Are they able to book a speaker at the Trinity Church? I hear there's a large welcoming crowd there.

I had a friend in college in the 80's who wrote a letter to the school paper in protest to minority groups getting more money from the University for their clubs than any other groups. A lot more money.

He got death threats.

This kind of thing has gone from the prank phone call to the mainstream. Hate is a campus activity as long as you're hating the 'right groups.'

Even with documentation, it's ignored. Because of the thin-skinned, hysterical rhetoric of those in charge of the haters, nobody wants to take them on. As a result they eat up ground until the rest of us have nowhere to stand.

Taken uncut but with no sound and put up again with a voice-over, these could be powerful ammunition against them.

UC Irvine used to be famous for being the most boring, irrelevant, out-of-the-loop campus in the entire UC system, where nothing ever happened. Everybody wants to get admitted to UCLA or Berkeley, and if not, then Santa Barbara. Santa Cruz if you're a hippie. Davis if you want to be a veterinarian.

But Irvine? That was like exile to Siberia.

Bizarre how it has turned into the hotspot for radicalism.

Now if any UCI equipment or infrastructure was used, UCI could take action.

Dear Zombie,

Some of this stuff has been happening and hiding in plain view, like the keffiyeh terrorist gear (since 1967!), so Americans busy polishing their granite kitchen counters & opining on fine olive oil & California vintages or playing virtual video games, won't wake up and smell the Keffiyeh!

Here in Northern Virginia, how did this go from Republican conservative country to having the terrorists next door? (Yes, all three boys next door to my folks' went to the Islamic Saudi Academy, hated women, said antisemitic things they learned in school as children, and their mother was a blue eyed blond American woman from Colorado!

It's happened in all our communities while we focused inwards & retreated from history thanks to Jimmy Carter's cowardice and navel gazing and guilt-inducing self hatred.

The story is spreading and will be at critical mass by the Sunday Morning pundit shows. Vieira Punts on Possible McClellan-Soros Connection
By Mark Finkelstein

Put it all together, and there's every reason to wonder whether Soros isn't behind McClellan's manifesto. But given the golden opportunity to pursue the matter, Meredith chose to move on. Here's the relevant exchange, which came during the second half-hour of this morning's Today.... VIEIRA: But what about this charge that some people have that you're just trying to make a buck?

MCCLELLAN: Well, I don't think they're familiar with PublicAffairs, the publisher that I worked with, that's not the way they operate. I don't think they're familiar with why I wrote this book. You know, I have a higher loyalty than my loyalty, necessarily, to my past work. That's a loyalty to the truth, and it’s a loyalty to the values I was raised on.

So McClellan served up the issue to Vieira on a silver platter. He mentions PublicAffairs, and even says people aren't familiar with it or the way it operates. Fine! Why not tell us, Scott? But Meredith never asked him to do so. A failure of NBC staff to have provided Vieira with the Soros-related facts, or Meredith's reluctance to undermine the impact of McClellan's allegations? We don't know, but hopefully someone will get to the bottom of the Soros connection soon. Don't count on Keith Olbermann getting into it, though, when McClellan appears this evening on Countdown.

oops wrong thread. I hate when I do that.

re: #25 alegrias "....from Colorado!"
Well that explains it all! LOL!

re: #16 realwest

Yes, though this has given me a bit of an idea -- an insight into why Irvine of all places.

Not to be an intellectual elitist or anything, just telling the facts:

If you're a top-flight admittee to the UC system, you get your choice of campuses to attend. Most choose UCLA or Berkeley for the prestige. The second-tier students might choose Santa Barbara, San Diego, and so on down the list.

Only those students who barely squeaked in to the UC system end up getting the dregs of the campuses, at Irvine.

So the Muslim students who are truly outstanding end up at the other campuses, where (for the most part) they just study for their engineering degrees and whatnot.

It's the ones who are disgruntled, and who feel slighted, and who aren't quite as sharp that end up at Irvine. So a culture of resentment has developed, and they've built that resentment into a political movement.

/It's an interesting theory, at least.

United States Constitution, III 3:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

re: #32 realwest

Here's the wiki information on it- looks like mid-50s. My previous research on it shows it is still on the books- if jihadis on America soil isn't cause enough to try this law again, I don't know what is.

Sorry to be off-topic, but I'm listening to the horsecrap from the DNC conference to determine whether or not the Florida and Michigan primary votes can count, and it's strictly a dog and pony show. Right now it's being asserted that Obama really had WAY more votes in Michigan (he had none) than was previously thought. This guy Brewer is saying "we advised" those who were for Obama and Edwards to vote uncommitted, and "exit polls" showed that 75% of the uncommitted vote was for Obama, therefore they should once again shaft the Hill and annoint the Obamamessiah, as obviously directed by the mad knightess of capitol hill, Nancy "butt-face" Pelosi.

I love the way the dems are ripping their party to shreds right now. The glorious grand coalition party is turning out to be a road to ultimate ruin.

Nobody can blame that on us.

Part of the increased presence of Muslims on US campuses is due to the funding for professors in Islamic studies by the government.

Just recently, the head of a religious studies deparment asked me if I wanted to be considered for a fully-tenured chair of Islamic studies ... I couldn't believe it.

Of course, that doesn't explain the same mentality in the Ivy institutions, Zombie.

At the Ivy league institutions the anti-Americanism and anti-Israel bias seems to be derived from "ivory tower communism," an effete dabbling in revolution as an intellectual exercise (and to get chicks).

At Irvine, in contrast, it's like the "Arab street": blind hatred, simmering jealousy, a revolution of the underclass.

And I shouldn't, I guess, have given you a flippant answer to your question. You are of course correct; unfortunately, as I've said out here before, we are fighting a GWoT which, insofar as shooting goes, involves only Iraq and Iran and most Americans, unless they have family or friends in the miliary, don't feel any pain from those fights.

re: #60 victor_yugo I agree completely. I'm just giving you a legal interpretation; frankly Iran declared war on us in 1979 when they took over American territory (to say nothing of the Kidnapped hostages) and we didn't do anything.
Legally it really does require an Act of Congress either declaring war or acknowledging that a State of War exists (think of FDR's speech and Congress' action vs Japan after Pearl Harbor).

re: #58 alegrias

I actually was gobsmacked when I first learned that Sirhan Sirhan was a Palestinian radical. I never really knew much about the RFK killing, but in nothing I ever saw did it mention that he was Palestinian. Just a "nutcase."

it was not actually until about five years ago that I first learned of it (on the Internet, of course.) I was like, "Holy cow! Why does no one ever discuss this?"

I once even watched an hour-long TV documentary about the assassination, and it didn't mention the word "Palestinian" even once.

It has a foreword by Col. George "Bud" Day, who took John Kerry to court for slandering US POWs.

I recommend this book. It holds Tom Hayden the California politician and rioter at the 1968 Democrat convention, responsible for much treason against the US.

It discusses the US law of treason.

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or, in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."
