RALEIGH, N.C. -- Talk show pioneer Phil Donahue heard boos and catcalls Saturday during a politically tinged commencement address at North Carolina State University.

It's unbelievable to me how poorly these students write and spell. And these are graduates?

This country may not have much of a future if this is the best we are educating our kids.

I don't recall the details but I believe it was during one of his re-election campaigns.

It was before Clintoon's first term. He flew home to Arkansas (he was still Gov) during the campaign to make sure they executed the guy so he could prove he was a NEW DEMONCRAT, no one of those "wussie" liberal DEMS. The death row retarded inmate saved his desert for after the execution.

Why these 60's era flaming libs still get invited to any post 9/11 events is beyond me.

Because academia is still overwrought with liberals. Liberals in charge of major universities who get to decide who to invite to speak at commencments.

Overwrought may be the wrong word here. Lets just say overflowing.

Others said a graduation wasn't the place for his political platform.

Amen. It was their day, not his. Typical rantings from a selfish leftist. It's all about me, me, me.

What liberals believe, he said, "is that no one in authority should tell you to 'shush,'

Liberals are against "shushing" only when it applies to blasphemy, profanity, and obscenity. They are the number one "shushers" when it comes to speech that violates their rationalist blueprints of "the good society" (such as ethnic slurs).

that executing retarded teenagers is wrong,

"Wrong?" As in "in violation of cultic Divine decree?" (And after all, what other valid definition of the concept is there?) I didn't know Phil Donahue was into believing that certain things were "wrong."

Donahue, 67, urged the graduates to help renew basic American constitutional values of free speech, separation of church and state,

I suggest that Mr. Marlo Thomas put his money where his mouth is and campaign for the repeal of all laws against murder. After all, what use is it to hypocritically campaign against the Ten Commandments if our supposedly "secular" government is actually enacting one of them into law??? Come on you ACLU types. Campaign against all legislation of sectarian morality or stand convicted before all the world as hypocrites!

and respect for the rights of minorities.

Ie, respect for simple-minded Bible-thumping Fundamentalists who believe all non-chr*stians must fry in hell for all eternity as long as they are of the politically correct pigmentation (in which case their fundamentalism, identical to that of their "redneck" neighbors, is arbitrarily declared part of a "revolutionary" culture).

"Take a liberal to lunch," he said. "Take a Dixie Chick to lunch."

I think Phil Donahue and the Dixie Chicks are among the "honest liberals" and "national bolsheviks" endorsed by the "true conservatives" over at Original Dissent--right up there with Joseph Stalin, Kim Il Sung, Yasser Arafat, Gore Vidal, Noam Chomsky, Norman Mailer, Ramsey Clark, and Lyndon LaRouche.

Does anyone know what the late Danny Thomas thought of the ultra-liberalism of his daughter and son-in-law?

"Take a Dixie Chick to lunch", indeed! Only if they are part of the menu.

If I ever see that on a menu I'm calling the county health department. And the FDA!

And to think that I gave 6 years (Army 60's) to maintain this idiot's the right to be stupid.

Thank you for your service to our country.

(Students) have a true leader, George W. a man they can admire and also disagree with honestly, if they so choose. How about that folks, honest debate and morals. What a kick.

Let's hope honest debate spreads from NC to the rest of the Nation.
