Send Yale A Message; Send Them The Finger
Michelle Malkin is sending Yale the finger! You can too by joining this protest.
Since the New York Times and Wall Street Journal broke the news about the admission of Taliban official Sayeed Rahmatullah Hashemi to a special student program at Yale, we’ve received numerous emails from outraged Yale Alumni. One email stood out from the rest ” “I won’t give Yale one red cent this year, but maybe I will give them a red fingernail instead!”
She was referring to the Taliban’s policy of pulling the fingernails off of Afghani women who dared to wear fingernail polish. Some of these women even had their thumbs sliced off as punishment. To date, Mr. Rahmatullah has not apologized or taken responsibility for his support of this brutal regime, though he told the Times he wished he’d been “a little bit softer” in his advocacy.
If you’d like to show your outrage at Yale’s decision to admit the Taliban’s spokeman, join us in “giving Yale the finger.” It would be disgusting– not to mention really painful ” to mail your own fingernails, but you can buy glamorous, decadent, shameless-hussy-scarlet press-on nails (ask for “nail tips”) from any drug store or beauty shop. They’re cheap; a box costs about $5.00. (Caution to Harvard-educated readers: do not eat the press-on nails. Sure, they look tasty, but they will make you sick.)
Send them to Yale’s Office of Development, along with a polite (or not-so-polite) letter explaining what you think of their decision to admit Rahmatullah:
Yale University
Office of Development
P.O. Box 2038
New Haven, CT 06521-2038What’s more, you can also send a nice red fake nail or ten to Yale’s President, Richard Levin, at:
President Richard C. Levin
Woodbridge Hall
Yale University
New Haven Connecticut 06520If you do have some connection with Yale, please tell them so in your letter and explain that you are withholding your donations until they end the disgrace of allowing America’s unrepentant enemy an opportunity which thousands of smart, deserving kids in Afghanistan, America or anywhere, who have been studying diligently instead of shilling for a brutal regime of retrograde, misogynist, terrorist-abetting, drug-running, Buddha-blasting, gay-murdering, freedom-hating tyrants, never received.
Feel free to point out the hyprocrisy of Yale’s decision to admit Sayeed Rahmatullah Hashemi, who supported a regime that killed homosexuals, stoned women, tortured/killed many, and destroyed Buddhas, even though Yale keeps ROTC off campus and files briefs with the Supreme Court protesting the military’s right to recruit on campus.
Most importantly, send your money somewhere else. While Yale made a choice to embrace an unapologetic supporter of a regime which oppressed women and sheltered Osama bin Laden, we prefer to aid organizations that support the troops who defeated that barbarous regime. Here are some of our favorites:
Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund: provides college grants and financial assistance to surviving children and spouses of U.S. military service members who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Operation Hero Miles: allows you to donate your unused airline miles so troops/family members can fly for free.
Valour-it: provides wounded soldiers with voice-activated laptops while they are hospitalized.
The Fisher House: a home for the families of seriously ill or injured soldiers receiving treatment .
Or for those of you of a feminist inclination, consider the Fern L. Holland Charitable Trust.
Whatever you do, let us hear about it here . We’ll try to collect the best responses for a future column.In the long term, all college alumni need to think carefully about the board of trustees at their college and the values they espouse. Are they likely to recruit a Taliban leader while treating ROTC cadets like second class citizens? With the backlash the decision to bring Mr. Rahmatullah to campus is producing, Yale’s board is ripe for a change. Let’s hope such a change occurs before they rewrite the old Yale songs for good.
A note to liberal readers: participation in this campaign does not make you a Republican. This isn’t a referendum on the war or an endorsement of George Bush. It ought not to be a partisan issue. This is a condemnation of the barbaric Taliban and of Yale’s hearty welcome for their evangelist. So join us in “nailing Yale,” and let’s make Mr. Rahmatullah feel as welcome at Yale as a Jewish transvestite lingerie salesman would feel in the Taliban-era Kandahar that Sayeed Rahmatullah Hashemi’s so gosh-darn proud of.
I guess that would explain why Michelle is sending a box of these!

Screw going after Yale. Nail the State Dept POS who approved the VISA. Revoke the Visa and put his ass on the next military C-130 back to Kabul. Preferably with a Special Forces A-team or two going in to pull a tour chasing Taliban through the mountains into Pakistan. I’m sure they’d love the company. He would have such an enjoyable flight with his backside parked in the cargo net seats alongside an armed to the teeth Special Forces operator preparing to chase down and shoot his Taliban Compadres. The SF guys can be scary when they aren’t trying and if they knew who this guy was in advance, they’d be trying.
As for the State Dept Puke, I think a posting to outer Mongolia, Tanganyika, or any country with an Islamic terrorist problem for the remainder of his career is in order. I wouldn’t say that we should hang him out to dry but putting him in a place where he could see the actions of the kind of people he’s letting into this country might open his liberal eyes to the real world.

[...] This is a follow up to this post. John Fund, of The Wall Street Journal has a very interesting followup. Yale will not comment openly about the admission of Taliban official Sayeed Rahmatullah Hashemi to a special student program at Yale, citing citing student privacy issues. But unofficially, some Yale administrators are privately trashing critics. One even anonymously sent scathing emails to two critics calling them “retarded” and “disgusting.” That official–Alexis Surovov, assistant director of giving at Yale Law School–did talk to John Fund, of WSJ. Last Wednesday, Mr. Surovov sent an angry email from a Columbia University account to Clinton Taylor and Debbie Bookstaber, the 2 Yale alumi, leading the “Give Yale The Finger” protest! [...]
