Princeton University professor emeritus Richard Falk, who earlier this week called the Boston Marathon bombings retribution for “the American global domination project,” is described as the United Nations’ special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories. What’s a rapporteur? A quick check of Twitter suggests it might be some form of circus performer or perhaps a feminine hygiene product.

Co-sign… also, ass-clown. RT @mrossletters: If you try really hard, an anagram for Richard Falk is "Ass Hat".

Douchebag, too. If you try really hard “@mrossletters: If you try really hard, an anagram for Richard Falk is "Ass Hat".”

In his post at the Foreign Policy Journal, Falk wrote that “as long as Tel Aviv has the compliant ear of the American political establishment, those who wish for peace and justice in the world should not rest easy,” and he urged Americans to mediate on a line by poet W.H. Auden: “Those to whom evil is done/Do evil in return.”

United States Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice denounced Falk’s comments.
Outraged by Richard Falk's highly offensive Boston comments. Someone who spews such vitriol has no place at the UN. Past time for him to go.

If spewing vitriol against Israel and the U.S. were a disqualifier, the United Nations building would empty out pretty quickly. But if even Rice believes it’s past time for Falk to go, why is he still there at the U.N.? Couldn’t he quietly fall back on his Ivy League teaching career?

Seriously, how's a crackpot like Richard Falk (http://t.co/chiBa7F066) still employed by a UN that gets 22% of its budget from US taxpayers?

@oreillyfactor Who pays Richard Falk's salary? How much does he make at the UN to disparage the USA? #greta

Why is an anti-semite and HATEFUL person like Richard Falk part of the UN? Hate is the opposite of united. #canariehttp://t.co/aC3TgNOFQz

A query: to most Americans, would rational response to Richard Falk's rantings be (a) to defund the U.N.; (b) abolish tenure?

This just gets better and better, I have a question, why does this guy still have a job?… http://t.co/zv7d3vfA2B

How Richard Falk & James Tracy are employed by some of the most respected Universities in the world is absolutely beyond me. A disgrace.
