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.
H/T Campus Reform
Not surprising since "Ben Packer" and most demonicrats behave like human excrement.
If the ivy league brought in students based on common sense and not the ability to read a text book better than someone else, we wouldn’t see this.
Liberal students are nothing but sponges. You can quote me on that.
“Thanks for the question Emily. No I would not have anal sex for a political contribution BUT you can shove that question up Ben Packer’s ass. I’m sure he’d enjoy it. Now, any of you smart asses have any legitimate questions?”
I don’t know if the photo in the article was actually taken at the event but if so kudos to the gov for wearing the LaRue Tactical shirt!
Physiologically it is designed as an exit for human waste. It functions as designed. Human waste is a biohazard. That students are this confused and immature doesn’t bode well for the future.
Government schooling is teaching PC morality and it’s a religion.
The fault lies squarely on the American people themselves for tolerating this--not all of them, mind you, there are millions like you and me who are resisting and looking for a means of escape.
Never before has it been more important to serve as good examples for our children and to teach them our values.
...or nearly drowned.
Heh-—good one.
Every liberal is a violent, seething thug.
They sure are and I despise them
Why bring Sigma Chi into your rant? There is no Sigma Chi chapter at Dartmouth and I can find no connection between Emily Sellers and Sigma Chi - let alone that she is Sweetheart.
Please either provide details to back up your connection between the two or apologize for besmirching an outstanding fraternity.
Stay Classy, Liberals. Of course classy to libs are gutter talking...
I’ve seen more maturity from a class of homeschooled pre-schoolers.
Because as we all know, life is all about anal sex. Nothing else comes close to its importance in the human experience.
The world hangs in the balance.
I’m glad these ivy league colleges have their priorities in order and encourage it in their students. It will take them extremely far in later life as they live in their parent’s basements.
This is Alinsky all the way.
More rationality, common sense, and intelligence too.
True...very true....
I would like to think the writer of the article specifically put the lad’s name in there for effect.
He should have said it was a moot point. After six yrs under BO, we all know what it’s like getting screwed that way...
My question to the students: why are WE wasting OUR money on your supposed higher education?
