Amazing...
where's the quadruple barf alert---
this and janet skankel reno would make a nice couple!
To: VinnyTex
As a result, she was widely and repeatedly booed by a stunned audience of parents and graduates. A black woman was booed.
A female African American was booed!
An African IN America womyn was booed!! And she's an out lesbian, too!!!
Is it possible...Is it just possible...that this is A Sign? That a member of two protected minorities,both considered to be sacrosant on colleges (especially liberal arts colleges) could be booed...is it more than just wartime patriotism? Could it be that PC's cold, dead hand 'round the throat of higher education, is beginniong to weaken?
I wish this had happened at an Ivy League school, but hey, maybe it's a start. I can dream, right?

In Georgetown, Texas I'm suprised she was not hanged. I use to play golf on their little 9 hole course. People around there are pretty conservative, unlike their neighbors in North Austin.
To: WesternPacific
Maybe she was a victim of the prevalent liberal delusion that all smart people are automatically liberal, and all liberals are automatically smart. Remember the articles on Rush Limbaugh that came out when he first got media notice? Time ,Newsweek, et al, did 2 pagers on him, and all the articles hinted broadly that
of course he didn't
really believe the things he was saying. It was all an act, and he was secretly laughing at the Joe 6 packs who listened to his program. Once the media realized Rush was sincere in his antiAbortion, antiAA , etc beliefs, it reacted with utter outrage, as if Limbaugh had set out to trick them, by being a smart, savvy man who didn't hold views identical with the liberal media's.
Sounds like bell hooks just assumed all college students, anywhere , would toe the PC line.

LOL! There's another brain-damaged *Professional Victim* in my neck of the woods -- Berkeley, CA -- named "boona cheema" who's doing the same thing.
The biggest joke about this annoying affectation is that e.e. cummings beat them all to the lower-case punch over fifty years ago...

I plead guilty to being a right wing, white, male, and middle aged member of the patriarchy in the homosexist and racist country called the USA. That pretty much covers it for the good Dr. Hooks.
To: MikalM
Maybe she is an e.e. cummings fan.

Yet just as the violence of the terrorists who slaughtered the innocent on 9/11 does not lead us closer to justice, to reconciliation or peace, the violence acts of imperialist aggression enacted in the name of bringing an end to terrorism have brought us no closer to reconciliation, to peace, to justice. Don't you get tired of the socialist cliches, name-calling and finger-pointing which are interchangeable? What these arguments amount to is propaganda. Strip out the specifics, look at the style, and it's just spew. There's no objectivity, no logic, and no viewpoint other than "the US is an evil imperialist." This woman is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing but delusions of grandeur and entirely too much arrogance.
To: Senator Pardek
LOL! You are not serious.
To: Victoria Delsoul
LOL - can you blame me? I have a funny preference for bizarre girls - sue me! ;)
To: Senator Pardek
I don't think so. LOL.
To: VinnyTex
Good grief!!
How many times to you have to flush before those like her go away??
