College Republicans painting red stars on professors' doors. Write letters

[Kathy in Cambridge]

to get them fired. Harass. Intimidate. Beat up protestors on the RNC floor.

Makes me think of this song:

Tomorrow Belongs to Me

THE SUN IN THE MEADOW IS SUMMERY WARM
THE STAG IN THE FOREST RUNS FREE
BUT GATHER TOGETHER TO GREET THE STORM
TOMORROW BELONGS TO ME.
THE BRANCH OF THE LINDEN IS LEAFY AND GREEN
THE RHINE GIVES ITS GOLD TO THE SEA.
BUT, SOMEWHERE A GLORY AWAITS UNSEEN
TOMORROW BELONGS TO ME.
SING WITH ME!
THE BABE IN HIS CRADLE IS CLOSING HIS EYES
THE BLOSSOM EMBRACES THE BEE.
BUT SOON, SAYS A WHISPER "ARISE, ARISE"
TOMORROW BELONGS TO ME!
EVERYBODY!
OH, FATHERLAND, FATHERLAND
SHOW US THE SIGN
YOUR CHILDREN HAVE WAITED TO SEE.
THE MORNING WILL COME
WHEN THE WORLD IS MINE
TOMORROW BELONGS TO ME!

11. OMG

From the article: "Still, he said, the student Republican's actions were 'a little creepy' and a 'revival of McCarthyist tactics.'"

I nominate that for Understatement of the Week.

12. probably david horowitz inspired.

he is big on this "commie professors on campus" crap.

[TheMightyFavog]

13. Yeah, that ass cantaloupe of a douchebag came to our campus last semester.

He dumped a shit ton of copies of his latest book which basically tries to link liberals with al-quada.

He came about a week or so after Michael Moore stopped by.

Thousands showed up for Moore, about around 100 showed up for Horowitz.

[jonnyblitz]

14. yup. his website frontpagemag.com is something to read, too.

every so often when I am in an opposition research type of mood I will meander over to his site. It's a hard site to get through without the blood pressure rising, that's for sure. :eyes:

The kid who kicked the protester at the RNC was a member of his College Repuke club.
