In response to Frank Schneider (Comment #10000) Kristoff Rand (Comment #10004):
I know, I know we should only cheer at the public performances of our leaders. (oops! sorry ... I was looking at the wrong manual ... I’ve been doing some research on communist dictatorships ... gawd, I really am sorry about that ... now where were we?)
Actually, I would have compared the audience to maybe a sports crowd and a zip-10 losing season for the home team. That’s an analogy I could live with.
Or we could go with, “Young people should only make noise when shooting their weapons at our enemies.” or something about cannon fodder might fit whenever we talk about the 18 to 25 year-olds.
And what the hell, I voted for Nixon in 1960! I have never voted for a Clinton and won’t in the future. My view on McCain is that he is a becoming a comic book character in US politics.

just another chance for Democrazies to show that they’re crazy…
I have never spoken with a sane democrat… mmm wonder why that is?
I agree with them on many issues however they only see red when talking to me…
I think it’s because they are too angry to have foresight… bush blew up the trade center, the pentagon was a tomahawk missle… buch planned Iraq before he was elected… bush stole the election..
why is it that you’re all so fraking crazy.. is it a requirment for DNR membership?
I think this girl proves they just want attention.. good attention or bad thats all they want…

I don’t understand why the school would someone to your school then be rude to them because you disagree with some of their beliefs. It appears to be extremly rude or just plain ignorant.

Thank God, for youth like this. She is fighting the good fight for PEACE. In America today there is so much pressure to accept misimformation as fact that ethics are almost nonexistant. Our ongress has sold it cheap and our media usually will aid in selling the deceptions.
It is inspiring to see the youth speak Truth and not sell their self respect to the wealthy interrests that have bought our Congress on both sides of the isle.

After reading Jean Rohe’s complete post, including her speech, over on huffingtonpost.com (see link above), I can enthusiastically repeat myself from an earlier comment at “McCain Is Booed at Graduation Speech” (Comment #9932 by Hilding Lindquist on 5/20 at 5:41 am):
“Thank god for the young people at The New School. There is hope for a renewal of our humanity.”
