And they have a website up at Cornell about his appearance there at noon today and tonight. They are showing their true colors now. As Dean says...they can't talk about Bush and his failures, so they just attack.

I honestly don't believe I have ever seen groups protesting a party chair, busing in people to do it. This is pure hatred, and just plain fear. This group is the one who goes after professors, trying to sue them if they don't speak conservatively enough for them. I was on a mailing list with some professors of a Florida University when a couple of them were undergoing scrutiny by this obnoxious group which spouts only rhetoric.

Here is the article about Alfred University, where he spoke to a crowd of at least 500. They did not include a picture of the protesters, so don't know how many.

SNIP..."During his speech, Dean shrugged off those who would label him as an ultra-liberal. He also praised America's fighting men and women. Dean said some people resort to name calling because they don't have anything else to say.

"Guns, God and gays," he said. "That's the Republican message - you're either for it or against it."


But Dean also tried to do some fence mending, saying the Democratic Party addresses parts of the nation largely ignored as Republican strongholds. Sometimes, Dean said, not all decisions are popular. However, he said people will respect those people who take time to explain their decisions and listen to the concerns."

Here is the College Republicans website at Cornell, keeping track of Dean today there. Pics included at the site. Again, it only looks like a couple of protestors, but hard to say. They never clarify. Maybe these rallies are like the Free Republic rallies, where they talk big and show up only a little.
