So Do We!&#8221; according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/article\/20071012\/METRO\/110120069\/1004\" target=\"_blank\">David C. Lipscomb<\/a> of the Washington Times;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>George Washington University President Steven Knapp has no plans to take disciplinary action against a group of students involved in an anti-Muslim flier hoax, a university spokeswoman said yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have established judicial policies and procedures,&#8221; university spokeswoman Tracy Schario said. &#8220;I am confident that President Knapp will let them take their course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Mr. Knapp &#8220;reserves the right to intervene&#8221; in the university&#8217;s student-judicial process, she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Intervene in what? You mean just in case the student body decides to hang them from a crane above a flatbed truck? This is just a prelude to nothing happening.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Jason Mattera, spokesman for the national conservative group Young America&#8217;s Foundation said Mr. Knapp&#8217;s inaction shows political bias and is unfair to the campus chapter of the group, whose name was inserted the fliers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s going to expose himself as a liar,&#8221; Mr. Mattera said. &#8220;When it first emerged, he said we&#8217;re not going to tolerate it. Now that it turns out it&#8217;s liberals he&#8217;s going to show where his political views lie.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, this is a typical Leftist trick &#8211; they&#8217;ll just keep making promises until everyone forgets about it &#8211; then when finally questioned they smuggly quip that it&#8217;s &#8220;old news&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mr. Mattera thinks a hearing would not be necessary because the students have admitted to posting the fliers and said they should be suspended immediately.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Times reported Wednesday that the university&#8217;s Student Association Executive Vice President Brand Kroeger wrote a letter saying he would &#8220;support expulsion.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Got news for ya, guys, nothing will happen to spoiled little brat Adam Kokesh\u00c2 &#8211; like John Murtha, he is under protection of the worn out hags of Code Pink and the ANSWER sheep. Anything he does will have those barren, childless pimps&#8217; approval &#8211; and the permission of gutless sissies like Steven Knapp. But you can bet cash money that if YAP ever steps out of line, they&#8217;ll be off campus so fast, the Blue Line train couldn&#8217;t catch up to them.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, if we look back to Tuesday, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.masnet.org\/news.asp?id=4438\" target=\"_blank\">Knapp said about the incident<\/a> (before Kokesh fessed up);<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We do not condone, and we will not tolerate, the dissemination of fliers or other documents that vilify any religious, ethnic, or racial group,&#8221; Knapp said in the release. &#8220;This flier does not represent, in any way, shape or form, the views of the administration of GW.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pakistanlink.com\/Headlines\/Oct07\/10\/10.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Knapp quote<\/a>\u00c2 before the Kokesh admission;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"span\">University President Steven Knapp said in a statement, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There is no place for expressions of hatred on our campus.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Looks like he changed his tune, huh? Cuz it sure sounds like he&#8217;s tolerating it now. When <a href=\"http:\/\/www.masnet.org\/news.asp?id=4438\" target=\"_blank\">students thought it was conservatives<\/a>, they sang a different ditty, too;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Kareem Shibib, a senior from Cornell University who came to gathering after hearing about the poster, said that the flyer is racist.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2 &#8220;I think this is a rather overt form of racism,&#8221; Shibib said. &#8220;What is important (is) to look further into this.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newkerala.com\/oct.php?action=fullnews&amp;id=10140\" target=\"_blank\">muslim student<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was really shocked that this sort of hatred exists on our campus.
