GWU prez; no expulsion for hateful seven

George Washington University President Steven Knapp has already decided that there will be no expulsion for the seven little wantwits who posted fliers around GWU that proclaimed “Hate Muslims? So Do We!” according to David C. Lipscomb of the Washington Times;

George Washington University President Steven Knapp has no plans to take disciplinary action against a group of students involved in an anti-Muslim flier hoax, a university spokeswoman said yesterday.

“We have established judicial policies and procedures,” university spokeswoman Tracy Schario said. “I am confident that President Knapp will let them take their course.”

However, Mr. Knapp “reserves the right to intervene” in the university’s student-judicial process, she said.

Intervene in what? You mean just in case the student body decides to hang them from a crane above a flatbed truck? This is just a prelude to nothing happening.

Jason Mattera, spokesman for the national conservative group Young America’s Foundation said Mr. Knapp’s inaction shows political bias and is unfair to the campus chapter of the group, whose name was inserted the fliers.

“He’s going to expose himself as a liar,” Mr. Mattera said. “When it first emerged, he said we’re not going to tolerate it. Now that it turns out it’s liberals he’s going to show where his political views lie.”

Yeah, this is a typical Leftist trick – they’ll just keep making promises until everyone forgets about it – then when finally questioned they smuggly quip that it’s “old news”.

Mr. Mattera thinks a hearing would not be necessary because the students have admitted to posting the fliers and said they should be suspended immediately.

The Washington Times reported Wednesday that the university’s Student Association Executive Vice President Brand Kroeger wrote a letter saying he would “support expulsion.”

Got news for ya, guys, nothing will happen to spoiled little brat Adam Kokesh – like John Murtha, he is under protection of the worn out hags of Code Pink and the ANSWER sheep. Anything he does will have those barren, childless pimps’ approval – and the permission of gutless sissies like Steven Knapp. But you can bet cash money that if YAP ever steps out of line, they’ll be off campus so fast, the Blue Line train couldn’t catch up to them.

In fact, if we look back to Tuesday, Knapp said about the incident (before Kokesh fessed up);

“We do not condone, and we will not tolerate, the dissemination of fliers or other documents that vilify any religious, ethnic, or racial group,” Knapp said in the release. “This flier does not represent, in any way, shape or form, the views of the administration of GW.”

Another Knapp quote before the Kokesh admission;

University President Steven Knapp said in a statement, “There is no place for expressions of hatred on our campus.”

Looks like he changed his tune, huh? Cuz it sure sounds like he’s tolerating it now. When students thought it was conservatives, they sang a different ditty, too;

Kareem Shibib, a senior from Cornell University who came to gathering after hearing about the poster, said that the flyer is racist.

 “I think this is a rather overt form of racism,” Shibib said. “What is important (is) to look further into this.”

Another muslim student;

“I was really shocked that this sort of hatred exists on our campus. You never think this would come so close to home, from people you’re in classes with. it’s scary,” a New York Muslim student, Najah El Bash, a leader of the conservative Muslim Student Association was quoted as saying

When everyone suspected YAF, it was hatred. But suddenly it’s Kokesh and everthing is just fine and dandy. Naked hypocrisy.
