The academic freedom campaign could not have paid for a better publicity stunt than the one three leftist professors at Duke University gave it for free Tuesday night. In this case, a cross-dressing feminist professor and her cohorts tried to talk 20 students – male and female – into stripping during the middle of David Horowitz’s speech. With one move, they stripped away any pretense that certain academic departments are anything other than political parties – complete with street theater aimed at undermining their critics.
The Speech
For weeks, Students for Academic Freedom activist Steve Miller laid the groundwork to bring David Horowitz to Duke. He tirelessly canvassed the university, distributed flyers, and networked with any organization that might have an interest in hearing the lifelong civil rights activist and leading critic of university abuses. During the day, Duke President Richard Brodhead met with Miller and Horowitz, saying his university had no need to adopt an Academic Bill of Rights to protect students from faculty misbehavior.
Then Horowitz spoke.
Miller’s hard work had paid off, as campus police estimated the crowd at 800 out of a student body of 6,400. “It was more than any student sponsored event in recent history,” Miller said. Only university-sponsored events – such as Harry Belafonte’s speech on Martin Luther King Day, or Colin Powell’s visit – attracted larger audiences. By contrast James Carville had recently stammered to a crowd of only thirty. C-SPAN had cameras rolling, to broadcast the address at a later date.
Guess they'll have to change their name to the Pink Devils......
Been a tough stretch for old Duke.
The good news is that JJ Reddick is getting braces.
And what about their La Crosse team? Violent rape at a party where three team members live? And now their bra-burning lesbo contingent smirks a great man like Horowitz??
Tuition at Duke = $43,000 per year, and they pay for THS?
The biggest waste of money........
THS? Sorry, it's Friday and I'm a bit slow...
Said they were "feminists" - didn't mention their sex...
(and no, I didn't mean to use "gender"...)
How about waiting for the facts, or is that too much trouble?
That is extremely ironic. Why would a man-hating feminist cross-dress like a man?????
You mean, how about waiting for the 43 DNA results? No trouble at all.
More zany mayhem from the University of New Jersey at Durham bump!!
Maybe they thought this description more flattering than to say Our Resident Lesbo...
AGREED. WAIT FOR the FACTS. But dont expect the MSM to report them. why?
YOur about to see a Tawana Brawley remake done here. The woman pressing charges has a lot of holes in her story. Cops were at the house 16mins prior to her 911 call and there was no party going on at the time.
DA is trying to downplay DNA evidence because it will show that no one on the team was involved.
Drudge has a great story on this.
My take is they were trying to incite a racial incident and staged this whole thing.
Well, you sure sound like you're already got them convicted.
Perhaps you don't realize the DA has now said that perhaps it wasn't THOSE 46 guys, but 3 OTHER guys who attacked her. Three other guys nobody has mentioned before, until the DA decided that just because the DNA might not match the players that doesn't mean a rape didn't occur.

Something happened over there. I don't know what did happen and I'm not willing to say team members were or were not involved. My two cents is, and this is saying something happened, if no one on the team was involved directly they knew about it and could have stopped it. If something didn't happen I still find it telling of the report of racial slurs out in public from such an 'elite' university that has a majority, or seemingly so, of holier than thou damned yankees. Of course that's just my two cents living within the area....
And what about their La Crosse team? Violent rape at a party where three team members live?
