As reported by Washington Times [washingtontimes.com] Wait, I am passing stuff from the Moonie Times? That is worse that shilling for Breitbarf!! Oh, well, here is the story.

Andrew Oswalt, an Oregon State University PhD candidate facing charges for allegedly placing racist bumper stickers on the cars of local activists, is slated to be booted from the school’s student government, resolving weeks of uproar spurred by a controversial profile published in the campus newspaper hours before his arrest last month.

Well, at least they got him before he stabbed someone on a train, or ran into MDC.

Only 505 out of 4947 participants voted against removing Mr. Oswalt from the student government, or about 10.21 percent.

Wow, anyone familiar with campus voter turnout rates will understand that is a stunning repudiation! More than twice the normal!

But, on the downside:

Over 4,440 participants – or about 89.79 percent – voted to give him the boot, however, easily surpassing the two-thirds vote needed, The Oregonian first reported early Saturday.

“Given OSU’s acceptance rate and the state of modern universities, I would have been happy with 5% approval from the student body, especially given the media and legal campaign against me,” Mr. Oswalt told The Washington Times.

“The fact that 10% of my peers would stand with me against the Marxist tyranny destroying this country is incredibly heartening, and I foresee a bright future for this state and our country,” Mr. Oswalt added.

Thank goodness the 10% of his peers, (which I estimate to be less than 10% of the College population) are willing to stand against the (all caps on now! ) MARXIST TYRANNY!!!. No doubt controlled by Russia, via the Trump Administration.

You could read the entire Fine Article, but it is Washington Moonie Times, and,

The Washington Times is switching its third-party commenting system from Disqus to Spot.IM.

What? Disqus was not restrictive enough for the far right religious wackos that own the Washington Times? So now I have to go get an account with Spot.im to say what I wanted to say about this total farce of a Fine Article? Do they actually think this is going to fly?

This is your Correspondent, aristarchus, on the ground on the internet, reporting to you live as alt-right idiocy implodes upon itself.
