WATCH: College Students Chase David Petraeus and Shout at Him on First Day of Class
Mediaite ^ | September 11, 2013 | Andrew Kirell

Recent video shows former CIA director David Petraeus being chased down a New York City street by student activists at the City University of New York.

Petraeus was reportedly on the way to teaching his first class at CUNY’s honors college, entitled “Are We on the Threshold of the North American Decade?” He took on the teaching gig as part of rehabilitating his image following an extramarital affair scandal that led to his resignation from the CIA.

The students can be heard yelling “War criminal!” at the retired military officer who played a key role in the “counterinsurgency” strategy of the Iraq War. “Every class, David!” the students shout, suggesting they plan to protest him on a weekly basis, before every lecture.

“Petraeus out of CUNY” and “Fascist” were some of the other chants.

At one point, Petraeus and two of the students dart off into the middle of a street with an oncoming bus honking. Despite the repeated expletives hurled his way, the former general never once responded to the crowd.

Hey, he took the job. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out this was bound to happen at that school.

Petraeus will have a laugh at these nitwit student who are paying 40K to get a degree in ________ Studies. They will have to earn $150 per hour to pay back their loans. They need to learn to speak the immortal words, “do you want fries with that?”

No sympathy. He has it all coming.

Better drop the image rehab idea, and accept a sweet gig from a military/industrial complex behemoth with fully staffed corporate security.

I attended CUNY after I got discharged. I had to attend at night so I could work full time during the day and slock into the city in time for classes. Lots of liberals for sure, but there were a lot of people just trying to get a good education and CUNY was one of most respected business schools. The year was 1969. Today, the entire system is a waste of tokens to get to class.

You'd THINK if they were principled in their outrage, they'd be protesting Obama's war on Syria.

Well, someone did come up with this video. It is VERY clever satire and a strong jab at the mindless followers of Obama.

They were morons back in the 1960’s, and they’re morons now.

Progressives are fascists. All of their outrage is phony.

No it's real.....they just believe all of the lies told to them by the schools and the media.

I don’t think it’s real. Progressives will turn to violence in a heartbeat.

I half expected this kind of scene when Condi returned to Stanford College. I heard about a little harassment, but not a lot. Maybe Petraeus wanted the public to know what he’s up against, as he continues his Redemption Tour of Duty.

This is what happens when one is trying to rehab with liberals without mercy: no job for you general, you go the gulag.

Must be the same compassionate souls who demand love, tolerance, and equality for whatever degenerates are waving the most victim cards today.

Petraeus isn't exactly a sympathetic character, however.

"With Major Lawrence, mercy is a passion. With me, it is merely good manners. You may judge which motive is the more reliable."

How much did they pay him to let those people die and cover it up?

Actually, some of the CUNYs are still great schools like Baruch. They are a bargain if you are a NY resident—as little as $180/credit.
