A New School student apologized to Sen. John McCain for hijacking his commencement address, but said her controversial speech was "what my conscience called for." "I said, 'I'm really sorry I had to do that.' And he said, 'Oh, it's all right, I understand,'" Jean Sara Rohe told the Daily News yesterday.
Rohe, 21, said she was unprepared for the angry response she got from McCain's camp after she spoke out against his support of the Iraq war and her fellow graduates heckled and booed him.
The Republican senator from Arizona, who is widely expected to make a bid for the presidency in 2008, said the New School students "could learn a lesson in courtesy." One of his aides called Rohe "an idiot."

New School President Bob Kerrey, a former Democratic senator who invited McCain to speak, praised Rohe for her bravery Friday. That statement by Kerrey borders on obscenity. Kerrey of all people should know the difference between true bravery and mere childish acting out. He diminishes himself with such a foolish pronouncement.

No one should be surprised by the intolerance of the left. We should be surprised Senator McCain and republicans in general are silent about it.
This young lady is a mouthpiece for a very immoral point of view, that we abandon millions of allies who are trying to secure a democracy. She should be told that in no uncertain terms. Leftists get people killed, lots of people.

Many of the incidents surrounding politics in modern society are more understandable if you approach them from the perspective that we are in the midst of a civil war fought with plowshares.

'I'm really sorry I had to do that.' She 'had to do that?' Some unearthly compulsion? Sheesh, liberalism IS a mental disorder.

LOL, this is just another poor kid who was brainwashed into support of Saddam and Sons; typical of liberals to whom history begins when they wake up in the morning!
McCain has nothing to do with her "speech".
To: The Electrician
Praising a spoiled little brat for ruining your guest's speech? Courage? tell her to join the army and put her life on the line, then get back to me.

Nonsense. She has no idea what a conscience is.
Her little tirade was what her EGO called for.

Disgruntled FReeper or disgusted DUmmyI don't think you'll find too many Freepers at the New School. It's the kind of place that thinks that anyone to the right of Trotsky is a fascist.

Right republicans, let every foul mouthed leftist kook shout you down as immoral murderers, and then give them a big pat on the back, while brave soldiers are dying in a worthy cause. How about telling her to sit down and shut up instead?

Geeesh..... we really do face a collapse of reason and sanity in this country when every raving leftist twit can be praised for "bravery" merely for regurgitating DNC talking points that will endear him/her to the moonbats. Bob Kerrey, of all people, should know better than to pander to these idiots with talk of "bravery" for such puerile twaddle. We need far LESS pandering to our pampered elite-wannabes........ how about a political "profile in courage" that will tell some of these whining whimpering wankers where to get off!!
