The Zap victim was rightfully upset after reading the facts about the '04 election.

Putting the Tasar issue aside for a moment, why was he confronted before his moment was up? Did someone decide that his question was inappropriate? Or was it the manner of his style? Just wondering.

2. Aren't "journalists" so puzzling?
With their acknowledgment of what the whore media is up to... and their refusal to do much but comment on it every few years or so?

Gee... one might actually get the idea they were FINE with it. :think:

3. Actually, the student didn't do anything different than what's done on Sunday AM talk shows...
The age of civil discourse among mature adults is over. Now we have shouting, screeching, and interrupting as the "norm." I don't watch these shows as a rule, but have on occasion. I remember one such encounter on the "O'Rielly Factor" when Bill "interviewed" Phil Donahue. I was appalled at what passes for "political discussion" in this day and age.

The student did no more or no less than what one can see on FoxNews talk shows...
