ORONO, Maine — Officials at the University of Maine are searching for whomever is responsible for putting up posters around campus this week seeking to recruit members to a white supremacist group.

The posters referring to the White Student Union since have been removed by students and staff who denounced the group as hate-based, according to Robert Dana, the university’s vice president for student affairs.

“On Wednesday night, some posters, small posters, 11 by 11 [inches], were put up around campus at different places, mostly buildings and utility poles,” Dana said. “The posters read, ‘A specter is haunting campus — the specter of a … White Student Union. You have a right to your heritage. Organize. Learn more. Join us.”

“The White Student Union is a nationally recognized organization that does not comport with our beliefs in equality and diversity,” Dana said. “Every national report we’ve read is that this an an offensive, stereotyping group. The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have it classified as a hate group, which is wholly, solely and completely against what we stand for and the nature of our community.”

The group has previously surfaced at campuses in Maryland and Georgia, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The University of Maine Student Government “takes a strong stance against behavior or speech that is discriminatory or racist, or could ever be interpreted as such,” Student President Harold “Trey” Stewart III said Friday in an email.

“We have several multicultural groups incorporated under our organization that engage and host activities and events aimed at defeating ignorant mentalities and behaviors such as those exemplified by the material in question,” Stewart said in a news release issued the day after the fliers were discovered. “We strongly condemn those actions and work hard every day to promote a multicultural, friendly, inclusive and hate-free campus.”

Messages seeking comment from the Multicultural Student Life & The Multicultural Center at UMaine and the Greater Bangor Area NAACP and the Portland NAACP office were not immediately returned Friday.

UMaine is not the only campus to find such posters. The University of Toronto, Ryerson University and York University, which are large public colleges in Canada, were plastered with White Student Union posters on Tuesday, which caused an uproar with campus leaders, according to The Daily Caller.

“We’re encouraging students to push back with their objections to this freedom of speech with more freedom of speech,” Dana said. “We’re making efforts to discover who put these posters up so we can have a discussion with them about what it means on a campus like this.”

A specter is haunting campus

Sounds like a bright red flag marked false.

I'd ask to see the "material in question", but my J-dar has gone from a few beeps to hummingbirds. None of us can out bite an alligator. Politicians are the same, tiny little lizard brains, basking in warm glow and all that. We can't cut off the money, but we damned sure can cut off the adulation.

J-dar -- tiny little lizard brains -- you're in rare form, because it's so TRUE!!! Remember, gang, people have charted the very high level of hate crime hoaxery -- even liberaloids.

Crying Wolf: Hate Crime Hoaxes In America
QUOTED BLURB: A thoroughly documented and extensively footnoted study of false and fabricated racist, anti-Gay, and anti-Semitic “hate crimes” actually perpetrated by the “victims” themselves to gain sympathy, advance a political agenda, or for monetary gain. Reviews: (Wilcox’s Report) “contains one documented example after another of extremists of all political stripes - but mostly from groups generally considered societal victims - who have been caught attempting to fabricate “hate crimes.” Phil Stanford, The (Portland) Oregonian, 13 January 1993. “Hoo boy, talk about a powderkeg! This explosive book examines a subject nobody wants to talk about - people who fake hate crimes, such as physical attacks and the destruction or defacing of property that are alleged to be motivated by the victim’s race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.” Russ Kick, Outposts, 1995. From the notorious Tawana Brawley hoax to cases reported only locally, each hoax is analyzed in terms of apparent motives, techniques employed, and payoff to the “victim.” Crying Wolf also discusses the intended and unintended consequences of these hoaxes, and the role of special interest groups in generating irresponsible ‘hate crime” statistics. A list of traits to help identify hoaxes is included. 1995. Laird Wilcox, Author. ISBN 0-933592-82-5. $19.95 Postpaid!
