Karl Rove Haters Really Know How To Elevate the Dialogue

Behold the sign of the protesters!

Unlike those of us who are actually mature and debate the speakers that come to campus, the Leftist protesters call Rove a "war criminal" and themselves "dissenters" and "justice lovers."
(And of course, in their warped world, it is conservatives who think in such gross generalities...)

Fortunately, this country has the perfect get out of jail free card for Rove: the presumption of innocence and its found in this little thing known as the Constitution.

Perhaps our friends on the Left have forgotten that we actually have a judicial procedure, enamored as many of them seem to be with campus wide emails that find criminals before crimes -- scribbles on white boards, mostly -- have even been photographed by the Claremont Police Department. In that world, all that is necessary for punishment is the consent of a feckless administrator.

So, by the powers vested in me as one who has actually won a game of Monopoly, I grant thee thy reprieve, Mr. Rove. You've earned it.

The fact that you say "We will delete any post that do not add to the conversation, especially anonymous, ad hominem attacks on us" simply shows how angry, antagonistic and simply vile your blog is. You are so used to attacking people, ideas and everyone who is NOT a conservative nut, that you subconciously know that the vast majority of people are disgusted with your ranting. By saying that you will delete any ad hominem attacks on you is denying others a right that you give yourself and use pretty LIBERALLY on others.

Since when was an Athenaeum appearance a "debate"? Rove will give a speech, then take a handful of questions from the audience. He can answer those questions on an open-ended basis.

Since when were audience members in the Athenaeum allowed to "debate" a guest? There's a reason why the venue controls the microphones. You mislead readers by characterizing his appearance as a "debate."
