Wow. What a profoundly stupid post. I mean, you make Forrest Gump look absolutely brilliant.

You mean a whole 4,000 students and faculty from BYU with a full-time student enrollment of almost 30,000 and a faculty of approximately 1,600 actually attended the forum to hear Reid speak? Shocking, I tell you.

And of that whopping 4,000 a whole 1,000 of them gave him a standing ovation. What an indictment of how many students think so highly of Harry Reid I mean, that is like a whole 3 percent of the student body and faculty. Appalling, I tell you.

And since I’m sure you were in attendance, you certainly must know how many of the 1,000 “students” and “faculty” were actually from BYU rather than democratic activists who were asked by the Utah Democratic Party to attend the forum, right?

You really made a strong point with this post. NOT. If you weren’t such an anti-Mormon bigot, you would admit that BYU’s students and faculty are overwhelmingly conservative. But, clowns like you never let facts get in the way of your bigotry.

There were two ways to respond to my post--your way--and UtahGirl's (see post #265). UtahGirl is always polite and avoids ad-hominem name-calling. Yours? (Well, thanks for a study in contrast, anyway)

Well, again, maybe you should have waited & read UtahGirl's response first. Because even for a conservative like Justice Roberts, he drew only twice as many as Reid from your "cavernous" student & faculty population. (Here BYU had 5-digit enrollment numbers X3 and yet couldn't even crack 5-digits).

If you weren’t such an anti-Mormon bigot, you would admit that BYU’s students and faculty are overwhelmingly conservative. But, clowns like you never let facts get in the way of your bigotry.

Hey, you need to work on your repetition more (I only counted two "bigot"/"bigotry" remarks at the peak of your comments; and we all know if you really want to properly putdown a "clown" you need to hurl more invectives like that...I mean, look, you failed to even use the word "bigoted.")

[Oh, and BTW, since "bigot" is of French origin, it's worth noting two things...

(1) It was used abusively in French for the Beguines, members of a Roman Catholic lay sisterhood, with the meaning of attaching "excessive devotion" to this sisterhood...(yeah, the devoted do get slapped around a bit)

(2) As one FREEPER explained to me, his understanding was that French women would use it to define who was hypocritical and who wasn't (thereby attempting to frame who was a proper church member & who wasn't). Hmm...Now where have I heard someone who tried to do just that? Oh yeah:

"My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right — and which I should join. I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong, and the personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in His sight: that those professors were all corrupt..." (Joseph Smith - History, vv. 18-19, Pearl of Great Price)
