Of course, if anyone bothered to read the original newspaper article, it is clear that these "hate" posters were a satire on the Young America's Foundation at George Washington which is hosting a right-wing, anti-Islam "week" of events later this year (the Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, as it is called). The flyers suggested that anyone who "Hates Muslims like we do" contact YAF-GW and purportedly originated from a non-existent student group, Students for Conservativo-Fascism Awareness (note the linguistic similarities?). Not especially funny, but very successful guerilla theater. Absolutely protected by the First Amendment, and, for my money, calling a spade a spade -- or do you think the "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" is a love fest? E.
