AURORA, N.Y. (Nov. 7)--Responding to a study showing a gross imbalance of Democrats over Republicans on the faculty of Wells College, located in Aurora, NY, a Wells professor distributed a campus-wide email calling for Republicans to be forcibly lobotomized and labeling Republicans “stupid.”

On Thursday, November 6th, the Wells Republicans issued a press release describing the study they had conducted of the political party registrations of the members of the social sciences and humanities faculties at the college. The study revealed that members of parties of the left (Democrats, Greens, Working Families) outnumbered members of parties of the right (Republicans and Conservatives) by a ratio of 92%/8%. The online FrontPage Magazine promptly picked up the story. See article: http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=10699

Responding to the press release and study, Wells Professor Tom Vawter sent an email to all members of the Wells community calling Republicans “stupid.” He closed his email with this quote: “’Lobotomies for Republicans: It's not just a good idea; it’s the Law!’ --Yellow Dog.”

Wells Republican Chairman Kristy Lee Hochenberger, a junior from Syracuse, NY, responded to Vawter’s comments: “We are outraged by Professor Vawter’s comments. Calling Republicans “stupid” is wrong and misguided. Calling for all Republicans to be forcibly lobotomized is frightening,” said Hochenberger.

“A conservative professor saying a similar thing would be gone. If a professor made an analogous comment in response to a press release from a liberal women’s group, he would be out of a job by sundown. Cries of ‘hate crime,’ ‘threats of violence’ and ‘misogyny’ would echo through the land. Feminist and liberal leaders would be flying into Aurora from around the country to support the beleaguered students and call for the punishment of the professor. The national media would focus on the story.”

Added Hochenberger: “In yesterday’s press release, we cited the experience of a number of Wells students who are reluctant to express their Republican or conservative views, given the intimidating atmosphere that some of the liberal professors on the faculty have created. Prof. Vawter has unwittingly given a perfect illustration of the kind of intolerant, intimidating attitudes that the Republican students described in yesterday’s press release.”

Concluded Hochenberger: “We call on the Wells College administration, and in particular Wells College President Lisa Marsh Ryerson, to condemn Prof. Vawter’s intemperate language and to take measures to ensure that Republicans at Wells will be free to express themselves without fear of this kind of hateful and threatening response.”

Left-wing campus loony ping.

"Wells prof sent a campus-wide email calling Republicans "stupid" and calling for Republicans to be forcibly lobotomized."

That would turn us into democrats overnight!

[RebelBanker]

Of course they want Republicans lobotomized, then they would be Democrats!

[You Dirty Rats]

I guess 92% - 8% is too much intellectual diversity for some people.

[Our man in washington]

I was thinking it would make things more fair--you know, like a handicap in golf.

GMTA!

Someone should send this to hannity...radio or TV..maybe he'll put it on the air.

Bump & Ping

I must have already been lobotomized, I have no idea what you mean!

[The_Victor]

That would turn us into democrats overnight!

I think you're on to something here. LOL.

[CSM]

Beat ya to it! I figured that would be the response from 95% of the freepers, I was glad to be the first!

Great Minds Think Alike!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

The Wells Republicans are sending the release to all the conservative national news outlets. As noted, FrontPage magazine picked up yesterday's release on the study.

Hopefully the outrageous reaction from the professor will be even more newsworthy, and Hannity or O'Reilly will pick up.

[CaptainK]

Brilliant point. A possible democrat voter registration tactic.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Can we expect to see Gephardt include this in his health care proposal? Free, indeed forced, lobotomies for all Republicans?

YYEEEEEeeeeeeeHHhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

I can't help but look on the bright side of this. This kind of response would NOT have happened five years ago. And now look and all the good things going on. Conservative students are fighting back. There are venues and supporters of their efforts. There are major media forces that report their opression.

It's a new day, folks. We taking back our country.

Wow! He`s a professor! What a suprise! And guess what? Nick "million mogadishu" Genova..still working at Columbia! What a suprise! Send your kid off to college with a level head, watch him come home completely psychotic, and it`s bankrupts you to boot! What`s needed; Home teaching for college. A new breed of graduates who would stay in reality and would know what the hell they were doing for once when they get a job.

How positively Stalinist of him.
