NEW YORK The story seemed too good to be true and, as often the case, it wasn't. And longtime Indianapolis Star columnist Ruth Holladay, who has been at the paper since 1978, admitted today that the whole thing made her look pretty bad.

It all began back on June 26 when Holladay promoted the claim of William Bradford that a faculty committee at the Indiana University School of Law had voted against him for tenure. Bradford declared that two liberal professors who disliked him--because he was an Army veteran and supported the Iraq war--had led the charge.

"He fought in Desert Storm and Bosnia-Herzegovina, served as a major in the U.S. Army Special Forces and received the Silver Star," Holladay wrote then. "Now the 39-year-old legal scholar is engaged in a battle on the home front -- political correctness in academia."

Read the entire article. This guy hoodwinked them all and his story lead to the Horowitz anti-Academia campaign.

Fraudulent idiots.

That pretty much sums up the Reichwing.

This guy should be brought up on charges. I believe it's illegal to claim a Silver Star you never earned.

job with the White House or Halliburton.

parading this guy around as the poster child for "liberal abuse". Gee I'll bet they get right on reporting about their mistake :eyes:

necessary. She could have easily checked out this story but it fit in with her cartoon image of academia so she went with it. For that she should be fired.

(note - it's the Indianapolis branch of the IU Law school)

clip:

"In September, Bradford admitted on the law school blog that he had been assuming names and posting comments in support of himself....

Meanwhile, law school bloggers hammered away at Bradford's credibility. Bradford, formerly a vigorous participant, shut up."

Where he calls bradfors, a "real American patriot".

Gotta love it. Horowitz gets his comeuppance.

If bradford was who he said he was and experienced what he said he experienced he would be a liberal, possibly running for office as a Democrat. Instead he's a pathetic fake patriot, cheered on by fake patriots who have never served. Conservative = Pathetic!!
