Violence Rattles Princeton [Hoax]

UPDATE: Princeton student Francisco Nava is said to have admitted to fabricating an attack against him. More to come.

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.

The incident is prompting an outcry from conservative students and faculty who say they feel singled out by the Princeton administration and the majority of the student body, who have remained silent in the face of what many say is a politically charged attack.

A politics major from Texas who is a junior, Francisco Nava, was assaulted about two miles from campus in Princeton Township by two black-clad men who pinned him against a wall and repeatedly bashed his head against the bricks, he told the student newspaper, the Daily Princetonian, in an interview.

Mr. Nava told the student paper that the two men told him to shut up. The assailants did not steal his wallet, credit cards, or cell phone, he said.

The attack came two days after Mr. Nava, a leader of the Anscombe Society, a morally conservative student group that speaks out against same-sex marriage and pre-marital sex, received death threats via e-mail. Three other Anscombe leaders and a conservative professor also received the threats.

That is they way the left-wing works. They try to say they are peaceful scum but they are really just like their ancestors Hitler and Stalin.

Hate Crime???

of wait I forgot. Hate crimes, like racism, only can be perpetrated from the right against left....there is a socialist rectifier that prevents the reverse.

Political correctness is Marxism with a nose job.

I bet the attitude of the "tolerant" campus leftists will be along the lines of; "It serves him right".

But wait a minute. Aren’t liberals peaceful and non-violent? Conservatives are the ones who advocate going to war for foreign oil. What’s going on here?

Peaceniks pretend to be "above the fray," but in reality they are partisans for the other side.

Libs/Marxists and Muzzies follow pretty much the same path: They sell themselves as peace lovers but the truth is their version of “peace” is them in in total control.

It’s true they want peace, but only at the cost of everyone else’s freedom to think and do as they wish.

As soon as their numbers in the population are great enough their true intentions are revealed. Both ideologies will have to be utterly destroyed in the long run if this world is to see any true peace.

Best quote in the article was, “Liberals are now the hate group.”

A search of google news shows The Daily Princetonian and the New York Sun are the only outlets covering this.
