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.
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)
Unlike her, I’m not so diplomatic. I call it like it see it and your posting history reveals what you are—an anti-Mormon bigot.
Bigots never let facts get in their way. You make a pathetic attempt in your post to impugn BYU students as liberals who are supportive of Harry Reid when the FACTS couldn’t be more different.
BYU is ranked as the 4th most conservative college in the U.S. http://spotlight.encarta.msn.com/Features/encnet_Departments_College_default_article_10schoolsPoliticallyConservative08.html
And in 2005, Provo, Utah was ranked the most conservative city in the U.S. http://www.govpro.com/News/Article/31439/
But, as I have repeatedly seen from your posts, facts won’t get in the way of your repeated efforts to smear Mormons and any institution affiliated with them
Vice President Dick Cheney was standing room only at the Marriott Center (22,000.) He received a standing ovation. Not to excuse the BYU students, but the forums are piped into all the buildings on BYU campus. When I was a student there, I would often listen to the devotional or forum in another building, and not have to walk to the Marriott Center in bad weather. (The Marriott Center is located on the northeast edge of campus, most buildings that hold classes are located on the southeast side of campus.) So there isn't an accurate number of who listened to Judge Roberts (or for that matter, Harry Reid.)
