Yesterday, someone found some racist graffiti at a dormitory at DePaul's Lincoln Park campus. There were swastikas found, the 'n' word, the usual hateful stuff that mental midgets scrawl. The Chicago Police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.

So far so good.

But leave it to DePaul further muck up the waters. Denise Mattson, DePaul's Assistant Vice President for Public Relations, is alluding that, surprise, conservatives, specifically, the DePaul Conservative Alliance contributed to the incident.

From UPI:

DePaul University spokesperson Denise Mattson told WBBM Radio the incident was an assault on the university's values.

Mattson said the campus has been politically charged since late January when a new campus organization, the DePaul Conservative Alliance, conducted an "affirmative action bake sale" at which blacks were charged less than whites.

"That certainly created some dialogue about affirmative action policies and practices about minorities on campus," Mattson said.

Let me reiterate: Mattson is an official DePaul University spokesperson, and she is spewing this stuff. Shameful.

Wonder what she thinks about the Methodists down in 'bama burning down those Baptist churches.

Sounds like Ms. Mattson needs some affirmative action training so she can handle differing views from her own looney left, head -up-my-a$$ left wing political views. What a pantload this b**ch must be to work with.

I sent her an email I don't think she will like along with a copy to her boss. Fun to write hot emails, ain't it?

Sure, who else that could be -:)))) Since Islamists, Leftists or simply deranged folks could not be responsible, it must be Republicans -:)))) Neo Nazis just can't study at Depaul I suppose, unless they are Islamo nazis-:))))
