Dinesh D’Souza Resigns From Presidency Of Christian College

Source: TPM

Eric Kleefeld 1:14 PM EDT, Thursday October 18, 2012

Conservative activist Dinesh D'Souza resigned Thursday as president of The King's College, a small evangelical school based in Manhattan.

The move came following recent reports that the 51-year old D'Souza was engaged to a 29-year old woman, while still in the course of a divorce from his wife of 20 years, and that the two had shared a hotel room at a recent Christian conference. However, the Daily Beast reports that it is not immediately clear what the ultimate cause of D'Souza's resignation was — and that the board had other complaints, as well:

According to several sources at the college, members of the King’s faculty and board alike had grown hostile to D’Souza’s presidency over what they saw as a failure to earn his reported million-dollar salary. D’Souza has spent much of the past few months promoting his documentary, 2016: Obama’s America, and his high profile in the media was seen as rarely benefitting the college. It may even have been seen as a detriment: According to a former staffer familiar with the college’s public relations, King’s employees have been explicitly tasked with disentangling D’Souza’s extracurricular activities from the college’s reputation.

D'Souza has in the last two years spearheaded a book and movie alleging that President Obama has a "post-colonial" ideology from Kenya, with the president having a secret aim to take down America's economic and political power leading the world.

The difference is that conservatives and Catholics want wives to hang around for the humiliation (and more) and call it a sacrament blessed by God.

Glad you're here - and you're spot-on in your assessment of that smarmy little hypocritical d'ouchebag (SHAMELESSLY stolen from downthread, post 11, by DUer kysrsoze). NOTHING truly Christian about him. We need you to help us keep assholes like this - THOROUGHLY reined in - so the way is clear for President Obama to win reelection.

who asked him how he could go after Clinton for an affair after Gingrich had cheated on her, he was dismissive. He replied that it didn't matter what he DID--it only mattered what he SAID.

- How to total your career in one easy week:

Step One: Bring loads of attention to yourself by producing a lying-ass piece of shit hit-piece about how President Obama has Kenyan beliefs and philosophies (whatever) and earn the accolades of fellow morons in the Repukey Party.

Step Two: Get your Holier-Than-Thou-Christian ass caught spending the night (where nothing happened and you did nothing wrong) with a woman who is not your wife.

Step Three (a): When contacted the next morning after your whore-mongering, lie your ass-off about everything being okay because that woman you spent the night with is your ''fiancee.'' When asked how can you have a fiancee when you're still married, lie your ass-off some more and tell your Christian interlocutor that you've already filed for divorce. When ask when you filed for this un-Jesusy divorce, say: ''Recently.''

Step Three (b): Hastily call ''Find-A-Lawyer-Fast, L.L.C. ©™ and tell them you need a lawyer to quickly file for a divorce -- LIKE YESTERDAY!!! -- because I just got caught with another woman and I need an alibi that proves I wasn't living in sin the night before.

Step Four: Have a ''Christian reporter'' to write up your whole little tawdry affair on his little Christian website periodical thingy and within two days lose your job -- thus having absolutely no way to pay the inevitable alimony you've shackled yourself to just the day before -- along with the lawyer you just hired to free you from that old hag of a wife you've been with for the past 20 years, so that you can pursue the love of your life, Denise Odie Joseph II. Except now all that President Obama hit-piece money that you were counting on for your old age will now go to your ''former'' wife, your lawyer, court fees, oh and to defend the lawsuit from your fiancee once she discovers she's been used.

Step Five: Everybody profits!

According to the Bible, aren't we supposed to stone the two them?
