Fresno State Professor Who Said ‘Trump Must Hang’ Apologizes Profusely, Flees Fresno


Another "anti-fascist" proves he is the fascist! The only people who want to abolish democracy are Marxists and Islamists, who seem to run our universities.

Fresno State Professor Who Said ‘Trump Must Hang’ Apologizes Profusely, Flees Fresno

The professor, Lars Maischak, composed the tweets around the end of February. The tweets called for Trump to “hang” in order to “save American democracy.” “The sooner and the higher, the better.” The only “cure” for racist people is a bullet to their head, the tweets also said. Maischak used hashtags including “#TheResistance” and “#DeathToFascism.”

The history professor further suggested the need to “ban the @GOP” because “a democracy must not be tolerant of those who want to abolish democracy.”

Maischak is now facing an investigation by the Secret Service. He has offered his complete cooperation, he said.

Gee what a surprise! A, no doubt, left wing professor from Calimexifornia calls for violence against the President of the United States! LOL What a shock!

But professor of WHAT? We are a Republic, not a democracy. If we were in fact a democracy, then that evil @#@# in a pantsuit would be sitting in the Oval Office now.

reply

A democracy is not the opposite of a republic. There are in fact, democratic republics.

reply

Didn't mean to imply that they are opposites, just not the same. Nowhere does the word 'democracy' appear in our founding documents, not in the Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence.

The Pledge of Allegiance is "..and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands..."

Our Founding Fathers feared a democracy which they equated with mob rule. You know the joke, A democracy is three wolves and one lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

It just bothers me when supposedly educated professors throw the term democracy around when they don't know what they are talking about.

reply

Sure, they are not the same. A republic can be demoratic, oligarchical, tyrannical, theocratical. As long as offices of state, including the head of state, are elected or appointed, rather than inherited (as is the case with a monarchy).

I'm not American but as I understand it, the founders of the US were against a direct/pure democracy. But, in theory at least, the US is very much an indirect/representitive democracy as state officials are elected by the people to represent them. So the US is a republic AND a democracy.

What is a Republic?

reply

lol. if it was a republican senator saying this, nobody would even bother to mention it. hypocrites.

only a democrats would be so weak to apologize for this, after everything that has been said from the other side in the last 10 years.

reply

A Republican Senator? What are you talking about? This was a college professor! This is "higher education"? Some nitwit spouting his views when he is paid to TEACH? Hypocrites?? Seriously? Can you imagine the sh#tstorm if some Republican suggested something so stupid? That Pres. Obama should hang? Come on! You couldn't criticize Obama's POLICIES without the label of RACIST being slapped on you!

Democrats are "weak"??? You apparently haven't been keeping up with the news for the last forty years. (you must be a college student or at least no older than thirty). The Democrat Party apologizes for NOTHING! They act like they are entitled to be in power. When they lose elections they pee in their pants while screaming that the "other party" must reach across the aisle and "share" the power. BOO HOO, it aint fair that we lost an election, so you folks have to make some concessions.

"Can you imagine the sh#tstorm if some Republican suggested something so stupid? That Pres. Obama should hang?"

did you miss the last 8 years? happened often enough and as usual nothing happened.

"When they lose elections they pee in their pants while screaming that the "other party" must reach across the aisle and "share" the power."

again it seems like you missed the last 8 years of republicans crying about and namecalling obama.

and yes, they are weak. always letting themselves get bullied and cheated. that's the problem of trying to be the socially responsive one: you are bound to at least a minimum of fairness, which is something the other side does not have to abide to.

reply

I seriously do NOT remember anyone on the right suggesting physical violence on Pres. Obama. Sheesh! If anyone suggrested that he may not have been born in the USA , they were called a racist.

When have the Democrats NOT acted like they are the party in power, even when they are not? They immediately start doing the old "reaching across the aisle" to compromise whenever they lose an election. When they win however, it's a different story! It's "tough ,we won, WE have the mandate."

Please don't think I mean that as a criticism though. I am actually envious that the Democrats know HOW to be in power and how to wield it. The Repubs, on the other hand, act like a bunch of weenies who are sorry that they won!

What's the "socially responsive" thing though? Trump wants to build a wall and secure our borders. THAT'S not socially responsive? The Democrat run cities like L.A. and Chicago want to be "sanctuaries" for any law breaking illegal who crosses our borders. That's socially responsive? I am not too clear on what you mean.

Your memory is not so good, there were a number of congress and senate people who made snide coded remarks about how some unnamed other wackos should take action.

I am not going to do your work for you, but here is one of them:

Washington (CNN)Former Rep. Joe Walsh -- under fire for a deleted tweet saying "This is now war" against President Barack Obama following the killings of Dallas police officers -- defended his rhetoric Friday.

Walsh, a former tea party congressman from Illinois and now a conservative talk radio host, tweeted in the wake of the Dallas shootings, "3 Dallas Cops killed, 7 wounded. This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you."
