Four military recruiters hastily fled a job fair Tuesday morning at UC Santa Cruz after a raucous crowd of student protesters blocked an entrance to the building where the Army and National Guard had set up information tables.
Members of Students Against War, who organized the counter-recruiting protest, loudly chanted "Don't come back. Don't come back" as the recruiters left the hilltop campus, escorted by several university police officers.

They'd piss their pants. I know you know that and most of us here know that, but the guys who talk "revolution" have no clue. In a fight they'd be tripping over each other to surrender-and then whining about their "rights" which they had just tried to flush down the toilet.
Where have you been?
The Right cannot protest the left in this country. You would be immediately hauled off by jack-booted thugs, or beaten to a pulp by union thugs. Any protest by the Right against the left is characterized as an assault, while left protests against the Right are called "Free Speech".
This is because liberalism = fascism.
I'd love to smack that grin off his face.
Always, always, it's the liberal way.
See the photos oat #20. They are violent protestors and that is NOT protected.
Look how they physically pushed aside the staff and their sign up tables, how they are violently intimidating people, screaming at them, blocking others physically from visiting the recruiters.
Who are we to believe, you or our lying eyes?

UPDATE: SAW has removed the contact information from its press release and is now lying about the fact that it made the info publicly available on the Internet. I am leaving it up. If you are contacting them, I do not condone death threats or foul language. As for SAW, my message is this: You are responsible for your individual actions. Other individuals are responsible for theirs. Grow up and take responsibility.

To: UC Santa Cruz Community
From: Denice D. Denton, Chancellor, and David S. Kliger, Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
On April 11, at the UC Santa Cruz Career Fair, a small group of individuals violated the principles they claimed to embrace – those of peaceful assembly and freedom of speech. In using threatening and aggressive tactics to prevent interested students from contacting military recruiters, these protesters infringed on the rights of others and acted with intimidation, intolerance and disrespect. Many did so with their faces covered, unwilling to take public responsibility for their actions.
The university, like any public body, has established guidelines that protect rights of freedom of speech, expression and assembly. Moreover, this campus provides in its Principles of Community a clear statement of standards for behavior that it expects of all its members, including the expectation that reasoned discourse includes a free exchange of ideas with mutual respect and consideration of differences.
Despite repeated efforts to engage with the Students Against War group, to discuss the time, place, and manner in which their protest could occur safely, the group declined to communicate further. A letter to them on March 27 reiterated the desire to collaborate, but there was no response from the group.
We are extremely concerned by the behaviors of the approximately 75 protesters, whose actions are not consistent with the values of our campus community, including 15,000 students. We apologize on behalf of the campus to those whose rights were violated, and we will take appropriate disciplinary action against students who are found to have been in violation of campus policies.
In contrast to the disrespectful and sometimes dangerous behavior of the protesters, true character was demonstrated by the nearly 800 students who attended the career fair for its intended purpose and by the many faculty and staff who encountered the protesters with composure and self-control.
Our primary concern at the Career Fair was ensuring the safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors. We also held the goal of protecting the rights of our students to have access to the 90 employers attending the event, including the military recruiters.
Although the situation was extremely volatile, staff, faculty, and military recruiters used admirable restraint to prevent a serious situation from escalating to a point where public safety would have been further jeopardized.
We thank all those students, staff and faculty who made the best of a difficult situation, and we appreciate the vast majority of our campus community who demonstrate the ideals of our democracy by respecting the rights of all individuals.
seen this?!
I hadn't seen that. Horrible.
Fine .. they don't take our Taxpayer Money
Thanks for the ping, prairiebreeze
If you really want to get nauseated, check out Malkins blog. She linked to a PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE press release with some of these moonbats contact info on it.
The hate filled, racist and sexist emails she'd received are disgusted. She's posted some of them on her blog.
Any one of these recruiters could've taken on 4 of these liberal scumbags simultaneously and caused unforgettable bodily damage in doing so. Of course they didn't, but frankly I'd stand up and cheer that action.
Oh, dear. I think I'm pretty much ignoring politics for now except for pings, which I appreciate.
One last thought. I'm wondering who or what SAW is tied to...Soros? Ruckus Society? Pacifica/Tides?
Would be interesting to find out.
LOL, good idea. The stuff Malkin has received is typical foul mouthed moonbattery.
