The provocative reverend, three years ago (at IVC and SC) |
Listen to the 4 minute segment (here)
The reporter starts by referring to the recent Nazi salute episode at Newport Harbor High School (see). Experts, she says, explain that some of these activities are part of a “wave of white supremacist propaganda.”
Saddleback College, today |
You'll recall that much the same occurred three years ago at Irvine Valley College (see links below), when extremist Christians spoke (with amplification) on campus, making highly provocative statements, hoping to get a rise out of students and filming their reactions. The video was then used online to "illustrate" intolerance to their kind of speech on college campuses.
And then there was the terrible Margot Lovett episode, in which Lovett's appropriate removal of a YAF poster led to her demonization online and across the country. (See links below, at end.)

2016:At IVC |
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Was a couple of guys who'd been friends since grade school
One was named Cyrus, the other was Jeff
And they practiced twice a week in Jeff's bedroom
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Never settled on a name
But the top three contenders after weeks of debate
Were Satan's Fingers, and The Killers, and The Hospital Bombers
Jeff and Cyrus believed in their hearts
They were headed for stage lights and lear jets and fortune and fame
So in script that made prominent use of a pentagram
They stenciled their drum heads and guitars with their names
And this was how Cyrus got sent to the school
Where they told him he'd never be famous
And this was why Jeff, in the letters he'd write to his friend
Helped develop a plan to get even
When you punish a person for dreaming his dream
Don't expect him to thank or forgive you
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Will in time both outpace and outlive you
Hail Satan
Hail Satan tonight
Hail Satan
Hail, hail

They haven't just been posting their fliers at Saddleback. They have been disturbing information to students there, actively recruiting. Some students have complained to little avail.
Yeah, these little radio and TV bits tend to be a day late and a dollar short. Still, I'm glad they're making an effort.
