Kate,

Thank you for those email addresses. I sent an email to several of them as well.

Something needs to be done about the Socialist organizations in our Universities. They are behind this, they always are.

The guy from MSU YAF that put on this event is a friend of mine. He's been trying to educate students on his campus about illegal immigration and taken a lot of flak for it.

Violent protesters disrupt Tancredo event
'Radical leftists' on campus assault organizer, pull fire alarm

Protesters at Michigan State University set off a fire alarm and assaulted a student organizer at an event last night on illegal immigration that featured Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., who began his speech amid a mixture of boos and applause.

Kyle Bristow, chairman of Young Americans for Freedom, which sponsored the event with the school's College Republicans, said he was kicked and spat upon by demonstrators outside the College of Law lecture hall where Tancredo spoke, reported the State News, an independent campus newspaper.

Bristow called the protesters "racist."

"It's sad we need police to come to control these radical leftists," he said.

Controversy over illegal immigration also turned violent at a College Republican event last month at Columbia University when protesters taunted a black speaker with the "n-word" and then shut down the meeting when they stormed the stage during a speech by Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist.

Tancredo this week has engaged in a war of words with Florida Gov. Jeb Bush that started with a WND interview with the Colorado congressman in which he called Miami a "Third World country."

Michigan State University police said last night the protesters, about 10 to 20, likely were responsible for pulling a fire alarm twice during the evening. A few hundred people evacuated the building after the first alarm, the campus newspaper reported.

Before Tancredo's arrival, the protesters gathered with signs bearing messages such as "Ignorant Racist" and "Where's the wall to keep you out?"

Graduate accounting student Matt Ledesma said he witnessed a protester being pulled out of the discussion area for spitting on someone, according to the State News.

"They were being disruptive," he said. "Someone pulled the fire alarm, which got us all out here."

After police allowed people back in the building, Tancredo addressed a crowd of more than 40, stressing the issue of illegal immigration must be approached with a clear head.

"Look, you can't get emotional," he said, according to the campus paper. "Let's just talk about the policy."

The congressman also emphasized the importance of a single national language, English.

"I think diversity is a great thing," he said. "But it becomes a negative thing when it's the only thing."

Violent protesting does nothing to help their cause. In fact, it does the opposite.
College students for years have been for the most part extremely liberal plus most professors are too. So this is expected. The baby boomer generation (which I'm a part of) was the same way but many of us changed our views after living in the real world.
Tom is indeed a very courageous man. Please take care, Tom, we need you.

Here's how the student newspaper spins it.

Protesters crash immigration event

A campus discussion about illegal immigration turned violent Thursday evening, when protesters clashed with the MSU College Republicans and Young Americans for Freedom, who sponsored the event.

Kyle Bristow, chairman of the Young Americans for Freedom, or YAF, said he was kicked and spat upon by some of the protesters when he was outside the MSU College of Law, where the discussion was being held.

"It saddens me that my fellow Spartans would display this type of behavior," he said. "They are racist. It's sad we need police to come to control these radical leftists."

Unable to identify the people who assaulted him, Bristow said he wasn't planning to file a police report.

MSU police were dispatched to the event after an employee of the law college called the department, MSU police Sgt. Brian McDaniel said.

"About 10 to 20 protesters disrupted the event," he said. "We believe they were responsible for pulling the fire alarm."

Protesters said they came to show their opposition to controversial Republican congressman Tom Tancredo, of Colorado, who spoke at the event. Before Tancredo arrived and while the event was being set up, protesters gathered on the fourth floor of the law college with signs that read "Ignorant Racist."

Someone in the building set off a fire alarm twice throughout the evening. After the first alarm was pulled, a few hundred people were evacuated from the building. The person or persons responsible for pulling the alarm could face a misdemeanor or felony charge if caught, McDaniel said.

Randy McPherson, whose sign read "Where's the wall to keep you out?" came to protest when he heard that the congressman would be speaking.

"God works in mysterious ways," said McPherson, a food science and premedical junior, after the second fire alarm was pulled. "(Tancredo) shouldn't be here."

Some protesters weren't allowed inside the discussion room because they had signs, which aren't allowed in the law college. The people who attended to oppose the event said they came to represent themselves — not the minority campus groups with which they are affiliated.

Another student who came to protest the event said she wanted to make sure it was known that Tancredo is racist.

"We were here to protest the whole event," said Claudia Gonzalez, an interdisciplinary studies in social science and community relations senior. "It got heated and there was a lot of disagreement and argument. This is a very big issue."

While waiting for the discussion to start, accounting graduate student Matt Ledesma said he witnessed someone being pulled out of the discussion area for spitting on someone.

"They were being disruptive," he said. "Someone pulled the fire alarm, which got us all out here."

After everyone was allowed back into the law college, Tancredo addressed a crowd of more than 40 people, who clapped and booed when he began speaking.

His speech focused on illegal immigration in the United States and emphasized looking at the issue with a clear head.

"Look, you can't get emotional," Tancredo said during his speech. "Let's just talk about the policy."

He also stressed the importance of a single national language, which he believes should be English, but added he supports people who are bilingual.

"I think diversity is a great thing," he said. "But it becomes a negative thing when it's the only thing."

A 10-minute question-and-answer session was held at the end of the event. Students wrote their questions on note cards, and MSU College Republicans chairman Jeff Wiggins asked a few of the questions. Tancredo left shortly after he spoke, ignoring many of the questions.

Wiggins, who helped arrange the event, said he was surprised at the protesters' reaction.

"(Tancredo) was not in the building when this went on," he said. "We were in here setting up. We tried to tell them signs are not allowed in the law college."

Jose Villagran, a interdisciplinary studies in social science senior, asked "Why have you been cited for hiring undocumented workers for personal construction?" His question was not asked by Wiggins, who did not pose controversial questions.

******************************************

Something's got to be done to put an end to these students' stupidity. How about a big, fat lawsuit against MSU?

I am an alumni of Michigan State University and I have received a request in the mail to renew my alumni association membership. I am going to contact the association at first by phone and email to see what positions they hold, not only on what just happened above, but as to what support they provide to anti-American professorships who teach La Raza principles to MSU students and to what their response to the recent passing of Proposition 209 is.

If anyone has any ideas for me to pass along, let me know.

I AM PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW!

Hmmm... What does this remind me of...? Let me think...











Ah yeah, that was it.

So who were these people? No one seems to know. Interesting!
