Harkening back to Marquette University's nickname of years past, a group of Republican students has launched a publication called The Warrior as a voice of conservatives on what its backers call a campus dominated by liberals.
After the publication debuted Wednesday, its business manager, senior Brandon Henak, woke up Friday to find eggs and ketchup plastered on the front of his house and derogatory signs taped to his windows, including one with the name The Warrior crossed out.
``I can't believe it,'' said Henak. ``We're just trying to give a voice to everyone, and then my house gets egged. People are violently opposed to free speech.''
Ryan Alexander, a leader of the College Democrats, said his group did not have anything to do with the vandalism, although he said the launch of the publication ``increased tension'' between Democrats and Republicans at the Jesuit university.
Mark McCarthy, dean of student development at Marquette, said his office would review the incident after getting a report from public safety officers.
No one has been arrested, but his could be material for a possible sequel to Michelle Malkin's latest book, Unhinged.
UPDATE 9:30 PM: I managed to find Brandon Henak's Republican blog.
