Virginia University dormitories to be cleared of students in order to make way for Sarah Palin and her entourage/family. Update!

"Are you sure they're all gone?"

Courtesy of Joe's blog:

“a whole dorm full of students were told to go home for the weekend so that her entourage could stay there. Some of them were pretty bent out of shape.”

Yep you can't have any prying eyes around when the Palins come to town now can you?

Interesting that our very own Alaskan homophobic-in-chief Jerry Prevo currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Liberty University, don'tcha think?

You might remember Prevo as having joined Palin, along with Franklin Graham, in an effort to help her save face when she failed to come to the aid of the rural Alaskans during their time of crisis, and needed a grand gesture to convince people that she really DID care. She "accomplished" this by purchasing cookies, which she claimed to have made, and then handing them out to the wrong villagers.

(By the way did I mention that Prevo ALSO serves as a board member on Franklin Graham's "we'll help you if you convert" charity Samaritan's Purse?  Well he does.)

Palin should feel quite comfortable on the campus of Liberty University.  Founder Jerry Falwell was one of the last segregationists standing when the racist south was dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th Century:

Born and raised in America's segregated South, Falwell preached that racial segregation was the Lord's will, but dropped such overt racism from his perspective when it became unpopular to say such things aloud. Still, from his pulpit Falwell supported South African apartheid, and opposed Nelson Mandela's release from prison. In one of his earliest appearances in the national media, Falwell made headlines by criticizing Rev Martin Luther King for his political activism. "Preachers are not called to be politicians", said the young Falwell, "but to be soul winners". (Wow! Considering that THIS is the man who formed the Moral Majority, that is one ginormous piece of hypocrisy to swallow!)

It is not talked about much these days, but Falwell actually founded Lynchburg Baptist College, later to be called Liberty University, NOT because he was called by God to do so (as he would preach from his pulpit for the next thirty plus years), but because he was trying to keep those dirty "Negroes" separated from the nice Christian white students, after the desegregation of dorms became the rule of the day.

Unfortunately for the southern racists, eventually Falwell was forced to allow the "colored folks" to attend his school and live in his dorms.

But don't worry! On the weekend of October 8 they will be segregated once again, allowing ONLY Dominionism embracing Wasilla white trash to stay in its rooms!

Somewhere Jerry Falwell is smiling.  (And if there really IS a God that "somewhere" will be the fiery pits of hell!)

Update: Okay this is MUCH worse than I first thought.

The Liberty University kids will NOT have to give up their rooms to Palin and her supporters, the students being ejected are from neighboring Virginia University of Lynchburg.

Here is the report by WSET:

Students at The Virginia University of Lynchburg say they're not sure who they should blame for making them move out of their dorm rooms. 

VUL students have been living in two local motels that have been converted into dorms. But those motels are all booked next Thursday, Friday and Saturday because visitors are coming to see Sarah Palin at the Liberty University Women's Conference. 

Now, the students have to get out. 

Antwan Jenkins, an LU student staying at the Travel Lodge, says it's just not fair he has to repack all of his stuff, along with his pet lizard, just when he finally got his room the way he likes it. 

"Yeah we have to get everything up out of here, like we're going home for good," said Jenkins. 

University officials say it's been the plan since the students first moved in. 

"Sarah Palin is coming to town and those arrangements had been made long before we began to use the motels for students," said Dr. Ralph Reavis, the VUL president. 

Carlos Bodre, who's here from NYV, says it caught him off guard this week. He says it will cost him $250 for a train home to New York. "I ain't got a job so I ain't even got that money so I have to call my parents and let them know that they got to pay," said Bodre. 

Jasmin Coley, who lives at Travel Lodge, is planning for her mom to come get her from Washington, D.C. 

"It cost her a $100 to get here, which means coming and going and then bringing me back and then going back is $400 that we don't have. We're not rich," said Coley. 

Did anybody else happen to notice that seemingly ALL of these suddenly homeless students were African American? (Click the link to view the video)

Well surely we can't blame THAT on Sarah Palin. I mean that just must be a coincidence, right?
