Sir. Have you no decency?

[zencat]

Yep. This just ain't the Vietnam era that so many liberals reminisce and long for.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

I guess he should be glad no loose fruit was nearby.

[Old Sarge]

My book collection will now be purged of any of this Socialist's screeds.

When will the hippies finally die already?

Some Hofstra professors said Doctorow was on target in discussing the war. "I thought this was a totally appropriate place to talk about politics because that's the world our students are entering," said sociology professor Cythnia Bogard. "I only wish their parents had provided them a better role model."

I would have marched up into the middle of the grads, found my child and walked out via the center aisle. That would have been the kind of role model I'd have been. Show my kids that we don't have to sit and tolerate what others think we need to hear if we know it to be a lie.

I love it when the left takes a punch to the gut.

E.L. Doctorow, one of the most celebrated writers in America

I guess I'm out of touch. What has he written and why haven't I heard of it?

[over3Owithabrain]

Wow - the Hofstra audience booed? That's the second case this week of commie speakers getting raspberried while on a rant. Perhaps the opinion polls aren't so accurate...

[barker]

E.L. Doctorow, one of the most celebrated writers in America, ....

Really, I've never heard of him. Course, I probably have no literary redemption. I tend to read Clancy, King, Koontz, Rush and Hannity books. And of course the late, great BKO.

[Dan from Michigan]

There's a thing called "time and place" and that ain't the time nor place for that stuff.

[Lancey Howard]

E.L. Doctorow? Whew! God bless anybody who can stay awake reading that guy's bloated garbage. What a bore! And apparently Doctorow is a "boor" as well.

[oblomov]

Good old E.L. Doctorow... I remember reading "white Noise", Doctorow's screed against Reagan and the America he represented. In that book, the conservative narrator is Chairman of the "Hitler Studies" Department at a Midwestern college. It's a ham-handed attempt to mock American culture, consumerism, blah blah blah.

[TomGuy]

There was another speaker at an Eastern university a few days ago who was also booed off stage for anti-Bush comments in his speech.

Grads don't want their commencement politicized by the libs.

E.L.,

Next time, suit your speech content to the context, genius.

Oh, and Ragtime sucked.

[Bahbah]

Oh happy day. And they are so insulated, liberals, that is, that they don't know we're out there.

"I thought this was a totally appropriate place to talk about politics because that's the world our students are entering," said sociology professor Cythnia Bogard. "I only wish their parents had provided them a better role model."

Another example of the true leftist agenda. Maybe I am reading this wrong, but to me it appears Ms. Bogard believes that parents are incapable of being role models to their children.

That is probably the most sickening thing I have read in a long, long time. The majority of students didn't sit quietly and accept the hate and lies spouted at their commencement, and this leftist says their reaction is because of a lack of good parents.

Just amazing.

[Zechariah11]

Provost Dr. Herman Berliner said he has been to numerous graduation ceremonies during the past 30 years and "I cannot remember a commencement speech that was as divisive as this commencement speech was."

Bravo for the audience!!!!!

[aculeus]

Great! We need more of this!
