater, unfortunately. That her hate is directed at Governor Sarah Palin also shows that these sorts of women aren't interested in helping strong women to public influence but only their kind of ideologue is acceptable.

"I object strongly when anyone (and especially anyone with political power) tries to take their theology out in public, to inflict those private religious (or sexual) views on other people. In both sex and religion (which combine in the debates about abortion), Sarah Palin's views make me fear that the Republican party has finally lost its mind."
You see, Sarah Palin has never"inflicted" her religious views on the public. Naturally, we see that this slanderous septuagenarian obviously has nothing but hatred for those Republicans she is so fearful of and she has allowed her superstitions to overtake any sense of reality or reason...

Metro State Prof Investigated For Palin Assignment
Metro State College is investigating a professor who asked students to write an essay critical of Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin. One student said the instructor singled out Republican students in the class and allowed others to ridicule them.

"I was shocked, I was holy cow, this is just an open door for him to discuss politics with us,"
Barber shared the first class assignment with CBS4. Instructor Andrew Hallam asked students to write an essay to contradict what he called the 'fairy tale image of Palin' presented at the Republican National Convention.

Metro State officials are investigating claims of bias, harassment and bullying. Hallam declined an interview with CBS4. He has revised the assignment.
