Another Campus Dealing With Alleged Hate Crime (Tufts University)
BOSTON -- Another local campus is dealing with an alleged hate crime. The day after allegations surfaced that a gay student was beaten near the Harvard University campus, an Arab student at Tufts University in Medford, Mass., made similar allegations.

Newscenter 5's Jorge Quiroga reported that no students at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house were willing to talk about the fight, which took place early Saturday morning, but a friend of the alleged victim said an argument between an Arab-American student and three fraternity members escalated into a beating.

"They said a racial slur to him, called him an Indian ... he immediately said, 'No, I'm Arab,' at which point the person said, 'That's even worse, you're a terrorist,'" according to Dan McDermott, a student of Irish-Lebanese descent who is friends with the alleged victim, Riyad Mohammed, president of the Arab Students Association.

According to Mohammed, after he walked his girlfriend home Saturday night, he passed the fraternity house, where the argument with three fraternity members allegedly escalated into a racial beating.

3. WHAT??? Why, to hear the Consoviets tell it...
It's only white, straight, Christian Republican males who are being attacked and beaten on college campuses by rabid feminists who get their briefings in their ovulars.

BTW, I do believe now's as good a time as any to offer a book recommendation:

John K. Wilson, The Myth of Political Correctness, Duke University Press

5. I guess these tough-guys had "other priorities"
when it comes to joining the official bullshit anti-Arab fight. Typical. These asswipes were probably too lazy to even register to vote for der Bushler, although they would have if they didn't have other priorities...Defenders of the Fatherland.

6. Must be the College Republicans
My daughter was censored on the campus radio station for making anti Bush statements. The College Republicans complained. School officials said "small, but very local minority complained".

They love Bush so much, go die for him.
