This is liberalism at its finest. Get really angry with someone who holds views different from your own, and then berate that person with hyper-emotional drivel. In this case, the victim was Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who received sexually explicit questions from Dartmouth's student body regarding anal sex during a visit to the college. Perry is a social conservative.
According to the Dartmouth, the student newspaper, Perry was there to discuss the midterms, border security, energy initiatives and foreign policy. There was a Q&A session–and that’s when things devolved. Both presidents of the College Democrats and Republicans condemned the actions of their peers [emphasis mine]:
When Perry opened up discussion to the audience, several students posed questions, deriding Perry’s views on same-sex marriage.
Emily Sellers ’15 asked if Perry would have anal sex in exchange for campaign contributions of $102 million, while Timothy Messen ’18 accused the governor of comparing homosexuality to alcoholism.
Ben Packer ’17, who wrote and distributed these and other questions, said Perry’s views were more insulting than the questions.
Several members of the audience said they were excited to hear Perry speak but offended by the questions.
“I was really excited to see him come out to Dartmouth and speak with the students and I think he was able to cater towards the entire audience, not only the College Republicans,” Abraham Herrera ’18 said, noting that some students’ remarks were offensive.
“They were phrased in incredibly insulting ways, and I’m horrified,” College Republicans president Michelle Knesbach ’17 said. “We allow people to ask policy-driven questions, but when they’re phrased in an insulting manner, we try to avoid that, because it just detracts from the overall political discourse we can have on campus.”
College Democrats president Spencer Blair ’17 agreed, stating that he understood concerns about Perry’s stance on gay marriage but was disappointed by the tone of the questions.
“I think it’s really disappointing that anyone would undermine a serious political event with sexually explicit questions, and neither I nor anyone from College Democrats would ever condone such behavior,” said Blair. “We appreciate Governor Perry visiting campus, as we encourage any sort of political engagement and discourse here at Dartmouth.”
Zachary Myslinski ’15 said that he thought the questions posed legitimate concerns about Perry’s social policies.
Keep in mind; this is the same school that held a lesson in “cultural appropriation” for Halloween costumes last month.
Again, liberalism at its finest.
H/T Campus Reform
Well mom and dad, how’s that $65000 per year tuition, room and board working out for you? Proud of your little munchkin?
Yes, you’ve raised him/her/it so well!
“The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi” is a song. I think the point was to draw a comparison between the mores of the era of the song, and the general vulgarity of Emily Sellers.
For progressives, individual liberty is all about sexual freedom. Every other aspect of human existence is to be controlled by government.
I think it is interesting that those in this group who would deny Scripture just demonstrated the same sin committed against the angels in Sodom.
He could have smiled and said, “thats a very good question. My answer is that in Texas, any female asking that question would be considered a tramp and any man would get his teeth rearranged. Next question please.”
They're devotees of the devil, alongside their mentor, Saul Alinsky (see the dedication to "Rules for Radicals").
This takes Saul Alinsky's credo of fighting dirty to a...new level.
Ben Packer? It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
There is no civil discourse anymore. Only gutter intercourse.
Your interpretation of the Liz remarks is a stretch.
If Liz has written ‘”The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi” 1911 — Emily Sellers 2015’, your interpretation would have made sense.
It looks like she is insultingly calling Emily Sellers the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.
And it is a lot more than a song - it is also a real person. And an honorable tradition.
The ‘17 assumes he’ll graduate.
Would "have anal sex in exchange for campaign contributions of" about 3 cents.
.
Maybe she belongs to the “I Ate A PHI” fraternity.
If Liz meant to besmirch the honor of Sigma Chi or its sweethearts, then maybe Liz can address this. Within in the context of the discussion, randomly attacking Sigma Chi seems like a bit of a stretch, but I could be wrong.
Which correlates directly to abortion, one of the high holy sacraments of liberalism.
It’ called Dartmouth for a reason.
More like Fartmouth.
They don’t care what goes in their mouth.
Thank you for your concern and involvement.
You’ve certainly clarified what you think Liz was thinking.
Maybe Liz can now stand on her own.
You’re welcome.
Sometimes it is appropriate to refuse to throw your pearls to swine.
