  You guys are too easy to toy with.

  Ah, the old "Everyone thinks I'm a giant moronic tool, so I'll just say I'm toying with them like a true puppetmaster!"
  
  Good one, NCF II.

  LOL !
  
  You act like I am the only one who does not condone giving this murderer the speaker's platform. I know that is par for the course with you, but you can probably do better. If you google 'outrage over Goddard speaker' you will quickly learn that the huge backlash concerning this bizarre event is now being covered by a plethora of news organization:

  .......... you get the idea.
  
  The outrage, as described in most of the reports, comes from all law enforcement agencies, the corrections system, the family, and tens of millions of regular Americans. Unfortunately, you appear to again be distancing yourself from regular Americans, which is fine. But trying to label us in order to make yourself appear mainstream is foolhardy. Good luck.

  The only people "outraged" are people like you who ingest TV news like sheep. There are TWENTY people graduating from the two-bit college TWENTY, TWENTY, TWENTY. I bet I can go to any college campus in America and find twenty goofballs who talk all sorts of radical. I'm not outraged by them; I laugh at them. THey mean NOTHING. Whoever said it here before was right. The right wing news media publicizing is giving it 10,000 more influence than it originally had. Can't you see that?

  You completely ignored the information in my prior post, particularly about who is outraged.
  
  But ......... carry on.

  I'm quite certain there are other people "outraged" about this. They are acting like lemmings just as much as you. This situation doesn't warrant outrage. The guy known as the Night Stalker, who killed a bunch of people in LA in the early 1980s was in prison. Some woman "fell in love" with him and married him. I bring this up because both situations are about equally influential. Acting "outraged" at either one is giving the idiots of the world a zillion times more time and consideration than they deserve. If I were some unshowered student at this school - one of the TWENTY that is graduating - and I decide I'm going to be a 'rebel' by picking this guy for my commencement speech, the whole thing is kind of anticlimactic since no one will really know or care what I did to be radical. UNLESS, the tabloid press picks it up, celebrity journalists like Megan Kelly feature it, and lambs like you swallow it. Then I have achieved what I sought.

  This is the stuff that people like Glenn beck feed to the public to get ratings. We shouldn't give these goofs any media.
