Open letter or no, I probably shouldn’t publish the whole thing, but I’d like to highlight the following:

There is, of course, a clear difference between ordinary Muslims who positively contribute to society and radical Jihadists who boast about murdering people indiscriminately. Its a typical left-wing tactic, however, to just call names, such as “racist,” rather than engage in a serious debate, in this case, over radical Islam. Only the intellectually deficient revert to such slanderous attacks.

The seven who put up the phony fliers are frauds.

You should issue an apology to the conservatives unfairly targeted. It was obvious that the fliers were spreading lies, but your administration, led by Bridgette Behlingthe assistant director of the Student Activities Centersent emails to the young conservatives pressuring them to sign statements disavowing any hate speech that may originate at any future Young Americas Foundation event.

[Bolding mine]

…and that last bit is why all of this is a problem worthy of the front page, and why I personally expect that GWU will stonewall this issue for as long as it personally can. Let me be blunt. There are two possible ways that someone could look at this flier and believe that it originated from a conservative group. One, you could be abjectly stupid. Two, you could be so wrapped up in your particular worldview that anything that validated it would be accepted without critical analysis - which is sort of the same thing as One, only with bigger words. Either way, falling for this is precisely the sort of thing that should make you reconsider your assumptions about your opponents. Should, but probably won’t.

You’ll notice that I’m not really targeting the students who did this, per se. They’re antiwar activists. Their leader is Adam Kokesh of Iraq Veterans Against the War (the group that tried to push the Jesse MacBeth nonsense). Lying about their opponents is what they do, particularly if it can somehow involve infantilizing the people they pretend to be defending. But college administrations are supposedly made up of people who are able to put their underwear on inside their pants, remember which car is theirs nine times out of ten, and order off of the adult menu.

Should we be revising that supposition?
