    And you're a typical repug that fails to see that not everyone is a lib. And even though they won in court, that doesn't mean they were suing on behalf of everyone else. If that were the case then why didn't they ask others to join in on the fight? And faux suing is not an opinion, it is news. And it is your opinion that is not news but opinion. You need to decide if you're a repug or a lib. Now go ask yourself why faux would feel the need to fight for the right to lie.

    If this is nonsense please post the evidence you have to refute the stories below

    Conservative speakers now have bodyguards when they visit universities.

    Obviously you have never studied the constitution, because it happens to be the first amendment. Since you struggle coming up with an argument other than your pathetic weak opinion, maybe you could post the evidence that says FOX lies about news broadcasts?

    Your evidence is two opinion pieces, one by a conservative who was heckled but delivered his speech, a piece I would characterize as self promotional.
    The other a guy going through some mental gymnastics to show that conservatives are underrepresented as commencement speakers at the top 50 universities.
    Maybe it's just that when colleges look for intelligent, interesting people to deliver commencement addresses, conservatives get weeded out by the "intelligent, interesting criteria".
    And your own "Evidence" shows there are conservative speakers on campuses, who don't need armed guards (that was cultish hyperbole there), there just aren't as many.
    I would suggest that that is more a function of the tastes of highly educated audiences, rather than a national conspiracy to silence conservatives.

    So in other words, you have nothing other than your uninformed opinion. There is no question that the vast majority of colleges lean way way way left, and there has been plenty of stories that have emerged detailing the bias exclusion of conservative speech. The only stories that are ever put in the news are about colleges of left wing loon students or professors harassing conservatives, even down to grade school. Again, please scour the internet and find any college or school that conservatives have tried to limit or squelch the speech of liberals, or post something that rebuts my point. If you can't do that, then it will clear for me to assume it is you that are part of the cult

    BTW, just because it is an audience of college students doesn't mean they are highly educated, so stop with your bull(*)(*)(*)(*) fluff, no one is buying it. Colleges are meant and suppose to be a place where differing ideas and opinions are exchanged, not some islamo-nazi education propaganda trying to stop the speech of those that disagree with them

    What I am saying is if you select people for their intelligence through some sort of competitive exam system and gather them together at various locations, you will have mostly Liberals at those locations, as the reality of the situation has demonstrated.
    And they will want to hear Liberal speakers, give speeches,and they won't want to hear conservatives tell lies, and they will heckle conservatives who tell lies.
    The only Islamo-Nazi suppression of ideas at college campuses, happens at places like Liberty University or Bob Jones University, where religious extremists rule the day.
    Students circulating a petition to remove Karl Rove from the podium is an exercise in free speech, think about it....

    Yes, I agree with playing to an audience, but this isn't American Idol, these are colleges where the exchange of ideas are healthy. You example exactly what a closed spoon fed mind actually is with your blatantly bias ignorant comment about conservative speakers tell lies. You post two christian colleges with not one shred of evidence they do the same to any liberal students there. It is very clear you have nothing other than your propaganda fed prattle to rebut my point of overwhelming nazi like bias in the vast majority of colleges in the US

    Once again, no facts, just opinions uncritically received as TRUTH.
    Which I why I characterized your opinion as cult like.

    And once again not one single intelligently informed opinion or fact to rebut my point, only your spoon fed hatred for conservative opinion and thought. It is quite clear where the cult attitude lies in this exchange between you and I.

    Here, digest this article if your masters will let you:

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8427-2005Mar28.html

    College faculties, long assumed to be a liberal bastion, lean further to the left than even the most conspiratorial conservatives might have imagined, a new study says.

    "In general," says Lichter, who also heads the nonprofit Center for Media and Public Affairs, "even broad-minded people gravitate toward other people like themselves. That's why you need diversity, not just of race and gender but also, maybe especially, of ideas and perspective."

    My point again addresses the thread of liberals will not allow any dissent of their biased opinions, that is why people like you hate FOX news and anything conservative because you have been spoon fed not to allow any dissenting opinion. A tragedy in the formation of your cult attitude

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/2...pping-students-from-handing-out-constitution/

    Hawaii college sued for stopping students from handing out Constitution

    Oh, and did I mention thanks to FOX news Americans are able to read this story, because you can be sure you would never read or see on the left wing news

    How could any of us seen the focus groups, they weren't televised.

    Frank was the bee's knees in the 90's with the GOP, and nobody else does focus groups for Fox News. Are you trying to assert the focus groups he conducted for Fox News in 1995-1996 never happened?....or are you trying to assert Fox News never had any focus groups prior to going live in 1996?

    Good then stop telling me what I posted, and actually try reading the comments in the proper context.

    No it was republicans or neocons who claim to be conservative, or people who are not accounting for the actual facts when they repeat some of their ridiculous statements told to them by lunatic extremists. I am actually trying to point out the facts whenever possible. You know reality.


    You just made my case for me. I wrote; Republicans extremist nut jobs (the non-conservatives), but you still think I am talking about a conservative. Reading comprehension on your part. You don't even know what a real conservative is, do you. You are trying to accept a template created by your supremacist extremist right wing heroes, who are anything but conservative. Anyone who would place a sign like that in their front yard should be walking picket lines with the Westboro bunch. They are not conservatives but they vote republican everytime.


    Disagreeing with extremist from either political extreme doesn't make you a liberal. It makes you a realist.

    I'm talking about the ones televised by Fox News during 2009 and 2010 on a variety of issues -- which is about the last time I remember watching Fox News.

    Gotcha......I watch Fox News just so I can see why righties on this site come up with the things they come up with.

    It's also as much fun as looking at funny monkey videos on Youtube.

    Hannity is especially enjoyable this week, watching him back peddle like a middle line backer

    Really, I have to refute your ridiculous premise that conservative speech is not allowed on college campuses?
    Have you ever been on a college campus? Do you have any idea what goes on there?
    Do you have the ability to spot a publicity stunt?
    Do you have any idea that you are being used by FOX news and made to look foolish?
    Do you really believe that that is the whole story?
    That two students were prohibited from handing out copies of the constitution? that's the story, they weren't being disruptive in any way, they weren't where they weren't supposed to be, they weren't violating any rules, they were just handing out copies of the constitution. Did you know there is a rule that requires people who want to hand out anything, free Constitutions, or discount coupons for the Abortion Clinic, or sales flyers for the liquor store, without first registering at the student development office?
    Boy, they sure fooled you didn't they.......?

    I didn't say it was not allowed, my point is intolerance and harassment. You keep reposting your liberal prattle weak opinion. Why don't you post a liberal being harassed goober? You are but a tool for your intolerant cult.

    Here ya go sport, this is from USA Today, since you can't muster the tolerance to read anything from FOX.

    Unfortunately, that imperative is being honored these days more in the breach than the observance, often by student "progressives" who, in gestures not of tolerance or broad-mindedness but of the rankest kind of illiberalism, attempt to shut down campus functions and speakers with whom they disagree.

    Maybe you missed it, but your example of a conservative being harassed while handing out copies of the constitution was a publicity stunt staged by conservatives, it wasn't a real event, it was a staged event to make propaganda to fool people into thinking that conservatives were being harassed.

    There isn't a problem, this is like the "War against Christmas" it's propaganda, aimed at weak minds, designed to sway people who don't have the critical thinking skills to realize it's propaganda....because it works

    What you're talking about is something I wish many liberals would stop doing.

    I'm a 50 year old white guy, and my workplace is probably 75% female, and probably only 5% of us are white males. I'd also add that we have a pretty even mix accross the board for races because we have a ton of white females.

    Anyway......

    Even as liberal as I am.........before people find that out, they always seem to be expecting me to be a conservative chauvanist racist. It's like they're nearly dissapointed when they hear me talk about battling with conservatives, and evangelicals on this site.

    As much as I wish it didn't exist...there are prejudicial and unreasonable expectations for white men as opposed to all others. One could make the argument that white men, in North America, have dominated and oppressed non white males since we arrived. But those men are dead.

    You were fooled, did you get that?
    It wasn't about conservatives handing out the constitution, it was about not being allowed to handout stuff where they were handing out stuff, probably because it results in a lot of litter.
    But FOX only told part of the story, that was the worm on the hook, and look who bit, then they reeled you in.....

    Just like Horowitz reeled you in with his story, he was giving a talk on a campus and there were hecklers, but he still gave the talk, he just pretended it was sort of like Nazi Germany, and someone swallowed that whole......

    They got you all worked up over a complete non-issue......

    Here's a website,http://www.yaf.org/speakersearch.aspx?id=79, that "offers students the chance to host more than 70 prominent leaders of the Conservative Movement.", do you think that there could be a going business booking over 70 conservative speakers on college campuses if it was not allowed?

    You got taken in by a publicity stunt......

    Great to see that website you posted, but it is still your opinion that those were political stunts, because the opinion you espouse has been fed to you over and over, you actually believe. Now if you really want to see the acceptance of diverse opinions, maybe you can list all the prominent speakers that the colleges across America have invited to speak. You can't get much more prominent than Condi Rice, and look at what the left loons did to her.
