   When the campus officials suspected the flyers were real, they vowed to expel the perpetrators. Now that the hoaxers have confessed, what will the administration do?

   Nothing of course. Move along, false alarm, blah, blah…

   I agree not a thing will happen to these little darlings. After all it would infringe on their freedom of liberal hate speech.

   Invite a terrorist President to speak to show they do not support hate?

   I am going to hold my breath until they punish these perps. Of course, I will pass out soon and start breathing again. That will have accomplished about as much as the administration is going to accomplish - nada.

   These officials will do nothing as always.These guys had the “confession”written before hand.They are slick but as usual it looks like they may have stepped in it by letting everyone know about the YAF.This could turn out to be a blessing with all this publicity the YAF is getting.These little immature stunts backfire sometimes.

   Hate crimes are a joke. The punishment should fit the crime, not the motive. Motive is used during the trial to prove guilt. To tack on a stiffer penalty because of assumed motivations towards a certain group is ridiculous.

    The YAF should get a pit bull attorney to probe the administration’s intent to punish the “hoaxers” for endangering their safety.

    And if the administration fails to expel these cheese bags for their actions, the pit bull attorney should sue the University for defamation of character.

    See how “responsive” the Admin is to them apples.

    While the pit bull is at it, s/he should have a chat with the Muslim Student Association’s Staff/Faculty advisor and insinuate they had something to do with it and see how they react.

    Chances are they did. And they are probing the admin’s reaction to these kinds of shenanigans so they can keep suggesting this kind of crap to drive their adversaries out of any forum of debate that is coming as they step up their jihadi takeover of college campuses.

    It’s comin…might as well turn our dogs loose on them before it’s too late

    Malkin Fan,

    You know, I don’t have a problem with that, really… We put up displays of Christmas and.. umm…

    The jewish holiday.

    I have too much respect for the jewish in the crowd to slaughter the spelling of that word.

    So really, lighting a building green for a muslim holiday is, frankly, no big deal.

    Once they start making me sing Kwanza songs, then we’ll talk again.

    I’m not as comfortable as others may be with “hate speech” being the PC pariah that it is. I do however find the libel perpetrated by the actual creators of the flyer something that should be justly punished.

    Think about if the situation were reversed. A group of YAF students post flyers all over campus that the upcoming pro-choice/women’s rights conference is being sponsored by murderous zealots who hate babies. They would be run off campus within hours of the flyers being posted with the complete blessing of the administration. But because in the real case the victims were conservatives, nothing will happen to those who perpetrated the hoax.

    Here’s the best part…

    If and when the university fils to do anything at all to the wackos who did this, the YAF would have a perfectly valid defense should they decide to then respond in kind…

    Not that they would. They actualy possess class.

    And GWU will do exactly two things about this…

    “Jack” and “sh!t”…

    If the liberal hate groups want to espouse their kind of hatred, then fine send in an attorney from F.I.R.E. or the ACLJ and see how fast these liberal students are expelled.

    If any conservative student in the past was expelled for a simuliar offense, then it may be time for class action lawsuit against the GWU.

    Give me a break.

    My money says GWU does NOTHING to these students at all.

    Liberal academics (professors and students alike) always think they’re above reproach…much like the corrupt politicians they admire.

    Well this Adam Kokesh creep happens to be a member in good standing of Iraq Veterans Against the War….soooo,as a USAF veteran,I took EXTREME umbrage at this piece of garbage disgracing his USMC uniform by pulling this stunt…consequently I posted a VERY nasty comment on his personal blog at the IVAW website calling him out and inviting him to put on the gloves and climb in the ring and settle this according to Marquess of Queensbury rules with 16 oz Everlast gloves…so the little punk doesn’t get hurt too badly….after all,I’m only twice his age…I also emailed a copy of the comment I posted to IVAW demanding they show some honor and cojones by tossing him out of their little group….not that I expect him to do so…but this jerk needs to have a certain part of his male anatomy nailed to the floor for pulling this stunt…and I would invite any of you to follow up on this and come down on him like a ton of proverbial bricks with emails etc,till he and his fellow IVAW cretins understand that they can’t spread their spew like this with impunity…I’ve about had it with John Kerry wannabe ‘vets’ who the left uses to undermine the war effort….so I’ve strapped it on for the duration…and woe unto dimbulbs like Kokesh who make the mistake of pissing me off

    It is possible that the same thing could be happening at Columbia University. I am aware of an incident in a Southern college where in a racist commentary was posted on the door of a black student. After much investigation, the school authorities concluded that the racist commentary was probably posted by the students own black friends either as a joke or an act of intimidation for associating with whites. Of course, the administration, by that time, had acted to ban a number of activities organized by the student body and required that all students attend a sensitivity training session.

    I would ask why a black female professor who teaches racial justice at Columbia was “victimized” by the hanging of a noose. Frankly, was a student just angry at a grade or some mistreatment in class, did the professor or some of her friends cook this up, who frequents the building where she works and what type of students are they, or was this a deliberate ploy to get Bollinger off the hook for his Ahmadinejab debacl?. There are lots of other possible explanations as well but it is hard to imagine that some science or law student would go out of their way to do something this silly. By the way, this professor also teaches psychology and education to the more emotional and mentally confused people in America, namely social progressives (Democrats).

    True threats to society, prevailing “social injustices”, are most often missed in the era they occur. Of all places, a University should be able to see that. What are such threats in this era? One is the damage of specious claims of “racism” which are legion. As many liberals continue to fight the battles of yesterday, they’re blind to the dangers of today which they themselves encourage. Someone explain how false smears of “racism” are any less pernicious than racism itself. While we’ve developed strong antibodies against racism itself, false claims of racism are causing great damage to the body politic.

    I’m waiting to see how quickly the push this under the rug now that the true perps have been found out. I know they were just sure it was some dorky white person, probably from the South who were thick glasses (just like they thought that’s who the sniper was 5 years ago).
    Liberals in academia are so transparent.

    This is “chicken-satire”. You include a few preposterous items mixed in with a load of vile accusations, and pretend that you didn’t mean any of it because one part was obviously silly. This is also called underhanded lying.

    Contrast to the the old “Affirmative Action Bake Sales”, now being supplanted by “Sharia Law Bake Sales”. This is straight-up satire of the thing the advocates disagree with, without the name-calling.

    Guess which one gets people thrown out of college? It has nothing to do with satire, it is the identity of the group doing it and the group being targeted.

    From a recent news article:
    ———————————–
    Columbia University has refused to turn over security videotape that could help identify who hung a noose on a black professor’s office door, police said Thursday.
    Investigators began asking on Wednesday for tapes from cameras in the building, but have been rebuffed by administrators, said Paul Browne, the New York Police Department’s top spokesman.

    He said police will have to get a court order to force the school to provide video they believe could crack the case.
    ————————
    Now just exactly why is Columbia refusing to help the police here. Maybe this isn’t racism!!!!!

    GWU’s leftist hoax crime update: What will the administration do?

    Absolutely Nothing! The only way we’re ever going to get any college’s attention is to hit them in the pocket.
    Forget a lawsuit - maybe better to set up a protest during homecoming to let mom and dad see where their tuition dollars are going. Go after their corporate endowments like NY state did after the Ahmadinejad debacle at Columbia. Disvetiture is a powerful negotiating tool. But please don’t hold your breath and think for one moment these lame-o administrators are going really do much about this debacle.
