Within minutes of the revelation that the hanging of controversial Muslim posters was the work of anti-war students, the Internet was ablaze with commentary from pundits and bloggers.

“The Left fakes the hate at GWU,” declared conservative pundit Michelle Malkin on her blog.

“As Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week draws closer, expect more of this unhingedness from the campus apologists for jihad and sharia.”

Some of the blogs attacked GW’s administration for what they perceived as an anti-conservative bias.

“Islamotards Give It The Ole College Try, And A Leftist Administration Supports Them” read a headline on the right-wing blog Freedom Zone. The blog post, written by “Richard” attacked Bridgette Behling, the assistant director of the Student Activities Center, for asking the Young America’s Foundation to sign a letter condemning hate speech, referring to her as a “bimbo leftist nutcase.”

Behling did not return calls for comment.

Jason Mattera of Human Events, a magazine that bills itself as “Leading the conservative movement since 1944,” said that GW was “on a rampage against a conservative group on campus for posting anti-Muslim fliers that the group had nothing to do with.” Materra specifically accused Tim Miller, the executive director of SAC, for presuming “that the conservatives were guilty before they even represented their innocence.”

Miller did not return calls for comment.

HotAir, a conservative blog, posted excerpts from one of the members of the Students for Conservativo-Fascism Awareness Facebook profile.

Mike Licht, proprietor of NotionsCapital, a blog that focuses on issues in D.C., took a different tact.

“Personally, I am thoroughly bored with the whole thing by now,” he wrote. “I urge the GWU administration to sentence the seven pranksters to compulsory humor training, perhaps with Comedy SportzTM or GWU’s own Kimberley Stern.” Stern, a GW professor, teaches a class titled “Topsy Turvy: Comedy, Satire, and Revolt in the Victorian Period.”

“Nothing like having to explain, in detail, why your joke was funny to make it clear you have no future in comedy,” popular local blog DCist added.

Newspapers as far away as India commented on the matter. Before the perpetrators came forward, Newkarala.com wrote that “The ‘liberal’ campus image of George Washington University here received a blow today when anti-Muslim posters were found plastered to the walls of the varsity.”

The secular Pakistan Daily Times wrote that the posters were “another sign of the general feeling against growing Islamist radicalism.”

In sharp contrast to the Daily Times, IslamOnline wrote that the posters represent an “an anti-Islam campaign that includes hate posters and a series of activities to rally students against the alleged threat Islam poses to the U.S. and the world.”
