Is anyone else sick to hell of Democrats crowing "free speech" then turning around and pushing the exact opposite? The last I checked, universities were some of the least hospitable places in the country for freedom of speech.

I wonder if Mr. McSwane has ever needed police protection, been physically assaulted by students or the target of a professor's personal hatred. Probably not.

@Liberals_lo ... : Do some actual research on the subject, rather than skimming over two links and Wolf Blitzer's CNN-aired take on the issue.

@Umbrella_ ... : I wish I were confusing CU and CSU, but unfortunately this phenomenon happens at many more universities. Its not just limited to recent weeks, like with Ahmadinejad's speaking at Columbia in the name of "free speech" and the previous attack upon Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist by raving lunatic students either.

What we've got, is wholesale hypocrisy and indoctrination.

@umbrella again: Oh.. now I see what you meant. My bad. I did mean CSU.

Answer 1

I'll tell you what I'm personally sick of, and that's the premise of "Free Speech" being used to promote a dangerous "anything goes" agenda.
The short, four word "editorial" placed by this air head has no place in any American publication. There are an infinite number of civilized and decent ways to editorialize ones opinion of President Bush - and this gutter trash talk isn't one of them.
I hope this is an exception and not an example of our future generation. It is not a partisan issue - it is an issue of decency and common respect for the office of the president, irregardless of this jerk's total lack of editorial finesse and apparent lack of a grade school vocabulary to express his views.

Answer 2

Your question is so eloquently stated! However, you know as well as I do, many issues are "inherited" from administration to administration. Many also use the prior administration as a "measuring stick" to the current one. Is this unreasonable? I think not. The next will do the same. You also have an uncanny love for Clinton from the left (possibly due to the fact that he has been the only democratic President in the last 27 years) and the pure hatred for the current President from day one of his administration. The attacks have been relentless and in many cases have reached all time new lows. This administration has also seen MANY huge events within this time period that are massive when compared to other Presidential terms. So naturally, you will get the comparisons from both sides. Sometimes uncalled for but many times very appropriate. I would hope the next President uses the Bush Administration to become better. We are in VERY different times right now. Many don't understand how things have changed with this new world enemy. Finally, I don't blindly love everything Bush has done. Quite frankly there are things to be very dissapointed in. However, all in all, with the circumstances handed to the man, with the unrelenting pressure he faces by his own countrymen, more so than any other President.... I believe he has done a fair job in many areas, and excelent job in some and unfortunately a poor job in others. Then again, I am capable of looking at someone for their actual actions on an individual basis. I try not to just blindly bash or support anyone on all levels due to their stance on one. Yes, there were even a few things Clinton did that I liked. I did however always support, pray and show respect for Clinton when he was in office. We should do this with EVERY President.

Answer 3

You guys are confusing CU and CSU.

CU: Boulder, very liberal, rich people and a vast multitude of pot smoking hippies, ward churchill thing

CSU: Fort Collins, mostly conservative (has some liberal students), F**K Bush newspaper thing

Answer 4

Look, all you have to do is look at the Fairness Doctrine to see what the Liberal Left morons think of the First Amendment.
All you have to do is look at their stance on Gun Control to see what they think of the Second Amendment.
Liberals are deranged, period. Bush is just their current target.

Answer 5

75% of the American people say they want to win the war.

Answer 9
