Having failed to make their intended satire clear to the George Washington University campus, seven students felt the need to come forward late last night to take responsibility for those “anti-Muslim” posters we told you about yesterday.

The Hatchet published parts of the letter after receiving it last night. Among the seven students who admitted their involvement was ubiquitous IVAW poster boy and current GWU graduate student Adam Kokesh.

“It is to our great dismay that the student body and the media missed the clear, if subtle, message of our flier: the hyperbolic nature of the flier was aimed at exposing Islamophobic racism,” the e-mail said.

Nothing like having to explain, in detail, why your joke was funny to make it clear you have no future in comedy.

And nothing like having someone famous for getting arrested while protesting with the ANSWER Coalition to make the conservative blogosphere start foaming at the mouth. The Young America’s Foundation, the intended targets of the posters and hosts of the real, upcoming “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week,” put up a statement on their web site accusing “Leftist administrators” at the school of going on a “rampage” to crack down unfairly on the group. Mike Licht has a fast-on-the-draw summary of all the events leading up to this morning, pointing out that “YAF has a $20 Million annual budget, a director who earns $360,000 a year, buildings in Herndon and California and big-time media and donor backing.”
