College conservatives say the excitement of a historic presidential election — which could send the first black American to the White House — has become clouded by an atmosphere of intimidation and hostility on campus.
“People on campus who say they’re the most tolerant, they simply do not walk the walk,” said Brand Kroeger, chairman of the George Washington University College Republicans and head of the D.C. Federation of College Republicans.
Mr. Kroeger said he has been flooded with calls from students who feel they cannot express their views in favor of Republicans for fear of being shouted down.
GW spokeswoman Tracy Schario disagreed. She said the political atmosphere on campus hasn’t changed much over the years.
“Our students speak out about everything and are not in fear of the liberal elite. It’s just as partisan as it was the first time I moved here 15 years ago,” she said.
GW College Democrats President Cory Struble was accused of sanctioning harassment of conservative students with comments he made last week on WRGW Radio.
“We want to marginalize College Republicans as much as possible. . . . We want to make sure that GW is an even more uncomfortable environment for Republicans and conservatives who seek to destroy our country,” he said.
Campus Republicans were outraged, saying the comments blatantly incited political intimidation.
“There is no place for such intolerant, bigoted comments,” said College Republican spokesman Brandon Hines. Mr. Struble was not available for comment.
Other College Democrats said Mr. Struble made the comments in jest and was not threatening to harass conservative students.
“Those comments were intended to rally the troops, so to speak.

Little advice when confronted with liberal activists/protesters. You really don’t need to get into a physical altercation with them. Typically, you just need to wait for a stiff breeze to come by and it should knock them over.
if obama gets in then the teachers union will be instructing their members to do the same in all grade schools.
It’s always like this on campus..but it’s like this in communities now. I wear my shirts all the time. I am not intimidated and people, people I know and respect, confide in me that they’re scared. Welcome to the new America.
This is the real reason behind the so-called Bradley Effect.
I used to wonder about how/why large groups of lemmings went running off a cliff to their deaths.
After hearing from the Obama-roids and their undecided brethren,I see that lemmings aren’t the only ones who behave that way.
How come liberal bigots are the “elite?”
How about “liberal scum” or “liberal swine” instead?
You have to use the same tactic and start calling them Fascists, Brownshirts when they confront you. Cringe and tell them stop assaulting you. Don’t hit me! Scream and keep calling them on it.
the thing is with Dem men is that most are all girlie men who like to scream at you but won’t do anything unless there’s at least 3 on to 1.
now the Dem women are something else, no class, big and butch or skinny short haired pant and t shirt wearing loud mouth ,masculine,brainwashed idiots
The comfort level the Left now has in not only revealing their true facist colors, but seemingly bragging about it, should send a chill down the spine of every true American. Obi hasn’t even won the election and look at what we’re seeing. Imagine an FBI, IRS, Secret Service, Justice Dept... all under this thug’s control.
Just ensure you’re never downwind of that stiff breeze:-)
I fail to see the humor. In fact I think this borders on a civil rights violation of freedom of association.
exactly what I do
one woman started saying I was homophobic
the reply was hey I am not scared of homosexuals so if you are going to name me something at least use the right words
tell them about who is the intolerant one , you can’t tolerate my views.
got told to gom back to where I come from, I just shouted bigot
I found that if you use their tactics against them they have nothing to say back

fight fight with fire so to speak
The Frankfurt School plan comes to fruition. Just need that one election to take over the country...
Your students appear to BE liberal elitists. This reminds me of the NAACP spokeswoman saying the lawn display of McCain dressed as a KKK member with Obama running away from him is "friendly".

getting all worked up I have come across some blacks who have acted up big with comments like the white boy will be now our slaves or those white bi%%%%% will be our slaves and how they are getting money for slavery
I will not stop going against obama and even if the messiah is elected then I will not stop then either
Call them
FASCISTS.
That drives them NUTS.
Only cuz they have to look it up and can’t find “fashist” in the dictionary.
