I find the idea of paying a war criminal $40,000 putrid.
You don't have to watch the whole video
to get the point. :puke::puke::puke:

1. There are so many ways of handling one's opposition to a speaker. Good ways and bad ways.
Acting like grade school children does nothing to make a point.

Rove doesn't come across looking like a "liar" or "war criminal", he looks like the patient victim of intolerance.

Sometimes we all have to act like adults.

6. I so disagree.
The last thing we need to do is act like adults. Those people are pissed, and they have good reason. Read your history, the disruptor's are the ones who change the world. It's long, it's thankless, and it's hard work, but it is indeed, in times like these, the work that matters the most. Sometimes you have to be willing to stand in front of the tank.

7. There's a time and a place for everything. That wasn't it.
Karl Rove's moment is over. Way over.

8. Of course you're entitled to you own opinion-
However, I have to tell you, if you get me any where close to one of those war criminals, and you can believe I'm letting them know how I feel.

10. Have you been to one of these university forums?
The guest usually gives a talk of some sort, and then the floor is open to questions. Wouldn't that be the more appropriate time to strongly suggest that Rove is a liar, murdering, traitorous weed?

12. No, sorry, I haven't been close to too many-
universities in my life. Again, if you put me any where near any of these thugs, I'm striking out, and I don't know how patient I could be.

2. Interesting. Lots of brownshirts in that room
Brave disrupters, too.

Karl Rove pretends to give a crap (and cry!) about dead soldiers.

Funny, all of the military families are just so proud to die for our glorious hell hole.

4. There are a LOT of brown shirts not sitting in that room too...
The tragic thing is, just like in the good old days of Nazi Germany, there are a LOT of brown shirts supporting these war criminals. I have my four older siblings supporting them. One of my brother-in-laws even sent me an email of a "tear-jerking story" from john mcbush about some POW he was with who insisted on sewing together an American flag over and over again. Just bullshit.

There are a lot of "good people" backing these criminals. I'll bet most of the grieving families who lost loved ones in Iraq "want it to be for something". I'd hate like hell to think my son died for absolutely nothing. But the clear truth is....they did die for absolutely nothing.

This criminal administration needs to be held accountable. Something needs to give.
