An Art Institute of Washington professor recently declared that House Republicans “should be lined up and shot” for their passage of an Obamacare-replacement bill.
“They should be lined up and shot,” Professor John Griffin posted to his Facebook, according to a screenshot of the post obtained by Campus Reform, even clarifying that he wasn’t being hyperbolic, saying “that’s not hyperbole; blood is on their hands.”

In a rational America, this university professor would be tried and convicted of treason, incitement to murder and sedition. But in left-wing America, he’ll be made Dean.
Prof: House GOP ‘should be lined up and shot’
Professor John Griffin even clarified that his words were “not hyperbole,” explaining that “blood is on their hands” for passing an Obamacare-replacement bill.
The professor later apologized for his language after being contacted by Campus Reform, conceding it was “inappropriate.”

“They should be lined up and shot,” Professor John Griffin posted to his Facebook, according to a screenshot of the post obtained by Campus Reform, even clarifying that he wasn’t being hyperbolic, saying “that’s not hyperbole; blood is on their hands.”
In another post made just two minutes after his initial comments, Griffin blasted Republican lawmakers as “a fucking joke,” then turning his attention to their voters, whom he insulted as running “the gamut from monstrous to ignorant.”
Campus Reform reached out to the Art Institute of Washington for comment on Griffin’s claims, though multiple inquiries went unanswered.
Griffin himself did not respond to Campus Reform’s inquiries either, though his Facebook page states that he has been a professor at the institute since 2006, which is confirmed by the school’s academic catalog for the 2016-2017 year, listing Griffin as a full-time professor in the Media Arts and Animation Department.
After Campus Reform reached out to Griffin for comment, he edited the post to express his contrition for the “language [he] had used,” noting that he has a “pre-existing condition” that “without proper treatment, will eventually kill [him].”
“The feeling of helplessness and fear that came from watching Congress’ treatment of Americans in situations like mine, and worse, led to my lashing out on social media in a way that was rash, untoward, and anathema to the way I wish to conduct myself,” he continued. “I regret my words. I regret the fear that stoked them.”

“They should be lined up and shot,” Professor John Griffin posted to his Facebook [account]
When someone expresses such a thing, I always ask, will you wield the blade or will you hire someone?
Yes, and no one would wonder how the expression, “talk is cheap” was conceived.
Let’s just say that there are many people–tens of millions, perhaps–who have not come to grips with (accepted) the President Donald Trump.
read this NEXT carefully.
I don’t accept the bar that President Trump set when he was running for President
I don’t accept the bar that President Trump set when he was running for President.
I don’t accept the bar that President Trump set when he was running for President.
Period.
None of that gives me license to behave as the Leftists’ have.
There you have an example of the difference between the Leftist and the Conservative (Constitutional).
Now, who is to blame (responsible) for the perpetuation of the Leftists’ behavior?
Look in the mirror.
This is akin to a Law of Gravity: it’s not negotiable, though you may skirt it’s effects temporarily by invention (airplane).

The United States is likely headed for another Civil war. The hatred shown by the left in this nation cannot be appeased without bloodshed. Of course- the University can fore this hate filled professor advocating murdering his political opponents, but I think it quite unlikely. It’s more likely the university staff and administration believe the same fate should happen to the “America first” crowd.
This is something that the no borders crowd never seems to understand: where did countries come from? They came from people who could stand one another fighting. These fools want world government when they can barely stand people within their own country who are from the same culture as theirs.

Any stupid fool can now become a “professor” must redefine that to “professor of abject t stupidity and criminal inclination”. The ivy towers are now mausoleums where dead ideas are kept and recycled into stupid ones.
Mahou,
You must admit that there is none more qualified to present stupidity as an art form than today’s crop of loony liberal college “professors”.
Well, possibly the Hollywood self proclaimed “elite”.
If the GOP has blood on its hands—it doesn’t—it’ll have to get in line behind Obama and Hillary so the professor can execute them first.
Between the people who can no longer get Obamacare because it’s going bankrupt, the veterans who died waiting for help at the VA, the 22 service personnel who daily comitted suicide because they were demoralized by Obama’s disgraceful micromanagement of the military, the shamefully abandoned men at Benghazi, the hundreds of thousands of Christians Obama allowed to be slaughtered, our dead and injured border guards, the innocent Mexicans killed by the weapons of the Fast and Furious deal, the middle-eastern contractors and supporters who lost their lives trying to help us the middleast, Seal Team 6, the police officers assassinated by Obama’s racial hatred, Obama’s seven-at-a-time undeclared wars, the dozens of victims of vicious jihadists and illegal aliens that Obama and Hillary turned a blind eye to for 8 years, and the millions who will die because of their evil deal with iran, there’s plenty of blood to go around.
Sessions should go after the universities for malpractice. Their employees are not qualified to teach at that, or any, level.

They are a pathetic and stupid lot, their hatred and intolerance a reflection of their mental and spiritual condition. Yesterday the pathetic former Director of the CIA, Michael Hayden – alongside Leon Panetta and the pitiful Muslim, John Brennan, a pathetic excuse for CIA director – joined these loonies on CNN with his criticism of Trump. Does his mommy know he’s out? The Russians must die laughing when looking at some of these CIA directors. Do they yet have a proper man at the helm? To the Liberals it matters not how often THEIR people – like Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lunch (who FBI Director, James Comey says “I like very much” – what a suck!) – arch liar Susan Rice, lie. With these morals destitute bits of trash it just okay. CNN is now just a daily hate-fest against Trump and anyone on his team.
