University student jailed for supporting Obama

Nazism has been on the march in one university town.

In October, Elon University - a private institution in North Carolina - hosted a rally featuring Sarah Palin. The event was held at the school's ballfield.

A sophomore student bipped over to the event carrying Obama flyers - and he was assaulted by Republican cultists who tried grabbing the flyers from him. Then the head of the College Republicans called the police on him - even though he was doing nothing wrong.

Only a thin-skinned crybaby would call the cops on someone over a difference of opinion - but the College Republicans head did precisely that.

The student with the Obama flyers was then arrested on a bogus charge of disturbing the peace and taken to the Alamance County Jail. He was released on $500 bail.

But the university wasn't done with its campaign to suppress dissent. The school lodged its own charges against the student, and university officials notified his parents. Because the student is a college sophomore, I'm assuming he's at least 18, and is therefore an adult. So it's illegal under federal privacy laws for the school to notify his parents.

(And I don't give a shit what the Contract With America said. I go by real laws - not what remained of the laws after a spleezixgums pretend government like the 104th Reich got through gutting them.)

Because the student was assaulted by GOP Movementarians, he should file charges against the assailants. He should also sue Elon University for violating his privacy rights by notifying his parents. And he should sue the College Republicans and the police for false arrest.

This story proves again what a bunch of thin-skinned brownshirts the conservative intelligentsia have become.
