In response to ken:

"This story is entirely bogus. Another example of conservatives making something up about their âvictimhoodâ."

Unfortuantely this story is not bogus in anyway, I wish it were.

As a member of the group lectured by the administrator in question, the Conservatives Club did nothing more than write a breif summary of the meeting in the form of a newsbrief in our publication, The Counterweight.

The exact article can be see at http://www.thecounterweight.org, in the most recent issue.

Please scroll to page 6 and read the newbrief titled "President's Office Doesn't Like 'Hunting Terrorists'"

This is the only public thing the Club has done since the meeting took place, if it can even be considered "public". Many subscribe to our publication and one in particular wrote a web log on his site, which apparently recieves a lot of traffic, seeing the results of his post.

His website is
http://www.brain-terminal.com.

He has since added another post regarding this event

I'd comment on this, but I'm afraid my language would make Ms. Owens' head explode.

I find "hunting terrorist" offensive also. I prefer pursuing, with the intention of killing Islamic radicals bent on terror. My question is who was the irresponsible bunch of human like creatures that allowed an idiot to become president of that university. Information about who administers these schools should be outlined in school catalogs so that parents could see where there kids are going to school. A drop in applications would bring about abrupt changes in politics.

So, anjin-san, when the ACLU actually does defend the right of students to use the phrase "hunting terrorists," you can crow all you like about how the Dubya Administration views them.

Until then, however, it would appear that the ACLU is more interested in defending the rights of terrorists to speak out than of students to invite American soldiers and Marines to speak out.

It's amazing, The lefty loneys,and the EV wackos will jump on anything to bash Bush.

I don't know why they just don't get into their iddybiddy cars, go out and hug the burning trees, and go cash their welfare checks, buy a beer and chill out a little.

I am sure the ACLU would be glad to go to bat to protect the free speech rights of the students. Oh wait, the Bushites think the ACLU are commies...

This dread phrase "hunting terrorists" would be offensive to... terrorists?

Ohyea, my girls are gonna fit in at Bucknell real well some day. My oldest is 6 and she already knows that the master terrorist bin Laden deserves to be hunted.
