An Augsburg College student and Sarah Palin supporter from Alaska was beaten on Election Night while walking to her dorm and called a racist by a group of four young black women because she had on a McCain/Palin presidential campaign button, authorities and the victim said.
Annie Grossmann, a freshman on the college hockey team, suffered a suspected concussion and blurred vision from being punched in the eye but declined medical attention,
SNIP
Grossmann said she was in a dorm lobby with a handful of fellow Republicans watching the election returns with a bunch of Democrats around next to me, cheering [Barack] Obama on and rubbing it in our faces.
Once Obama was declared the winner, Grossmann said, she left the building alone shortly after 9:30 p.m. and headed to her room.
Under a skyway connecting the two buildings, the four women bigger than I am came up to her, she said.
One approached me and got in my face and called me racist because I had the pin on. That really ticked me off, but I kind of left it alone because she was so much bigger than I am, said the 5-foot-2, 120-pounder who played boys high school hockey in Alaska. The girls in the background were just a little bigger than me. They were mocking me from the sidelines.
I didnt say anything. This one [bigger] girl grabbed me by the shoulders and was holding me. After about five minutes, I just wanted to get out of there.
Grossmann said she told the women, 'You guys dont even know me. Theres no reason to think Im racist.
At that point, she said, she pushed the bigger one in the group, and she punched me, and the back of my head hit a brick wall.

I just hope it is not another face carving incident.
fat ugly beaches
It’s too bad this will define Obambi and his wife’s Presidency. What a shame.
Hmmmm...wonder what color the other “students” were....
Ya they tacked that on at the end of the article.
We better get used to it. Most of these @$$holes are going to be on his "Civilian Defense Force (Gestapo).
I see there is a job opening in Anchorage. It would be worth it just so that my girl would grow up Alaskan. I like their character.
My very anti-obama bumper stickers are still on my car. Yesterday, I stopped for gas and as I was waiting a 55ish africian american woman stopped and read my stickers. She adopted this hands on hips pose and informed me that I would soon see “who’s in charge now.” I was just stunned into silence (a rare event for me). In the bay next to me were two africian american men - both 60 - 70 (they looked and acted like pastors). Anyway, the one gentleman comes over and touches my arm, and says “young lady, don’t you worry about what she says, some folks mommas didn’t teach them a thing about manners.” The lady looked at him like he was nuts, but she didn’t say anything else. Very weird experience, for sure.

I wonder what color the girls were. I wonder if we could call them racists.
I hope this stupid stuff doesn’t develop into a larger problem.
Here’s a thought...we won’t have to reason with them anymore.
Buy lots of ammo, and learn to shoot straight, if you haven't already.
The Augsburg campus group Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual Support Services has an annual “Coming Out Day” at this Lutheran college. Interesting.
I might need to pick me up a “street sweeper.” They work great on zombies.
It coming. Are you ready?
Glad you had someone with sense back you up.
Or just get a shotgun.
Can't get the distance work done with a shotgun.
As I’ve said for nearly 10 years on this forum, the most racist people on the planet are BLACK WOMEN. Which is why I am soooooo thrilled to have the bitter bigot Michelle Obama in the White House!
From the article: "and called a racist by a group of four young black women"
O veritas!
Does it matter between slugs and shot?
Getting my first scatter gun soon, what's the best home-defense load?
AH....I missed that....
Do you think the assailants are math majors? Or maybe, philosophy majors?
Bless him. There is hope.
NOT GUILTY
Methinks they are Education majors, with a minor in "Cultural Studies".
Minnisota is where that Prof had to resign because he was stealing McCain signs.
Must be the part of that Hope and Change hokum that I missed. Yes, we must all unite under his Holiness, the Lord Barack (screw you white people) Obama.
It will warm my heart knowing more of my tax money will given to people like that lady who thinks someone, (the Evil white people), owes her a living.
I did, too. I was shocked to find it mentioned at all, let alone in the first few sentences.
I think this girl needs to do three things:
1. Understand why the local paper has the name STAR Tribune, as in Red Star.
2. Call the State Police and report this whole episode, get sketches made and make sure she is on record as having reported this assault.
3. Strongly consider a transfer to a State and a school that is not Totalitarian.
“Yes, we must all unite under his Holiness, the Lord Barack (screw you white people) Obama.”

They are buying a mutt from a homeless shelter and plan to name it “Whitey,” then they plan to kick its ass all around Whitey’s House.
It was hilarious.......
First we had the Jena 6.
Now we have the Augsburg 4.
I think we’re both bordering on.....
“Don't blame me Comrade, I voted for McCain / Palin”
- bumper sticker on my car, someone will call me a racist?
Can't wait for that moment of my life.
“I think were both bordering on.....”

You tell me what you’re bordering on first.
The truth.
My hubby was in the gun shop today and in the hour he was there, he said there were about 15 people in the shop. This shop is in a small (300 people or so) town in Iowa. The guy that owns it is in his mid seventies. Does decent business considering where he’s located, but I think this year could be a record breaker for him!!
Load the first rounds as Fiocchi Low recoil 2 3/4” OO Buck, ragged , last one should be a slug ,terminal.
A small gun store near me sold 50,000 rounds in two hours last week.
What kind of hockey player takes $%#@ from anybody? Every hockey player I know would probably clean their clocks.
rcf;All
I have a Mossberg HS410 and the instruction pamplet says no slugs or large size shot. I contaccted the company and assked around and the only answer i got was the barrel was modified. Can you explain better?
I also have other weapons so this is only for indoor security!!! Thanks
Barrel is not designed for it, you will get galling in the barrel, so use steel shot turkey loads, 3” or 2 3/4”.Get the clear plastic shells to see whats inside.I like the Fiocchi myself.
But, point taken.
LOL! Ah yes, I should really have already guessed!
