So Dan Rather is working at a student newspaper in Colorado now?

The newspaper’s editor-in-chief wrote a letter to readers to explain that “our intentions were not malicious.”

No, not malicious at all. What we meant, you see, is that we would like to engage in sexual intercourse with George W. Bush.

Could there be any other interpretation?

They can't control the students, but they can control who comes to talk on their campuses...like Colombia.

Yeah, they can't control it, or...they are too scared of the students acting like they did when they were young and radical and burnt down buildings....ah, could it be fear that motivates them to paralysis?

TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran on Saturday showed off a longer-range missile in public for the first time and proclaimed a string of anti-Israel slogans, in a military parade held amid warnings of conflict with the West. The missile -- labelled Ghadr-1 (Power) -- was said to be in development by Western experts, but its appearance at the annual military parade to mark the start of Iran's 1980-1988 war with Iraq was its first public showing.

The official announcer at the parade told reporters that the weapon had a range of 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles), sufficient to put US bases in the Middle East and Iran's arch enemy Israel within reach.

"The Iranian nation is ready to bring any oppressive power to its knees," read a slogan from supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei inscribed on a massive board on a truck

How much harder could it be to follow every rule in the Bible? Much, much harder, he soon discovered, as he found himself growing his beard, struggling not to curse and asking strangers for permission to stone them for adultery. Jacobs spent the year carrying around a stapled list of the more than 700 rules and prohibitions identified in the Good Book, and also consulted with religious leaders and spent time with the Amish, Hassidic Jews and Jehovah’s Witnesses. He spoke to NEWSWEEK’s Jennie Yabroff about his experience and his new book, “The Year of Living Biblically” (Simon & Schuster), which goes on sale Oct. 9.

The thing with that whole 'don't tase me bro' incident is this: While I can't speak for laws outside of Texas, I'll assume for the sake of discussion that they are similar elsewhere. The law is, and always has been, that when a peace officer gives you a directive, you are required by law to follow it. If you don't, they are allowed to use minimal force to get you to comply. If you then resist, it is called resisting arrest. That's what these empty heads on the left don't seem to get. He wasn't tased for free speech, but for violently resisting arrest.

re: #65 savage_nation

To be fair to Kerry, didn't he tell the cops to let the guy speak before he got 5000 volts up his ass?

I agree. Still, the guy was resisting arrest, fighting arrest while he told the cops to let him go. I'm sorry, but the day we all get to tell the cops what to do is the day calling them to help in dire situations will have no meaning.

College campuses are populated by the children that we love being brainwashed by tenured cretins, who will slaughter the truth for their political agenda.
Case in point, many of the kids at the University of Illinois are now hearing jerseys supporting the "Jena Six"
I asked why and I was informed that the six youts only beat up the kid who hung nooses from the tree.If you think that they got that from the profs you would be right.
I pointed out thet the victim had nothing to do with the nooses.
It happened six months later!. The response was, huh ?
I also said that the kids who did the nooses should have been severely dealt with at the time, but these were just six punks picking on one guy.

If that student editorial board is going to go out on that limb, it should at least have the guts to stay there, even when they hear the sound of a wood saw.

As any politically correct person knows, speech has consequences - right?

Ever since the old cartoons were taken off the air, kids got funny.

Imagine if they had printed a slight against the holiest of college campus holies...

That would insult every protected group under the sun in one big fell swoop...and imagine just how long (as others have pointed out) it would have lasted.

The administration would have brought them up on all kinds of charges, they would have been threatened with lawsuits from "insulted" students and parents, they would probably be kicked out of school, and every single media darling in the US would be crying for their blood. Jesse and Al would be inbound to spew their shit cannons and grasp for their lost glory days...

It'd be a giant mess.

Printing F*CK Bush isn't brave. It's one of the safest things you can do in this country. Saying F*CK Liberals, or illegals, or affirmative action, or abortion, or Islam (especially Islam)...now THAT is bravery.

I really don't understand the visceral hatred for Bush. Especially among college students who were what, TWELVE FUCKING YEARS OLD WHEN HE WON THE 2000 ELECTION?

I realize that college students think they know everything. I was the same way. I voted for Clinton in '92--but I didn't hate the first George Bush. I may have been misguided in thinking that the Democrats would, you know, somehow make my life better--but I didn't vote for Clinton because I hated his opponent.

I just moved to Seattle and I have not lived in a place so thoroughly choked to the gills with stupid fucking leftists since I was at the UW-Madison. Seriously. Every other fucking Suburu Outback has an anti-Bush sticker on it. My favorite yesterday was "Bush is a punk ass chump". Real eloquent.

Punk ass chump or not, Bush is the CEO of the US of Fucking A. He has attained a level of success that your run-of-the-mill barista, software designer or Port of Seattle worker will never achieve. It must bum them out.

re: #134 savage_nation

re: #131 j-damn

I really don't understand the visceral hatred for Bush. Especially among college students who were what, TWELVE FUCKING YEARS OLD WHEN HE WON THE 2000 ELECTION?

I realize that college students think they know everything. I was the same way. I voted for Clinton in '92--but I didn't hate the first George Bush. I may have been misguided in thinking that the Democrats would, you know, somehow make my life better--but I didn't vote for Clinton because I hated his opponent.

I just moved to Seattle and I have not lived in a place so thoroughly choked to the gills with stupid fucking leftists since I was at the UW-Madison. Seriously. Every other fucking Suburu Outback has an anti-Bush sticker on it. My favorite yesterday was "Bush is a punk ass chump". Real eloquent.

Punk ass chump or not, Bush is the CEO of the US of Fucking A. He has attained a level of success that your run-of-the-mill barista, software designer or Port of Seattle worker will never achieve. It must bum them out.

But then I realize--the Democrats hated Reagan with a similar passion [and the man didn't even "start" two wars!] and Nixon with a similar passion [even though he ENDED a war that a DEMOCRAT] started.

You should think of moving to Lincoln NE, where I live. Normal folks out where I am. No moonbats like that even at the University. I haven't seen any bumper stickers like that on any car in that town.

It's a nice place to live, believe me.

Wow, if jdamn moves to Lincoln, its f-bomb ratio per paragraph would be affected big time. At the risk of sounding like someone he disdains, jdamn should realize that the editorial in question is in and of itself a poor reflection upon its author.

It has to be noted that most students and academics of this type are just literal extensions of the pigs in Orwell's animal farm. The resemblance is uncanny. Kudo's to Orwell for being so perceptive.

I don't hate Seattle. I just find it hypocritical for these supposedly tolerant fuckfaces to have so much visceral hatred for one man. These are the people who think everyone else should tolerate everything from gay marriage to human-animal sex. If anyone should have a "fuck you" thrown in their faces, it should be them.

Advice:
Do do things to get pulled over.
Roll both passenger and driver side windows down, screw the weather, roll 'em down at nigh turn your dome light on.
Put your hands on the wheel and wait. DO NOT dig around for them.
Tell the officer where your license, reg and insurance are located before getting them.
If you are carrying a concealed weapon hand the officer your permit and tell the officer where it is located, if you think he might see it, it's in a waist holster and getting you reg out they might see it, verbally they them you are licensed to carry and where the weapon is.
If they catch a glimpse of a weapon and they don't know you have a permit, they will pull you out of the car at gun point and cuff you until they get it straightened out.
Do argue, argue in front of a judge if you think they are wrong in citing you.
Be pleasant, they are doing their job not harassing you. Don't take it personally.

But they'll encounter the same difficulties Hollywood encounters with this approach--audiences become desensitized (Some become disgusted), and all their increasing profanity (visual and otherwise) amounts to nothing more than cheap depravity.

There's no mention of idiots living there - just pretty pictures of the Lawn and Rotunda, an article about how traditions have changed (we wore ties and jackets to football games), an article declaiming (or not declaiming - you could read it either way) the assertion that Thos. Jefferson sired children by his slave, Sally Hemmings (that was all the revisionist rage when I was there) and a bunch of self-congratulatory profiles of the wonderful teachers and researchers.

I did notice, though, that something like 40% of the space was consumed by advertisements for wealth management companies, exclusive retirement villas and hunt country estates. Seems the aging hippie alumni have somehow accumulated big bucks without participating in the capitalist system.

But, sadly, even in Greeley - a fairly conservative rural city - this kind of vitriol is rampant on campus, especially within the College of Education (big surprise). Liberals have a firm grip on our college campuses and they're turning out brainwashed young people left and right (they like to call them "change agents"). It's their last stronghold.

re: #176 ChristianRepublic

Boy these kids don't have any manners whatsoever. I just shake my head...and make darn sure mine never grow up to be punk a$$ morons like these so called "free-speechers"

The inability of these college "journalists" to produce an articulate, convincing editorial about whatever issue their tantrum was addressing (I'm not sure what it is, but I suppose there's an issue in there somewhere) speaks VOLUMES about the shoddy, inadequate education they are receiving. I'm glad the university's leadership is "concerned." However, they should direct ALL of their concern — and all of their remedial energy — to addressing the fact that they are producing students who cannot think, reason, speak or write. The "Collegian editorial board" has produced something here that could likely be replicated by a marginally trained team of monkeys. They have vomited onto a piece of paper. If they believe these are serious times, and I think perhaps these students do, they have proven themselves to be trivial children wholly unprepared to meet the challenges of such serious times. Go back to class Monday, dear students, and DEMAND that you be given the education for which you have paid. You are desperately in need of it.

I wrote one of their advertisers, SALLIE MAE, and asked if they really expected to get any business from me if they advertised there and linked the offending page with their advertisement on it.

I bet this has been pointed out already : if they said f*** islam, or f*** the katrina victims, or f*** women's rights, all hell would break loose.

The foundations for the double-standards in our PC society have taken root deep in the ground, never to be disturbed: take on white Christian males and you are in the safe zone, but take on anyone else and you are in big trouble.

Fuck Bush. How so very creative. Did they think of this all by themselves or did hey have help with the spelling, too? I bet Mom and Dad are SOOOOOO Proud!

University officials released a statement explaining their concern for response to the editorial, and that it has no control over its student media.

Let this so-called student media throw around the "N" word and suggest that all "N's" be treated like the criminals they are and not be allowed on campus at all. Would the university fail to take action if this happened? I doubt this at all.

University officials are lying.

re: #88 Killgore Trout

The guy was trying to fulfill Old Testament Law, the dietary restrictions, stonings etc... With mainstream Christian Theology, Christ fulfilled the law lifting it's outward obligations upon us. Since Christ now lives within, we have the fulfillment of the law within. If we live by the inward life of Christ, as Paul explains in the Epistles we can live by the higher fulfilled law, Christ Himself.

Trying to live by law, is to miss the entire point of scripture in the Christian viewpoint.

Did he do the whole Deuteronomy bit, like going out the prescribed distance to dig a latrine hole, or avoid touching anything that a menstruating woman had touched?

Kosher and halal rules made perfect sense 2000 years ago, when there was no refrigeration, water came from wells, sewage was untreated, and general sanitation was haphazard.

Anybody chooses to live like that, fine. Just don't try to force it on me.

'University officials released a statement explaining their concern for response to the editorial, and that it has no control over its student media.'

. Of course, the concern of the Colorado State officials is with the response to the editorial, not with the four-letter 'editorial' itself.

I think the concern is more with the $30,000 in advertising revenue that has suddenly been pulled from the student paper for this little stunt:

The Associated Press Saturday reported the student newspaper has lost $30,000 in advertising and had to cut pay and other budgets by 10 percent because of fallout. Link.

It's just a matter of time before they all start screaming that the Chimpy Bushitler Nazis have repressed their "Free Speech" - just because some advertisers will refuse to pay good $$ to be posted in the same paper along with this nonsense.

In this "R" rated, dumbed down world, this is what passes for political discourse. Too many people, especially those on the Left, can't argue or reason or even carry on a coherent conversation, so the "F" bomb is dropped early (and frequently).

They're getting a small taste of real life. Sure, speech is free, but it has consequences. In this case, the consequences have cost the paper $30K, so far. It'll be interesting to see a followup story to this.

I betcha some of the staff who weren't part of that decision are very unhappy with what the editorial board has done.

Having attended CU in Boulder, this is the kind of editorial I would have expected in the Colorado Daily [Communist]. My brother went to CSU and it seemed a bit less moonbat. I was immune to their idiocy and often made fun of them. (I was an engineering grad, for the most part we made fun of moonbats and respected the ROTC students among us).

Agree with what others have said vis a vis the administration claim of how they have no control. I suspect an editorial advocating profiling at airports or illustrating the absurdity and detrimental consequences of diversity policies would not have been treated in such a hands-off manner. The latter statement is no mere speculation, look at the way the various campus entities have treated those groups who have sponsored bake sales illustrating the absurdity of affirmative action or invited [gasp] people like David Horowitz to explain why reparations to the 4'th and 5'th generation descendants of slaves is a really bad idea.

Another Mary Mapes J-school scholar.

What, no more hat tips?

"our intentions were not malicious."

What a load of horsecrap. Does that mean that I can say, "I'd like to beat the editorial staff of the CSU newspaper bloody with a rusty crowbar," then simply say that I didn't mean to sound malicious when they start bleating about it?

But hey, I'm sure this article will secure them one of any number of jobs at a major metropolitan newspaper.

I think that we can now all agree that the majority of academia is a cesspool of a warped, anti-American culture. Couple this story with Columbia welcoming a kidnapping terrorist thug and even the most optimistic observer should get the true picture.

Students, parents and alumni, you MUST correct this with your pocketbook. Find a school that teaches facts, not leftist agenda. (If you can.) Alumni, refuse to support a faculty that tolerates such an environment. And students, you must fight for your right to hear the truth and without a political agenda.

We CANNOT tolerate this any longer people!

When they graduate and start working, it won't be long before a majority of them miraculously become conservatives. A sociology professor at the University of Maryland told my freshman class the same thing back in 1970. We all shook our heads and said, "Never."

Of those in that class, I'd estimate that about 3% remain radical today, if that many.

It's amazing how easy it is to be radical when somebody else is paying your bills.

And then they will ask mumsie for more money to pay their tuition because they blew the payment on poster-boards and mushrooms.
