GWU Threatens Conservative Group Over Posters They Didn't Make
Tolerance, leftwing administration style.
A student named Abdel Wahab and several others confessed to creating phony anti-Muslim posters and attributed them to the Young Americans Foundation (a conservative student group) who's moniker he put on the posters as 'satire.'
The University, with predictable disregard for all facts as the administration at Duke was during the non-rape case, rushed to threaten and condemn the Y.A.F.. Predictably, the story was picked up on Islamic propaganda wires in order to spread the faux-outrage.
This bears repeating: THE Y.A.F. DIDN'T MAKE THE POSTERS, AND THE UNIVERSITY IS NONETHELESS THREATENING THEM.
Perhaps they're pretending not to know the truth. The students who did make the posters confessed and said it was 'satire.'
The students - Adam Kokesh, freshman Yong Kwon, senior Brian Tierny, freshman Ned Goodwin, Maxine Nwigwe, Lara Masri and Amal Rammah - said their motives were misinterpreted. . . .Kokesh, a graduate student and Iraq War veteran, gained celebrity over the past year because of his vocal opposition to the war. Nwigwe and Rammah are also graduate students.Just another in a recent spat of leftwing smear attempts and lies fabricated to cause maximum OUTRAGE at conservatives with no basis in fact and no regard for truth.
If the University of George Washington doesn't submit public, written apologies to the Y.A.F., I suggest the Y.A.F. contact the FIRE and sue the University for slander and libel.
UPDATE by Rusty: Stacy McCain at the Washington Times has more. PS: So does Bryan Preston.
