I expect that the Church leadership used this as a "focus group" to confirm what many have perceived as the sad, sheep-like state of too many LDS youngsters who have been educated in the liberal cesspools that we refer to as "public schools" and whose admiration of Dirty Hairy is about as much as they are able to muster by way of youthful rebellion.
I also expect that there soon will be a house-cleaning at the increasing liberal, albeit Church-owned, Deseret News and at BYU itself.
I take the Deseret News account with a grain of salt, having already heard conflicting reports from several BYU students concerning the level of enthusiasm and worship accorded to Dirty Harry the Red as reported by the Deserted News.
The Church cleaned out its KSL radio and television operation a few years back after it started feeling its liberal oats and its married news director was excommunicated after having an affair with a subordinate who also was married.
Finally, Dirty Harry fell into a neat little trap when he dissed the memory of Ezra Taft Benson and other revered past and present Church leaders and smeared many things that even relatively sane Democrats value.
I suspect that his sizeable base of "Mormon" and a lot of non-LDS voters in "Nirvada" is now swirling down the porcelain throne as we speak.
To paraphrase Reid's intellectual and moral superior, the fictional Forrest Gump, "Effrontery, arrogance, apostacy, and rudeness to one's host is as effrontery, arrogance, apostacy, and rudeness to one's host.
