Vile: LSU Gives Student Permission to Burn an American Flag — Update: Counter-Protesters Chanting “Go To Hell Hippy” Chase Him off Before He Could Burn Flag…
I really, really, really hope someone beats some respect into this punk’s ass.
(Fox News) — A student at Louisiana State University reportedly is planning to burn an American flag on campus Wednesday as part of a peaceful protest, the student newspaper reports.
The flag-burning comes nearly a week after police charged another student, Isaac Eslava, with taking the American flag at the campus’ historic War Memorial and burning it hours after news of Usama bin Laden’s killing by U.S. Navy SEALs.
The 10-by-15 flag flew atop a 102-foot pole 24 hours a day at the campus and honors all the war dead from LSU. Police said there was about $7,530 worth of damage at the memorial and called it very “coincidental” that the event took place so soon after bin Laden’s death.
Benjamin Hass, a communication studies graduate student, has reportedly followed university procedure in seeking clearance to host the flag-burning protest at noon on the Baton Rouge campus.
LSU’s student government president Cody Wells told The Daily Reveille that he and others plan to hold their own counter ceremony an hour after the protest, saying the Pledge of Allegiance and singing the national anthem.
Update: I love happy endings.

as we used to say in the Marines.
“Some things are just worth going to jail for a few days for”
Maybe some frat boys will kick the shit out of this bastard.
All good patriots need to show up and steal the flag from this asshole and then kick his ass! Surround him so that no one can see and kick his butt but good!
When is the official LSU koran burning?
I wonder if the authorities at LSU would have given someone who wanted to burn a Koran the green light. Probably not.
Mind you, if someone wants to buy a flag and burn it, as distasteful as I find it, it is a form of political speech. However, if you do chose to burn it, be prepared for the consequences.
I would never burn anybody’s flag or even a Koran. Burning something like that strikes me as petty and inmature, like you don’t have anything intelligent to say other that a useless gesture of rage.
So, do state colleges take direction from anybody? Board of Regents, Governor, Legislature?
.
To Benjamin Hass, communicate this….fuck you. Please leave the country, you do not deserve the honor of standing on our soil.
Need to give this little ingrate a one way ticket to the country of his choice. U.S.A. not among them.
Why would a guy who obviously hates America still be living here? Oh…that’s right. Because it’s here, and not in any of the communist/Islamist shitholes that he likely admires, that he can get a world class education.
Cowardly.
These turds who burn the flag (and dishonor it) or tell others they cannot have the flag on property better realize that a nation who abhors its own flag will one day have its enemy raise IT”S flag over the nation.

Anyone who seeks to desecrate the Stars and Stripes, on either foreign or domestic soil, is a fool.
If I lived near LSU I’d show up on campus, stand right next to the flag-burner, open up a Bible and began reading. I’d also bring a friend to capture it on video.
I do this just to find out how quickly I am arrested by campus police for ‘disturbing the peace’.
A counter protest: “saying the Pledge of Allegiance and singing the national anthem.”
Yeah, that’ll teach him…how about, preventing his burning of the flag by stomping his guts out?
More evidence of the wussification of America
And don’t give me the “freedom of speech and expression” busllshit either.
Interestingly enough, Obama has not tried to talk him out of it, and no court has intervened to jail him. Guess that is because it is only a flag, not a Quran.

Get the feeling he will get his ass kicked….
This takes you to the LSU email ‘tw students

Also, the Issac Eslava holds a “dual” citizenship from Columbia. Sort of says it all, doesn’t it. Sure he has his share of Che shirts.
A picture really is worth a 1000 words.
This is the dick-hole in question…

Did you ever fight for your country?
Maybe the wind will shift and this fucktard catches on fire too?. Karma so beautiful and warm…
so your response to violence is more violence!?
say goodbye to tolerance down in lsu (if there was any)…
What is “peaceful” about burning anything? No wonder George Orwell accused commies of “double-talk”. They are no different from mozzies: destroy while lying about it. Scum!!
Hass is clearly a kapo jew: hit him over the head with a koran!!
Spend a week (he wouldnt make it a day) in Juarez or some other turd world shit hole.
Then tell me why your burning our flag.
If you must burn the American flag, please role yourself in it first.
“Hey buddy, my daddy died for that flag.”
“Really? I bought mine. Yeah, they sell ‘em at K-Mart.”
“He died in Korea!”
“Wow, what a coincidence. Mine was made in Korea.”
No one—and I repeat, no one—has ever died for a flag. See, a flag is just a piece of cloth. They may have died for freedom, which is also the freedom to burn the f*ckin’ flag.
-Bill Hicks
Nope Rupaula your right, no one has ever died for a flag. But we willingly die for the ideas ” For which it stands”. Meaning, if you want to mock the values of the United Sates of America, be prepared to get you ass kicked.
Now this update brings one helluva smile to my face…great news!
Amen DG. Amen…
1:59 ” you cant run pussssssay ! ”
Hahahah
I cant stand these shit eaters that want to put this country down every chance they get. Why stay ? GTFO if you dont like it!
@Rupaula
Nice troll libtard quote. I’m sure it speaks to you.
You’re sad world view is protected by the very constitution that you likely mock and disrespect. Here’s a trite quote for you to mock: Freedom isn’t free.
The lack of respect for this country that the left has is an outward expression of self loathing and sadness. Many people that actually love the US get angry with the constant disrespect it is shown.
You seem to stand for nothing.
Just remember: It’s Bush’s fault.
Geaux away, hippie wannabe.
fuckn cool, yes there are many real americans still… we just dont get good press. BTW you wont see this story on any of the networks even though it should be plastered all over them for a couple days.
As Mark Steyn said once, “it’s great to have a flag worth burning” – I agree.
Apparently, our beautiful flag poses a threat to those that don’t value freedom and liberty.
God bless America and our military!

I’m a Vietnam veteran. I was injured while in Vietnam. After I got out of Walter Reed, I came home to Boston. I was parked at a light still in my uniform. A car full of hippies pulled up next to me and asked me if I had been in Vietnam. When I said yes, they threw a bag of dog crap threw my window and took off. I’m proud of these kids at LSU and what they did.
The Revv,
Thank you very much for your service. It is greatly appreciated by so many here.
Think I may just be rooting for LSU this season.
Damn proud of those kids…. now they should move on to ousting the Elitist “Intellectual” professors in their midst, who push this garbage.
I was going to post, even before I saw the Revv’s comment, that this libtard could have gotten away with this sort of planned stunt in Boston, and probably drawn several hundred supporters, but I couldn’t imagine this going down in Louisiana.
Also, if you want to be truly disgusted, check out one of the sites that has a picture of the guy.
Wow, that was nice. I used to be a “Bama” fan. I think I’ll switch my allegiance to LSU.
I was very worried about this country for a wile now…
But…
After seeing the youth of America take a stand I believe that all will be well…

-You should be on the look out for an ass kicking then. You and this entire thread mock the core values of the United States of America by wishing and threatening violence upon somebody exercising freedom of speech.
Ahhh, it warms the heart to hear the students at LSU telling this POS hippie to FUCK OFF! Keep your eyes peeled – the Odumbos will prolly invite it to the White House for some friggin’ Asstard Jam 2011.
@ Rupaula
Are you trying to censor US now?
How many BTU’s does a hippie give off anyway?
Could this be the “class warfare” that the left ordered up?
College kids, shouting USA and waving the flag. Wow, my eyes welled up. Maybe this generation will stomp out what their stupid hippy parents did.
It warms my heart to hear those kids cheer for the USA and stop this man and by the looks of him from the above link a man from burning our Flag.
Absolutely wonderful video update! Note how the crowd quieted down as they passed by the mounted horses, so they wouldn’t upset the animals unnecessarily. Well done.
Well done, indeed. God bless the USA!

“Are you trying to censor US now?”
-Nope, you are free to spew your hatred for the Constitution all over the internet. If you were standing right next to the kid and called for an “ass kicking” then you should be stopped from doing so because “fighting words” are not protected.
Personally, I think flag burning is pretty stupid. The rage it stirs in people is going to block out the hypocrisy of that rage that you are trying to highlight or any other point you are trying to make by burning a flag. However, it is freedom of speech and in the end it is just a piece of cloth.
The students reacted correctly, using more freedom of speech, not violence, is the best way to combat speech that you disagree with.

Guys, this Haas kid isn’t Jewish. I know, because I am, and respect & prayer for the land that hosts you is written in Jewish law. It’s a law, just like keeping Kosher and fasting on the day of atonement. There’s no way around it.
Now this turd may claim he’s not a practicing Jew, yet he’s still Jewish. That’s like saying “I’m a fitness buff, only I’m overweight because I never exercise.” You see, I’m really Ronnie Coleman, “in my heart.”
That’s almost as crazy as claiming President Obama is really a Reaganite Conservative “in his heart.”
He ain’t Jewish, period. He’s a Hippy turd.
An old friend of mine used to say: if it looks like sh*t and smells like sh*t, it’s definitely sh*t.
Now if you’ve seen a picture of this turd, you know he’s a piece of ….
Love the fact that the students showed up to stop the insanity!
Maybe there is hope for us yet !
Also, be honest, is burning the flag any more disgraceful or insulting than some drunken skank wearing a flag bikini? Nobody protests her.
It’s about time the silent majority of people (especially young people) start standing up to be heard. For too long the commies have taken over the airwaves and made everyone think they were in the majority – they are not and this was great to see. Near around 3:50 on the video – the cloud in the sky looked like Lincoln’s profile — Obama wanted to be like Lincoln, so he has set up fighting among Americans – and I bet he didn’t expect the Tea Party and now these young people to be so vocal – he misjudged. He will not be re-elected. Place your bets now.
Just watched this clip again. These kids make me proud! There’s hope after all!
Thank you Zip for posting this. You are my last vestige of true entertainment!
AWWW YEAH!!!
side note: Normally I ignore this troll. But this one time. FOAD, Rupaula!!!!
@Deez, your comment is so true, I went to liberal state college in NH from 1999-2004. College for me was an acedemic and geographic choice (not a political one). Once the wars started it was commonplace to find a group of filthy hippies burning or painting terrible slogans on flags in the Quad. I used to seethe with anger at what these Arthur Dimmsedale’s were doing, but i would have been the one getting chased and beaten had i said anything. I got goose bumps watching this video, so glad to know that the moonbattery still hasn’t ruined the entirety of the next generation. I wish i could have gone to a school like this, i probably would have had a lot more fun and been more active… Go Tigers!!
Not mentioning the ANTI-AMERICAN, WORTHLESS, UNGRATEFUL POS., sorry, Couldn’t help myself. I REALLY want to COMMEND THESE STUDENTS WHO CAME OUT TO SUPPORT OUR COUNTRY, our FLAG and all the men, women of the military in the wars who shed their blood and gave their lives for the rights and freedom of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. To deface a MEMORIAL OF OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS is sickening. Say what you want about rights to free speech and rights to expression but they have been abused far beyond whatever I thought I would see in my lifetime. Burn our Flag, you mean NOTHING to me. Burn our Flag, hate America, get the hell out. Millions of families have gone on with their lives without their loved ones – just so this idiot could use his RIGHT to free speech. To hell with him. He should be locked up and then deported to Cuba and see if he loves living there. Because of people just like him and his beloved Obama, America is turning into crap and loss of liberties. We just need to pray to God that Obama hasn’t made himself a dictator by 2012 and we will have an election and an election without the UNION THUGS and their fraud. This guy is a coward. What do ya suppose he’d do if he tried to burn a koran outside of a mosque? You wouldn’t see that because he’d be too afraid. What a damn jerk.
“is burning the flag any more disgraceful or insulting than some drunken skank wearing a flag bikini? Nobody protests her.”

Hell yes!
That’s a really bad analogy. That’s two things i love, together i one place.
I may demand that she take it off, but i’m willing to buy her dinner first.

Now they should BURN korans so the little libTARD moslim can cry!
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
i have a tingle in my leg…. i may tear up a bit too…

i owe each of ya's a beer.

uh oh.. hot chick envy.. that means you are a fat ass
You mean to tell me, that there are still College Students who still believe and have Pride for the USA ??
I thought they were all Brain-washed by the Liberal Colleges !
Oh Ru….
‘Also, be honest, is burning the flag any more disgraceful or insulting than some drunken skank wearing a flag bikini? Nobody protests her.’
Sounds like that was a very embarrassing situation you were in. Who talked you into wearing the bikini?
And it’s ok for the bikini as long as you don’t set her on fire.
@Doug Rose
“I thought they were all Brain-washed by the Liberal Colleges !”
Good parents don’t let their kids get brainwashed by liberal colleges.
I don’t Know Doug, my parents are raving liberals, they were genuinely angry with me for voting for bush in ’00′ and ’04 and against Dear Leader in ’08. I mean like, ‘didn’t speak to me for weeks’ angry.
Sorry that comment was meant @9-11 infidel, not Doug Rose.
What the hell is wrong with LSU to give permission to do this?
People still do not understand that the south will not go down the prog road to no where. I was not surprised by this in the least. And i agree with rupaula in that they did it the right way. Using the same rights granted to he flag burner to counter his statement. I do not agree with burning the flag….heck i go with the military treatment of the flag. You can not even let it touch the ground and it is to be shown respect. Not as a *flag* but as that it represents the ideals of this country. The flag is just a piece of cloth that has been dyed in a pattern for recagonition, but put it all together and it is our symbol of all that is right and good about us as a country and a people.
“You can’t run hippy!!!”
Love it
I know the boys at LSU and they would as soon have the football team use this dude for punting practice.
“so your response to violence is more violence!?” – Geoff
Yes.
Next question.
Geoff, recycle your bromides. You’re giving me an attack of alancolmesitus.
Does my heart good to see young college kids chanting USA and defending the flag. Maybe there is some hope after all.

My parents were conservative Dems. They got real pissed when I switched parties as did the rest of the extended family.
Then I found out that they voted for RR twice, Nixon once; many of them also eventually switched parties and none of them voted for the Bamster.
If the parents won’t raise their kids then someone else will. It will be a teacher, a friend, or a pastor, or a blatant libshit mistake that exposes them for what they are; that will counter the liberal/Prog meme.
Examples: Spencer in college, Breitbart during the Thomas hearings, Evan Sayet on 9-12 and you.
The most angry conservatives are always the former Democrats.
When they realize they’ve been lied to and taken advantage of, they become the loudest voices in the conservative crowds.
The big problem for Democrats is that everyone with a childhood is a ‘former liberal’. As they grow up and leave childish thinking behind (Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Social Justice, etc.) they begin to re-evaluate the meaning of all things. They stop basing their opinions on the opinions of others, and they start looking at the evidence themselves.
When fully conscious, peer pressure tactics fail to have any impact.

This update brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for sharing. I’m speechless:)
That’s what I’m talking about.
“There’s too many of us, go around the f@*#ing horses.” at 2:22, may go down in history along with “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!”
In the Philippines, they called it People Power.
We have plenty of people. Don’t let them “neuter” us, nor should we “self neuter”.
.
I’m so proud of those people. This gives me hope we haven’t totally lost the young people.
Truely encouraging to see our young people on campus confronting the lie.
@Rupaula
It isn’t the piece of cloth that we’re concerned with, it’s what it represents .. to burn the American flag is to say “screw you” to the very hearts and souls of Americans. It is a purposeful affront .. it isn’t just an expression of freedoml, it is an expression of disrespect .. making one the enemy of all that America represents..
Shame on anyone who does this, they rightly invoke the wrath of those they disrespect.
go to hell hippy, go to hell!
LMAO
The worm has turned.
All the LSU Students should have come armed to the teeth with Super Soakers to douse his fire as he tried to light his flag! That would have made him look like the blithering idiot he really is!!! I’d have paid good money to see him doused by hundreds of streams of water!!!
