Well again the Assembly misses a chance to do the right thing.
Have the rest of you just about gotten to the end of your rope with this bunch?
I hope the Assembly members enjoy their vacation while this nut teaches this crap to our young people and tries to turn them into traitors and nuts like this wacko.
Where is the leadership? Are they all cowards?
Don't mess with the UW system?
Boy, do we need Mark Green and we need him soon!
I know he can lead us where our so-called leadership will not.
This poor-soul above made the heartbreaking decision to jump from one of the twin towers because of the nut-case terrorist, and now another nut-case from Madison wants to give them a pass and blame it on Americans. Sounds like the nut-job from Madison wants a book deal or a movie deal. It is up to us to stop this foolishness now. Make some noise and let our voices be heard.

Assembly doesn't take up Barrett issue
Madison - Members of the state Assembly did not take up a resolution denouncing the teachings of a University of Wisconsin-Madison lecturer who argues that the U.S. government
orchestrated the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and demanding his dismissal.
Rep. Steve Nass (R-Whitewater) had wanted a vote on the resolution condemning Kevin Barrett's theories about 9-11 and criticizing UW-Madison Provost Patrick Farrell's decision to allow Barrett to teach a course on Islam at the university this fall.
Farrell said Monday that after a review of Barrett's records and course materials, he should be allowed to teach.Members of the Legislature didn't want to delve into a hot political issue on a day when it was supposed to be in session on limited business, said Majority Leader Mike Huebsch (R-West Salem).
said they didn't think the resolution had enough support to be brought to the floor; a two-thirds vote would have been required.Nass said he would continue to circulate the resolution and also send it to Barrett, members of the Board of Regents, UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley and University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly.
He said he will continue to press the issue."This is a no-brainer among the public . . . and the university is simply hoping this whole thing will blow away," Nass said.
Barrett said he understands the politics behind Nass' efforts but doesn't think that lawmakers have a place in dictating teaching decisions at the university.
"It's ridiculous to put so much pressure on the University of Wisconsin over an $8,000-a-year lecturer teaching one class with a tiny, small part of the class being about the war on terror," Barrett said
What is more ridiculous is making up something as stupid as Barrett has and teaching it as fact! Or even dumber is this University allowing it. They should all be fired by the taxpayers who support their wages.
