Do you KNOW Vernon Robinson? I KNOW Vernon Robinson. He is as I described.

I have extremely high regard for one black conservative, Alan Keyes. He's one of the best speakers I've ever seen. I also like William Raspberry. That being said, yes, I believe that the black man has a long way to go...so does the white man and the Asian man.

Most "black conservatives" are RINOs who are only taking the positions they hold for their own self-advancement, not because they truly champion the Republican cause.

Too bad if the truth hurts, but its still the truth.

I've read your supposedly erudite posts as well...you are more akin to Jesse Jackson than Alan Keyes...

He's a barking moonbat.

Raspberry is my fraternity brother who've I met at one of our national conventions. He's a left-winger.

Now there's a sweeping statement.

Too bad if the truth hurts, but its still the truth.

You've told nothing but lies thus far.

I've read your supposedly erudite posts as well...you are more akin to Jesse Jackson than Alan Keyes...

And the best part of you dripped between the crack of your mama's butt. Or maybe she swallowed it.

Jesse Jackson will get bitch-slapped by me if I ever meet him. That's not a threat; it's a promise. And I'm glad you said that I'm not like Alan Keyes. He's as self-serving as Jack$on.

You have anything else to say?

Of course you know this since you've met "most black conservatives," right?

Thank God you aren't the ultimate arbiter of who's conservative and who's not.

And the personal insults are not necessary, though it seems you like to use them regularly when it comes to black conservatives.

But did they know you were black in the column? That would lay the poor bedwetters up in the hopsital for at least a week.

Yep. And they had kittens...

This dude has some brass ones, doesn't he? Guess he'll find out soon enough that they'll get cracked like walnuts.

Ward Churchill would so much more appropriate for that guy instead of a man like HK.

Maine's Bowdoin College

Enough said. Let's call the group opposing Robinson and see if they'll let HK come visit with 'em awhile....

Is William Gilchrist from the South?

This editorial is right on, mhking. Thanks for illustrating the hypocrisy and attempted sensorship of the left. It's almost like the left is afraid of what might happen if the black community received fact and started to think for it/themselves.

The black community needs more people like Vernon Robinson - and you.

Bowidion College Republicans also have these two speakers on tap. I did not get a further notice of the March 3rd meeting so I don't konw if it happened.

Thursday, March 3rd
Benjamin Ginsberg, former chief legal counsel to the Bush-Cheney campaigns, will be joining us. Time and location TBA. For more information on Ben, please visit:
http://www.pattonboggs.com/ourlawyers/a-z/bginsberg.html

Monday, April 4th
Phyllis Shlafly, noted anti-feminist and conservative leader, will be at Bowdoin. Phyllis is the leader of The Eagle Forum, which is a pro-family organization (http://www.eagleforum.org/). Please visit http://www.eagleforum.org/misc/bio.html for a biography of Ms. Shlafly.

We hope that you will be able to attend some of these events. This is one way in which the College Republicans feel that they can help not only in the cause of fighting the Left on our campuses, but also helping those in the greater communities served by these campuses to see our point-of-view, and enable the Republican Party to remain strong.

Christopher K. Averill
Executive Director, Maine State College Republican Organization
Co-Chairman, Bowdoin College Republicans

Typical of the left: Any speaker who differs from their viewpoint can not be permitted to speak.

Wasn't Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain the President of Bowdoin College after he served in the WBTS?

Amazing how you ignore rdb3's foul language and name-calling.

Somewhat hypocritical, don't you think?
