One of the two students removed from Oberlin College earlier this year for allegedly circulating virulently racist, anti-Jewish and anti-gay messages around campus is an ardent leftist and committed supporter of President Barack Obama, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.Dylan Bleier, one of the two students, organized a voter registration drive on behalf of Obama before the 2008 election. That voter drive is still listed on the website for Organizing for Action, the non-profit group whose mission is to advance Obama’s agenda.The Oberlin Police Department identified Bleier and his partner in the spree, Matt Alden, as two of the principal architects of a month-long spate of racist, anti-Jewish and anti-gay messages at the small, private campus.Bleier also describes himself on Twitter as an “atheist/pacifist/environmentalist/libertarian socialist/consequentialist.”The progressive school canceled all classes for a day in a mad scramble to address the alleged hate-related incidents the campus. The saga culminated in a report of a person wearing a hood and robe resembling a KKK outfit near the Afrikan Heritage House, according to Oberlin’s president Marvin Krislov in a letter also signed by three deans.
You can be sure that the faculty and students of Oberlin were quivering with righteous moral fervor for being given the opportunity to fight racism, sexism, anti-Semitism and homophobia in the bright light of day and with the approval of all right-thinking people. They were just "this close" to giving the hoaxers an award for giving them an opportunity to strut their stuff before the last vestiges of reason intervened and they decide on expulsion after all.

Any kid who thinks "libertarian socialist" is anything but an intellectually confused self-immolating conflict in terms needs to be arrested for his own safety.
