Courting Controversy at NYU
It's not hard to be controversial on a college campus. All you have to do is stray a few millimeters to the right of all the way left.
New York University's College Republicans are planning a "Find the Illegal Immigrant" contest for tomorrow. To win you have to be the first to point out a club member wearing a nametag that reads "Illegal Immigrant." The point is to draw attention to the fact that our border has been overrun by invaders who continue to pour into the country.
At NYU, this harmless game is so controversial that up to 300 students are expected to show up to protest it. According to protest organizers:
We need to show that this type of racist action is completely unacceptable.
The university actually felt compelled to explain why it would permit the game to take place:
At universities, providing a forum for the exchange of ideas — even difficult and unpopular ideas — is a key mission. […] Illegal immigration is a totally appropriate topic for debate, though this event seems principally calculated to produce outraged reaction rather than dialogue.
In other words, "These people are icky for thinking the USA is a sovereign country with a right to defend its borders, but we'll let it go this time."
On a tip from Wiggins.

And once again the racial socialists show up to denounce those who want the U.S. to remain a cohesive society with a majority culture as "racists." The word racist has now become the Left's newest buzzwords to attack European civilization. This isn't about "racism," it's about nothing more than the organized attempt by those who despise Western European Civilization to destroy it. There is a very real movement to try to destroy it or change it into thier own liberal utopia. They can never answer WHY European based societies cannot remain as such, since that is the root of them, and if you continue asking them WHY, they will soon resort to calling you a "racist."

If drawing attention to something occurring that happens to be illegal is considered racist...then what is the purpose of our Judicial branch and the justice department?

And for bringing the illegal alien (not "immigrants") situation to light in this imaginative manner, Krazy Keith (tm) Olbermann made NYU College Republicans "World's Worst Of The Day." Way to go NYU College Republicans! If Krazy Keith (tm) names you as "World's Worst" then you've done something right and join illustrious company.
