Any bets on what the University will do?

(I'll need tp see the point spread.)

Hmmm.

I bet they'll take the first opportunity to express the idea that people need to get along, and then quickly drop the idea of expelling anyone.

IMO if that were me I'd be suing someone for defamation.

Larry --

In Life its Ownself, Dan Jenkins advised: "Always bet the under on wives at the Superbowl."

Good advice for college administrators, too.

Isn't this an old Rove tactic? I seem to remember reading him tell about a time he planted negative stories about one of the candidates he was managing, knowing full well that it would look as if the opposition had done it.

An oldie but a goodie.

"Isn't this an old Rove tactic?"

This isn't very much the same, except that it's a dirty trick aimed at looking like someone else was saying something bad. I don't know that Rove was making up really nasty, racist and derogatory smears, and claiming that someone else was saying them.

Also, who's running for office here? Who's the "candidate" being managed? Apparently no one. And who's the "opposition?" Someone who simply has a different point of view, and wants to discuss it?

So what once was a dirty tricks game played by opposing candidates in elections, is now used to smear groups of people you disagree with, in order to avoid any actual discussion of issues, evidently because their position might actually be more rational than you could admit.

And you don't see a difference.

nunaim, it may be easier to believe it's a Rove tactic if you could provide evidence of where you read it.

That's why I used a question mark. I've been trying to locate the story again, without success. Maybe it wasn't Rove; I just can't imagine who else I might have read that kind of story about. There aren't that many political operatives whose strategies get hashed over in public.

If I find the link I'll post it. It was interesting, whoever did it.

Notropis: dial the faux indignation down a notch, will you, buddy?

"dial the faux indignation down a notch"

No indignation, faux or otherwise, just an appeal for a bit of logic, and a little less knee-jerk "it's just like Rove did" -- but I know I'm barking up the wrong tree on both counts.

It is generally my policy not to cite an article until and unless I know I can lay my hands on it quickly. Perhaps you should consider a similar policy, nunaim.

nunaim - Are you saying the progs have stolen Rove's tactics here by telling lies about the conservative students? They admitted planting the flyers and all. You are proud they have adopted the tactics of someone you hate?

You are even more messed up than I thought.

You are proud they have adopted the tactics of someone you hate?

Slow down there, Tex. This is what we call "projecting."

nunaim -
"Slow down there, Tex. This is what we call "projecting.""

Sorry cupcake, but you are the one who raised the subject of the Rove tactic above. Try again.

Daley, he's even projecting his projecting! -lol-

C-C-G - He stepped in his own derangement on that one!

Nunaim -- Lyndon Baines Johnson was notorious for that sort of campaign stunt.

In one case, even his own staff balked when he wanted to start a rumor that one of his opponents enjoyed intimate congress with farm animals.

"You can't say that!" his staffers protested. "It's horrible. And there's no way you can prove it!"

"I know I can't prove it," Johnson replied. "But let's make the sonofabitch _deny_ it!"

Of course, I don't know if LBJ is the right party for your needs...

If reality doesn't fit your agenda, create a reality that does.
