Art Robinson had the gall to run for Congress in Oregon against far-left Democrat Peter DeFazio, co-founder of the House Progressive Caucus. Now the Oregon progressives are targeting his children.

World Net Daily reported:

In an effort to do my part in rescuing our country from the out-of-control Obama administration, last year I ran for Congress in Oregon’s 4th District against 12-term incumbent, far-left Democrat Peter DeFazio, co-founder of the House Progressive Caucus.

Although I won the nominations of the Republican, Independent and Constitution Parties and the endorsement of the Libertarian Party, a massive media smear campaign by DeFazio, paid for with money raised by MoveOn.org and from special interests favored by DeFazio in Washington, resulted in a 54.5 percent to 43.6 percent victory for DeFazio in a race that was expected to be much closer.

Although I had never run for public office before, I immediately announced my candidacy for Congress again in 2012.

However, when you take a stand for what’s right, sometimes there is retribution.

On Nov. 4, 2010, as soon as the election results were in and they were sure their candidate had won, faculty administrators at Oregon State University gave new meaning to the term “political payback.”

They initiated an attack on my three children – Joshua, Bethany and Matthew – for the purpose of throwing them all out of the OSU graduate school, despite their outstanding academic and research accomplishments. OSU is a liberal socialist Democrat stronghold in Oregon that received a reported $27 million in earmark funding from my opponent, Peter DeFazio, and his Democrat colleagues during the last legislative session.

Thus, Democrat activist David Hamby and militant feminist and chairman of the nuclear engineering department Kathryn Higley are expelling four-year Ph.D. student Joshua Robinson from OSU at the end of the current academic quarter and turning over the prompt neutron activation analysis facility Joshua built for his thesis work and all of his work in progress to Higley’s husband, Steven Reese. Reese, an instructor in the department, has stated that he will use these things for his own professional gain. Joshua’s apparatus, which he built and added to the OSU nuclear reactor with the guidance and ideas of his mentor, Michael Hartman, earned Joshua the award for best Masters of Nuclear Engineering thesis at OSU and has been widely complimented by scientists at prominent U.S. nuclear facilities.

Meanwhile, faculty member Todd Palmer notified four-year Ph.D. student Bethany Robinson (OSU grade point average 3.89) that he was terminating her thesis work and taking all of her work in progress for himself. Some of Bethany’s graduate work has already been used, without credit to Bethany, in the thesis of another favored student now recently hired on the department faculty.

Palmer, until recently married to a member of the OSU psychology faculty, is now married to former OSU student Camille Lodwick. They are both faculty members in the nuclear engineering department.

My children and I attempted to counter all these actions against us as they unfolded, but were initially uncertain as to their ultimate intent. All became clear, however, when OSU faculty administrators abruptly took a further and very serious prejudicial action toward Joshua. At that point, OSU Professor of Nuclear Engineering Jack Higginbotham, who was privy to all of the meetings and actions, warned us and came to our defense.

Professor Higginbotham, who also serves as president of the OSU Faculty Senate and director of the Oregon NASA Space Science Consortium, has been a member of the OSU faculty for 24 years. He has held many responsible positions in the university and has received numerous professional awards. Moreover, he is very widely admired for the many instances in which he has given special help to students at OSU. This is a man who thinks always of his students and never of himself.

Professor Higginbotham warned us that faculty administrators at OSU were working to make certain that Joshua, his sister Bethany and, if possible, his brother Matthew never receive Ph.D. degrees in nuclear engineering from OSU, regardless of their examination, academic and research performance. Professor Higginbotham then reviewed with us the details of the plan to destroy the education of these students and advised me to do anything I could to protect my children.

Oh I believe it. Who else would report on it? Nobody. At least not in Oregon.

Having said that, I'd yank my kids and their tuition out so fast it would make their heads spin. I'd paste them on every news show and TMZ and plop them right back down in fucking Wheaton, in Chicago, where they'd get a better education and some big city polish as well.
 
Holy crap, they're graduate program nuclear researchers!

Wow!

Well anyway, there are better schools out there. OSU, pfft.

The only problem is that these kids are on a Graduate Fellowship Program where the school funds them and their research.

....and the school has STOLEN their research and hard work. :evil:

Yeah, I just noticed that.

What a bunch of crap. This is why you don't send your kids to liberal strongholds. They're liars, thieves, and have zero ethics.
 
Yes.....of course the best the left can do is attack the messenger.

But does this man sound like a nutcase to you?:

Arthur Robinson, Ph.D., the 2010 Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in Oregon's 4th congressional district, is a research professor of chemistry and co-founder of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine. After graduating from the California Institute of Technology in 1963 and earning his Ph.D. from the University of California at San Diego, he served as a UCSD faculty member until co-founding the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine with Linus Pauling in 1973. In 1981, Dr. Robinson, his wife, chemist Laurelee Robinson, physicist Martin Kamen, and later joined by Nobel-winning biochemist R. Bruce Merrifield, cofounded the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine. In recent years, Dr. Robinson has also directed the Petition Project, which has obtained the support and signatures of more than 31,000 American scientists for a petition opposed – entirely on scientific grounds published in peer reviewed journals – to the hypothesis of "human-caused global warming."

"Republican candidate for U.S. Congress" was all I needed to read to make up my mind he is, indeed, a nutcase.

And anyone who states "OSU is a liberal socialist Democrat stronghold in Oregon" and then proceeds to enroll ALL THREE of his kids there makes him a "hypocritical nutcase".

.
 
What exactly do you expect the OP to prove? I don't think there's any question that the guy really wrote that letter.

As for the allegations, obviously there's not going to be lots of evidence floating around. But according to this guy, this is what happened.

These are scientists in a graduate program.

I imagine they picked their own school.
 
OK, for fun, I googled this guy, Art Robinson. For hours of hilarity, I recommend you all do so. He's quite the.....er.....interesting guy. :lol::lol::lol:

Particularly the Rachel Maddow interview.......what a HOOT!!!!!

Great!!! According to this guy it happened. How do we know his kids are any good and they weren't going to get canned anyway? Maybe he's just pissed he lost, so he couldn't save their cushy, tenure-tracked jobs. Sounds like they were looking to live off our dime and got cut off at the pass. That's at least as good an explanation as a single WND article.
 
Yeah, whatever.

You based that on..what, exactly? Is it okay for the school to expell them and take their research based on the fact that their dad ran against a school goldmine?

Wondering why all 3 kids are students in the same program. Seems odd.

I wouldnt, however put anything past the petty rivalries that can occur at the doctoral level of academics. This will probably turn out to be more about that than any grand political payback schemes.
 
Dad's a chemist, the kids are all of the same bent.

It's pretty common in academia, especially in cases of super duper egg heads.

Think of the brothers Chudnovski....or Freud & his daughter...
