Conservatives Assaulted After Speaker Shouted Down

Conservatives Chased by Violent Protesters with Baseball Bats
East Lansing, Mich. – Nick Griffin, the chairman of the British National Party, did not receive a pleasant welcome during his visit to Michigan State University on Friday. Countered by a mob of extremists, Griffin continually faced loud remarks and booing during his two-hour speech at the university.
After protesters disrupted America’s pledge of allegiance, Griffin constantly dealt with loud accusations of racism, baby killing and hatred. Throughout the event, Griffin was ignored and all questions relating to mass immigration were immediately shouted down and screamed upon. YAF chairman Kyle Bristow stated that he “was amazed at the level of savagery that occurred at a so-called institution of higher learning.” Video footage of the event is available upon request.
Upon exiting the building, YAF members were chased by a mob of extremists carrying baseball bats, canes and sticks. The mob shouted “let’s get them” as the YAF members ran towards safety.
Police reports have been filed and YAF is working with authorities; although the police have been little help in the past; Bristow hopes that Michigan State will stand up for free speech and civility on its campus. “Michigan State needs to defend free speech instead of promoting the hatred and intolerance of the Left. Griffin’s opposition claims to oppose fascism yet it seems that the fascists come from groups such as MEChA, La Raza, LGBT, and Students for Economic Justice. These organizations hate diversity, hate intellectual debate and do not tolerate anyone that does not think like them. YAF will not be intimidated and will continue to oppose left-wing fascism.”
The Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) is a conservative, non-partisan political organization that was founded on September 11, 1960. Former members of YAF include President Ronald Reagan, author Pat Buchanan, Congressmen Tom Tancredo and Dana Rohrabacher, Vice Presidents Dick Cheney and Dan Quayle, and actor John Wayne.
This is not the first time an event hosted by conservatives was disrupted at MSU. Last year, protesters disrupted a speech by Congressman Tom Tancredo and Minuteman Chris Simcox. Both of these events made national news.

Wow, I hope you managed to capture video of the leftists chasing you. I hope nobody was hurt.
Just a word of advice, I'd avoid using extreme wording such as "fascism" in your press releases. The extreme left at MSU are out of control but they're certainly not fascist. As George Orwell wrote, "Many political words are...abused. The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies something not desirable." The same goes for comparing people to Hitler, Stalin, Nazis, or communists (unless they've explicitly stated that they are communists).
An excellent guide for improving the clarity of one's writing is Orwell's essay "Politics and the English Language."
"Upon exiting the building, YAF members were chased by a mob of extremists carrying baseball bats, canes and sticks. The mob shouted “let’s get them” as the YAF members ran towards safety."
Oh wow, was it 'Catch a Young American for Freedom Day'? ;)
They shouldn't have acted that way, obviously, and I hope they are punished. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't laughing at the karma.
