Isn’t it the liberal mantra that the ‘end’ justify the ‘means’, any means? If you believed that you had to face the consequence of your actions, you would no longer be a liberal.

Exactly!

It’s fascinating, isn’t it? If the Left grows up believing that anything goes and there are no consequences for unethical and/or criminal behavior

It’s fascinating, isn’t it? If the Left grows up believing that anything goes and there are no consequences for unethical and/or criminal behavior, when, exactly are the ethics and morality supposed to kick in, and why would they?

I’m not surprised that the country is generating Clintons and Jeffersons and people who believe that voter fraud is acceptable; what I’m surprised at is how relatively few have come to light so far.

So it’s perfectly fine to post hate lit as long as you’re also smearing ~~fellow students~~ conservatives in the process.

Fixed that for ya.

if the Right had actually done this…

DOOMSDAY ON CAMPUS.

there would be mass hysteria if the same lame punishment were given to the Right.

The solution to this is easy: some conservative students should put up similar posters again and frame the weirdos for it then see if the probation really means anything.

Now that the university has wimped out, it’s time to sue the bastards for slander. Let them know that trashing conservatives carries consequences.

Because the little bastard KNEW there would be no consequences.

That was my thought exactly. So, what is this teaching our kids? What the heck is going to happen when they get out in the real world?

Just because you won some fancy awards doesn’t mean you can start using them fancy words.

Well that’s great,probation,so isn’t this facinating,
so some students get indocturnated by the left,Liberal professors,or bluntly socially reeducated by the lefty ideals,where are precious minds should be educated with no overhanging agendas by the left,and we wonder why we have
the Clintons,or Jefferson with cash in the freezer. Some of these students will go on to politics and engineer voting fraud,or tampering with vehicles(flatting tires)that the otherside uses to say get Republican shut-ins to vote,
because,I think the last case,those Liberals who slashed tires also got probation.

I would have like to see what would have happened if YAF had actually had done that. They would have been crucified.

They should do it, just to see what the reaction of GW would be.

Only conservatives commit hate crimes. Liberals commit “humor” when they try.

Sounds like a great school to send your kids, and mortgage your house for the education.

You have to understand it’s all about standards. In this case, standards of dicipline. There’s one standard for conservative students and another for liberal students.

Does this still leave them open to civil litigation by YAF?

Or worse, sent to UDel and forced to attend their resident advisor program.

I’ll admit I’m most disturbed by the lack of a “reeducation” component to this punishment. Seriously, where’s the requirement that they learn about conservatism and other components of the diversity that exists on campus?

“It was act of civil disobedience,” Kokesh told The Hatchet Wednesday afternoon. “We knew we were violating postering policy and we were willing to take the consequences.”

Because the little bastard KNEW there would be no consequences.

I thought they said the responsible parties would be expelled.

Of course, that was before they knew it was satire.

Have the students set up some sort of legal defense fund to collect the $25? George Soros says he’ll kick in the first $5 to get things rolling.
