So much for personal responsibility - College Republicans refuse to pay bill for security
for an event that featured David Horowitz.

"Although UW-Madison officials say the College Republicans owe $1,300 for added security at David Horowitz’s speech this semester, the group said it will not pay, and some allege political targeting.

“We did not ask for extra security and we are not paying $1,300,” said Sara Mikolajczak, UW-Madison College Republican chair.

The College Republicans received a bill for $1,300 in security fees last month for conservative commentator David Horowitz’s Oct. 22 speech. The event drew in a packed Memorial Union Theater and required additional University of Wisconsin police staffing.

At Horowitz’s speech, there was politically charged debate, but the event ended peacefully and the extra security only served as precaution."

1. Why should they have to pay for something like this?
Has the University no sense of the entitlements granted by Republicanism?

6. I bet if the University had not provided EXTRA protection
they would have ranted and raved that they were being discriminated against.
