Last night I ended Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week on an unexpectedly high note at Dartmouth. Even the hostile questions had less of an edge to them than they had at Brown, DePaul, and the University of Rhode Island, and the overwhelming majority of questioners were sympathetic to the perspective I was representing.
I think the people in the audience who had come planning to ask angry questions were caught flat-footed by the stark difference between the Spencer they read about in their propaganda and the Spencer of real life. Which is an object lesson in why the Leftists and jihad sympathizers who have so thoroughly propagandized American campuses at this point will ultimately fail. Those they have propagandized will begin to experience cognitive dissonance, noticing the increasing disparity between the lies they've been fed and the realities of the world -- and then the nasty, foolish little empire will begin to crumble.
I'm very glad to hear this. I caught Pipes at Tufts, and it was at times very frustrating. There was no little organization of anti-war protesting, but there was cautioning that they were NOT to interrupt the speaker and were not being given permission "to drag him off." Well, that's good!
You got the ball rolling!
It will become massive, its only a matter of time now!
Robert, the work you and the others did this week will bear fruit down the road. The truth will out.
Never give in to the left wing scum. They are weak and cowardly and if you rise above there slurs and insults, good people will follow you.
Well, well. The majority at Dartmouth appreciates Mr. Spencer! Kudos to Dartmouth!
As for Emory (esp. Emory) and Berkeley - you poor brainwashed little fools.
Robert:
The dissonance is only apparent when the speakers show such striking resolve not to be reduced to the level of the audience.
Not everyone is good at that. You however seem perfectly suited for this task. A true to life Frodo Baggins!
Kudos for a performing a difficult and much needed job.
They cannot handle real truth, real reason, and most of all REALITY...they cannot stand up to it.
Evil never can.
I attended the Dartmouth talk, and I was glad the talk went without interruption. I appreciated your speaking style; sometimes the very specific names and facts went too fast for me to entirely hear (I guess I'm an old man, too), but the outline of the talk was excellent and easy to follow. I would like to comment on the tone: I thought it was reasonable; a tone which, if all our debates were this well-reasoned, would go along way toward improving everyone's quality of understanding, choices of beliefs, and choices of actions.
Thank you for your efforts, your scholarship, and bringing your intellect to bear in such a minefield of a research area.
Hey everyone, I'm the student who organized all the events of IFAW at Dartmouth including Mr. Spencer's talk. I just want you to know that not only did Robert Spencer speak to a respectful and positive audience, he RECEIVED A STANDING OVATION!!!
Despite promised protests and numerous threats I have received, there was not a single protester! I am proud to be a member of the Dartmouth community today. Yesterday was a great day for freedom of speech and breaking through the silence and raising awareness about Islamo-fascism! IFAW was an astounding success!!
The good thing about these types of events is that it gives the Islamists a chance to photo the useful-idiots that show up to protest against the protest against Islamofascism and a Global Caliphate.
These useful-idiots will be the first victims of Taqqiya in America and will be the ones on the beheading video made right here in the West at various Mosques that are Holy Places and must be warned ahead of time if the Police want to enter.
The really good news for the rest of us is that once all the idiots are killed-off by Muhammed's warriors it will leave a stronger Gene-pool of Humans that will unite to defend America merely by the Survival gene in our DNA that over-powers the pacifist Gene that loves to Hug-A-Thug and have group sing alongs to tame the Jihadists.
So sit right back and watch how Life will always fight for existance and adapt to defend itself for the mere survival , as shallow as it sounds , the Earth belongs to whom ever can sustain an existance .
At the rate that Muslims are slaughtering each other it will plateau the growth chart by cutting down the Females being used to breed more suicide bombers.
Ah, such good news! We need that. But we'll keep working on this no matter what, and at times when the news is bad, we'll redouble our efforts.

TheBigH, you should be proud, but please take care for your safety. I'd also strongly suggest (if you have not done so already) reprinting some of the death threats you've received in the Dartmouth campus paper, etc. You should let your fellow students and the Dartmouth faculty and staff see just how considerable an amount of determination and courage are required to bring a speaker like Mr. Spencer to a college campus.

He surely deserved a standing ovation and thank you for all you did to get him to Dartmouth! It is so good to hear that the leftist useful idiots and islamic thugs from the ubiquitous muslim student association didn't create enough chaos to ruin the event; I'm sure they tried.
You and Mr. Spencer both deserve medals for your courage. The fight to educate Americans about islam will get nastier and meaner before it's won, but we must win. My sincere thanks go out to everyone who participated in this valiant project. I deeply regret that Emory University, which I attended for a brief time many years ago, has been taken over by the MSA and left-wing idiots. When I was there, the only muslim in sight was on the faculty and he ditched islam shortly after arriving in the U.S. Things sure have changed, and not for the better. How sad.
Nice job ya did there, Susan...kudos to ya.
Maybe many of them weren't there because of this weekends screeding...

strange how some of the described groups are unexpected, like labor unions, but the AFSC isn't unexpected (it's run by george "the capo" soros), since we know what he stands for.
Good thing is, they're getting weaker and weaker (even the AP knows not to buy the organizers numbers claims anymore, lol).
Either way, I think IAW was devastating to the islamofascist front and their islamicommie lackeys here.
It will take a little time to see its effects, but rest assured it was profound.
Congrats to all in this noble endeavour.
Emory has become a pitiful sight, and for some reason, a lot of students there are of the Mohammedan persuasion. Why is that?
The power & control monopoly/racket of the unholy alliance, of which wackodemia runs the show.
One might wonder how any educational effort put forth by a very few individuals can stop the march of violent, fundamentalist Islam?
To begin with, if no such effort is made, we will never know whether it would have made a difference.
Moreover, it is like the Bible verse and spiritual song: "Ezekiel Saw the Wheel:
"It's a wheel in a wheel.
... The little wheel runs by faith
... The big wheel runs by the grace of God."
(I.e. the seemingly inadequate efforts of a few puny humans somehow can and do make a big and surprisingly disproportionate difference in the outcome of the bigger scheme of things.)
