PJ Media political reporter and commentator Michelle Fields appeared Saturday on Fox News’ “Cashin’ In,” and while we assume most viewers enjoyed her input, a former professor declared that his erstwhile student had gone “full retard.”
I don't think my former Professor Russell Burgos from @pepperdine liked my appearance today on #cashinin. pic.twitter.com/IecALleags

That’s not the sort of insensitive, non-PC language we’ve become used to hearing from leftist university professors. Oh wait, it is.
@MichelleFields Yikes, as a college professor I hang my head in shame for what he said as a professor.
— Frank Ferrara (@FJFerrara) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine "Retard"?! Well that's rather insensitive. Your old professor is a hypocritical cuntbag*. *typical liberal
— Jøšëph (@Johoff23) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields can't believe a professor would say something like that abt a former student. He should be ashamed.
— Clarke (@SeeLarke) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields I'd be more insulted that he called you 'garden-variety.' You are hardly that.
— Bill Price (@fireballil) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine What the hell kind of prof says this in a public forum? His head should be hung in shame all right – pathetic.
— Patrick H. (@trogdor8768) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine jerk.

@MichelleFields @pepperdine calling someone retarded? Not nice.
— jchin (@joanie_ues) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine I thought lefties couldn't use the term "Retard" because it fits so many of their fellow lefties
— John (@NobamaDotCom) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine Because you dare make sense…
— Paul Young (@pyoung04) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields you should be proud… Ayn would be proud of you!! @pepperdine @exjon

@MichelleFields @exjon @pepperdine The George Costanza of politics. Whatever the Left criticizes, you may be confident you're on track.

@MichelleFields what does he teach at @pepperdine – Twitter trolling?

polisci (international relations) prof RT @bitingtea: @MichelleFields what does he teach at @pepperdine – Twitter trolling?
— Michelle Fields (@MichelleFields) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine Pathetic. And at one time, professors took pride in turning out alum who thought critically & independently.
— Marcy J. Miller (@MarcyJMiller) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine This is a college professor who just said this???
— Boondock Saint (@The13th_Ghost) August 9, 2014

— James Humphreys (@BPratto) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine he is obviously a liberal leftist who doesn't believe individual responsibility
— Charlie (@crogersc) August 9, 2014
.@MichelleFields It's adorable how your professor considers himself relevant. #caring
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine charming
— Robert Oxley (@roxley) August 9, 2014
Awe, @MichelleFields, don't worry. He identifies himself as a "B" professor. You are an A student! @exjon @pepperdine
— Sandy (@RightGlockMom) August 9, 2014
@RightGlockMom @exjon @pepperdine haha thanks
— Michelle Fields (@MichelleFields) August 9, 2014
.@MichelleFields It's also amusing how he operates under the premise that he had some influence on your life – and that you'd remember him.
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields Yikes!Well for what it's worth Michelle I think you're awesome! 🙂 Haters gonna hate! 😉
— Tanya Ross (@ross_tanya) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine disgusting. Hope he loses his job. Showing the love your neighbor attitude you'd expect at a christian school.

— Raymond Haight (@leaker19) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine What a shame!! Shows how liberal professors behave. I would be rather be where you are than where that looser is
— Peter Haeberlin (@PeterHaeberlin) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine Disappointing lack of creativity in use of language for a college professor
— Kim Besen (@kimbesen) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine wow that is some compliment
— will smith (@spx1600) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields you know when a “professor’ calls you #FullRetard, you are doing something right. @KurtSchlichter

If a conservative used the word "retard", the uproar would be deafening. Hypocritical mongrels. @KurtSchlichter @MichelleFields
— TN Jed (@TNJed3) August 9, 2014
.@MichelleFields Is @pepperdine fine with their professors using that kind of hostile and degrading language? One hopes not. #rsrh
— Moe Lane (@moelane) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine That is really offensive and disgusting. And also petty and small. And mean.
— shansmith (@shansmith) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @exjon @pepperdine Sounds like he must have been a heckuva teacher. I doubt he actually feels the shame he should.
— Randy Barnett (@RandyEBarnett) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine Is that asshole tenured? If not, that SOAB should be fired! What a Dick. Ask him on PJTV & debate the prick!

@MichelleFields wasn't Pepperdine started by Church of Christ ? Libs are taking over everywhere
— JimWilemon (@JimW_in_NM) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields From Ratemyprof: "totally opinionated (full of it!). Totally liberal — America bad, everyone else good, hates Israel."
— Randy Barnett (@RandyEBarnett) August 9, 2014
@RandyEBarnett that's basically what I remember about him.
— Michelle Fields (@MichelleFields) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields He seems to remember you too, Michelle. You seem to have stood out.
— Randy Barnett (@RandyEBarnett) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields Never heard of —> @pepperdine professor, but I know you well. Any find your commentary clear headed and thoughtful.
— Scott (@retiredfirecapt) August 9, 2014
@RandyEBarnett —> @MichelleFields is probably the only student of his that ever made something of themselves. Screw him!
— Scott (@retiredfirecapt) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields Tolerant! @pepperdine, a Christian school where students have 2 attend spiritual events must be proud of "retard" language.
— Franklin & Friends (@FranklinsRule) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine student trumps dumbass prof.
— Anthony (@efilnikcufecin7) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields – As an alum myself, I reckon @pepperdine is more embarrassed by him than you. Good on you MF!
— Ade T Ignatiusson (@a_t_ignatiusson) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @exjon @pepperdine <<~ Should be as proud of you as they are ashamed of him. Should be.
— Kno Klu (@KnoKlu) August 10, 2014
I can't believe Pepperdine has representatives on twitter calling students with differing options 'retarded' @MichelleFields @pepperdine
— Mr. Media (@mediachecker) August 10, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine so basically you went full awesome!
— jason (@JasonSlusher) August 10, 2014
@MichelleFields Wow is that the R word I see?!? Not very PC for a liberal professor.
— Derek Ryan (@longhornderek) August 10, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine what a great representation of the university. A former professor who continually harasses a successful alumnus.
— Eliano Younes (@ElianoY) August 10, 2014
.@MichelleFields @jamestaranto @pepperdine Has Prof. B read the latest faculty email about references to the differently abled?
— Bill Glahn (@billglahn) August 10, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine he's jealous cuz you made a name for yourself and he's still forgettable.

@MichelleFields @exjon @pepperdine yes, if he disagrees with your perspective, then you *must* be mentally impaired. #tolerance
— texas tweedy (@tweedylouwho) August 10, 2014
@RandyEBarnett @MichelleFields He's also apparently a prolific online commenter. Wonder how @pepperdine likes that.
— Patrick H. (@trogdor8768) August 10, 2014
@MichelleFields @jamestaranto @pepperdine Sad. I'd be happy if my former students turn out to be successful regardless his/her affiliation.
— Yohanes Sulaiman (@YohanesSulaiman) August 10, 2014
@MichelleFields @jamestaranto @pepperdine I am very concerned that @pepperdine condones such shocking attacks by faculty. "Full Retard"?!
— crucker (@crucker) August 10, 2014
@RandyEBarnett @MichelleFields Who uses "retard" as insult? Liberal college professor! My three teenagers would never use that term.
— Franklin & Friends (@FranklinsRule) August 10, 2014
Dear @pepperdine , are you okay with your "professors" calling ex-students "retarded?" Students who paid you big money? => @MichelleFields
— Jimmy Simpson (@informedblackmn) August 10, 2014
Update:
In an email to Twitchy and in a series of tweets posted last night, Professor Burgos denied he was the person who accused Michelle Fields of going “full retard.” Please see this post for more information.
