Peace loving liberal students attacked Presidential advisor Karl Rove at the American University where he was visiting to speak to campus Republicans. So much for freedom of speech. Well, you have freedom of speech as long as you agree with the left. …

maniac out to destroy over 200 years of American sacrifice and heroism.

By their indignation, you’d think that they made any sacrifices for this great nation.

Witness report; Diggers call students “heroic”

When I read that I was like, “The Aussies said what?”

- The Cat

P.S. Now if we were like the Kossaks there would be several posts compaining that something like Kent State didn’t happen again. Of Course with that it was the kids that weren’t protesting that were the ones that were shot; but that’s an etirerly different conspiracy theory on who was really doing the shooting.

Don’t the police have tear gas? Hose those lefties down with pepper spray, I say. I’d pay to watch that. I’d pay more to pepper spray them myself.

I was there, and while this story seems to get across the general details, there are a few problems. First off, saying ‘more than a dozen’ is a bit of an understatement. There were at least 75 – 100 students present protesting, and at least 20 directly participating in lying down in fron of his car. Secondly the ‘pelting’ that was referred to was one single student throwing a cell phone at Rove’s car as it pulled away.

The brownshirt party wears their fascism with pride, don’tchaknow.

It is absolutely ludicrous that a story like this can be placed next to a picture of my friend being taken down by a Secret Service agent and then accuse him of acting unlawfully. It is absolutely ludicrous.

There was a diary earlier today about why the protesters were wrong to do what they did, written under the assumption that they actually threw things at Rove. I wholeheartedly agree; it would have been completely wrong to have thrown anything at Rove, or anyone for that matter. That is why none of the protesters did.

I could not agree more. Just look at Dianne Feinstein and compare it to Duke Cunningham.

He was the recipient of about 2 million dollars in kick backs for Government contracts and was prosecuted.

He is currently in prison.

Diane Feinstein has been the recipient of 3 Billion with a “B” of kick backs and contracts with the the Government and the MSM could care less. She is currently still in the Senate scheming and extorting money from no bid Government contracts.

The MSM media has blamed the Veterans health care system on GWB but it is Dianne Feinstein and her husband that are responsible for those medical contracts that resulted in the Walter Reed scandal.

3 Billion and counting, yet no one has suggested she be investigated and prosecuted for her crimes.

She is a liberal after all and immune from the criminal justice system just like the Freezer Bandit, William J. Jefferson.

Guess what, lefties: that’s a failed protest strategy as it give the impression that all left wing ideology is repressive and unconstitutional in its very nature and that the left would resort to forced obedience to their ideology by any means. That’s called totalitarianism and most reasonable people avoid that kind of government as much as possible. You would think that the left would figure this out, but I guess they’re not as smart as they like to believe.

Sounds like they were terrorists to me.

Let’s send ‘em to Gitmo.

0h wait-

Why doesn’t it end? Because they aren’t held responsible for the consequences of their actions.

Yes, they’re thugs, and the college admins give in.

Yes, they’re censors, and the ACLU ignores it.

Yes, they commit crimes, and the police let them get away with it.

Yes, they lie, and the press helps them.

Do conservatives riot and tear down shops during protests?

Do conservatives clog campuses and demand that liberals not be allowed to speak?

Do conservatives assault liberal politicians and expect to walk away?

We know which side is populated by thugs and cowards. Show me a liberal who is ashamed of these behaviors and I’ll show you an outcast from the “progressive” movement.

But once again, their thuggery has been rewarded. And thuggery rewarded is thuggery repeated.

If you want to accept bribes, funnel government money to your spouse, riot and wreck property and assault people with impunity, all you have to do is register Democrat. It helps if you spout progressive dogma, but it appears to be optional.

out to destroy over 200 years of American sacrifice and heroism

What is their point? Or context? Do they or anyone else think any kind of liberal socialist agenda existed two hundred years ago?
Not to mention any kind of sacrifice or heroism associated with much of anything other than the guarantee of a Republican form of government.

It’s enough to bring a tear to the eyes of progressives across the nation. From NBC:White House Advisor Karl Rove was the target of a protest on the American University campus Tuesday night. …Rove was on the campus to talk…

I know you get a little confused about censorship. Or “censureship” as Honora calls it. Some of you seem to think that voicing opinions about other people’s opinions is censorship. (Sorry, honora. Censureship.)

Well, no. What you’re looking for is this. Now this is some censor/censureship. This is what silencing someone actually looks like.

There you go, liberals. Just trying to be helpful.

He said it wasn’t really advertised because they didn’t want problems (i.e., dumb liberal college students doing exactly the kind of stuff they did).

Typical college dodge. Advertize 24/7 in all venues for hard Left speakers, and nothing for conservative speakers so the audience is thin because no one knew. The security thing is pathetic. If it was the KKK speaking, the universities would revel in the attention and bru-ha-ha generated by the controversy. This passive agressive attitude towards conservatives is not innocent on the part of US “higher education.”

After all these years, I can’t believe you have left this behind…….

I believe the same thing happened to a man in Chicago for heckling President Clinton. If I was Rove or any other member of this administration I would insist on adequate security. Rove had a busload of protestors show up at his home. Throw the book at these clowns and the protests would dry up. Clinton knew what he was doing.

You can take this incident as a metaphor for what is going on in Iraq. Treating your enemy with kid gloves does not win you points with them, it encourages them. The RoE with punks like this should be to charge them with the most serious charges and force them to spend time and money defending themselves. Throwing unknown objects is attempted assault.
