Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.
Published on April 4, 2007 By Dr Guy In Politics

Is apparently just a suggestion that is to be ignored when someone does not agree with you.  In yet another example of the tolerant left, Karl Rove was pelted with foreign objects (versus the domestic kind) after speaking at American University.  Why?  Did he threaten anyone?  No.  Did he assault anyone?  No.

He gave a speech that was not to the liking of some on the tolerant left.  I am sure these were peace protestors as well (for the dense - the last statement is an OPINION).  Who else would use violent means to stiffle opposing viewpoints?

I am sure some will poo-poo the report for one reason alone.  The source is not CNN, the NY Times, or the Washington Post - but that bastion of the vast right wing conspiracy - Fox (Excuse me - faux) News.

I hold out no hope that the loons on the left will ever condemn, recognize, or acknowledge these blatant attacks on the first amendment to the constitution.  They will excuse it away (dont beleive that?  Check out the Puffington Host, Daily Kos, or du.org), or deny it completely.

Hopefully, the more sane members who call themselves liberals (or the PC term - progressive), will see the constant barrage (literally) of the loons on the left against the first amendment as a real threat to their freedoms as well.  After all, it is not a new concept:

"First They Came for the Jews..."
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

This member of the tolerant left believes shouting down or otherwise disrupting a speaker is un-American. What's up with the name calling anyway?

If you are referring to "loons", what else would you call the people that attack conservative speakers for the simple reason they are conservative speakers?

I would not call them mainstream or even representative of liberals in general. Just the lunatic fringe.
