Santorum jeered at graduation

The Associated Press

THORNBURY - U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum was greeted with boos and turned backs Saturday while giving a commencement speech at Cheyney University, a historically black college.

"I know my selection as commencement speaker was not met with unanimous approval," Santorum said.

While most of the master's degree candidates remained seated, more than half of the graduating undergraduates stood and faced away from the senator in silent protest.

<snip>

The quiet protest turned to a chorus of boos and jeers at several points, particularly when Santorum focused on family values and the percentage of black children born out of wedlock.

3. Can't imagine why they invited him, but I'm wild about his reception!
So Rick thinks it's a good idea not to bring anything positive to share with the graduating students, and instead, starts telling them what scum people their age are, unless they are like Santorum's neighbors.

How can these neo-cons stand themselves? Jeez.

12. Wonderful picture, JudiLyn.
Santorum is a hate and racist and "elitist" enabler.

He fits in perfectly with the extreme right-wing fling.
