MSNBC's Butter and Egg Man, Ed Schultz has a segment on his show called, "Psycho Talk", where he attacks one Republican or another. Last night, it was Karl Rove, whose talk at Johns Hopkins University was disrupted by Ed's heroes, the "99%-ers", in this case Occupy Baltimore. Guess who Ed thinks was the bad guy.
Hmm. Kind of reminds me of the "Irvine 11". (They were prosecuted, by the way.)
Ed doesn't like Rove. That is clear, and that is his right. What Ed doesn't understand is that Rove has a right to speak, and his audience has a right to hear him. Those idiots tried to shut him and the event down, which is exactly what the Irvine 11 tried to do to the Israeli ambassador to the US at UC-Irvine last year.
I would have hoped by now that the myriad incidents of public disorder, fighting cops, public defecation, rape, and even murder would have convinced Ed it was time to find other things to praise. Yet, Ed still clings to the discredited notion that these bums are noble people, and how dare Rove fight back against the 99%-ers?
All I can say is Ed has his values turned upside down. Psycho-talk, indeed.

I hope there is an email trail to expose the planning behind these "spontaneous expressions of freedom of speech."
"We can't let him come here and just say what he wants."
(As the MSU recorded in their planning meeting minutes.)
What the left usually does to block information or views they don't want to confront is to yell "La La La, I can't hear you."
There is a nexus between the left and the Islamists. They share tactics as well as as a fundamental hatred of the US
democracy.
.
Applying the principle "by their fruits shall you know them," Karl Rove must be a Chinese agent running a "Manchurian candidate" strategy.
His assignment was to put over a clueless failed business man with a cute baby face as President of the United States, feed him the line "Reagan proved deficits don't matter," and more than double the national debt, leaving our nation owing China so much money that we wouldn't even have an independent foreign policy any more.
Rove delivered -- wonder how much the world's largest remaining communist party has been paying him?
P.S. "There is a nexus between the left and the Islamists." The nexus is named Miggie, in whose cranial caverns these two tendencies, which mix about as readily as oil and water, find the proper catalyst to give the appearance of being identical.
Sialrys,
What you think of Rove is irrelevant. Do you defnd those disruptors shutting him down? You did not address that.
The nexus between the left and the Islamists is a fact. You need to learn that.
Gary, when your best argument is to state that your conclusion is a fact, you have deteriorated to a very sad state of mind. It may be even less convincing that a tautology. Ask an English professor what that word means.
What I think of Rove is irrelevant to WHAT? It is certainly not irrelevant to the preservation of the republic.
As I've said before, I have no objection to people indulging in a small interruption to make the point that the speaker is not universally admired. If there is a sustained attempt to drown the speaker out, that is an infringement on Rove's constitutional right to be wrong.
I recall in 1968 that a large body of what passed for leftists planned to sing Paul Simon's "Sounds of Silence" at a Nixon campaign speech as a protest. The candidate defused them by offering them the floor to sing their piece, then went on with his speech. The same year, a group that wished to rile another candidate, George Corley Wallace, knew how effective he was at snubbing those who challenged him. So, they showed up in the longest hair, the grubbiest clothes, the shabbiest "hippie" appearance possible, and spent the rally chanting "We want Wallace." It is the only time the man really lost his cool.
The problem with our modern-day martinets of political correctness is they put no creativity into their protests. If they did, they could make a sharp point, without actually violating the speaker's rights, then walk out.
