WTF???? WTF???? WTF???

[Barbella]

This guy is either the dumbest Ivy League bigwig ever or politically correct to a fault — for welcoming offers to bring ISIS and Hamas to Cornell University.

A video sting operation shows Cornell’s assistant dean for students, Joseph Scaffido, agreeing to everything suggested by an undercover muckraker posing as a Moroccan student.

Scaffido casually endorses inviting an ISIS “freedom fighter’’ to conduct a “training camp” for students at the upstate Ithaca campus — bizarrely likening the activity to a sports camp.

Is it OK to bring a humanitarian pro-“Islamic State Iraq and Syria” group on campus, the undercover for conservative activist James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas asks.

Sure, Scaffido says in the recorded March 16 meeting.

Scaffido doesn’t even blink an eye when the undercover asks about providing material support for terrorists — “care packages, whether it be food, water, electronics.”

How about supporting Hamas?

No problem at all, Scaffido said.

“The university is not going to look at different groups and say, ‘You’re not allowed to support that group because we don’t believe them’ or something like that. I think it’s just the opposite. I think the university wants the entire community to understand what’s going on in all parts of the world,” Scaffido said.

I have ONE comment: WTF???

 

[as seen on tv]

Since Cornell still has an ROTC program, perhaps the ISIS campers would agree to participate in some sort of "wargames/training exercise" for their mutual benefit?

I can't even wrap my mind about this stupidity.... ISIS fighters are to be treated like 'campers'? Boy Scouts, maybe? WTF??????

Was it Cornell also that had asked Imanutjob from Iran speak at their college? I remember that happening, but can't remember which college.

I believe that was Columbia University, apparently another institution run by liberal morons....

We should all be able to hold hands and sing Kumbya. Maybe even share a Coca Cola.

"I want to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony"

How about we all share a Starbucks Latte together?

Given the history of O'Keefe's deliberately misleading video editing, I'd reserve judgment until more facts are out.

Sure, I don't get lectured on race nearly enough.

Oh, watch the damn video... maybe you'll believe your own eyes and ears?

Watch it yourself. Notice the cuts between some questions and answers. Were the answers really to the questions asked? Were there other exchanges in between that altered the meaning of the exchange? In the past, that was the O'Keeffe technique: giving people a false sense of what a conversation was like by way of creative editing.

http://gawker.com/5508190/okeefe-and-breitbart-acorn-videos-severely-edited

So, since this particular muckraker is known not be be honest, I'd want to be able to see the full, unedited material before deciding what really happened. And it's particularly problematic when the questions are being asked off camera, so that it wouldn't take much to dub in different questions. I mean, picture what someone using that technique could do if ethics were no obstacle. I could show up and ask you lots of fairly innocuous questions, filming your responses, then dub in different questions. I might ask you about organizing strictly humanitarian aid for an area, then dub in a question where I'm asking about organizing terrorist training, and suddenly your perfectly legitimate response in favor of humanitarianism comes across as support for terrorists.

Whatever....I'd kinda like to hear what an ISIS-ite has to say.
