Yeah... maybe just a 'little' over the top on this one.

But I still like the Affirmative Action Bake Sale.

The Dartmouth Review came under fire two weeks ago for publishing a front-page picture of an American Indian brandishing a scalp with the headline, "The Natives are Getting Restless."

At least that one had some relevance. (Dartmouth's mascot used to be the indian until the PC folk quashed it.)

The carol was intended as a satirical criticism of affirmative action and was, in fact, intended as an anti-racist statement,"

PC Rule: Criticizing a protected class is racist, so you better vote for Obama to make up for it.

That's the AP headline? They state as fact that it was 'racist'? Geez.

Definitely in bad taste.
The sad thing if something similar was directed at whites; the outcry would be small.

Serious Question: Why is the parody out of line? Is affirmative action not a topic allowed to be debated?

The Dartmouth Review came under fire two weeks ago for publishing a front-page picture of an American Indian brandishing a scalp with the headline, "The Natives are Getting Restless." The publication prompted students on the New Hampshire Ivy League campus to protest hate speech.

Oh brother.

I think both conservatives at Tufts should apologize!
