Rutgers inspires, Part II. While Rutgers' "Israel Inspires" event last weekend brought thousands out to rally for Israel, the extemely-extremist wing of the pro-suicide bomber group ISM held their pathetic conference at a Ramada Inn in New Brunswick.

Evan Coyne Maloney - who has a hobby of going to rallies and filming the protesters saying the dumb things they tend to say - took his video camera to the NJ ISM conference. Of course some protesters tried to stop him from filming.
For a while, they surrounded me and hit the front of my camera with signs to stop me from filming the rally's speakers. Eventually, they backed off after realizing that cameras from several other media outlets--including NBC News, WCBS-TV, and Channel 12 New Jersey--were capturing their actions.
I'm really looking forward to the video of this one!

UPDATE: "Israel Inspires" rally report from former Rutgers student Steve Silver.

UPDATE: Oops! Steve says he has never been nor is he now a Rutgers student. Sorry, Steve! But I know he has friends there who confirm everyone's worst impressions of Charlotte Kates. . . .

UPDATE: Recent ISM antics. (You can track ISM antics here.) And someone at LGF posted this classic - I had been looking for it a few months ago. It's pretty funny, check it out.
