COLLEGE COMMIES AT C.U.N.Y.!

Posted on | September 15, 2013 | 69 Comments

Where’s Joe McCarthy when we really need him?

Protests against General David Petraeus Monday by CUNY students were organized by an ad hoc committee that includes several Communist groups.
A leaflet for the protests, which refers to Petraeus as a “war criminal” and “mass murderer,” says that the events were organized by the Ad Hoc Committee Against the Militarization of CUNY and were endorsed by the Internationalist Group, Workers Power-US, and IGNITE.
These groups are explicitly Communist in nature. Workers Power states that it is a “revolutionary, communist organization . . . in the tradition of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Trotsky.” The Internationalist Group uses the hammer and sickle alongside its articles. IGNITE is a self-described “communist youth league.” . . .
Erick Moreno, a senior at Queens College and a member of Students Without Borders, a group that endorsed the protest, confirmed that the leaflet came from the committee, which he said serves as a “united front of student, faculty, and community organizations that are taking on the task of promoting this campaign to oust General Petraeus from CUNY as well as ROTC and military contractors from the CUNY system.” . . .

(Via College Insurrection.) A cruelly ironic question: How is it that the United States “won” the Cold War, yet anti-American Marxism is now the default doctrine of our nation’s colleges and universities?

    Typical non-answer by an assclown when one points out their poor behavior and attempts to hijack a comment thread through deception (attempting to impose parameters that do not match what was previously said) as well as ‘claiming’ to be an attorney (all the attorney’s I know would never admit that in a comment section to a perfect stranger).
    PPOR … how about attaching a copy of your bar card to prove your bona fides?

    Take it up with Stacy:

    Stacy McCain is prone to hyperbole. I doubt he really believes that.

    He’s not an attorney; he just plays one when he’s trolling conservative comment threads.

    You’re new here, eh, troll.

    Yeah, I looked at his DISCUS profile. Until a few days ago, nada since last year when he was posing as an attorney. The recent comments are all at TOM. A regular irregular troll, most likely one of many pseudonyms it uses.

    Heh. That could be taken either way! I’ll take it as that you are happy I didn’t get the ride on the black train …
