WASHINGTON - White House adviser Karl Rove was confronted by more than a dozen protesters who blocked his car and threw things as he tried to leave a speaking engagement at American University, officials said.

Rove was attending a guests-only discussion of electoral politics Tuesday night sponsored by the American University College Republicans.

“It was their last meeting of the year, and Mr. Rove spent about an hour with the students,” said Maralee Csellar, a university spokeswoman

So now the average citizen can hold others against their wills and damage ones personal property? Or does this only to liberals?

I like the idea of Mace being used.

Back in the late 80’s I got to see it used on a bunch of leftist protestors (at the Univ of Minnesota) who were trashing public property.

It seemed to give them the attitude adjustment that were badly in need of at the time.

My question is that if the police are called and have to remove people from blocking a road way and throwing objects at the cars, why were there no arrest?

How many of these hoodlums were the Professors?

Or did some in the faculty instigate and arrange this?

So much for “free speech” in America. The DNC Brownshirts have won.

If there had been an arrest, the charges would’ve been dismissed later. There is no hard prosecution of such protestors. They are booked and released when the stories leave the headlines.

“Free Assaults” are now included in the “Free Speech” clause.

most of the rioters were off-duty police officers?

Another example of how leftists view free speech at our universites/left-wing indoctrination factories. The day will come when libs begin killing anyone who disagrees with them.

“The day will come when libs begin killing anyone who disagrees with them.”

That’s just silly right-wing paranoia. Stalin, Mao, Castro, Kim Jong-Il, and Mugabe never raised a hand against any dissidents in their respective socialist paradises.

You deserve to be maced if you go to a Uriah Heep concert. Somewhere in my parent’s basement is my “The Magician’s Birthday” album...along with many other fine music...like Hocus Pocus by Focus.
