SOMEONE HAS DEEPLY CONFUSED AND CONFLATED TWO DIFFERENT JOHN TIERNEYS

ONE IS A NYT COLUMNIST ANOTHER IS A PROFESSOR AND RED BAITER

THEIR POLITICS ARE NOT DISSIMILAR BUT THEY'RE NOT THE SAME GUY

That other commenter is right. John J. Tierney Jr., a conversative author currently employed as professor, is the guy likening liberal protesters to communists. I've added him to the dissambiguation page and removed the confused references to him. There's a short bio of him here: http://www.iwp.edu/faculty/facultyID.8/profile.asp

"Hate mail"? Sounds NPOV[edit]

The claim that Recycling is garbage broke the NYT hate-mail record is a direct quotation from the Reason article cited. What do they mean by "hate mail"? Mail that makes threats or disparages his person? Or simply mail that disagrees with his position? RogerLustig (talk) 16:18, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
