“Republicans Still Under Siege at SFSU"
(San Francisco State University College)
by Derek Wray & Lee Kaplan, FrontPageMag, 1/17/05

......By November 4, flyers that adorned the campus accused the conservative students of being “racists” and “bigots.” Members of the International Socialist Organization -- a group that has advocated the violent overthrow of the US government -- and Students Against War began distributing flyers with the bold headline “Racists Off Our Campus” that accused the College Republicans of “racism and bigotry toward Arab women.” Throughout November, the ranks of the radical groups swelled as more flyers were printed and endorsed by Students Against War, La Raza, the International Socialist Organization, the Berkeley Stop the War Coalition and even The Campaign to End the Death Penalty -- all accusing the College Republicans, victims of a wholly unprovoked attack, of racism. .......

.... During one demonstration against the College Republicans, a demonstrator yelled, “All American soldiers are f*****s who only join the military so they can rape Arab men!” (It was an oddly anti-gay statement from an individual who declared himself a champion of tolerance and human rights).

The day after the presidential election, an Arab student declared during a demonstration, “You people always want to play the victims. You cry about what Hitler did to you, but what you do to the Palestinians is worse” (“You people” refers to the Jews, though not one of the SFSU College Republicans is Jewish).

A pacifist shouted, “One day, the Arabs of the world will unite, and this (Palestinian) flag will fly high, and you’ll be dead!” .......

The College Republicans are committed to creating a safe environment for healthy political discourse. The question is whether President Corrigan’s administration is committed to doing the same. California taxpayers deserve public universities free of violence and intolerance. If they need to be brought into the fray, then so be it. ...... con’t.

There were similiar incidents reported locally targeting Jewish groups on this campusin the months following 9/11. It is not surprising, given the apparent attitude of the university administration, that these kinds of attacks have now spread to attacks on the college affiliate of a main line political party. It is only a matter of time before someone ends up in the hospital or the morgue. One hopes the true targets of these attacks have their own video cameras discreetly recording these events. This really is reminiscent of the turmoil on German university campuses in the period prior to Hitler's rise to power.
