Sorry, no pictures.
I just returned from California State University at Monterey Bay where the University is hosting Ward Churchill this evening. The Young Republicans on campus held a very nice candlelight vigil, attended by about 50-60 people. Three young ladies read the names of every 9/11 victim to remember them as people, not as the "Little Eichmans" that the left, and Mr Churchill have labled them.
It was a very nice event. That is, as nice as it could be against the backdrop of about 150 of the great unwashed, chanting anti-Bush slogans throughout the reading of each name.
I asked one of the young women from the group that sponsored the event whether or not these fellow students were basically decent to her outside of such a tense environment, like one on one. She said "sometimes". Anyway, I thanked her for what they had done.
Ultimately, it was as I expected. A huge contrast between peoples. I was proud to be on our side, decently honoring our lost Americans. But mostly, I was ashamed for the other side. They truly don't know what idiots they looked like, nor how heartless they sounded. This college conservative group, who number about six or seven from what I could see, outclassed thier classmates by a longshot.
This was my first "Freep" of sorts, and other than arguing with a few aging hippies, I kept to myself. Nontheless, I loved it and I will do it again soon.
Kudos to you folks!
>>other than arguing with a few aging hippies,
I was talking to a couple of those while waiting in an airport this weekend. They were travelling to CA to visit relatives; they had left CA because "it had gotten too crazy", and now live here in GA.
I didn't say anything, but couldn't help thinking "you screwed up CA already, hippy! Don't vote here!"
Better than nothing. At least Fox's conservative audience in this liberal area will know they aren't alone. Not great coverage, but it's a start.
I'm here in Santa Cruz and had a friend try to get me to attend Ward Churchill's appearance last night to make a showing of a Republican presence, but I didn't see any point to it. What is one supposed to do? Point out that 95% of North and South American Indians died of smallpox and that the suggestion that there was an "American Indian genocide" is spurious idiocy of the highest order in the furtherance of nihilist grievance monering? Doubt that would go over well.
I would have felt better if you were there. Not to dispute a so-called atrocity of Native Americans, (Most of his rhetoric has little to do with indians). but to be by my side. Standing up against the "mad hatter" world views of their side. That's all.
I took a few pictures and some video. I'll load the pictures to my site and hopefully, I'll be able to load up some video footage.

Good work, Brian.
Maybe we should start a Freeper sub-forum for Republicans in this general locality. It is too nice an area to be left to blathering, anti-rational, ordure worshipping fribbles.
Here is the link to some of the pictures I took. I'm sorry their quality isn't too good.

I signed-up for the service, but was still unable to access the pictures for reasons unknown and indeterminate.
Try this link.

Great, but doesn't look like I missed anything of too high significance. Besides, I don't know if I have the patience for such people.
Perhaps this is flogging a dead horse, but here's my notes on Churchill's rant
Ward Churchill: When Liberals Attack
Ward Churchill, the self-described Indian spoke at the California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB). He was invited to speak by the racist, Mexican-nationalist group MECHA. Churchill is the clown who called the 9-11 victims in the World Trade Center buildings little Eichmanns. As he wrote; True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break. They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of Americas global financial empire- the `mighty engine of profit` to which the military dimension of U.S. policy has always been enslaved-and they did so both willingly and knowingly. Churchill also claims to be a member of the American Indian Movement (AIM, basically Anarchists In Moccasins). It should also be noted that even that bunch of goofballs dont claim him. The AIM Grand Governing Council, Ministry for Information issued a statement (http://www.aimovement.org/moipr/churchill05.html) condemning Churchills statements. They also add that Churchill fraudulently passes himself off as an Indian and a member of AIM. They report that Churchills AIM membership card is an honorary one that was issued by the Keetoowah Tribe of Oklahoma. The cards dont qualify the holder as a member of any tribe. Bill Clinton was also issued an honorary membership card. (This makes him not just the first Black president but also the first Indian president.)
Not that his rant would be made acceptable or true even if he was really and Indian.
The local Republican Party, including CSUMBs college Republicans organized a protest in opposition to Churchill. The protest included the reading of the names of the 9-11 victims and a candlelight vigil.
I went to the gathering to support the opposition to Churchill and see the types of degenerates who would support such a sub-human. The supporters of Churchill were the usual group of college Marxists, with a few old-time Reds thrown in for good measure. Several of the well thought out signs included Republicans eat ****, How are we going to stop US sponsored terrorism? No war but class War Economic disparity (and apparently not Muslim extremism)guarantees terrorism America, love it or give it back etc. Frankly, it would have been a good place for the Ohio National Guard to do some target practice.
If the anti-US, peace-preaching pukes would have stopped there, I wouldnt have had much of a problem with them. (OK, I miss-spoke, Id still consider them worthless savages.) But instead, they began banging drums and chanting loudly and drowning out the young women who were reading off the names. If anyone has any doubt that these savages are enemies of this Country, that act alone should convince them.
While the college Republicans and their supporters stayed outside for the candlelight vigil, I ventured inside to hear the wizened words of Churchill.
Churchill claimed to be with Colorado chapter of AIM and whined on and on for several minutes about the attempts to fire him. He also moaned about people who claim he isnt an Indian.
Interestingly, (To me anyway) is how he credits OReilly and his show for giving him so much publicity. I think that its highly possible that this idiot would have been forgotten if OReilly hadnt pumped him up. Following the usual left-wing talking points, he blames the UN sanctions (and not Saddams violation of them) for the deaths of Iraqi children. Ever wonder why the lefts concern for children doesnt extend to opposing their murder by way of abortion? I dont, I know its because liberals are hypocritical degenerates, but, more on that later. He also mentions Clintons secretary of state Madeleine (not)Albright and her condoning of the deaths of Iraqis, due to the sanctions.
He makes a bizarre cause and effect statement about wealthy people causing starving children. He whined a bit about the group of bomb-tossing crackpots known as the Palestinians. Now of course I know that not all Palestinians are terrorists, but its rare that you hear Palestinians condemning the murders of Israeli civilians.
One possibly redeeming quality of Churchill is that he opposes Kerry, claiming he sold out Vietnam vets. He claims he supports the draft-dodger Bush Jr.
Churchill follows the usual leftist rants, whining about the 54 Guatemala and Iran CIA-sponsored coups. (Both overthrew Communists, which I see as a good use of CIA resources) He sniveled about the U.S. not paying reparations to North Vietnam, leaving out that the reparations were agreed to under the condition that the North didnt invade South Vietnam, which of course they did.
He snivels on about Japan trying to surrender (with conditions) for six months before we dropped atomic bombs on them, which led to them surrendering unconditionally. He bashes the U.S. as the only country to use atomic weapons.
He did point out actual atrocities, such as the fire-bombings of civilian targets in Japan and Germany, the slaughter of the Moros in the Philippines and the Dutch murder of the Indian population in Manhattan prior to the founding of the U.S.
You may find it hard to believe, but Churchill says he more conservative than the people outside protesting him. Ask him, hell tell you he is. He claims hes more Conservative because hes for following the law. The laws hes speaking of are international laws that oppose the best interests of the U.S. He calls for the U.S to follow UN directives and disarm.
He denies saying that the 9-11 victims got what they deserved and claims Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson did say the victims deserved death. Churchill also claims the Right doesnt read the Bible. Preach on Reverend Churchill.
Churchill is scum, but not unique to college university campuses. Perhaps its a good thing Churchill that made his hateful statements. It lets us see the enemy and how he really thinks. Churchill said what many liberals probably believe. As I said in my profile, liberals are a bigger threat to the U.S. that Al Qaida or the Soviet Union could ever be. The liberals live among us and aside from the few who wear their treasonous politics on the bumpers of their vehicles; you wont see them until they strike.
P.S., I also recorded Churchills talk.
