This is liberalism at its finest. Get really angry with someone who holds views different from your own, and then berate that person with hyper-emotional drivel. In this case, the victim was Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who received sexually explicit questions from Dartmouth's student body regarding anal sex during a visit to the college. Perry is a social conservative.
According to the Dartmouth, the student newspaper, Perry was there to discuss the midterms, border security, energy initiatives and foreign policy. There was a Q&A session–and that’s when things devolved. Both presidents of the College Democrats and Republicans condemned the actions of their peers [emphasis mine]:
When Perry opened up discussion to the audience, several students posed questions, deriding Perry’s views on same-sex marriage.
Emily Sellers ’15 asked if Perry would have anal sex in exchange for campaign contributions of $102 million, while Timothy Messen ’18 accused the governor of comparing homosexuality to alcoholism.
Ben Packer ’17, who wrote and distributed these and other questions, said Perry’s views were more insulting than the questions.
Several members of the audience said they were excited to hear Perry speak but offended by the questions.
“I was really excited to see him come out to Dartmouth and speak with the students and I think he was able to cater towards the entire audience, not only the College Republicans,” Abraham Herrera ’18 said, noting that some students’ remarks were offensive.
“They were phrased in incredibly insulting ways, and I’m horrified,” College Republicans president Michelle Knesbach ’17 said. “We allow people to ask policy-driven questions, but when they’re phrased in an insulting manner, we try to avoid that, because it just detracts from the overall political discourse we can have on campus.”
College Democrats president Spencer Blair ’17 agreed, stating that he understood concerns about Perry’s stance on gay marriage but was disappointed by the tone of the questions.
“I think it’s really disappointing that anyone would undermine a serious political event with sexually explicit questions, and neither I nor anyone from College Democrats would ever condone such behavior,” said Blair. “We appreciate Governor Perry visiting campus, as we encourage any sort of political engagement and discourse here at Dartmouth.”
Zachary Myslinski ’15 said that he thought the questions posed legitimate concerns about Perry’s social policies.
Keep in mind; this is the same school that held a lesson in “cultural appropriation” for Halloween costumes last month.
Again, liberalism at its finest.

“Ben Packer.” Some lines just write themselves.
What was Perry’s response? I know he is a Christian. Did he tell them about God?
“Ben Packer ’17, who wrote and distributed these and other questions ...”
No way. Really?
Ah ... the “maturity” of the left.
==========================================
"The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi"---Emily Sellers (Dartmouth ’15) asked if Perry would have anal sex in exchange for campaign contributions of $102 million.
The word around Dartmouth is---Emily offered to fellate illegal latinos on the Capitol steps in exchange for Democrat votes, last Tuesday.
Dem losses might indicate she musta got burned out (/snix).
Stay away from Liberal places. . . . . . .
With a name like that, it’s no wonder
Isn’t it sad that this Ben Packer’s (I still say this name is evidence that we are living in The Matrix) entire life seems to be defined by sticking things up his backside? Sticking things up his backside is his cause, his mission, his life. Pathetic.
Rick Perry: pearls
Ben Packer: swine
And sometimes we wonder why this country is going to hell in a hand basket. That train is building steam and heading downhill at 90 miles an hour plus.
The Ivy League has turned into poison ivy. Time for America to wake up and realize these institutions of “higher learning” are frauds and breeding grounds for socialism.
A rap in the mouth would have been the remedy for such bad manners in years gone by. One wonders just whether the soft noodle political corrrectness approach is simply giving in to them. These students have demonstrated one fact: they are liberal fascists. The ends justify the means.There is no respect for the Constitution. And these intend to inherit America? No , they must be destroyed through public riducule.

The Ivy League has degenerated into trash. This is the sort of garbage that they mistake for sophistication.
I agree with your philosophy about the rap in the mouth, I was a bit more forceful, would have loved to see a Texas Ranger sight them in with a peace maker. While that may sound extreme, IMO it is going to come to something like that in the not too distant future as more of these lefty clowns get farther and farther removed form civil behavior as their zeal to transform the country into some lib paradise vanishes.
Yesterday at FSU, the resently installed new president who was a former gop state senator was meeting with some lefty student group. When the local rag cites the group as leftist, you know they are somewhat left of Mao. Anyway, they berated him about the Koch Brothers and oil fracking et al. IOW, he was not one of the college crowd pleasing lefties who populate most of the executive university offices and worse was a conservative hense the enemy.
Fine. Let’s drag what fags actually do out into day light. Let’s put their vileness out there for all to contemplate.
This is where Marxism has been taught for 100 years.
Pray America is waking
Christian parents don’t send their children or their money to these ungodly places, resisting the temptations of power and riches at the cost of their souls. Lot loved money more than his family when he chose to live in Sodom, a terrible decision.
