Am I the only one cynical enough to think most of that time was spent debating how big they could make the font?

He doesn’t care about free speech, just self-aggrandizement. Probably was envious of all the attention the UF kid received.

Indeed!

And at CSU? Don’t they know that CU in Boulder is where the majority of liberals go? Considering most top colleges Colorado State is pretty conservative, and the editorial staff had to know this would cause a stir. Unfortunatley, they didn’t get the sympathy they thought they would get.

If they wanted to make a point about free speech, it should’ve said ‘F-CLINTON’ or ‘F-KERRY’ and then they could’ve dared the masses to say something about it.

2) Do what Robert Heinlein wrote about in Starship Troopers. The only people allowed to vote are those who served in the military.

Only veterans could vote? I don’t know if that would lead to good government, but the millions of lefty heads exploding would be cool.

Exactly

Good luck establishing an oligarchical military dictatorship. Be sure to let me know who that works out for you.

“[W]e have found the unintended consequences of such a bold statement to be extremely disheartening.”

Consequences are a bitch, bro.

Welcome to AdultLand.

That’s a lesson not often taught in what passes for higher education these days.

Looks like the dimbulb learned a lesson about capitalism the hard way. Unless turns out that President Bush or Karl Rove were behind the advertisers ad pull. Then the next editorial will be “No, Really. Fu*k Bush.”

Yup, I was thinking the same thing, and the loony left keeps forgetting we don’t live in a socialist country yet… Capitalism rules!!!

In this case, you can be pretty sure that the value of “any and all” is exactly zero. Cause and effect has been dropped from the curriculum because there is only one cause behind everything. Read the headline again to see who it is.

As for the draft, please think of the safety of the brave men and women who actually want to serve their country and do not make them rely on an idiot like this “editor” as a teammate.

Is his name fart collins?

1 Corinthians 10:23-24

Freedom of speech is a double edged sword that can lead to ones own destruction if used incorrectly.

We have a great military now with people who believe in their mission. (Thank you for your service.)

Must not be much of a college if a vulgar curse word is the best way these students can find to express themselves. Maybe they ought to require English Vocabulary 101 for their left of center students.

So a leftist student on a leftist campus freaks out in a talk with a leftist politician and the security of the leftist campus administration shuts him down… no republican was involved anywhere in the process at all…

And this paper’s response is F* Bush?

This must be something only super intelligent leftists can understand, my weak conservative brain can’t make sense of it.

My thoughts, too. Was this supposed to be “blame Bush” satire or is this that “cognitive dissonance” I always hear those lefties talkin’ about?

Moreover, now that the kid’s gonna lose his job he says he wouldn’t do this again. I say: When you’re only willing to exercise controversial free speech if you know what will happen as a result of it — that you won’t have to pay a personal price — you’re engaging in child’s play. What this boy could use is a genuine education. I guess he’s getting one now.

As F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote: “Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes…” This kid thought he was playing in the wet marshes, but found his youthful exuberance slammed against the hard rocks. Hope he learns from it.
