"Women and the African-American church�get them behind the keyboard, and you�ll unleash a thunderous counterpunch to the gun lovers� old one-two." Wake me up when that happens. Please don't be too disappointed when absolutely nothing changes - except, of course, for more concealed carry laws to pass. I personally think the existing gun laws need to be strictly enforced. That just isn't happening right now. But I'm another one who is generally not in favor of more restrictions on citizens to purchase guns lawfully (provided they get a background check, don't have a criminal record, etc). But just politically speaking, this …

Maybe black churches should be focusing their efforts on getting their youth into the pews every Sunday instead of being liberal PR machines with a gun agenda? Maybe they could try to pass on values that would help to stem the tide of gun violence, teenage pregnancy, declining graduation rates, etc? Gun violence is a horrific thing in the inner-city, and I completely understand what the author would want to see accomplished. But it just doesn't make sense with the way she wants to do it. Those "white, suburban males" just aren't causing the problem. And everybody knows it.

Interesting article. For readers interested in reading about Mr. Finkelstein you could also try reading an article from the other side (and then deciding for yourself who is right). Steven Plaut, from FrontPageMag, is definitely right-wing. But at least he provides specifics and links to other info. Nobody should ever be worried about reading both sides of an argument (unless, of course, you could be wrong). http://frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID={7868B71F-71A2-4547-AF70-02C9929C4A2D}

Probably important to know exactly what kinds of things the ex-assistant professor said. And why DePaul, and every other college where he was employed previously, canned the guy.

Looks like FrontPageMag doesn't like hot links (seems a little suspicious). Try googling it if you want to read the various articles by Plaut on Finkelstein. Pretty easy to find. Or just look up any Neo-Nazi website, he's quoted pretty extensively by them for obvious reasons. Same with Anti-Jewish Islamic websites. It's fairly obvious why Salim likes the guy and why, of course, DePaul was the latest university to fire the nutjob.
