Young Republican's claims of Liberal violence a hoax.

With President George W. Bush only a year away from departing the White House and the Republican succession in turmoil, some of the most prominent conservative intellectuals and activists have gathered together for one last great crusade. Movement icons from Robby George of Princeton to Harvey Mansfield of Harvard, from David Horowitz to Brit Hume, raised howls of persecution when they heard reports that two masked men allegedly attacked a conservative Princeton University student. They insisted that the right-wing acolyte was beaten up "for his conservative views," as Horowitz put it. And they accused Princeton of failing to protect conservatives and upholding a hypocritical liberal double standard. Unfortunately, the trumpeted cause collapsed when the victim turned out to be a hoaxer.

Liberals don't usually resort to violence to make our point.

We will overwhelm you with reason, not our fists.

However that does not mean that we are weak or defenseless. Quite the contrary. We are powerful, and bright, and inspired.

But attacking people with violence is the province of the un-evolved conservative, not the highly evolved liberal thinker.
