TagsTagsJuan Cole writes a piece for Salon comparing Sarah Palin to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (yes, really), and gets our coveted Dumb Article of the Week prize: Sarah Palin, meet Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It’s striking what Cole leaves out of his comparisons; since he’s going for the over-the-top smear anyway, I would have expected ...
The irrelevant online magazine Salon is leading the charge to smear Sarah Palin, with two absolutely disgusting articles today, one by Islamic apologist Juan Cole comparing Palin to “Muslim fundamentalists:” What’s the difference between Palin and Muslim fundamentalists? Lipstick. Interesting that Cole seems to think this is a negative comparison, when ...

Here’s University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer, co-author of “The Israel Lobby,” interviewed by Andrew Marcus at the YearlyKos convention, explaining that Iran is not at war with the United States and that we need to work with them—because, after all, they’re only killing a tiny percentage of US soldiers ...
Also at the YearlyKos convention: a panel featuring an all-star cast of anti-war Jew-haters and wacademics, led by Juan “Ahmadinejad was mistranslated” Cole, and co-starring John “Jews control the US” Mearsheimer: Daily Kos: Juan Cole Leads Iraq Panel at YearlyKos. Last year we had a video clip showing Mearsheimer appearing at ...
Just realized I forgot to note that anti-Israel wacademic Juan Cole will not be teaching at Yale after all; I believe Power Line was first to report it: No teacher for Taliban Man. (Hat tip: LGF readers.) Inside Higher Ed has reactions from Cole’s colleagues in the wacademy, at least one ...
Iowahawk’s been dumpster-diving again, in the alley behind the University of Michigan College of Liberal Arts, and he’s come up with the first draft of Professor Juan Cole’s response to Christopher Hitchens: Juan Cole, the First Draft. Christopher Hitchens owes me a big apology. And a free two liter bottle of ...
Juan Cole responds to Christopher Hitchens, with a lengthy, excruciatingly incoherent rant calling Hitchens a drunk, including gruesome photos of combat injuries, and concluding with, “One, two, three, four. We don’t want your stinking war!” Yes, really. UPDATE at 5/3/06 1:00:45 pm: The Kos Kidz are lapping it up: Daily Kos: Juan Cole ...
Christopher Hitchens has an excellent piece at Slate on the dishonest apologetics of anti-Israel wacademic Juan Cole—who is trying to promulgate the falsehood that Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did not say Israel should be “wiped off the map:” What Iran’s leaders are really saying about Israel. (Hat tip: Allah.) UPDATE at ...
Anti-Israel wacademic Juan Cole (lgf: search) has put up a petition to support the Walt-Mearsheimer paper The Israel Lobby. He’s a big fan of the paper, if you hadn’t already guessed. Here’s where you can read the signatures, and even leave a note of your own to show how much you ...

John Fund reports that Yale may be about to ditch former Taliban ambassador Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi—but in another almost unbelievable move, they’re considering hiring notorious anti-Israel wacademic Juan Cole: Cole Fire. In the next few days the university may hire Juan Cole, a history professor at the University of Michigan, to ...
The Washington Post reports that Negative Perceptions Of Islam Are Increasing. (Hat tip: Ed Mahmoud.) The Post seems to think it’s entirely because of prejudice and “demonization,” and not at all because of beheadings, suicide bombings, insane conspiracy theories, antisemitism, misogyny, death threats, airplanes flown into buildings, and other minor annoyances. Get ...
