Hell’s Bells!/Hegel’s Bagels!
DEATH THREATS AT PRINCETON:
Four officers of the Anscombe Society and a prominent conservative politics professor received threatening emails Wednesday evening from off-campus email addresses.
The five individuals received identical messages telling them they would “suffer,” ordering them to “shut the fuck up” and declaring that “you are not welcome here.” “We will destroy you,” the message said.
Though the message did not explicitly mention the Anscombe Society, the four students who received emails were Anscombe vice president Jonathan Hwang ’09, president Kevin Staley-Joyce ’09, former president Sherif Girgis ’08 and administrative committee chair Francisco Nava ’09. Politics professor Robert George — who has publicly supported conservative causes, including the Anscombe Society’s goal of promoting chastity — also received the message.
I guess it’s part of the growing climate of fear in America.
UPDATE: More here:
Francisco Nava ’09 was physically attacked by two men in Princeton Township Friday evening, sustaining a concussion but no other serious injuries. The assault comes on the heels of several threatening messages recently sent to Nava, apparently in connection with his involvement with the socially conservative Anscombe Society.
I wonder if this will get the kind of attention that politically-reversed assaults would get?*
Nava ’09 admits to fabricating assault, threatening e-mails
Francisco Nava ’09 has admitted to fabricating an alleged assault on him that he said occurred Friday evening and also to sending threatening emails to himself, other members of the Anscombe Society and prominent conservative politics professor Robert George, Princeton Township Police said today.
“He fabricated the story,” Det. Sgt. Ernie Silagyi said.
Nava was released to Public Safety and charges “have not been filed pending further investigation,” according to a statement from Township Police.
I expect he’ll be punished severely, possibly expelled, as he ought to be.
A pity universities don’t deliver such punishments against lefties who concoct fake hate crimes against themselves.
Indeed, one would hope that the case of Justin Zatkoff would serve as an example to them.
* Reynolds later noted the hoax.
[Hanx! J–]
What’s the punishment for jackass bloggers who mindlessly pimp this shit and don’t seem the least bit bothered when it turns out to be crap?
Is it a wedgie? I hope it’s a wedgie.
Does that goober with a law degree EVER admit he’s wrong?
A pity universities don’t deliver such punishments against lefties who concoct fake hate crimes against themselves.
Yeah, dammit. Those damn lefties do this kind of crap all the time, send themselves threatening messages, lie about assaults, admit it and get off totally scot free!
Huh? They what?
They don’t actually do that?
And if they did they’d be punished just as severely?
Well then what are you saying? Ace is actually lying?
Damn, never saw that one coming…
mikey
oh. my. god.
thanks a load for burning out my brain with the stoopid, gavin. i have a final in 15 minutes, and i will be sending you my tuition bill after i fail it for having submitted nothing but failed proofs that ace does not exist.
That is the last defence of the wingnut: ” Well… yeah.. but, but… librals do it too! Uh huh- WORSE then what we do- well… no I dont have any examples- but I heard of a guy who had this friend… in like Tacoma or something and his brother said…”
Is it me or does Gav’s formula work for every single wingnut uproar?
Herald story that neatly captures long held crackpot belief. Get proven wrong. Imagine what the world would have been like if the crackpot belief was proven right.
I wish shame was something you could actually catch. Because I’d sneeze it their way if I could.
Quick — have they rounded up all the Ivy-league educated grade school teaching women for questioning?
One can’t be too careful.
Does that goober with a law degree EVER admit he’s wrong?
Well, Ye Ole Professor did post this today:
Of course we’re leaving out the possibility that the liebrals who staff the Princeton Police Department beat a fake confession out of him — which would neatly prove the undeniable existence of Liberal Fascism.
Whatever else happens, I declare open season on this guy simply because he has a hyphenated name. I hate that shite.
To me, the concussion made a hoax seem unlikely, but that just proves that some people will go to great lengths, I guess.
That, or he may have lied about the concussion, you fucking hillbilly. Jesus Christ. He’s a regular Perry Mason, this genius.
“Former Anscombe president Sherif Girgis ’08 said he is ‘deeply angry and upset’ at the news the incident was fabricated. ‘I am deeply troubled about what this must mean about Francisco and about his personal life,’ he said…
“…although the personal lives of myself and the others in our organization are above reproach, NOT repeat NOT fucked-up, and indeed do not merit the slightest examination.”
Are these guys really called “’09”? Is it their adoptive surname or a sign of gang membership or something?
“To me, the concussion made a hoax seem unlikely, but that just proves that some people will go to great lengths, I guess.”
How many fingers am I holding up ? Allright, get back in the game !”
(how do you guys do your formatting in these threads ? I can’t find teh buttonz)
’09, ’08 signifies their class year. It tells the reader their age.
Class of 2009, Clyde
This is what happens when one promotes chastity. Thwarted Passion can kill! (See “skin & Bones by Thorne Smith)
Another fake hate crime, I guess
Like all hate crimes. Let’s just eliminate all hate crime legislation and call it even. Oh, and Larry Craig is further proof that all homosexuals are lying hypocrites who cannot be trusted to marry or hold public office.
Hey, snow! That means there must be a sky fairy that says that I don’t have to pay taxes!!
Who are these “lefties who concoct fake hate crimes against themselves” and escape punishment? Oh oh… nothing huh? Aww. I’m shocked.
Dare I say you just made it up?
It’s a pity, an idiot like you can’t learn from the mistakes of the idiot you are reporting on…
Here’s the synthesis I’m taking any from your post — you and Mr. Nava are both complete asses.
It’s obvious why lefties aren’t expelled.
The universities would never get anyone to pay bust-out full tuition.
Strange how they can instantly concoct fantastical scenarios in which a woman somehow drugs and gang-rapes herself, but they’re completely blindsided by someone pretending to have been punched (if it’s a wignut).
Yeah, but Love Potion ’09 had had to go an entire fifteen minutes without any pansy liberal at Princeton making him feel all victimized. Having nothing else to do on a Friday night, he faked a hate crime. Nothing to see here folks, just keep moving.
Oh, and right-wing bloggers? You might want to look at your own side, ever since Tricky Dicky won Congressional office by calling his female opponent a pinko. Karl Rove was not a bug, but a feature. Lee Atwater, anyone?
I guess when all the leaders of your political movement are amoral criminals, you easily believe that everyone else is, too.
It’s type-your-own around here. Less-than symbol, tag, then greater-than symbol.

He might be referring to ONE recent incident at a local uni. where the perpetrator scribbled a bunch of racist and homophobic on the doors of other people in his dorm and then left an anti-semitic remark on his own door (he is Jewish).
So there you have ONE incident of someone (I don’t know if he was liberal or not) faking hate crime against himself, but he was punished … so the author is still a stupid dick.
It’s type-your-own around here
“But I’m old….”
Thanks Gavin !
What about teh elitist lesbian fags on the Princeton campus who probably treated this poor conservative boy so poorly, as to to drive him to take desperate action? Think about THAT!
I remember once during my sophomore year when I got called into the dean’s office for faking my roomate’s suicide. I thought that the professors would all cut me a break if they felt sorry for me – must have been a movie I saw.
Anyway, before I even had a chance to sit down, she looked at me very sternly and asked, “Mr. Fuzzybottom, are you a conservative?” Matching her somber tone I rejoined, “Why yes, yes I am.” Her frown hardened and she silently began to fill out the paperwork for my public caning, solitary confinement, and expulsion. Suddenly I burst into laughter. “And what on Al Gore’s green earth is so funny, young man? She exclaimed. “I’m just joking, I’m a liberal. I really had you going, didn’t I?” “Quite the comedian,” she said icily. Then she let out a long sigh and smiled faintly. “Well, have a gingersnap, they’re over in that cabinet on your left.” As I left her office with the sweet spice of cookie melting on my tongue, I heard her chuckle softly behind me. “A conservative,” she murmered. “You kids really are fearless.”
Jeeeebus. That last sentence from Ace just bugs me. I just knooow he did absolutely zero research before saying that, but I’m sure he didn’t need to—because all universities are liberal, and they’re part of the vast left-wing conspiracy, so they protect their own. And the fact that that moronic fucker made the whole damn thing up (seriously, what kind of loser do you have to be to make shit like that up?) changes nothing about his belief that conservatives are persecuted on campus.
What, did it take you about five seconds on teh Google, Gavin?
I can’t stand people like this because there’s just no hope for them. Logic does not permeate their stupid shield. Willfully ignorant people should be kept in mental institutions and far away from being, say, President or something.
Gaaaah. I’m having a bad day, so it’s hard to snark at this.
I’m a semi-recovering pussy.

The sex act descriptions are priceless. I’m thinking Milton from “Office Space” here. Or maybe the lion-tamer-wannabe from Monty Python.
He demonstrates a certain, uh, lack of knowledge of what he is describing.
Surely Mathew Shepard deserved to be punished more severely than he was when he faked being beaten to a pulp and tied to a fence to die for being gay. Those liberals are always getting off easy when they fake attacks from conservatives. And don’t get me started about those abortion doctors who kill themselves then blame it on pro-lifers! We all know that if Timothy McVeigh had been a liberal, he would’ve gotten a handful of lolipops instead of a death sentence. It is so unfair!
Ok. Seriously. A conservative fakes an attack on himself and sends his own friends fake death threats and this shows how eeevil liberals are?!
Love Potion ‘09 had had to go an entire fifteen minutes without any pansy liberal at Princeton making him feel all victimized. Having nothing else to do on a Friday night, he faked a hate crime.
And he sent threatening messages to his own referent group members. Threatening messages. To his own “pals.” Then tried to blame a marauding gang of liberal thugs, of which there are so many to be found on the nation’s college campuses. So—the next step is to make him president of the association-thing? Resume fodder for his future career as a Republican Congressperson?
The sex act descriptions are priceless.
That’s my favorite part of the essay, Simba B. Close second goes to the litany of “some of the many consequences of ‘safer’ sex.”

You mean he skipped his shower?
This is why the left always loses at politics…
Remember the kid who claimed he was investigated by the HSA for checking out Mau’s “little red book” from the library? Yeah, he was lying and it turned out to be all a hoax, but if he had any real passion about faking stuff, he would have beat himself up! That’s how real men make fake news!
I’m not going to dogpile on this story much, because both sides have liars and hoaxes. I just think it’s telling that the right-wingers actually inflict physical injury to add credibility to their stories.
He
demonstratesproudly asserts a certain, uh, lack of knowledge of what he is describing.Give the man credit for consistency.
Looking at the “injury” photo…could it be that he was overcome by a bout of “irrational exuberance” during an epsiode while interviewing with Larry Craig about a position?
In his office, I mean…
Sorry to go OT, but a flight was diverted and emptied because of a lady farting:

Now back to your normal programming.
“What’s more, the data show that students have more and more anonymous sex during their freshman year through graduation.” – Francisco Nava
Oh dear. This “college” thing sounds dreadful.
Something else was in good supply this week that might not be the best medicine for today’s college students: condoms. Yes, buckets of them. Like candy, placed side-by-side with piles of Hershey’s chocolate, latex condoms were there for the taking. — FN, 09
This gum tastes funny.
Like candy, placed side-by-side with piles of Hershey’s chocolate, latex condoms were there for the taking.
Now that’s my idea of a Hershey Highway!

Well, yeah. That’s why it’s called college.
These guys have a serious pity jones.

Princeton junior Francisco Nava … Nava, 23
23 and a junior? I was 21 when I got my MA and most of my classmates were 22-23.
I didn’t know Princeton had a Special Ed program…
Police did not disclose a reason for Nava’s actions, though Silagyi said there were underlying personal issues on Nava’s part.
underlying personal issues…like being in the closet and deathly afraid to come out perhaps?
[…] short story is that for several weeks, Francisco Nava had been receiving emails and printed missives that […]
[…] It never occurred to me that I could accomplish the same thing by hitting myself repeatedly in the face! […]
23 and a junior?
Princeton asked him to take a year off between high school and college. It seems he pulled a similar stunt when at Groton School and Princeton wanted him to get his shit together.
Wow… you can’t make this stuff up.
Oh wait.
Nevermind!
J– Also included in Francisco “Bonky” Nava’s column, amidst all the empty bottles of booze and antidepressants, is a reference to “self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation.”
Ouch.
Ha. I missed that one, Grace Nearing. It’s a very sad case; the poor guy is crying out for help. And what did his friends in the Anscombe Society do when he admitted to faking the whole thing? The kicked him out, on the assumption Princeton University will do the same. Ouch ouch.
