Fun at Harvard
December 4th, 2012 at 2:00 pm by David FarrarTerry at The Conservative is upset with Harvard. Why?
First with their approval of a bondage club, and the second with a flyer sent by one of their single-sex social groups inviting people to their club which included the following statement: ’Jews need not apply.’ ‘Seriously, no f*****g Jews.’
I think a bondage club is an excellent campus club. Much more useful than a debating club where all they do is talk and argue. All the Vic DebSoc members would be far better employed to get their kink on, than spend an hour arguing for and against paid parental leave!
But what about this Jew hating club? Well here is the pamphlet for it:
Terry comments:
You will notice these liberals—when exposed to media attention—try to pass off the Jew hate as satirical.
Umm, I don’t think anyone could read the above flyer and not think it is satirical.
I’m reasonably sensitive to anti-semitism but I actually think the flyer is hilarious – it is satirising anti-semitism like Southpark does.

Good to see you’re reading one of NZ’s best blogs.
One that is not afraid to offend the social sensibilities of the pathetic little Marxist totalitarian progressives who do their damn best to control NZ’s cultural condition.

“Good to see you’re reading one of NZ’s best blogs.”
but how can we take anyone seriously if they are unable to spot such an obvious piss-take?

Terry obviously did so without great difficulty. Though it is quite possible that he didn’t think that much at all.
Next thing you know he will be quoting the Onion, just like China and Iran.
So much for “one of NZ’s best blogs”
Vote:Or was that satire as well? I can’t tell anymore.

Nobody is asking you to do anything. We are all free to make our own judgments on such issues.
Frankly whether it is an error or not on this occasion does not concern me one iota.
Terry runs an excellent CONSERVATIVE blog and he is not the least afraid to take the fight to the authoritarians who pose as liberals today.
His site is a breath of fresh air in the oppressive political atmosphere created by the (so called) liberal bloggers.

Its not just me who smiles when I read this stuff from red is it? I mean, that one nearly made me giggle.

And as we can see he is not afraid of taking the fight to a satirical piece at Havard.
Vote:Excellence at its best.

Given the preponderance of ethnicities at Harvard, it’s obviously a joke. On a more serious note concerning Jews at Harvard. Anyone interested in the Ivies and higher education ought to read this long, but fascinating, article by Ron Unz.

I knew about the discrimination against Asians. I had no idea about the rest.

Hm. The “seriously” bit does tend to suggest that they might be serious so it’s easy to see how this could be taken the wrong way. Otherwise they’d say “we’re kidding, don’t take it so seriously”.

This looks like it could be a parody *of* anti-Semitism. I’m not familiar with Harvard culture (this is the first time I’ve ever heard of “final clubs”), but the facts as they’re presented in the article seem consistent with the idea mentioned in the article that the parodists were using “no Jews” (which people generally find offensive) as a comparison with “no women” (a rule that some final clubs apparently have, but that people seem to be OK with, or at least not want to do anything about).

Thanks for the interest in my post, and thanks for the hits. Regardless of whether the flyer is viewed by many as satirical or not; I doubt Jews would think it was. But more to the point, context is important; Jewish ridicule is a good thing in liberal circles, but dare they ridicule Muslims is another question. I also wrote this in my post:
“…..liberal students are well aware they can get away with Jewish hate as Jewish hate is a good thing in liberal circles; you would never see a statement that read ‘Seriously no f*****g Muslims,’ would you?”
PS. I’m not one for satire, but I can take the piss – Terry

Ah well, you knew I was writing about you didn’t you, you phoney socialist goon.

Satirical? If so, they failed. Where/what is the satire? How about they try “Blacks need not apply” instead? No, didn’t think so, their lefty mates would ream them so they needed a softer target. The Conservative got it right first time – pwogressive twats. Maybe they will grow up one day.
