Art Robinson had the gall to run for Congress in Oregon against far-left Democrat Peter DeFazio, co-founder of the House Progressive Caucus. Now the Oregon progressives are targeting his children. World Net Daily reported:
In an effort to do my part in rescuing our country from the out-of-control Obama administration, last year I ran for Congress in Oregon’s 4th District against 12-term incumbent, far-left Democrat Peter DeFazio, co-founder of the House Progressive Caucus.
Although I won the nominations of the Republican, Independent and Constitution Parties and the endorsement of the Libertarian Party, a massive media smear campaign by DeFazio, paid for with money raised by MoveOn.org and from special interests favored by DeFazio in Washington, resulted in a 54.5 percent to 43.6 percent victory for DeFazio in a race that was expected to be much closer.
Although I had never run for public office before, I immediately announced my candidacy for Congress again in 2012.
However, when you take a stand for what’s right, sometimes there is retribution.
On Nov. 4, 2010, as soon as the election results were in and they were sure their candidate had won, faculty administrators at Oregon State University gave new meaning to the term “political payback.”
They initiated an attack on my three children – Joshua, Bethany and Matthew – for the purpose of throwing them all out of the OSU graduate school, despite their outstanding academic and research accomplishments. OSU is a liberal socialist Democrat stronghold in Oregon that received a reported $27 million in earmark funding from my opponent, Peter DeFazio, and his Democrat colleagues during the last legislative session.

Nothing from the left surprises me anymore.
Sue OSU!
This is provable conspiracy and I’m sure some fine lawyer, here at FR, can identify other laws OSU has violated.
Paging Michael Farris!
Where is the right’s/conservative organized and funded version of MoveOn.org?
Doubt you can get either of them removed, this is Oregon we are talking about, but they should be on a remember list. There was at one time a Black List, subversives (Progressives) should be identified and remembered as such.
OSU must have offered some reason for taking those actions, what is it?
I don’t know. I am trying to find more info. I am a PhD Nuclear Engineer, though I’ve never come across any of these OSU fiends.
I hope they stay til the bitter end and ultimately win their fight against OSU, but if not can’t the kids finish somewhere else? From what I see in the article
they have done a ton of work so I don’t blame them for fighting.
Heard this fight song decades ago when I was in college
“OSU! Our pants are down to you!
“Beavers, b@stards, sons of b*tches too!
“We’ll smoke your cigarettes,
“And we’ll screw your majorettes,
“OSU, F*** You!!!
Anyway, got some real heroes on the OSU faculty. They’re not afraid to target three innocent undergraduate students.
Nope, with tenure they don’t got to be ‘fraid anuthin, bro.
Thanks. When someone’s ambushed, the first step is to figure out where the shots are coming from. OSU’s stated reasons can be challenged, answered, refuted...once identified. Let us know if you find anything, I couldn’t.
This appears to be outrageous. What are the grounds upon which OSU is seeking the dismissal of the three students? Have the media been notified?
For all I know, all three of them could be caught blatantly using other people's research.
Something more is going on here than Robinson is telling us.
Pound drudge with this story
Bump for Art Robinson and his kids.
OSU has surely broken a few laws here. There has to be a high powered conservative leaning lawyer out there who can help these kids! What good does it do to put public pressure on these losers? They don’t care! All they care about is payback and furthering their political power. These lefty losers need to go down, and hard!
I’m sure liberals see nothing wrong with this; they’re incapable.
Have the Koch bros send in a team of lawyers.
Welcome to the Soviet State of Oregon. This goes on all the time here.
