Young Conservative Is the Toast of Talk Radio

Teen claims political harassment after clashes with fellow students over what they call racist writings.

By Rone Tempest, Times Staff Writer

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. — Just before the final bell at Rancho Cotate High School on a recent afternoon, a campus supervisor reported to Principal Mitchell Carter on his walkie-talkie: "I'm in position. Subject in view."
The focus of the extra security was a lanky, blue-eyed, 17-year-old high school junior, Tim Bueler, whose claims of political harassment by "liberal" students and faculty have made him into something of a youth hero among conservative Web bloggers and radio talk show hosts across the country.    

Since the beginning of January, Bueler has been escorted by an adult school official to and from every class and to his father's car at the end of the day. The precaution was ordered by the school district superintendent after several confrontations between Bueler and fellow members of the school Conservative Club, and other students who object to what they claim are "racist" writings in the club's political tracts.

The resulting free speech divide has ruffled feathers and formed fault lines in the 1,900-pupil, predominantly white, middle-class school nicknamed by students "The Ranch."

6. This is a prelude
to the real thuggery to follow. "Good work" says RW to all who would use violence to keep chimp in power.

24. I'm afraid I agree
The victim's mentality he displays is common in all Totalitarian Aggressors.

Undoubedtly, many Nazis felt victimized by the all-powerful Jews, even as they were shoving them in the ovens.

As I said, instilling the victim mentality in agressors is seminal to creating Totalitarian Followers.

2. Not surprised he's scared.
Why, he probably learned in history class that back in WWII liberals used to shoot nazis like him.

3. YUCK! Who in the hell are these people?

My children would get their mouths washed out with soap if they ever called anybody un-american because they believed in racial, religious or ethnic diversity.

This is the beginning of the young conservative spin because there has been so much talk of "first time voters" in Iowa and they all registered democrat. See, we have young voters too!

5. No problem with this.
He excercised his free speech (albeit in a stupid manner). If others want to crow about it, fine. IMHO, it is of little import. However, any student making threats should be kicked out.

15. He also disrupts the school by aiming at teachers
I don't understand why he wasn't disciplined or suspended.

17. The only offense was not getting permission.
I have no problem with people being activists. He is over the top, but he's an activist. I'd rather have them than a bunch of kids who don't care at all. The kid deserves a detention or two for posting unauthorized fliers. Who knows, maybe he has been disciplined already.

7. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen
Don't let your mouth write a check your butt can't cash.


Now Mr. Wimpy needs a hand-holder wherever he goes.


What a puss.

8. Shame on his parents
for raising such a little Nazi.

Someone should kidnap the kid and force him to have a vasectomy before he can breed...

10. Maybe we need to get this kid a DNA test
Perhaps he was the love child produced in a drunken act of love between Rush and Ann Coulter.

If this were my kid, I would refuse to have him walked around under guard. If he's a big enough man to shoot his mouth off, he better be a big enough man to take a good old-fashioned ass-whooping!

11. Voice of reason?
The kid is obviously off his rocker if he refers to Savage as "the voice of reason." And the doe eyed fawning over a mention of Savage (Is he the most intelligent man you have ever met?) makes me want to puke.

13. And yet, if he were black he'd be expelled just for wearing gang
colors. I have no sympathy for the conservative hate monger.

14. He has the right to express his opinion
Just as others have the right to point out what an asswad he is.

16. Anyone who sets up a hotline for reporting "liberal traitors"
Is getting what he deserves

He needs to learn if he wants to do attack politics, he needs to accept the consequences

20. So, is he personally paying for this extra security?
He is personally responsible for his own security isn't he?

What a little shithead. I wonder what kind of crappy parents raised this mess. This kid is prime-time Nazi material.

23. He's a publicity seeker..
He has created his own little controversy, and the hate radio people will lap it up like kittens at a saucer of milk.. There is a rightwing book in the offing as well.. He's in it for the money...mark my words.. He will show up on "Hannity & Whipping boy", and after a time, he will come out with his book.. Look for Brian Lamb to feature him on Book Notes.. The title will probably be something like this.. "Standing Up to the Liberal Education Machine"..
I guess every conservo in the US dreams of having their book featured at Pic n Save's bargain book table :)

26. Couple of funny things here
One is that 'the Ranch' is located across an open fence from Sonoma State University, once known as 'Granola U', which is not exactly a hotbed of conservatism. In later years an influx of So Cal refugees may have changed the dynamic. I recently heard it referred to as 'Ivy League West'. When I went there we as students consistently rejected having the military recruiters on campus. Then the Fed stepped in to tell us that without military recruiters we would lose our Federal funding. That funding was essential to pay for our administration. The Prez, Arminana, makes over a quarter mil a year plus free house cars travel and entertaining. He likes to go to frequent the Opera- in Italy. I never once saw a car parked in the offical 'President' space near his office and at one point some freinds and I 'borrowed' it and moved it out by the music building a good half mile away. Quite the investigation ensued.

The other is that I've never known a 17 year old to be independently interested in politics to this extreme. I guess it's a good thing he's involve, if misguided, but I imagine this has more to do with his folks.

Wonder what they discuss at the dinner table? Grades, girls, sports, college plans or the traitorous liberals that brought them awful things like social security?
