KPU shifts from 'Let's hold hands and sing crap' speakers

Next year's Kennedy Political Union speaker lineup will revolve around the theme of "Intolerance: Screw the Melting Pot," incoming KPU Director Katharine K. Karlsen announced yesterday.

"It's about time we had speakers that embraced the thoughts and ideas of the silent minority on campus, of students who hate everyone," Karlsen said.

"I mean, since I've been here we've had Desmond Tutu, James Dale, and a ton of other people who are all about this lovey-dovey 'Let's hold hands and sing' crap," Karlsen continued. "I don't want to count the number of times I've gone back to the Lhetto from KPU events and gagged myself with a spoon from disgust."

Next year's tentative lineup includes:

- Jerry Falwell, conservative Baptist minister, evangelist and chancellor of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.

- Hutton Gibson, noted religion writer who denies the Holocaust happened, thinks the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks weren't done by Saudi Arabian terrorists on airplanes and believes Jews and Masons secretly reformed the Catholic Church in the 1960s. Gibson may also bring his son, Mel, Karlsen said.

- Richard Bondira, president of the Ku Klux Klan.

- Charles Juba, national director of the Aryan Nation.

- David Duke, president of the European-American Unity and Rights Organization.
