...Well, now, it turns out, the College Republicans have invited Coulter to speak on campus at USC. She’ll be speaking on October 24th as part of the so-called, "National Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week."
Already there are calls for her to be uninvited from campus–and there will surely be protests of the event...

We are not yet certain of the logistics for this event...

...but MARK YOUR CALENDARS...
...for Wednesday, October 24!

And from www.dailytrojan.com:

...Predictably, there are those who are already planning to protest her words.

"I would definitely support [a protest against Coulter]," said Gary Yeritsian, a senior majoring in history. Yeritsian is also co-director of USC Students for Justice in Palestine, but declined to comment on behalf of the organization.

"For all of the problems of his right-wing politics … Ahmadinejad has not been responsible for anything like the scale of injustice and bloodshed carried out by the United States and enthusiastically supported by such ideologues as Coulter," he added.

Planning for the protests has begun through group-wide e-mails circulated to members of SJP through its Yahoo! Groups message board. Yeritsian confirmed the messages' authenticity but said none of the authors held leadership positions in the organization.

"Can we all meet and make plans to [protest Coulter's appearance]?" writes one member, attaching a link to the USA Revolutionary Communist Party's website.

"Contact the ACLU," another writes.

Another internal group e-mail is signed by an unlikely source - Teresa Cheng, a junior majoring in political science who also serves president of the purportedly non-partisan Political Student Assembly.
"I know a lot of professors are mobilizing around this," she wrote to other group members, naming an English professor to contact.
It is "pretty crazy" that the College Republicans are sponsoring the event, she writes.

Asked to explain the disparity between her views in that group message and the non-partisan stance she took two days earlier in a Daily Trojan e-mail interview, Cheng said she has "many different capabilities" as a student at this university.

It would seem obvious that few capabilities conflict with each other so sharply. Exhibition of a personal bias against an event sponsored by organizations that Cheng's group funds calls into question the integrity of the process.

For his part, the brain behind National Islamo-Fascism Week said he welcomes opposing points of view.

"This is about making people aware of the issues, not ramming down their throats politically correct conclusions … Let's have a discussion," Horowitz said.

Still, Vincent Vigil, director of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Resource Center, predicts that many gay students would unite in rallying against Coulter...

From www.terrorismawareness.org:

During the week of October 22-26, 2007, the nation will be rocked by the biggest conservative campus protest ever – Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, a wake-up call for Americans on 200 university and college campuses.
The purpose of this protest is as simple as it is crucial: to confront the two Big Lies of the political left: that George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat.
Nothing could be more politically incorrect than to point this out. But nothing could be more important for American students to hear. In the face of the greatest danger Americans have ever confronted, the academic left has mobilized to create sympathy for the enemy and to fight anyone who rallies Americans to defend themselves. According to the academic left, anyone who links Islamic radicalism to the war on terror is an "Islamophobe." According to the academic left, the Islamo-fascists hate us not because we are tolerant and free, but because we are "oppressors."
Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is a national effort to oppose these lies and to rally American students to defend their country.
