Republican candidate's kids kicked out of Oregon college as Payback for Campaign
A staunch Ron Paulist backed by Libertarian Party in 2010 ElectionFrom Eric Dondero:
Art Robinson was a Ron Paul-style Constitutionalist candidate for US Congress in Oregon in 2010. He opposed longtime incumbent Democrat Rep. Peter DeFazio. In an ultra-liberal district he posted a respectable showing of nearly 44%. He has announced a re-match for 2012.
Now this announcement from Robinson, published at Gateway Pundit (via WND) "Leftists Move to Have Prominent Republican’s Children Expelled From State University":
Robinson goes on to give specifics of how his children were kicked out of the graduate school program.In an effort to do my part in rescuing our country from the out-of-control Obama administration, last year I ran for Congress in Oregon’s 4th District against 12-term incumbent, far-left Democrat Peter DeFazio, co-founder of the House Progressive Caucus.
Although I won the nominations of the Republican, Independent and Constitution Parties and the endorsement of the Libertarian Party, a massive media smear campaign by DeFazio, paid for with money raised by MoveOn.org and from special interests favored by DeFazio in Washington, resulted in a 54.5 percent to 43.6 percent victory for DeFazio in a race that was expected to be much closer.
Although I had never run for public office before, I immediately announced my candidacy for Congress again in 2012.
However, when you take a stand for what’s right, sometimes there is retribution.
On Nov. 4, 2010, as soon as the election results were in and they were sure their candidate had won, faculty administrators at Oregon State University gave new meaning to the term “political payback.”
They initiated an attack on my three children – Joshua, Bethany and Matthew – for the purpose of throwing them all out of the OSU graduate school, despite their outstanding academic and research accomplishments. OSU is a liberal socialist Democrat stronghold in Oregon that received a reported $27 million in earmark funding from my opponent, Peter DeFazio, and his Democrat colleagues during the last legislative session.
