Tancredo protesters turn violent

Violence erupted at a Michigan law school Thursday when protestors tried to block a speech by Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo.

Police were called after protestors pulled a fire alarm prior to the speech on immigration policies. There were at least three violent incidents with protestors targeting student backers of the event, Tancredo, R-Littleton, said today.

"One was spit on, one was kicked, and one was punched," Tancredo said in an e-mail. "Tires were also slashed."

Michigan State University College Republicans and Young Americans for Freedom sponsored the event.

Tancredo went to Michigan State University College of Law as part of a visit to the state to talk about immigration. He leads the group that opposes legal status for illegal immigrants.

Protestors interrupted the speech with loud shouting.

College newspaper The State News reported that protesters carried signs reading "Ignorant Racist" outside the room where the speech was held. They were not allowed in with the signs, the paper said. It also reported that about 40 people attended the speech.

Tancredo said in the email that protestors organized on the Internet social networking site Facebook.

"They declared ahead of time on facebook that they would not allow me to speak," Tancredo said in the e-mail.

Tancredo also is meeting with the Republican state party chair, members of the state legislature, and is speaking at a fundraiser for a Republican women's group, Tancredo spokesman Carlos Espinosa said.


Mmmmm, don't you just love tolerance, diversity and multiculturalism! It's just *so* abundant on our nation's college campusues!

I just have one thing to say to the protestors. It looks like y'all need a better PR agent. Your little group never seemed to get recognized, and you're apparently not photogenic enough to get your picture in the paper. It seems to me that maybe y'all need to shed the black bandannas and scruffy jeans and hoodies.

Here's a start on an outfit that really matches your goals and tactics! Remember, manipulating the media means looking GOOD!




Oh, you'll need a recognizable logo, too. This one hasn't been used for a few decades. It oughta be free of copyright by now!



Now you're all set to spread peace, tolerance and love to all mankind!
