Your Help Needed – GW College Repulicans Issue Press Release On Anti-Christian Hate Crime - College Dems Choose Junior Member As Scapegoat

January 30th, 2009 (18) Posted By .

The campus police have begun an invsetigation, and the relevant members of the College Republicans have all filed Campus Police reports, and given sworn statements. Thanks to all the heat provided by you, PatDollard.com readers, the University has at least taken the initial first steps. Let’s see if they actually do something, or are just acting pro-forma for a bit of the old CYA.

I encourage everyone to swarm Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Fox News’ Religion Editor Lauren Green, Washington DC correspondent Griff Jenkins at Griff.Jenkins@foxnews.com, and Washington Times reporter Michael Drost, here, who wrote the story in October that the College Dems intended to launch a harrassment campaign against the Colleg Repulicans, just like the heinous one at hand.

The problem with the College Dems’ claim that a lone junior member desecrated and then displayed the crucicifixes is that it goes nowhere towards explaining why Executive Board Members who were in the office space and saw them displayed, did nothing to remove them. It would appear that a junior member of the organization was persuaded that he had to take a bullet for the greater good of the organization and their Leftist cause.

My suggestion is that you contact the College Democrats directly here: comm@gwcollegedemocrats.com

Their statement follows the CR press release.

First, the GW College Republicans Release:

GWCR’s Denounce Cross Desecration in Their Office

George Washington University, Washington, DC- The GW College
Republicans released the following statement:

The College Republicans are outraged by the desecration of Christian symbols
that occurred in our shared office with the College Democrats. These
sacrilegious acts are offensive to people of all faiths and all political persuasions.

The College Republicans and the College Democrats have always shared and
amicable working relationship. Regardless, the fact that this was allowed to
happen on their watch, though unsanctioned, is a complete affront to the values
the College Republicans represent and promote on campuses all across our
nation.

We have been working with university officials every step of the way to resolve
this issue to ensure that those responsible are brought forward.

Brief Synopsis: Early this week crosses used in a pro-Life display on campus and
stored in the College Republicans office, were taken by a member of the College
Democrats and desecrated in a highly disrespectful manner and left in our office.

And now, the College Dems statement on their website:

Vandalism in the CD-CR office was first brought to the attention of leaders of the executive board by leaders of the College Republicans. CD leaders immediately began an investigation and found that no members had visited the office we share with the CRs in the two days since the purported day of the incident. Additionally, one member stepped forward and claimed responsibility for the situation and issued an apology to the CD board for their thoughtless actions.

Leaders of the College Democrats do not condone the disrespectful vandalism of religious figures. We would never as an organization sanction such reprehensible conduct and we are tremendously upset that the organization’s trust was violated by a member who chose to act otherwise. We respect and welcome individuals from all religious backgrounds, and we extend our sincerest apology to those who were offended by the actions of one of our members.

CD leaders have been in constant communication with the CR executive board since they brought the issue to our attention and plan to make a public apology to their board on behalf of the organization.

The CDs and the CRs are resolving the situation between the two groups in an amicable way and hope to continue our working relationship in our shared office space and further interactions between the two organizations. We are also supportive and forthcoming with efforts by university officials to act as mediators in a sensitive matter and we appreciate their continued involvement.

    Not fucking good enough.

    I want those who saw it and did nothing expelled, I want the perpetrator expelled, and I want the officers of the CD to be removed, if they are not part of the expulsion.

    Consequences for one’s actions must be severe enough to realize that one can not trample on others’ property, beliefs, and rights. In no way, shape, or form was this ENTIRE action and complicity acceptable.

    I want them all punished. Everyone who was in that office, saw it, and did nothing. A true leader, regardless of political orientation, would have stepped up and said, “Guys, this is wrong.” And then notified the College Republicans and campus administration. Instead, they laughed about it, carried on like nothing happened, and then allowed those who would be most offended and hurt by it to discover it. It was planned and it was conspiratorial. Whether it was done so at the outset is irrelevant, it’s outcome was the same.

    The latest email I sent:

    Dear Sir,

    It is with great sorrow that in today’s society the relationships between two different thinking peoples can no longer be comprised of understanding and tolerance. The recent actions that were taken by the College Democrats at your institution in desecrating objects held dear by their counterparts in the College Republicans is amazingly becoming a commonplace occurrence throughout the Democratic political party.

    The upbringing of youth in this nation has always been a tough aspect and in recent times has become even more challenging. For parents like myself, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America from all enemies, foreign and domestic, the role of parenthood is especially challenging. The reason it is especially challenging is because there are parents who have never taught their children that it is perfectly acceptable for others to believe differently than one’s self. This lack of basic upbringing has developed into a brand of intolerance specifically associated with the one political party in this country that claims to be the most tolerant. These very same parents have raised their children with the consequences of one’s actions separated from reality. I have always taught my children that they must stand up for what they believe in, while bearing in mind that there are those who will disagree with them. I have taught them that those who disagree must be shown the same respect that one expects in return. This is obviously a thought process that has been shown to be in the minority amongst parents in this day and age.

    It is my opinion, that all officers of the College Democrats who witnessed these egregious acts either before hand, during, or after the fact should be expelled from your institution. If they witnessed these acts and did nothing to correct them, then they are equally guilty of the actual offender. It is your role to teach leadership as well as curriculum. A true leader would stand up, regardless of circumstances, when a wrong is being committed and either correct it, or call attention to it in order for it to be corrected. This did not happen. The College Democrats were aware of the egregious acts and did nothing until it was called to their attention by the College Republicans indicating complicit disregard for proper activity.

    It is my understanding that a single student at your institution has stepped forward to “fall on the sword” so to speak. While this is a start, it is your responsibility to end the mindset that complicity of this nature is acceptable by punishment of all parties involved in the action, whether they were party to it or simply refused to step up and correct it. It is my opinion that all parties who witnessed, yet did nothing, should share in the consequences of this criminal act. It is time that we, as rational adults and human beings, step up and begin the education process of our youth by demonstrating that no matter what one’s politics are, there are consequences for denying basic rights to another individual or group of individuals. The desecration of religious artifacts, regardless of religion represented, is a crime so egregious that it strikes at the very core of our struggle to be a civilized nation full of citizens capable of accepting other citizens regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender.

    It is my duty as a parent to inform you that if proper and acceptable action is not taken against all individuals involved that I will consider your school to be intolerant according the Equal Opportunity Commission and I will take action to further press this issue. A public reporting of the actions taken and the crimes committed on your campus, excluding the names of individuals, is the only acceptable action you can take in my opinion. This matter has been forwarded to news outlets by others, as well as by myself and should be gaining traction at any time. It is time for your institution to step up and be a leader in the eyes of academia everywhere.

    Sincerely,

    This is the “Official Statement” from the Dean of Students office and the Office of the President of GWU.
    It may say the same as the above statements from the organizations involved but after speaking to Tracy Schario, the Public Relations person from GWU I fear that this is going to be swept under the rug.
    When I asked Tracy if a group had desacrated korans would the University pursue hate crimes charges, Tracy went silent and finally responded that she could not comment any further on an on going investigation. When I told her that I was asking a hypothetical question that had nothing to do with the ongoing investigation Tracy still went with the company line of “I cannot comment any further on an ongoing investigation”
    Chandler’s Watch is on this and will not let this go unpunished on our watch!!

    Semper Fi!!!

    Statement from The George Washington University Regarding the Defacing of Several Small
    Crosses
    Jan. 29, 2009

    Please attribute to Tracy Schario, university spokesperson

    The University learned this morning of an incident wherein several small crosses were
    defaced and posted to a bulletin board in the office shared by the GW College Democrats
    and the College Republicans. Upon learning of the incident, University Police
    immediately initiated an investigation.

    So far, one student, who is a member of the GW College Democrats, has admitted
    responsibility and will face disciplinary action under the Code of Student Conduct. Any
    violations of University policies that occurred in connection with the incident will be
    handled through the Student Judicial Services process. The investigation continues.

    President Steven Knapp said, “Such acts are unacceptable and are utterly incompatible
    with the spirit of mutual respect that is essential to the life of an academic community.
    I continue to hope and expect that all our students, no matter what opinions they hold,
    will conduct themselves in the spirit of mutual respect that has long been a hallmark of
    this University.”

    :mrgreen: It would be nice if someone published the names of these democrat pussies…and, you know, maybe their photos, and maybe like where they live… what they drive, maybe some plate numbers… for their safety, of course…

  • German Dragon

    :arrow: XD-40

    THAT is excellent advice. Publish the names and photos of the Dems who did this. Force them into the light for scrutiny. Expect them to shriek like stuck pigs.

    Info on the GW College Dems can be found here on their website.

    They are also involved in a cover-up, and more than one has given false sworn statements to the police.

    The executive board is as guilty as the little scapegoat who’s being forced to walk the plank. They are facing prosecution and jail time, and are only making it worse by committing the crime of making false statements to the police.

    A couple College Dems with a conscience have turned on their own membership and are talking to me as well.

    AWESOME PAT!!
    this is how we can make a differance when contact info is layed out in front of us. Made my comment we will see if I get a response, should I hold my breath?……NA I value my life too much!!

    What a bunch of crap the Exuctive Board Members have to be held accountable as they are the ones who fuel the flames of hatred and intolerance on the right.

    I got through to Beck yesterday and was put on hold but he did not get to my call before the show was over. I know Beck as a man of faith would look into this and Hannity has gotten involved before in these type of cases.

  • Ivan the Kafir

    “We would never as an organization sanction such reprehensible conduct…” This would seem to contrast very strikingly with Mr. Struble’s statement posted on yesterday’s story about trying to create an uncomfortable environment for conservatives. As I said yesterday, we would see all the usual pious platitudes from the CDs when the media spotlight was shone on them. Was I ever right. We need to shove Struble’s comments in their faces and ask them to explain that. It’s not the isolated incident which bothers us most but the culture of hate at GWU which made that incident possible.

    HARDBALL – Excellent letter!

    None of my emails or phone calls have been responded to . . . but I will not give up. :wink:

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

    AS GWDC PRESS RELEASE WAS RIDICULOUS WITH MULTIPLE HOLES, THESE ARE SOME QUESTIONS I JUST SENT TO THE GWCD EMAIL:

    “CD leaders immediately began an investigation and found that no members had visited the office we share with the CRs in the two days since the purported day of the incident.”

    So if no members visited the office . . . then was the person who took responsbility a board member as it has been reported the CD board was there meeting prior to the discovery by the College Republicans?

    Was the act done during the board meeting? Did other board members view the activity without action?

    Has the board member or the CD member been expelled from the group?

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

    “Additionally, one member stepped forward and claimed responsibility for the situation and issued an apology to the CD board for their thoughtless actions.”

    Why would the one who claimed responsibility apologize to the CD board?

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

    Anyone get any answers to these questions – maybe I am missing something . . . I have been really busy today.

    they should be prosecuted for hate crimes. but you know that nothing is going to happen to any of them. they are dems for crying out loud. they have no morals or ethics and are therefor not subject to the law.

    Today it’s little wooden crosses, tomorrow it escalates if not stopped. Eventually it has the potential to be fanned into a larger blaze that cannot be controlled without heavy handed power. Power used to control any situation results in colateral damage. Far better for ‘all’ involved to squelch this small spark in this kindling stage. DaFlikkers

  • David

    Why are you surprised? What do you expect from a liberal arts university?

  • uffy

    Liberal arts isn’t the problem. It is the University that is the problem. They foster hate and intolerance against Christians. What happened on campus is a HATE CRIME and should be treated as such. But you won’t hear any University allowing a full investigation of any crime unless it is serial murder of 3 or more. Universities have covered up rapes, murders, and assaults for decades. Unless parents, students, and active outsiders push for the U to investigate, nothing will be done. The U will just wait until attention dies down. They will never take responsibility.
