McCain Pummeled at New School
Poor old man never had a chance when student Jean Rohe took him head on in her address:
“The senator does not reflect the ideals upon which this university was founded,” Rohe proclaimed to loud cheers, with McCain sitting just a few feet away.
She added that she knew what McCain would be saying to the graduates since he had promised to deliver the same speech he gave at Rev. Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University last weekend and Columbia University on Tuesday.
“He will tell us we are young and too naive to have valid opinions,” Rohe said. “I am young and though I don’t possess the wisdom that time affords us, I do know that pre-emptive war is dangerous. And I know that despite all the havoc that my country has wrought overseas in my name, Osama bin Laden still has not been found, nor have those weapons of mass destruction.”
When McCain got up to speak, it was to a smattering of boos and hisses. Many graduate wore or carried orange to signify their disapproval of McCain’s war-mongering stance and his continued support for intolerance.
Thank you New School graduates for exhibiting the disgust at McCain that all moral Americans would if they new the straight truth.
[…] Jean Rohe, the student speaker at the New School graduation who spoke out against McCain, shared her experience over at Huffington Post: It really wasn’t his fault that he got invited into a pit of very well-educated vipers, and it really wasn’t my fault that I did what I had to do in the situation. Had he been speaking at something other than our graduation, or had he spoken about almost anything other than his life and his position on the Iraq War and Darfur it might have been OK. But what did he expect? Campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination at the New School is like trying to catch fish in a swimming pool. It was just totally out of place. Many thanks go to the people in the audience who managed to capture with a few yelled and widely-quoted phrases, just exactly what was going on there. […]
I’m glad that the “war-mongering” is going on, otherwise I wouldn’t have a comfortable life. You forget that the Romans lasted 1,000 years off of war-mongering. Peace is not a trait to brag about, read Nietzsche if you doubt me. The Romans would have ended this Iraq business long ago and their tactics were a lot more severe then our dainty Gitmo prisons.
If any situational or forensic scientist were to objectively analize the U.S. Forrestall fire photos and tapes of the fire, that MacCain was in the middle of,you could redily conclude that McClain caused the entire conflagration.
The general public has only been given McCain’s concocted, and tortured, self-serving explanation. This explanation, of course, blames some unidentified person, or electical malfunction — neither of which, of course by definition, could be questioned about the catastrophical situation that resulted.
Respectfully submitted.
