KU Journalism Prof Defends Death-Wish Tweets Directed at NRA Members’ Kids

Via NewsBusters:

An unrepentant (University of Kansas journalism professor) David Guth doubled down on his hateful tweets wishing death and damnation on NRA members and their children, Katherine Timpf of Campus Reform reported.

“#NavyYardShooting The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you,” the … journalism professor tweeted on Monday afternoon.

Responding to Campus Reform, Guth refused to recant.

“Hell no, hell no, I do not regret that Tweet…. I don’t take it back one bit,” Timpf quoted him as saying. For now, at least, Kansas University is standing by Guth.

Ken Shepherd, managing editor of NewsBusters, argued in his post on this issue that the professor’s vitriolic stance is intimidating to college students.

“KU may stand by Guth’s right to make an ass of himself on social media — and his blog — but Guth’s virulent hatred of gun rights advocates would give any pro-gun rights student of his pause,” Shepherd wrote. “It’s not inconceivable that students of Guth’s who are pro-Second Amendment may feel intimidated about letting known their personal views on the Second Amendment and gun rights.”

“It’s best not to tick off the vein-popping nutjob who grades your papers, after all.”
