One semester in college I took Political Science. We had the lecture class M W F at 8:50 AM and the discussion section at 7:35 two days a week.
There was this 50ish Union-brainwashed nutcase in my discussion class and every morning he would stand up, sing Clinton's praises and go on about the "damn Republicans and that g--damn Gingrich" (this was 1996) and one morning I had had it. The prof was actually fairly conservative, but the discussions usually leaned left as about 70% of the students who actually talked were libs.
I was in college, so cut me some slack here-I came to class hung over one morning and was NOT in the mood for liberal bellyaching. This guy stood up and started talking about something and said "see, I'm a Democrat..." and paused for a minute. Right at that moment, not even realizing what I said, I blurted out:
"Yeah...that's a real f**king surprise!! Next thing you know you're gonna tell us your a Yoon-Yun (emphasised) man too!" and then I snickered.
The entire class, even most of the libs and the professor, were ROLLING in laughter...
GREAT STORY!
Yeah, that was fun...
"Tyranny of Liberal Academia" ping list:
Fox was discussing this yesterday. I wonder when NPR get all huffy and jump in.

When I was in college in the late 70s, the faculty was markedly more conservative than the students.
(Rep. Dan Surra, a member of the Pennsylvania committee who has questioned the need for the investigation, said nothing so far has swayed him. Students in his rural district complain about such issues as tuition, but not about professors' biases, the Democrat said.
"I've said it's the educational equivalent of the hunt for Bigfoot," he said.)
I hope Democrats continue to be this condescending. It seems like Surra needs a swift kick administered by Big Foot.
Wow. That is sickening.
My freshman year 'Critical Thinking and Writing', I made the (bleeding heart) prof get watery eyes b/c of my views on poverty. (The situation we were discussing was a poor single mother with two kids from when she was young and a previous drug addiction).
After hearing the usual crap that people are poor from a 'run of bad luck' and its 'society's fault'. I debated that with her and won. She lost it though when I suggested it would be best for the hypothetical woman to put her children in temporary foster care until she was established with a steady job and could afford to take care of them. That was before I even became political, what she was saying is simply stupid and didn't make sense.
Even after making a bleeding heart, young female prof cry, I did fine in the class.
