This flier has been appearing all over the George Washington campus. We're calling it "Adam Kokesh's brain on academia:"

Apparently the good folks at the Young America’s Foundation asked to have the posters relocated away from their event. We're not sure what their exact reasons were, but the pleas probably ranged from "this is a smear" to "this is obscene" to "we are students who need our IQ and looking at this is sucking our intelligence out of our earsr". All good reasons, but thus far the dean has declined to enforce minimal decency on the private academic campus. The poster, by the by, has the GWU logo on it. Someone should ask the dean about that.

We'd like to say that we're not concerned because this kind of breathless hysteria is self-discrediting. But people actually believe this. Tens of thousands of them. Not only do they believe Japan was ready to surrender before Hiroshima and that there has been a mass roundup of Arab-Americans - they also believe that these are linked to Iraq. Their understanding of history and politics is so shallow - and their conspiracy theories so pathological - that these posters actually confirm their suspicions about the world. It's like the California Democrat from a few days ago who linked the California wildfires to Iraq. Because why not? (ht/: Moses)

In the meantime, check out the joint Hot Air / YAF confrontation with Kokesh.
