The domino effect in action....perhaps Moore will donate a couple million to make up for the losses.
Hmmmmm.....
You have to love liberal hypocrites like Michael Moore. He wants to desperately to spread the word about Bush that he charges $40,000 to speak. Another capitalist like Soros who makes money using "the system" then rails against it.
$40,000 could buy 40,000 McDonalds hamburgers. Or 40,000 White Castle burgers. Or 40 lunches for Kerry and Edwards.
Huh. So Freedom Of Speech also applies to people who don't like Michael Moore. Interesting.
Somehow this will be twisted into: "If you don't give millions of your own dollars to support something you think is morally wrong, that is CENSORSHIP!"
But of course! Haven't you been listening to the Hollywierds lately? Then again I wouldn't blame you if you hadn't.
attiontion alumni:
MOORE IS THE NORM AT YOUR ALMA MATER!
YOUR MONEY FEEDS THE COMMIES THAT CONTROL THE IVORY TOWER.
The same thing happened to the University of Oklahoma Law school after the Dean backed Anita Hill. Donations dried up. It got so bad that the dean sent out a letter practically begging for forgivness. Hill ultimately left but the alumni didn't forget. It did not get any better until the dean quit. The school is now doing great.
I find that hard to believe. M Moore is nothing more than a propagandist, our colleges are in more trouble than we think. If I had a child in that school I would force a transfer immediately period.
Did they use student fees to do this?
As one of the "idiot", "scumbag" members of the "vast right wing conspiracy", it makes me feel good to see that the "intellectuals" who run an institution of "higher" learning receive a reminder from the " stupid" and "greedy" "running dog capitalists" that there exists another world outside the insular, close-minded and provincial world of academia. This other world loves America, sees the threat from terror and, surprise , surprise, values demonstrable truth over the prevarications and propaganda of liberalism's Goebbels, Michael Moore.
Asked rhetorically, of course :)
Who in their right mind would pay $5 bucks to listen to this pig speak, much less $40,000? It's all I can do the change the channel quick enough when he is on television spewing for free.
Interesting thing that happens - when a liberal outrages the right, conservatives threaten to vote with their own dollars.
When a conservative riles the left, they get all outraged, and threaten to vote with someone ELSE's dollars.
Alumni can have a voice on how their money is spent and in controlling the direction of colleges.

I go to UVSC. The biggest issue most have is the fact that the students only allot 50K for speakers per year. Moore, is taking up up most of the speakers fees in one shot. My issue is this piece of dung will desecrate a pretty good institution. I spend a lot of money in out of state tuition and I am disapointed in the choice of Moore. Not to mention that Utah is a pretty conservative state, most people there firmly back Bush and recoil at some of the charges leveled by Moore. At least the ones I have met..
Not for long if UVSC's alumni association has anything to say about it (and I'll wager that they do).
The whole idea of "student government" should be scrapped. In reality, it is just a mean for a small minority of kooks to fund their weird desires.
Indeed they can. I'll go look at the site. My question was that if there are students who oppose Moore having their student fees used against their wishes, was the same budget used for Hannity? Or did they not need $40,000 to bring him to the campus?
