Students Pelt Karl Rove In Protest
NBC 4 DC ^ | 4/4/07 | NBC

WASHINGTON -- White House Advisor Karl Rove was the target of a protest on the American University campus Tuesday night, NBC 4 reported.

Rove was on the campus to talk to the College Republicans, but when he got outside more than a dozen students began throwing things at him and at his car, an American University spokesperson said.

The students then got on the ground and laid down in front of his car as a protest.

The students said security officials picked them up and carried them away so Rove could leave.

Police said they have dealt with a lot of protests on campus and this one was handled peacefully.

No one was arrested.

“this one was handled peacefully”

That’s a load of BS. When people assault a person by throwing things, that is NOT peaceful. I guess we need cameras to catch these miscreants committing crimes. These thuggies parents ought to be ashamed.

Gee, I wonder if our buddy from the ACLU led this one as well.

Isn’t it nice to know that young RATS can assault someone - but, in the view of the media, everything turns out just fine and “peaceful” because “no one was arrested.”

No one was arrested.”

Assault and vandalism are legal for snot-nose quislings?

Actually yes! As long as they are Democrats! At least that is the law in practice in Minnesota!

Anyone who’d perpetrate this kind of thing against a guy who’s nothing more than a two bit political operative is simply opposed to the whole concept of democracy.

I do not understand why the police can’t videotape the actions by violent protesters while they arrest them.

Tell ANSWERS/MOVEON lawyers to go back to hell were you came from, we have got your Bolsheviks on tape committing crimes.

This is a still image from the video link in the story. They look like a bunch of spoiled brats without jobs.

They control the schools, the oolleges, the major newspapers, and the major TV networks. But they don’t like it that we can get out our message with talk radio.

A frind of mine sent this to me today:
Difference Between Left & Right

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.” The florist is pleased and leaves the shop.
Next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
 
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.” The cop is happy and leaves the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a thank you card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Later a Republican comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to  pay his bill the barber again replies, “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.” The Republican is very happy  and leaves the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open, there is a thank you card and a dozen different books, such as “How to Improve Your Business” and ”Becoming More Successful.”
 
Then a Democrat comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill th e barber again replies, “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.” The Democrat is very happy and leaves the shop.
 
The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Democrats lined up waiting for a free haircut.
 
 And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the left and right.

From American University’s website: “AU actively promotes international understanding..”

AU is where a lot of this Robert Pastor/NAU cheerleading crap comes out of FWIW.

I don’t blame them, they’re brainwashed.

We need to find a way to make sure the truth is dominate in the media.

I heard one of the protestors on the radio this morning whining that her right to protest had been violated by the police. Translation: They weren’t supposed to stop us!

Absolutely. But we at the conspiracy don't want to give it away, otherwise we would have already renamed it to North American University.

The problem is, of course, that Northern Arizona already owns the URLs.

But we will get the domain name, eventually, being the all-powerful conspiracy that we are.

Mwahahahaha *cough* hahahahaha
