University of Minnesota at Morris biology professor Dr. Paul Zachary Myers doesnt like young Republicans. In fact, he called them assholes.

Thats what they are, Myers told me in a telephone interview on Friday. I think theyve amply demonstrated it is accurate.

And he also doesnt like The Morris North Star, a conservative student publication that routinely draws the ire of liberals at the University Minnesota at Morris.

I said it was a terrible, terrible paper and they university should not be endorsing it, Myers said. But attorneys for the student newspaper are alleging Myers broke the law when they say he wrote a blog post on his personal blog urging people to throw away the publication.

The Alliance Defending Freedom has accused Myers, an associate professor in the schools biology program, of encouraging people to steal and throw away a copy of the November 22nd edition of the newspaper.

That particular edition included a satire on affirmative action. The professor said the paper was mocking minority students.

I would advocate the disposal of their flyers if the Ku Klux Klan started papering our campus, and likewise, the North Star has worn out its welcome and must go, the professor wrote. Treat their scattered papers as hate-filled trash and dispose of it appropriately.

Myers went on to call the student editors of the publication wingnutty and even took a swipe at Fox News.

We do have conservative students here I expect that the majority are more conservative than I am but they also trend towards being more the reasonable, rational, educate sort of conservative, he wrote. Not the kind youll see on Fox News, and most unfortunately, not the kind who are likely to get elected to the Republican party.

Oh yeah he also called the conservative youngsters assholes-in-training.
