I've posted twice now on the Berkeley versus the Marines battle going on.

Lots more has happened on this front, including unconfirmed reports of what appears to be fighting between protesters. And Harry Reid is showing his brave, brave face by running away. Read on for more!

Here's a break from election stuff.

Last week I reported on the City of Berkeley against the Marines; where the City of Berkeley, CA has tried to get rid of the Marine recruitment center, calling them invaders and unwanted.

That got them a fair amount of attention. Negative attention. Read on to find out more!

There's a brewing war being waged by the City of Berkeley, California, to get rid of a US Marine Corp Recruiting station that is open inside the city limits.

In the last few days, Berkeley has tried to do several things to pressure the Marines to leave town. Of course, there's lots of outrage and reaction to this move. More after the jump.

Apparently Rahm Emanuel, number 4 Dem in the House, thinks so.

"As an amateur student of constitutional history and as a member of Congress, I have come to the conclusion that the Senate was a historic mistake," said Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the No. 4 Democrat.

That is from today's NYT

I was just imagining what it would be like to have Chavez for President. Just think:

I've searched, but didn't find much on this story at DailyKos.

In Olympia, Washington, there has been some rather serious clashes between protestors and police over the last week, leading to numerous arrests, tear gas, concussion grenades, protesters assaulting journalists, and other events.

I was just wondering the general attitude of people here at the DailyKos. There's a lot of angst about a possible war with Iran--with claims of Bush chomping at the bit, etc. And a lot of people who seem against a war completely.

So is that really so? Let's set aside any theories of Bush wanting us to go to war. What would it take for you to support any conflict with Iran?

Over the past couple of days, I've tracked the controversy at the University of Delaware. In brief, they had a program of diversity "training" for their dormitory residents that many students alleged was nothing more than indoctrination and brainwashing.

And it was mandatory.

Yesterday, after my diary was published, the school caved.

Yesterday I posted a diary about the coming firestorm over the University of Delaware's Resident Life diversity program. A free speech group basically called it a political indoctrination that was mandatory. Today, there's more--lots of news happening on this front.

The conservative blogs are going nuts over the University of Delaware forcing students to undergo "treatment for student's incorrect beliefs."

Apparently, the U of Del is forcing students to admit that all whites are racist.

Here's the money quote:

"[a] racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality."

Here's some excerpts from the forced "training" that the students go through: Link to excerpts.

What do you think of the U of Del's training program? Is it defensible? I mean, calling all whites racist by nature is a bit extreme, I think.

Right now, there's something called "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" going on at several colleges around the country. Speakers include Ann Coulter, Robert Spencer of Jihadwatch, and David Horowitz, among others.

Last night, Horowitz's speech was shut down by a bunch of protesters who literally shouted him down. Eventually, they canceled his speech. Who were the protesters? Several students, Islamic groups, and leftist organizations.

What's up with Hillary? Once again, she's under fire for what appears to be shady campaign money. A new story in the LA Times talks about it.
