Having looked at some more of Adams’ columns and some other sites, it is clear that Adams’ KKK column is a spoof on Pino (see below). The names are obviously similar (Julio Pino/Julius Piner) and the Pino was said to have run or contributed to a site called “Global War” run by someone called “Lover of Angels” (and the KKK’s Piner’s monicker was alleged to be “Lover of Anglos”).

The site the Pino contributed to/ran (it is unclear based on what I have read) is no more. If you go to http://global-war.bloghi.com you just get the bloghi main page.

However, Polimom e-mails to note that you can see some of the old site via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. The archive is incomplete, as most of the posts were only excerpts, and the Wayback appears not to have saved the complete content. The comments are gone as well.

Adams has written on Pino on several occasions of late:

• Townhall.com::The Smoking Gun Points to Julio Pino::By Mike S. Adams
• Townhall.com::Kent State and Jihad-gate::By Mike S. Adams
• Townhall.com::Julio Pino: Islam’s Most Effeminate Jihadist::By Mike S. Adams
  

Part of the problem with the whole affair is that all that appears to have been established is that Pino “contributed” to the web site–it is not firmly established that it is his site alone. Also, while the Wayback archive makes it clear that the site was a radical Islamist site, it is hard to glean a lot of specifics from it.

I will say this about Adams–his style is obnoxious (calling names to taunt Pino to goad him to talk is just childish) and he also employs the canard that university professors work 9-5 jobs and that if they aren’t in their offices at a given moment in time it means that they aren’t working and wasting the state’s money. It is disingenuous, as Adams is a professor himself and it is unlikely that he is at his university office 9-5 M-F. I doubt, for that matter, that he writes all of his columns at night. (I will say, as an aside, that I am in my office one heck of a whole lot more than Pino would appear to be–based, granted, on Adams’ reporting of his phone calls).

However, I will say that I noted at Rate My Professor the following comments on Pino:

“Definately a jihad boy in training. I think he’s more the suicide bomber type though. If you thing we are kidding, take this wackjob for class.”

and

“I swear this guy is going to turn out to be the leader of a major terrorist group, he clearly hates america and capitalism.”

Although also stuff like this:

“Pino is a great teacher with a profound understanding of Latin America. His classes are thought provking and interesting.”

and

“Professor Pino was a very good teacher. He was a standard blue book history teacher. The only thing that was a little bit of problem in his class is when we had to meet with him to go over our paper, and expected to review 80+ student’s rough drafts—it didn’t happen, but was helpful if you did get to him.”

Here’s a story on Pino from a student paper called The BG News: Freedom of speech a debate for some - Campus

More on this later, perhaps.
