It's horrible what happened to this guy, but his reaction & the reaction of some conservative blogs shows the stupidity of the opposition. The image above is of Justin Zatkoff. He's a student at Oakland University in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and executive director of the Michigan College Republicans. At his University, he decided to do things like this...
On the campus of Oakland University, here in Oakland County, Michigan, Justin Zatkoff has developed quite a reputation. Last fall the University threatened to disclipline him for videotaping liberal protestors and posting clips of that video, edited to music and images of the destruction of fetuses, to the internet. When Oakland U realized it couldn't legally discipline him for speech, there is no question the offended students and others were not happy.
So last Saturday, after leaving a party in Ann Arbor, he got the shit beat out of him. Zatkoff & College Republicans are blaming "
militant leftists"....
It couldn't be that maybe he started drinking & spewing his bullshit views about Gays, Abortion or some other crap totally unrelated to politics at the party, and pissed the wrong person off. No,
the Gays were after him...
A source close to Zatkoff reports:
"Justin may have been 1. randomly attacked (but not robbed??), 2. attacked by BAMN (well known for violence andstrong in Ann Arbor), or 3. attacked by a homosexual rights group (Justin received an `odd/threatening' email from a gay rights group about a day before the attack.)
The Michigan College Republicans put out a statement, that said in part...
Justin is well-known for being a conservative and `in-your-face' Republican, and there is quite a bit of speculation that he was targeted by leftist groups. The side of his face was crushed, and he will need to undergo major surgery to rebuild it.
Over at
Fark, this story has turned into almost a photoshop contest. One poster over there said he thinks he found the
"militant leftist group" responsible for the attack...
