But they were communist mass murderers so it's all OK
I love how some of the ignorant students clap. Perhaps Dr. Grover Furr could speak with a fellow professor who actually lived under communism..

Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Well then...let the shooting begin, we'll start in academia and see how that works out. Gee that has never been tried before...
These 'highly educated' twerps have precisely zero idea of how communism works. They are so confident of their position these useful idiots would be the first to be selected for 'high speed lead education'.
Welcome to the lime sprinkled pit and enjoy your glorious workers paradise.
Complete and utter morons...

I guess the over 20 million people that went missing off of the Soviet Unions own internal census was the communists falsifying their own data for the Americans, or the 40 plus million that the Chinese somehow lost track of during Mao's tenure was just a clerical error a made by a capitalist spy to make the communists look bad. i wont even go into Pol Pot's decimation of his own population.
If these are the people who are teaching our post secondary students then it's no wonder we are in the mess we are now.
And the Walter Duranty Prize for Mendacious Stupidity goes to . . . .
I honestly don't know why the Captain keeps linking to Clarissa, she's about as clear an example of a left-wing academic as it's possible to get.
So it was suicide?
I guess the Ukrainians just "forgot" to eat for a decade.
Mental midget.
Sad. In the old days that jerk would have been hustled out of that school by the seat of his pants and would have been lucky not to have been tuned in on the way out.
Strogly suggest he be taken on a road trip to Poland, Ukraine and Georgia. The Gulag is to good for him.
Unbelievable. It's hard to believe that a moral monster such as this man would be hired at any university.
Just goes to show you can all the academic credentials in the world and still be a moron.
Regarding my last comment, I gather that standards at your average university are far lower than anything I could have imagined.
Just another symptom of the underlying "nobody is afraid of getting their ass kicked anymore" disease.
"Bullshit" is now acceptable, try writing that on your next poli-sci exam.

This guy's quite a piece of work. Stalin spent most of his career trying to implement democracy in the Soviet Union, didn't you know? Lenin was a democrat too.
You just can't believe your lyin' eyes.
Guess the soviet system was so good they went through extra ordinary length to keep the free world from jumping fences to get in. Countless people taking their lives into their hands to escape the free world to seek refuge in the USSR. I must have missed those lessons as well as all those rafts leaving Florida to escape to Cuba. At least a few students saw through Grovers bullshit. I'm sure they will get a lecture from some professor on civility.
And who the F#### is Dr. Grover Furr??? Love to have a "chat", KGB style with this dork.
Never mind the millions who were enslaved and brutalized by the Marxist scum though.
This guy is an outright commie provocateur. IMO he should be stripped of any credentials and left to earn a living doing honest work or go on welfare. Funny thing is that in most of his pet states he would starve even today.
This reminded me of A guy I used to work with who escaped Czeckoslovakia on foot at the age of TEN. If he were in the presence of this fat sac-o-crap commie there would be bloodshed.
The popular commie practice of a bullet to the back of the head would be put to good use there.
I've seen more impressive Grover furr on muppets...
...but Ann Coulter was not allowed to speak in Canada??
We DO need a purge of academia; it has been subverted by the far left.
Pliable minds and unchallenged authority- where better to seed an ideology? I'm sure many students, especially those in post graduate programs, feel compelled to adopt the 'party doctrine' laid down by the prof.
Consider journalism students; it is obvious in following our MSM that few students have graduated with even a tepid right-wing leaning.
It's not as though the world is filled with far left success stories. Most democracies perform well because they have a centered mix of moderate left and right ideologies. So who has worked to remove random outcomes from our institutions of learning?
Dr. Grover Furr's brain left town the same time his hair did.
Did he offer any proof of what he was saying. I'll wait........
Dr. Grover Furr is the luckiest man in the world. He is SO lucky he probably craps gold horseshoes.
He was lucky there were no Ukrainian students present.
See, the problem we have in universities these days is that other guys are willing to share the stage with this commie. The fat guy next to him should have hit the sumb1tch with his chair.
You don't debate evil. You hit it with a chair until it stops moving. Then you set it on fire. Just to be sure, y'unnerstand.
Notice his MO--laugh at the question, demean the questioner, shout and invective, back his position with a "I have studied....., and then shut it down without providing any evidence from his extensive research.
Students cheer because they are taught that this is civilized discourse.
He is another example of "What fool got a PhD today.
I think Joe Biden learned his debate tactics from this guy--oh, wait--Saul Alinsky was his mentor!!
With a name like Grover, his mother must have hated him.
She should have aborted him. With the laws today,she still can, it's not too late.
@Daniel Ream
Honestly, I was wondering that too, after reading through her blog where she talks about how wonderful it is that Obama was re-elected, how much the economy has improved under him, and how most Republicans are right-wing extremists and the Democratic party is centrist.
So a holocaust denier would not be allowed to teach that. But a Stalin crime denier can.

The United States is so over. They should start chanting USFA! USFA! Unired States of F*ck All! Will the world be better when they're gone? Not a chance. But anyone thinking about a future where they are not gone is on drugs.
Muahahaha!
Clarissa DID NOT live under communism.
Not as an adult. So she does not qualify as someone Dr. Furr 'should' speak to.
She was born in 1976, entered school in 1983 and graduated in 1993. By that time communism was done for. She did not have a chance to LIVE under communism - her parents did.
That explains her pro-Obama view.
Every time the 'guest bloggers' open their mouths on this site, they expose themselves as collectivist moles and provocateurs.
I'd like to invite that Professor to speak at the Ukrainian Festival in Manitoba next Summer!
I emailed my alma mater today and told them to quit bothering me for donations. Lefty academia is one of the pillars of the Democrats' propaganda machine, and I want no part of it anymore.
There's three guys standing at podiums. One says Conservative, the other Libertarian and presumably the third says Communism.
Is this perhaps some kind of role playing to explore ideology or something?
That is one of the most disgusting things |I have ever seen. Just more proof of the need to be armed and vigilant.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: air-lift these people to North Korea and leave them there. Let him deny that the victims of communism exist while he watches people boil grass to eat.
Ernst Zundel was fired, harassed, stripped of citizenship and deported for saying the same thing in defense of the National Socialist Workers Party of Germany. Socialism and Communism are expected to be mainstream in the Professoriate but the ignorance really floats to the surface when the Nazis are somehow portrayed as their opposites rather than a variation on the statist theme.
One wonders what these “professors” do to come up with garbage like that.
This guy is willfully ignorant and (can’t hold back now) idiot.
Country where I was born had a democratically elected government right after WWII, in 1948 they elected communists. There could be an argument made that the elections were fixed since the big 4 decided that uncle Joe could decide whatever east of north/south line in the middle of continental Europe .
Anyway, the government in the country became social democrats/communists. Soon thereafter, the show trials started. This is not a myth, they, the communists published a whole book of the trial, I read it. The trial was scripted so they did not really have to collect any transcripts; they had the whole story at their fingertips.
The whole social democrat/communist government was killed off, either executed or minister here and there would have a fatal accident or suicide.
How can anybody talk as stupid, tell lies and defend mass murder and get away with it?
It is quite disturbing where the society is going without anybody raising objections.
Easy now...this academic has dreams of grandeur....but then why should he not aspire to rule the world when a light-weight like OBAMA is POTUS.
The Walter Duranty Prize for Mendacious Stupidity.....Naw....Duranty was not stupid....treacherous for sure for sure.but neither stupid nor obtuse.
I wonder what he thinks of Mao????
If I may, from His Holiness, Benedict XVI:
"The communist systems collapsed under the weight of their own fallacious economic dogmatism. Commentators have nevertheless ignored all too readily the role in this demise played by the communists’ contempt for human rights and their subjugation of morals to the demands of the system and the promises of the future. The greatest catastrophe encountered by such systems was not economic. It was the starvation of souls and the destruction of the moral conscience."

@Daniel Ream, @Alyric, Ditto on Clarissa.
Maybe Captain would care to comment.
I saw this on Tuesday, before the election results started coming in. It added to the nightmarish quality of the day.
Once, only a finge lunatic ever denied the Holocaust; now, it's always "well, the numbers...". On 9/11, none of us I think ever anticipated semi-mainstream conspiracy theories about the US government and the Israelis being involved.. And now this, after everything.
This Dr. Grover is a nothing little man - a shameful little man, and I use the word "man" loosly - but that fact that a little piece of excrement like him knows he can speak the way he does and not damage his career - believe me, that's all this sort of toad cares about - tells you everything.
God help us.
As an ex polish Cab driver told me who came from communist Poland. Ceretain Politicians & academia don,t want to hear the truth , only fables till its their time on the choping block.
He figured Canada is now becoming what he fled.
Loved Harper though. Figures hes the only one who can save the Country from the facists
So, all my dead relatives killed either with a bullet to the back of the head or worked to death in a labour camp are a lie. He is the the lying bas---d and useful idiot communist apologist.
Lev, Black Mamba and others, well said.
Revnant Dream, I agree with that ex Polish cab driver. Here it is coming in by increments rather than by the storming of the Winter Palace.
Pride of place on my bookshelf (and read from depressing cover to depressing cover): The Black Book of Communism.
Written by 6 former euro-communists.
Back cover:
Great book but they got the bold stuff wrong, what?
Just watched that doofus again. You know what burns my thrusters? They PAY him to do that.
