Miss Piggy who tweeted anti-Bush bull applauded at arts festival

Randa "Miss Piggy" Jarrar, the Fresno State racist, anti-Semite, anti-white woman, antidisestablishmentarianism, 'professor' of English, who tweeted out against Barbara Bush, was hailed by a local literary community on Saturday and civil rights groups.

The porcine prof sparked outrage after she called the former First Lady "an amazing racist" just hours after she died and said she is happy "the witch is dead."

The proptosis-gifted slob [I can say that--freedom of speech and all that] has since left the country and is on leave this semester.

Jarrar was born in Chicago to a Greek-Egyptian mother and Palestinian father. She grew up in Kuwait and Egypt and returned to the US after the Gulf War in 1991. She studied creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College and received an MA in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Michigan.

The adipose Jarrar wrote an opinion piece in 2014 called "Why I Can't Stand White Belly-Dancers" that was published in Salon. She said that white women who bellydance are engaging in cultural appropriation and "brown face".

A UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh criticized Jarrar saying, "Maybe telling people that they can't work in some field because they have the wrong color or ancestry would be . . . rats, I don't know what to call it. If only there were an adjective that could be used to mean 'telling people that they mustn't do something, because of their race or ethnic origin'".

Evidently, Jarrar sees everything in terms of identity: color, race, religion and gender.

In spite of Jarrar being condemned for her anti-Bush remarks, there are always enough haters around to praise such bile. A local Fresno literary festival applauded her each time they heard the mention of her name.

The bug-eyed beauty was to headline LitHop, a day-long literary festival with an audience of about a hundred. She withdrew just days before the event because she is obviously afraid to face her detractors.

"Oooh, I'm having the vapors!"

"I support Randa Jarrar's free speech and I also denounce any violence against her or threats of violence against anyone else," said LitHop founder Lee Herrick.

Of course Jarrar has the right to free speech and nobody has the right to assault her for it, but that doesn't mean she is immune to harsh criticism from those of us who oppose hateful remarks. In fact, it tends to be those on the left who want to prevent conservatives from expressing their opinions. 

I wonder what Herrick would say and do if, for example, Ben Shapiro was scheduled to speak on campus.

I wonder what anyone at the festival thinks about free speech by those on the right. Their record of shouting down conservative speakers leads me to believe that it's only one-sided.
