A well-known female liberal blogger and radio host at the University of Wyoming (UW) is being accused by police of fabricating a rape threat against herself to appear as if it came from a conservative. The obscene message directed at activist Meg Lanker-Simons was posted on a college “crush” Facebook page earlier this week and immediately ignited outrage from the college community... According to a Facebook page that apparently belongs to Lanker-Simons she is a member of the University of Wyoming Gender & Women's Studies group as well as the school’s chapter of The Nonviolent Communist.

University President Robert Jones released a statement after the incident, saying there is no place for hate at the school. "I call upon all members of the University at Albany to unite," he wrote. "We must show the world that we stand for inclusiveness and stand against bias, violence and hatred."
