Members of the Yale College Republicans hosted a barbecue Friday right next to where members of the Local 33 graduate student union participated in a hunger strike, the New Haven Register reports.

The College Republicans served a meal of barbecued beef, baked beans and corn to those on the plaza, just a few feet from the tent Local 33 had erected to house hunger strikers protesting the school’s decision not to negotiate a contract.

What a hoot!

Get your meal at the GOP tent, walk over to the hunger strikers, show full plate, them flip them the bird.

Even better, just sit the nice hot plate of food on the table and let 'em smell it, and walk away flipping the bird.

That's the way to respond to this kind of crap. No need to be offensive, no need to use bad language or violence.

Y'all do know that this was just a "symbolic" hunger strike, right?  They said that they'd only be on the hunger strike till they got hungry, then they'd go eat something.  (It seems that they're unclear on the concept of "hunger strike.")

Reminds me of when the progressive groups that hold those “sleep out” for the homeless nights..... but move inside when it rains.

They get a stipend of $30,000 a year, free medical care and their tuition ($40,000) paid.   Its a pretty good deal for a graduate student looking to polish their resume and get their doctorate.  I don't know why they are complaining.
