College Republicans bus in people to protest Dean at Alfred University.

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.

:evilgrin:

Let's smoke 'em out. I know, smoke 'em out.

Heh heh. They're afraid of losing their power so that's why they're going after everything. Even when they win they're angry. :shrug:

:bounce:

just think of the bucks that would
roll in...

It's Dean's turn at bat and the cons are terrified!

disgusted with themselves. But man that GOP is a well oiled machine.

Funny how the GOP has the money to train GOP youth 'officers' on campus but the US Army has to send the "officers" to Iraq with their training cut short.

Just a thought on how different resources are used differently. That says an awful lot about values.

:hi:

And yes, it is well-oiled machine. The more I read of the Republican Noise Machine, the sicker I get inside.

the way $$$ is spent in the Republican way. When you tie it all together and compare the $$ put into think tanks so that Repukes could get elected and undo SS, when you add it all up - that will be a good story to tell. The truth.:hi:

These fools want to attack people based on differing viewpoints? Not a good idea - well, unless they want us to do that as well. What do they say "he who lives by the sword..."

I cannot wait until 2006!

you do in keeping us up to date on the happenings
with the Good Doctor?

If not, thank you.

:yourock:

AU sophomore Matthew Corson-Finnerty said Dean has a great message of hope to the young Democrats across the country. The 20-year-old from Philadelphia is president of the AU organization Stu-dents for Social Change, which among other things is encouraging college students to vote in the spring's village elections.

"He really cares," he said. "You can feel that."

Dean's main message, acc-ording to Corson-Finnerty, was to take responsibility and plan for the long term. He particularly liked Dean's message that America has to regain the moral higher ground when it comes to being a world leader, and that leadership is not just tied to military might.

Hornell Mayor Shawn Hogan, an early supporter of Dean during his 2004 presidential bid, also was impressed.

Hogan said the speech was wonderful and indicative of why the former Vermont governor had such strong early presidential contender.
Obvious Matthew Finnerty didn't get the DLC memo that Dean was all anger and no hope. Good for this kid!!

As far as the Repuke protesters, why are they protesting Dean when they should be signing up in the Army and shipping out to Iraq? Don't they know that they Army and Marines aren't making their recruiting goals? :shrug: :eyes:

Where DupeYa' matriculated?
What me Worry?

Has ANYBODY EVER seen DupeYa' and Alfred E. Neumann in the same room at the same time???
Inquiring Minds want to know

Pic borrowed from Kos poster. He has a speech there tonight.

How many average Americans did Terry McAwfull have coming to hear him speak?

:hi:

freaks is likely to go wacko with a gun one day, given the vitriol spewed by their masters-PigBoy, Inseanity, and Savage.

Did Democrats ever protest a republican chairman? What are they afraid of?

:shrug: Like someone else said, if they're THIS bored and without jobs and not going to school they should be in Iraq or Afghanstain.

they have way too much time on their hands, they need to enlist or at least get a job.

I say let 'em come. Maybe he can convert a couple.

...give them brochures on about joining the military... I'll bet that will take the fight out of them.

The opposition was weak.

If they take the time to listen.

the more I hear from him, the more I like him. I'm a Clark for pres guy, but I think Dean will do a great job.

I couldn't find it on the democrats.org website.

Thank you for keeping us posted on our fearless leader.

give them love,they have never had any love.Hose them down with a strong disinfectant,cover them in several paper bags and tell them they will get attention and love in life as soon as they join the human race. If this fails, buy them a one way ticket to Iraq and a clue.

:hi:

Throwing their lives away to hatred and anger at such a young age.

is already rung."- Henry Ward Beecher I'm still waiting for people to wake up and realize that the Republican Party is trying to lead us back to the Stone age and that THEY are wrong.

Okay, so maybe you had to live in L.A. in the '70's to understand my reference.

Just a few weeks ago they kept warning, how Dean would hurt our party, I knew then how afraid they were of him.

Go, Howard, go!!

order a sufficient number of port-o-potties?

Their port-o-potty, that is. I do believe their initials were FR, and they guarded that potty from other protestors.....even though there were only about 12 of them.

LOL. Guarding portapotties? :shrug:

I remember a thread on it here at DU. C-Span showed the FR protest, with just a handful of folks. They sure had enough potties though, and they did not allow anyone else to use them.

Gee, I would love to find that thread again.

Why do I doubt it?

These people are proud of their ability to organize. I met a proud mom who was boasting about her young Republican son and how his group had won awards for their organization skills. Meanwhile, the Dems on campus weren't any where close to meeting their abilities. Well, maybe it's because lefties believe in rules. It keeps getting in the way.

This is linked from the site I posted above in the OP. Notice how Raccoon (the diarist) makes a point of how many MSM were there with all their equipment. If that be true, why don't we see anything about it? They want all his appearances open, make big deals, then don't mention it.

This is obviously by someone who is anti-Dean, but it could have been worse.

Pretty good coverage. The award for the oddest statement would be to this girl:
""I thought that his speech and his rally indicate that he has been bought off by the Democratic Party. That is why they gave him the chairmanship. To make him not say radical things any more," said Cornell student Rebekah Ward."

That goes so far over my head....but we will take what we can get.
