Actually, that is 100% right.

Enough political correct nonsense, already.

The word ‘Clueless’ comes to mind.

**Speaking of girls on campus, any update on that young lady who was told to move out of her dorm b/c her roommates broke into her luggage and found guns?
I have not heard anything at all in three weeks.

These people are mentally deranged, they have no fulcrum, no clue to their insanity. Nothing is right, nothing is wrong, there are no absolutes and they really believe this insanity. A perfect example of this: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

My suspicion is that the real reason for the diss was that it’s obscene. But can’t say that.

So what is needed then is a sign that says “F—K EVERYONE”

The graffiti vandals who defaced the Hanukkah sign were probably leftists.

Her obscenity is just as bad as the swastikas.

Hate is hate.

I recently saw a Jordan Peterson video in which he played out the following representative exchange:

“Socialism is a great political philosophy that will help everyone!”
“Yeah? Well what about Stalin? He killed millions. He was brutal. That’s socialism. We’ve seen it. It’s no good.”
“Hey, that’s not fair!! Socialism has come a long way since Stalin!”
“Yeah? Well what would you think about a Nazi that said that? Give Naziism another chance? We’ve come a long way since Hitler?? How about NO!!”

But now witness a University suggesting that Nazis are just like everyone else and should be included within the realm of academic tolerance?

Most of these “hate crimes” are faked by liberals trying to prove what they are certain is prevalent. If it was prevalent, they wouldn’t be faking any events, much less generating such a long literal fake hate crimes list.

Now there's a movement I could support ... until other people joined it.

“Nazi,” in this mind of this twit, being anyone who dares to disagree with her in even the most minute way. “Punch Nazis” is a slogan meant to dehumanize anyone to the right of Alinsky in order to justify any level of violence against them, and this is just a spinoff. So, if the Post author thinks we’re going to take up this idiot’s part, he’s very much mistaken.

Jews are as popular as Christians with the rabid left elitists.

That’s because his sign only applied to liberals.

“UMass Amherst emphatically rejects Nazis, and any other hate group, a view expressed in the students’ sign,” the statement said. “However, we are sensitive to the use of profanity, which some could find inappropriate. The university respects the students’ right to display the sign and it may remain up.”

It's not that they didn't want Nazis singled out and hated.

It's that they thought the obscenity would antagonize some students.

That's a surprising attitude for a school - especially one as PC as UMass - to take in the 21st century.

Today's PC is hardly the same as the old concern for propriety, but there is a little overlap: they aren't complete opposites.

What if she said “EVERYONE, F–K NAZIS. THEY ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.”

Is that inclusive enough?

Substitute Communists, and I have actually seen this within the public school literature.
