PRINCETON, N.J. — An outcry from students and faculty at Princeton University is rattling the campus here after a student who is leading a movement to instill conservative moral values among undergraduates was physically attacked Friday, beaten, and rendered unconscious in a rare incidence of violence within the Ivy League . . .

How is it known why he got attacked? So far speculation is the only clue. Glad he is okay but it's pretty irresponsible to claim he got attacked for his views without evidence.

Nice, the left wing is now a hate group and the right is crying "hate crime"

Apparently the conservatives stole the liberals play book

No. There is not moral equivalency.

For one thing conservatives are not buying the story. Not yet.

First Things reports:

" . . .there is a chance—only a chance, and not by any means a certainty—that the emails were generated by one of the recipients and the assault was self-inflicted . . ."

How often do you see that on the left? Never that I can recall. Instead we have seen, for instance, 88 professors at Duke thank protesters for not waiting until a trial to pass judgement. Every time I've mentioned that a "hate crime" the left has jumped on may be a hoax, the reaction was intense...no...no...that can't be.....

Ummm-i did a google search and many fellow cons are buying the story. In fact, the only links i got were to far right sites.

I see. This is really a thread designed to push a dagger deeper into the heart of those who cried out in the Duke case by showcasing how a conservative attack does not warrant the same outcry. So? Those people at Duke were wrong, and perhaps the lessens from the Duke incident is still fresh enough that people are not rushing to judgment.

Nava already has a strike against him for admitting to fabricating a hate crime against an old roommate.

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - A Princeton University student who argued that his conservative views were not accepted on the campus confessed to fabricating an assault and sending threatening e-mail messages to himself and some friends who shared his views, authorities said Monday.

Princeton Township police said that Francisco Nava was not immediately charged with any crime, but that the investigation was continuing.
Nava claimed to have been assaulted Friday by two men off campus, police said. But he later confessed that scrapes and scratches on his face were self-inflicted, and that the threats were his work, too, said Detective Sgt. Ernie Silagyi.

ROTFL!!! This is what happens when the persecution complex meets hubris

We have a new catch phrase response to the Mythical WOC: Feliz Navaduh!

Slimy.

Slimy.

Definitely.

At least, as Voegelin pointed out, there was no rush to judgment like the disgraceful Duke case.

It is sad that some find it necessary to go to extremes for their cause....it will probably backfire in Nava's case.
