In a bookstore no less. I’m just wondering why he stopped there and didn’t walk down the aisles pointing out the book titles he wanted removed for “offending” him.

politically specific products that had no educational value That could describe most of liberal arts courses taught in any college today.

It wasn't viewpoint neutral. It was very specifically insulting to the president." Where the hell do these ninnies get off time and time again declaring that the world must be "viewpoint neutral"? Was it some rule their middle school teacher had? I have news for them. No one ever said life was fair. Get over it you big crybaby.

Indeed I think UT AUSTIN is infinitely more liberal than UT KNOXVILLE and I know Austin is liberal....much more than Knoxville which aside from the school is conservative
I think the posters didn’t think UTA would have had the mints to begin with

It was just a joke - JimRob has made it very clear he is not interested in making FR commercial.

Yes. I was NOT joking about ending FReepathons forever, though. Sick and tired of ‘em. It’s a shame and a disgrace to Conservatives that Jim has to go begging every three months.

I matriculated at UTK and had to put up with the biased and corrupt communist professors. I could not keep my opinions to myself when many of these began to spew their ilk and I had to settle for lower grades because of their intense scrutiny. Still, I did very well so screw them, each and everyone of the liberal illegitimate children.

Wonder how “offended” Gumbo the Legislator would be if a student had complained about mints spoofing Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann.
My guess is he/she’d be lectured about free speech and told to “get over it.”

I had to settle for lower grades because of their intense scrutiny. Having to 'settle' for lower grades because your ideology conflicted with their communist agenda is complete and utter bullsh*t...especially when you consider how much cash you are shelling out...

What difference does it make that the mints are a “discretionary product”???
He would be okay with a book, but a book is also a “discretionary product”, isn’t it?
Who in the sam hill does he think he is, saying it wasn’t “viewpoint neutral”???? Why does something like this have to be “viewpoint neutral”?
And so because he was offended, hold everything!!! Another liberal has been offended by something which would not be offensive if this had been directed at a Republican president.
Exactly what are the criteria we may follow in criticizing the president?
Boop Their Tiny Tootsies!
