Colorado State U Student Paper: F*CK BUSH

Sat, Sep 22, 2007 at 9:56:33 am PDT

In a world where students were held accountable for their bad behavior, this would be cause for immediate dismissal of the editorial staff of the The Rocky Mountain Collegian.

Quote:
TASER THIS

F*CK BUSH

This is the view of the Collegian editorial board.
They didn’t use the asterisk, of course.

But in this world, university officials have no control over these whiny moonbat creeps, who are now complaining that they’re being criticized.

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

Quote:
“While we understand (the editorial) is upsetting and offensive to many people, CSU is prohibited by law from censoring or regulating the content of its student media publications,” CSU said in a written statement.

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


“While the editorial board feels strongly with regard to first amendment issues, we have found the unintended consequences of such a bold statement to be extremely disheartening,” wrote J. David McSwane, editor-in-chief.
The journalists of tomorrow.



Way to hide behind the first amendment!

If the political tables were turned and the paper's staff had made a similar comment about someone from the democrat party they'd not only be kicked off the paper but would also be crucified in the mainstream media.

Sounds like they will fit in just fine with any of the mainstream media outlets, perhaps CBS news, CNN, or maybe even on Olbermann's wiriting staff for his MSNBC propaganda show.

Yep, he's almost as heralded by the left as Hitler.

Video: Columbia University Dean Says School Would Invite Hitler

A dean at Columbia University said they would give Hitler a platform as well!

University Dean John Coatsworth, aging relic and bastion of liberal idiocy appeared on Fox News to defend the invite of a man who is supporting and participating in killing American servicemen and women.

Quote:
“If Hitler were in the United States and he wanted a platform from which to speak he would have plenty of platforms to speak from in the United States. If he were willing to engage in a debate and a discussion, to be challenged by Columbia students and faculty, we would certainly invite him.”


... and the video thanks to youtube

Moonbattery at its finest.
