Damn, a millionaire professor at Stanford has issues with Howard Zinn. Funny coincidence!

Unless they are associated with the Hoover Institute in some manner, no humanities faculty at Stanford is raking in big bucks. They all live in the dumpy professor-ville offered by the university because salaries cannot pay for palo alto homes.
Argument ad hominem.
Actually a genetic fallacy. An ad hominem would be 'an ugly millionaire professor.'
you think history professors are paid in millions?
Considering the median price of a house in Palo Alto is now 3.1 million dollars, it's a plausible assumption this professor is indeed a millionaire.
what makes you assume he owns a home in Palo Alto? what makes you assume he owns a home at all?
