Controversial prof: Whitnum gives “whores” a bad name with Murphy barb

Lee Whitnum is getting schooled after pulling a Rush Limbaugh — on a variety of fronts.

A preeminent conspiracy theorist, whose controversial teachings espouse that 9/11 was an “inside job,” is suggesting that Whitnum pulled her punches last week in a televised debate when she called fellow Senate candidate Chris Murphy a “whore” for his unwavering support of Israel.

“Calling Congress-critters rolling in Zionist dough “whores” is an insult to prostitutes everywhere,” Kevin Barrett, a former University of Wisconsin-Madison lecturer and radio host, wrote on his blog Saturday.

“I understand that the International Union of Sex Workers will be lodging a complaint against Whitnum.”

Barrett is a favorite whipping boy of Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity, who have both labeled him a “nut” on their Fox News Channel programs.
