Cal State President from Texas Disinvited Moore |
|
www.signonsandiego.com/news/education/20040915-9999-1mi15moore.html
"Universities are about the exchange of ideas," Haynes said in her brief e-mail. "Some ideas are uncomfortable..."
A brief Google of Karen Haynes reveals that she arrived at Cal State San Marcos from the University of Houston. Open Secrets reveals that in 1999 she donated $250.00 to the Congressional campaign of one Loy Sneary (how unlikely a name is that) a "conservative" Democrat who was running against Libertarian-leaning Republican Ron Paul. Apparently the race turned into a pissing contest about who was most conservative. The New Republic described Sneary as "the kind of Democrat Dick Armey could love."
It's a sad and sorry day when the President of a public university cancels a speaker simply because she disagrees with his politics. What the hell has happened to academic freedom in this country?
I hope Moore sees her in court.

3. moral cowards hide from the truth |
|
This is no different than the Chimp having orchestrated hand-picked town meetings. This is why the chimp requies loyalty oaths at his public meetings.
Repugs are moral cowards. I am certain she is being urged to do this as well. There could be some kind of retaliations for letting Moore speak.
Lies, greed, fear, that is all they have / need.

5. she is feeling the heat from this.. |
|
he wasn't even going to be on the campus, but at the Escondido Center for the Arts. I heard on Stacy Taylor's show yesterday that a lot of private contributions have come forth since this blew up, and it may still happen.
I like how they invited Schwarzenwhatever, and he never even returned their call!! He was probably too busy stumping at another strip mall or galleria, having a total recall about terminating girly men or something.
