Portland State University College Republicans screened the film “Obsession” this week at a campus event. The film focuses radical Islam’s fascination and war with western civilization. During the screening a large contingent of socialists and Muslims stormed into the room and interrupted the show. The Islamo-leftists intimidate and shout down the College Republicans, effectively bullying them out of their own campus event.

Then the videographer was escorted out of the public event.

These College Republicans need to get in touch with FIRE.

Interesting. The PSU website has a warning that it is unsafe and contains a virus. This website did not trigger my antivirus. It was marked as unsafe by several people who visited the site, in my opinion, to keep others from reading what was there. I have posted the contents below for the fearful: PSU President Responds Portland State University President Wim Wiewel has issued an email response to the goings on around his campus, where, last week, members of the Muslim Student Association (MSA), Students United For Palestinian Equal Rights (SUPER), and socialist groups crashed the College Republican’s showing of the film “Obsession”. The MSA, SUPER, and socialists ran the College Republicans out of the room to shouts of “SHAME” and “RACIST”, and later a videographer was ejected for filming in the previously declared “public space” during the hijacked portion of the event, where everyone sat around discussing their feelings. The PSU administration has been flooded with e mails and phone calls, some supporting the College Republicans and their right to hold events that deal with the hard truth on controversial issues, and others condemning the CRs, calling them “intolerant”, “islamophobes”, and “racists” (nevermind that the College Republicans are led by an Arab student, whose Christian family fled Jordan). Here is the official word: “From: PSU Info Date: Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 9:28 PM Subject: Message from President Wiewel on campus free speech In recent days, events organized by a student group have triggered vigorous reactions from other students, and I view this campus tension as an opportunity to clarify our rights and responsibilities as members of the Portland State community.

Sounds more like they needed to call 911. The infiltrators and harassers should have been arrested. They need to try it again and have the cops on speed dial this time.

[DJ Taylor]

The last time our country became as divided as it is now, the Democrats fired on our flag at Fort Sumter.

I wonder who will fire the first shots this time?

[knarf]

No .. the sooner Conservatives develope a love for a good fight, heads will get knocked, teeth will become missing and the blood they love to see will be their own.

WHY, do you suppose, bullies get their way?

Because they're perceived to be physically 'badder' and they might hurt me.

It really IS that simple.

So Conservatives ... stop being Woody Allen and be John Wayne ... Just say, loudy .. "muthaPHUQUE you, ragfhead", and jump swinging.

Yeah ... y'MIGHT get a little hurt ... y'might get a LOT hurt.

But when it's done ... SOMEone is gonn'a think twice about bullying a Conservative.

Oh yeah .. I talk pretty bad in anonymity behind a keyboard because I'm over 65 and fairly decrepid

That's probably why I think and talk this way ... I don't give a shit anymore.

I quit smoking too late in life ... I'm almost dead anyway.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah, I was thinking that these college conservatives need to get in touch with their balls.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Why? The cops would come and arrest the campus republicans.

[henkster]

Yes, the cops will arrest the Republicans. This is how Republics die.

[Chode]

sue the college for an UNSAFE environment!!!

[knarf]

More than college, bro.

We're perceived as wimps because we don't fight.

We don't put the enemy in his and her place in Congress when it is CLEAR they're wrong or illegal or whatever.

And I thank my esteemed colleague on the other side of the aisle for his leadershiop and ... (PEE YUKE !!!)

We're gonn'a have to be ready to physically fight soon.

Like the line Tony delivers in West Side Story;

"Knives, chains, guns ... what's the matter ... scared to get in and protect your turf with bare skin?"

[Viennacon]

Sue the b&stards!

[muir_redwoods]

I’m 63. I taught martial arts for twenty years and hold a third degree black belt. I’d love to surprise one of these punks involved in this sort of flash mob. He might win but he’d never remember the day fondly.

[knarf]

The coops are scared of muzzies .. they're scared they'll be targetted.. the cops have been terrorized ... AND THEY JUMP ON AMERICANS BECAUSE AMERICANS HAVEN'T PUT THEM IN FEAR LIKE THE MUZZIES HAVE !!!

yet

[cripplecreek]

I went to look at their website and this was the first thing I saw.



If Oregon is an open carry state, I suggest holding events like this off campus and heavily armed.

Back in my day, we would have kicked the living shit out of them. Many of us played football, hockey, and rugby and looked at the campus leftists as weak-kneed little faggots. They still are. The only difference is that now, they have the Federal government on their side.

[Kevmo]

Then what do the College Republicans do when the cops refuse to prosecute and arrest on crimes they are actually witnessing?

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Tactically, it would be better for the Republicans to bring in some outsiders to provide security. That is, bring in a few bruisers to give a good thumping to the troublemakers then leave. Only one or two of the Republicans would know who the bruisers were, and they would play dumb.

Such agitators may tell themselves they wouldn’t mind dying for “the cause”, but getting whupped on is a whole different deal.
