To the Editor:
I feel sorry for the CSU College Republicans. Tuesday, spying
everywhere the stain of yet more partisan graffiti – right wing,
this time – I felt immediately awful for the College Republicans,
because somebody is making them look like utter jerks. And it’s not
the first time.
That first time, I knew those complaints (“Campus Insanity”)
about all that “liberal graffiti” around campus were a con-job;
that it couldn’t have been the College Republicans complaining.
Why? Because they couldn’t be stupid enough to mount such a
bizarre, self-defeating campaign that ignored the fact of the
noxious presence of graffiti, period, in favor of wailing
hysterically that the graffiti was too LIBERAL! I cannot believe
that the College Republicans were upset that CSU’s resident
graffiti-artists don’t share their conservative politics. No, it
couldn’t have been the College Republicans orchestrating that
odiferous kerfuffle; nobody could be that blind to the idiocy that
would indicate.
Now, with that initial controversy dissipated and the school no
longer scoffing at the College Republicans, just when those poor
victims of the prank – the College Republicans themselves – could
hope that they’d left the whole inane episode behind, the dastardly
evildoers struck again, this time spray-painting asinine right-wing
graffiti, and this time with the audacity to sign their latest
defacements with the web-address of the CSU Republicans! Egads, the
gall!
I am confident that the College Republicans will take this
chance to unite, not divide, and will join me in renouncing this
latest partisan defacement, declaiming all wanton destruction of
property – public or private, and calling for the strictest
sanctions – the very strictest sanctions, I say – to be taken
against the perpetrators of this most vulgar deed. With their very
name attached to criminal acts committed all over campus, nothing
less than the august reputation of the College Republicans is at
stake.
