Joe Lieberman had to go to him and lick his boots as VP nominee in 2000. His equivalent in the Republican Party, David Duke, was repudiated by both the state party in Louisiana and the National Party when he ran for governor there. "Vote for the crook, not the fascist" was the advice they gave Republican voters, and they helped elect Duke's Democratic opponent. He's now in prison, by the way, for typical Louisiana Dem corruption. Ahuva, a Pack threatened to kill you for being a Jew? Where and when was that, when the "Solid South" was solidly white-racist Democrats? There were not many Packs in the South before the 1970s. That's why the Solid South was solidly Democrat for so many decades. No doubt there are antisemitic Republicans. Pat Buchanan was one before going off to the Reform Party to run for Prez with a Marxist running mate. Antisemites are a lot more open, and seem much more numerous, on the left than on the right in America. Al Sharpton, antisemitic race hustler, is a kingmaker in the New York Democratic Party.

There will definitely be some form of counter-protest and we are going to try and get as much attention as possible. I have been getting frustrated in seeing this happen year after year because our protests never seem effective enough. Last year we lucked out and FDD brought Walid Shoebat to campus. That was definitely a big move forward in getting attention for us but I want to keep the ball rolling. I really appreciate your posting my response, the most important thing right now is alerting people to the problem. Right now I'm waiting to find out if this is going to be student funded. Last year the Norman Finkelstein event put on by Students for Justice in Palestine was paid for through Student Fees collected with tuition. When Walid Shoebat came through FDD it was all paid for in ticket sales and FDD/Shoebat's foundation. If FDD/Davis College Republicans/Aggies for Israel were not allowed to use student funds.

I spent my childhood in the rural south. "Good Christian Republicans" also deface synagogues, terrorize Jews, etc. I haven't had a Democrat threaten to kill me for being Jewish, so I go democratic. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the Republicans. Robert,

Anti-semetism on the left leaning, liberally tolerant, politically correct campuses of America? Tell me again why so many people of Jewish descent vote for Democrats again? You don't seriously think Jimmy Carter is an anamoly, do you? He's just the only one who knows he doesn't need the Jewish vote to get elected... Wow.

There's another approach and I don't know why it isn't employed more often--turning the pc regulations on themselves. I'm sure UC Irvine has the usual stuff about respect, anti-hate speech, etc. It shouldn't be too hard to find examples of vicious, bigoted, hateful speech from the Muslim students and other anti-Israel sources. Complaints about that should be made to the school administration, accompanied bys ufficient publicity to make sure they can't simply sweep it under the rug. If nothing else, watching the administration squirm and try to differentiate anti-Israel hate from the speech the school likes to suppress should offer entertainment value. Taking the schools at their word would be interesting. Meryl has good advice. There’s another approach and I don’t know why it isn’t employed more often–turning the pc regulations on themselves.
