University apologizes ‘with heavy hearts and great embarrassment’ for Hitler Valentine’s Day card

"My love 4 u burns like 6,000 jews,” read the card handed to two students by a member of the College Republicans group at Central Michigan University.

Central Michigan University school leaders said Friday that the person responsible for an anti-Semitic Valentine’s Day card that was produced during a campus Republican group meeting was not a student but “readily admitted her role.”

The card was in a bag that was handed to some students Wednesday night by a member of the College Republicans, which immediately apologized while distancing itself from the incident. The card, which the group called “very inappropriate,” shows Adolf Hitler alongside the words “my love 4 u burns like 6,000 jews,” according to Central Michigan Life, a student newspaper.

(An estimated 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.)

There was a time not very long ago when this card would have been torn up and thrown away by the recipient instead of becoming national news.

6:45 that allows people to continue to think they can engage in behaviors like this without consequence. It's a shame but some people need to be taught this is not okay.

Probably a mean prank by a College Dem.

A card created by "not a student" who showed up at a College Republican meeting and placed in a bag given out by College Republicans screams of set-up to me.

Sounds like the same setup that occurred at SU here

Exactly right. A set-up. A fake. A false-flag attack.

But the College Republicans handled it wrong, and the leftist media (this is a WaPo story) have seized on it and spun it to hang it around their necks.

They should have said-- "This was not our doing. It was NOT one of our people and had nothing to do with us." Period.

Why do I think Democrats are behind this?

That's what I said. Shame on the newspaper for not indicating that.

What better way to try to discredit Republicans than for a Liberal Democrat to join and pretend to be one. Then hand out anti-Semitic Jewish hate cards? This was and is the work of Democrats with an already beforehand news stories for liberal media and their gullible readers. Don't believe everything you read. Pretend Fake people and other Liars are a dime a dozen in this Liberal Democrat country. Democrats are proven Liars i.e. Hil-Liar-E
