I was wondering how they would respond to the Amy Bishop thing..

[terry]

Total moonbat teacher goes nuts, possibly over being denied tenure..

I can only find one thread

link

and it avoids any discussion of the nature of the beast.

Boston Herald

"A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children - the youngest a third-grade boy - was a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama to the point of being off-putting".

[Karin]

Just 3 short, inconsequential replies and no more.  She is one of them.  Moonbat Obamabot.  Look at all the mental illness over there...that one chick having a bipolar/menopausal "moment" which made her husband run for the hills, never to return.   

[AllosaursRus]

Dollars to dougnuts she's a member. That's the reason for the silence.

Gotta agree with you.  Matter of fact, I've got the office moonbat, an Obot, over my shoulder as I type this, denying the whole thing as a "right-wing agenda."

[bijou]

To be fair they haven't ignored it, although there is a lot of crazy in the many threads they have on it. link

Ahh I didn't look back far enough.  I didn't realize it happened on Friday.

She's locked up for capital murder, so won't be able to bond out. That's too bad, because it would be great if she could log on and let us know her DUmp username. I'm sure the DUmmies suspect she's one of them. I don't recognize her from their picture threads but she fits the DUmmy template to a T.

You could have Lebron James' kind of money and you STILL wouldn't be able to buy that kind of crazy.

If she gets to death row then that woman who is always taking out an onion for  death row prisoners will be posting like mad about her.

[The Village Idiot]

Maybe her DU name is Untenured?

[Karin]

Bijou's link shows a list of related threads.  The most recent has zero comments.  The second on the list blames guns and gun owners and gun permits.  The third is hilarious:  Forkboy's involved and it's a series of "what do you think?" "I'm not saying, what do you think?"  "You're just going to heckle me."  "You're a troll."  "You don't have any guts to give an honest answer."  and on and on and on until it gets locked for being flamebait.

Also, some newbie had this to say:

32. Spoiled Rotten Rich Bitch
 Uh-huh. If this was a poor black woman she would still be in prison for shooting her brother, never mind trying to bomb some other fellow and shooting some more. The system let her off because she is nothing but a spoiled rotten rich bitch. Waste of time to psychologize about this. It's racist, it's classist, it's just SOP.

oh noes.  someone's asking for the granite pizza.

I thought that was funny too

[DumbAss Tanker]

There is no doubt in my mind that she was a member of KOS if not DU to boot, she may have been too introverted to post anything that could ever be run back to her, or she may have let the crazy out to play and gotten banned at some point.

The easiest thing would be to try to find a Photobucket account or something similar, and then find where it has been linked to.  - that is if one is interested in 'snooping' on a potential primitive.

[TheSarge]

You can bet your last dime on the fact that every Left wing Libtard website in the country is scouring their member lists as we speak to make sure that Ms. Bishop either was never or is now not a member of their website.

Further I'd be willing to bet that the first words from $kimmers mouth was "oh sh*t" followed by a rush to his computer to start checking the member list data base.

Oh I guaranDamnTeeYa, she is a member of one of the sites "we will always name"! Heh!

[littlelamb]

I was thinking what spin they are going to put on it if she is on it

Here's their most desperate response to Amy Bishop yet:

The guy that shot the Hooters waitress was a Neil Boortz's fan.

It seems that some DUmmies are trying to justify or excuse her actions based on the problems of getting tenure.

Thoughts on tenure
   
There may be a problem with the whole tenure system. My son is a PhD candidate in biology, so he is aware of some of the pitfalls in the system. In his opinion, being denied tenure would mean that Amy Bishop's career, at age 45, was essentially over. A tenure denial would probably have meant that no top school would touch her, and that she would never reach her full potential. One of my son's undergrad profs was denied tenure, and ended up teaching at a community college. And while that is still a career in academia, it means fewer opportunities for research, for grants, for publication.

Interestingly enough, my son also mentioned the grad students who may have been working on her projects. They will all probably have to start over, too, and that's no small thing for them. My son has already put four years into work on his degree, and he still has a couple of years to go.

For those of you who are more 'in the know about this' than me, what do all think of the whole tenure systemf? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7731158

Of course they are. They're a bunch of

Geez....SIX years working on a PhD.........most normal candidates could have earned two in that time.......further, most doctorial committees place time limits on candidates......typically four years, if you can't write and defend your thesis in that time, you just ain't doctorial timber.

He's thirty-five, living in her basement for free. Several of those years were spent "fixin' to think about" getting a degree. My guess is it will be a lot more than two years before he completes his education.
