Michelle Malkin: The strange tales of Paul Mirecki |
From the article:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Paul Mirecki -- the Kansas University religious studies professor who
derided Christian fundamentalists as "fundies" -- is a strange man
with strange tales of alleged persecution. Contrary to his knee-jerk
defenders on the Left, it is not bigoted, hateful, or intolerant for
me to scrutinize his story.
It's rational.
The professor first created controversy in November after penning an
unhinged e-mail message expressing his desire to deliver a "slap" to
the "big fat face" of the "fundies" by teaching an intelligent design
course "as a religious studies class under the category 'mythology.'"
The message was sent to the mailing list of the university's Society
of Open-Minded (snort!) Atheists and Agnostics. Mirecki signed his
taunting diatribe "Evil Dr. P." These are the words of an individual
more than a few cards short of a full deck.
After his remarks were publicized, KU cancelled the proposed course.
Mirecki was forced to apologize. And then, out of the blue, It
Happened.
Last week, Mirecki claimed he was beaten by two mysterious white men
on a rural highway. He says the unidentified assailants, in a pickup
that tailgated him in rural Douglas County, Kansas, targeted him for
his views while he was "taking a long, pre-dawn drive in the country
to clear his mind," according to the student newspaper. Mirecki says
he pulled over to the side of the road to let the men pass. He then
said he got out of his vehicle. The alleged attackers got out of their
truck and beat "the hell" out of him, reportedly using a "metal
object," Mirecki said last week before abruptly clamming up about the
attack and sequestering himself in his house.

They are the words of somebody fed up to the back teeth with having to dig
through piles of horse-***** trying to do their job.
