Hate has a Home in New Paltz

Driving through, you'd never expect this tiny upstate New York college town was all that different from dozens of other college towns across this country, but something about New Paltz attracts hate.

In June of 2001, it took place in the form of an hours-long shooting rampage by Jared Bozydaj in the name of Timothy McVeigh.

Last year in early April, vicious radicals from the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas met there to scream:

"God hates fags!"
"God hates America!"

Tomorrow, hate rears its head again.

International A.N.S.W.E.R., an anti-Semitic blanket organization including radical Marxists that support convicted terrorist supporter Lynne Stewart, and the national Muslim Student Association, a Saudi Wahhabi-funded, rabidly anti-Semitic group that has been identified as a pro-terror organization that has raised money for Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups, is conducting a so-called anti-war protest tomorrow, March 19 in New Paltz.

But what is it, really? It is a rally of hate against our involvement in toppling a bloodthirsty dictator. Another rally of hate against soldiers trying to bring peace to a war-torn land.

Even after successful Iraqi elections and the establishment of a fledgling democracy in the Middle East, they protest. Even though the Iraqi war is the catalyst for other democracy movements in the region which can free of tens of millions more people, they protest.

They do not protest for freedom. The do not protest for the millions oppressed under Middle Eastern tyrants. They protest against President Bush. They protest against emerging calls for freedom.

These people hate our president, one man, so much that they would sell tens of millions down the river hoping to cause him to fail.

That is a lot of hate contained in a town of barely six thousand.

What a terrible, terrible shame.

Note: Sadly, the New Paltz protest is just one of many against Arab democracy this weekend. Pathetically, my conspiracy theorist congressman, Maurice Hinchey, will be a featured speaker.

Note 2: The pictures above were taken at previous protests in different cities, and have appeared on so many web sites, I'm not sure who can claim credit for them.

Update: Welcome, Little Green Footballers!

I'm often there ( A daily read), but it's nice to have you guys over here to visit once in a while. As you well know, our good friend Congressman Hinchey will be the guest of dishonor at this event. I know if was an LGFer who taped his audio last time, so anyone can get a transcript of his comments, or an MP3, I'd appreciate a copy (confederateyankee-at-hotmail-dot-com) very much.

Update 2: Carpe Bonum has a nice angle covered from the college town where Hinchey will be speaking.
