GOP lawmaker rips UW event as ‘hate-fest’

A Republican lawmaker is ripping the University of Wisconsin-Madison for its plans to bring two high-profile anti-war speakers to campus.

The UW will host actress and activist Jane Fonda and British Parliament member George Galloway at the Wisconsin Union Theater on Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. Fonda is expected to give a 20-minute introduction and speak out against the U.S. occupation of Iraq. She was a prominent anti-war activist during the Vietnam years.
