10/24/07 - Armed with incoherent logic, appeals to emotion and outdated ideas, the political left on campus showed this week that it continues to value winning the offensive political war it has waged on President George W. Bush more than winning the defensive war Islamo-Fascists have waged on them.
Striking first, the Multicultural Center's Melvin Wade argued in the Cigar Friday that the assignment of the title "Islamo-Fascists" to those who have declared Jihad on America is "needlessly incendiary," and "make[s] dialogue impossible."
In reality, the only labels that are "needlessly incendiary" are the ones that the Multicultural Center assigns to groups like the Asian Student Association, the Black American Society and the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Association. The differences these groups have with Indians, whites and heterosexuals, for example, are not ones that result in one group declaring jihad on the other like the differences Islamo-Fascists have with non-Muslims. Melvin Wade and the left are still sold on the pre-9/11 unrealistic notion that dialogue with Islamo-Fascists is possible.
Reasonable people not bound to a 1960s leftist ideology understand that when someone declares to the world that, "We will either achieve victory over the human race or we will pass to the eternal life," like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi did on behalf of Islamo-Fascists everywhere, reasonable dialogue is not possible.
Coming in for backup of the army of the left, members of the women's studies department approached our petition drive booth on Monday with a document entitled and filled with anything but a "Response to Islamo-Fascism Week."
Filled with contradictory statements and logic that questions the very foundation of their "department," Karen Stein and Gail Faris exemplified what have become the tactics behind the offensive political war on George W. Bush: attack early, often and often incoherently.
As the elite academics often do, leftists Stein and Faris labored through five paragraphs in an effort to lecture the College Republicans on why we are wrong, only to grasp straws all along.
