Seems like Cornell students weren't too impressed by their latest Professor.

The auditorium was only half full, and the students described her as "incoherent" and "did an absolutely dreadful job in answering the questions."

Maybe it's true what they say about today's crop of college students being more conservative than the professors. McKinney was apparently more popular among the aging hippies who reside in Ithaca permanently, than among the student body she was supposed to be there for.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

"Dr. King -- America's lantern -- was spiked on April 4," McKinney said.

Risable quote from a dim bulb.

It wasn't CORNELL UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR Cynthia McKinney's lantern that was spiked. It was her mineral water.

"How come it's so hard to get common-sense legislation passed?"

It is neither common, NOR does it make sense.

It is elitist

She must have gone to school in the 60s as a radical token....
Gotten that Phd the same way...
Kinda like Clinton...having students dictate to the administration the new critera for admitance to grad schools and grading...based not upon merit but 'other' critera...mo modern

The Georgian said that her "hefty agenda" has led to positive results in her life.

Slip of the tongue....she must have meant "LEFTY" agenda...

Black conservative ping

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

The auditorium's balcony area was closed off for the event. Even so, the remaining seats were only three-fourths filled for the much-anticipated event.

In Journalism 101, which I took at Cornell, putting this at the end of the story was called "burying the lead".

Yeh explained that once the police removed Greenwald from the auditorium, "he was asked to leave and he walked out. He was being disruptive. ... He's entitled to his views."

Just not there!

[hchutch]

Think this also qualifies for "just damn"?

[Celtjew Libertarian]

A remarkably unfawning article, especially for a student paper.

So there is hope for the "City of Evil".

Of course the policeman did NOT represent Constitutional authority well, did he?

I'm so tired of ideological lightweights hiding behind the veil of Martin Luther King. She is an anti-American, pro-Palestinian self-avowed anti-semite who would no sooner answer such allegations "coherently" because she is also a coward.

Several of us witnessed that firsthand 18 months ago when we went to confront her stupidity head on and she was ushered through the basement of a building to avoid us. Meanwhile, she sent her lapdogs and her even *more* incoherent father to deal with us.

Every time I see something in print about her, I feel the deep desire to vomit. *Anyone* who lends credibility to this clueless dirtbag needs to be railroaded to the nearest jihad islamifascist country.

Excuse me while I wipe the spit from my monitor.....

Bingo.
