Don't challenge the worldview of a precious college student!

*tear* My first greenlight. They grow up so fast.

I think it's a bit absurd, the protests. But God knows I couldn't stand hearing Karl Rove speak for very long without throwing up.

Don't want Karl Rove turning anyone to the dark side.

clancifer: Don't challenge the worldview of a precious college student!

Read the article again. Choate is not a college. And the students were the ones who did not want Rove there, not the faculty. They made this decision on their own.

Liberal students reaction to a terrorist leader coming to speak "Woohoo, yay, let him speak"... But Rove? "Boo, hiss, shut him up."

randomjsa: But Rove? "Boo, hiss, shut him up."

If you actually read the article, it doesn't seem like that's what they did. They invited him to speak at a different time so that any protests wouldn't coincide with the graduation. Seems like a good compromise.

So far it's clear that the two simpletons playing the role of "Rove Defender" in this thread haven't read TFA.

Deliberate ignorance even when the facts are in front of you in black and white + defenders of Rove + obsessive haters of "liberals"? Anyone else not surprised to see those three stuck together like old friends?

I go to Choate, and I will tell you this. There were supporters, mainly the starting line of the lacrosse team. Huh, I always wondered what all those concussions actually did.

Oh, good! I can get insurance there when I'm out of work. That's good ... oh. Not ... that COBRA.

The president of Iran? didn't speak at a commencement. Rove found out, he couldn't either.

As a Connecticut resident (the redneck/casino/navy part, not the hifalutin' part) I'm very pleased with these rich little bastards' decision to protest this douche, Karl Rove.

We have had our share of Republican assholes and we are sick of them. Let's see, our former Governor John G. Rowland resigned after he was impeached and spent 10 months in federal prison, Republican former Waterbury Mayor Phil Giordano is in PMITA prison for giving a little girl a meat Popsicle after forcing her crackhead hooker mom to pimp her out, Republican former Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim went to jail for corruption, oh and Republican former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons used to beat the crap out of Vietnamese prisoners during the Vietnam War.

Did I forget anything?

Well, I know I'D skip my own Commencement if Rove was there.

She has a summer home in Old Saybrook, I hear.

I WAS looking at that Ultimate Axis pic, wondering if there was a third faction there..

"Uncle" Phil Giordano

Connecticut is full of "teh win". Ever heard of the state's Three and a half century-old elected high sheriff system that was replaced by a judicial marshal system? It was a load of trumped-up charges led by Rowland so that he could have control over the hiring of court security and process servers. Following a referendum that approved the switch, Windham County High Sheriff Tom White was cleared of numerous corruption charges that PROSECUTORS found to be groundless.

That picture is so ridiculously full of win that I am nearly speechless. That is up there with the Star Wars demotivational poster (the one that is captioned something like, "No matter what you do in life, you will never be this awesome").

I have to ask, is there a good-guy equivalent?

Oh did anyone know that putting a picture of former Gov. John G. Rowland into a face-recognition site will yield Steven Segal as a high-percentage match?

My illustrious mayor John Miron? I guarantee you, he is next. First mayor in nearly four hundred years, and already people are talking about doing away with the position of mayor.

Karl Rove and the rest of the current/recently resigned admin should be hung in front of the white house. Even that would not make up for the damage that did to the entire world in the past 7-8 years.
 
2008-01-28 11:24:37 PM
For no real reason, I'd like to point out that Choate is located about 15-20 miles from where Bush was born, and part of the same New England Prep School tradition that produced him.

And of course, only a liberal idiot would make the corrolation that his speech was canceled because of some tarnished reputation.

For your information, Rove has successfully pulled Presidents together out of nothing, like a team of horses.

But, thanks to the liberal-dominated media, America often hears a completely fabricated version, to the point where it really makes me wonder how much "free speech" we supposedly have in this country when thought is basically put to a "yea nay" test by the politically correct who happen to think they own the American media.
 
2008-01-29 04:06:58 AM
I really gotta question the judgement of ANYBODY that would invite Karl Rove to speak, or even attend. There is just no excuse.
