Who's a turkey?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Forget all that turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie, today should be a day of fasting and atonement for American \u201csin.\u201d That\u2019s according to Robert Jensen, a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Jensen, known for his hard-left politics, also calls Thanksgiving a \u201cwhite-supremacist holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jensen\u2019s opinion piece \u201cNo Thanks for Thanksgiving,\u201d appeared on the far-left, Soros-connected website Alternet on Thanksgiving eve. In it, he wrote how Native Americans suffered because of the \u201cEuropean invasion of the Americas.\u201d He went on to compare the Founding Fathers to Nazi Germany. \u201cHow does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures had certain moral values and political views virtually identical to Nazis?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

According to Jensen, Thanksgiving is \u201cat the heart of U.S. myth-building. \u201cBut in the United States, this reluctance to acknowledge our original sin — the genocide of indigenous people — is of special importance today,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Jensen has a long career in both working journalism and academia, including work as a copy editor at The St. Paul Pioneer Press and the St. Petersburg Times, as well as \u201cvolunteer editing and writing for the Texas Triangle, Austin (weekly statewide lesbian\/gay paper).\u201d<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t the first time Jensen has bashed America. He does so on a regular basis. Other Alternet pieces include headlines like \u201cThe Painful Collapse of Empire: How the \u2018American Dream\u2019 and American Exceptionalism Wreck Havoc on the World\u201d or \u201cWhat White People Fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alternet is part of the George-Soros-supported Media Consortium. It is one of 58 left-wing media operations that aim to create a progressive \u201cecho chamber.\u201d – CNSNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
